    Getting a good signal from Uconnect for aftermarket audio?

    Has a product come out that allows us to get a great signal from the Uconnect (12") that can be sent to amps? This is the first vehicle since the 90s that i havent put an awesome system in and have missed it since buying this truck 4 years ago.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    Ive always wanted a turbo/supercharged engine and the way the industry is going, it seems everything will be electric before long. While im ok with electric, in my opinion, theres a lot that needs to be worked out (charging reliability, towing range among others). That being said, i think ill...

    Chips on bumper

    I've got a ton of chips on my front bumper. Would you spend the time to fill all these in yourself with touch up paint, bring it in to a shop for a repaint or something else?

    Any links on replacing the starter?

    Got stranded at work today; truck drove in fine. Went to leave, tried to start it, heard a click and no turnover. All electronics work, voltage is correct, battery is a 3 month old AGM. got about 57k miles on it. Based on some reading here, seems to be the starter. It's cheap enough to just...

    50k miles - front brakes like new, rears still have 60% life?

    Ive been hearing some slight squealing when i apply the brakes lately. figured at 50k the pads needed to be replaced so I dropped it off at Brakes Plus for them to switch em out. Ultimately, they said the fronts were almost new (14mm) and the rears had about 60% life left (inner/outers were...

    Built in navigation not receiving gps signal

    We live in Colorado and went up to the mountains this weekend. We noticed the built in nav was a bit off and didn't show our elevation. Fast forward to today, and it looks like it's not receiving a signal from the gps (see pic). It thinks I'm in some ocean, which I assure you is far away from...

    Programmer for 2020 Ram that is more for options than performance?

    I seem to recall a device that allowed you to change various options (keep tow/haul, auto start/stop setting when turning on your truck) but cant figure out which one it was. Im ultimately trying to change my tire size, but if I could have a few more settings to play with for a bit more $$, it...

    Just pulled the trigger on a set of Toyo open country AT 3 285/55/R22 (updated w/ pics)

    Ive been debating on what tires and what size to buy since I bought my truck. Finally decided on the Toyo AT 3 as they'll be a good tire for winter driving in the Colorado Rockies. I know I'll need to do some trimming on the wheel well liner, but no biggie. Ive seen other trucks on here with...

    AC condensate not dripping

    Ive noticed a funky smell in my truck when the auto start/stop kicks back on and the ac is running. I read on this forum to make sure the ac condensate drain is dripping; mine is not. Ive put a rifle barrel cleaner up in there and nothing. I can feel cool air pumping out of the drain, but no...

    Anyone make sway bar disconnects?

    It doesn't look like there are any companies making sway bar disconnects for the 5th gen 1500s. Is there not enough demand, or does the design of our trucks not warrant it?

    Received another Uconnect update yesterday

    I forgot to snap a picture of the screen, but it was something to the effect of quality of life improvements and other things. Cant find out what it actually did.

    Did some sound deadening to my doors

    Decided to put some CLD tiles on the metal of the doors then some 1.5 lb/sf mass loaded vinyl between the inner plastic and door skin. Sounds much quieter but still hear road noise that Im now certain is coming from the rear vents (this will be the next to be addressed). Took a few hours to...

    Did my own ceramic coating

    I decided on a DIY ceramic coating after reading all the reviews since I purchased my truck in October. Took about 15 hours over 3 days to complete. Ive got to say, Ive never owned a vehicle that looked so good! Most of the work was in the prep, and It sucked. When I was finished, my wife...

    Ceramic coating on glass?

    Ill be ceramic coating my truck with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light in the next week or 2. I have googled this but not found any definitive answers: can you put ceramic coatings on your windshield/windows? I believe you can, but would like to be certain.

    Paint Protection Film - Any DIY Input?

    Within the next few weeks Ill be ceramic coating my truck, myself. I noticed that the front bumper already has lots of chips in it with only 5000 miles. That got me thinking that I should at least apply some touch up paint and a PPF before the ceramic coating. Im really only looking to do the...

    Come along?

    We got stuck in a deep snow bank in the mountains yesterday. In lieu of a winch, are there any come alongs that have a good weight rating (for our trucks) that would be recommended ? I dont put myself in situations where I need a winch often, but would like to have a tool to get me out of a...
