    Tuning

    I ran a Hemi Fever tune on my 4th gen and the diff between stock was noticable (and that was on a 91 tune). I've run my buddies truck a ton when they were both stock, and the results were very consistent. It all came down to who got the jump and they were always within a bumper length of each...

    Tuning

    Yup wideband is essential for tuning a boosted vehicle. I don't know a tuner on the planet (that you'd ever want to use), that will tune without one. I loved my innovate wb on my boosted stang.

    Totally unhappy with my purchase

    I understand where you are coming from. Maybe not the best approach, but it's easier for the guy outside looking in. Having multiple issues can be infuriating and a poor dealer can exacerbate the issue even further. I have had my fair share of issues with Ram over the years and comparatively...

    Turning off fog lights during a turn

    Yes, to each their own. If I lived in Suburbia running interstates or similar I wouldn't rely on driving lights nearly as much (even though I still am in the camp of the more light the better); but in wooded 2 lane highways that I drive you'd be surprised how much help "driving lights" are. We...

    Turning off fog lights during a turn

    This has nothing to do with your statement. You mention fogs distract you, not oncoming drivers (which also isn't true). The factory shuts the fogs off when highs are on for that exact reason; to protect oncoming traffic. It has nothing to do with distracting the driver. If you were the only...

    Night edition bumper, grille, applique

    Every vehicle I have ever owned I have color matched grilles/bumpers; long before it was cool to do so. They always come primered; with the end user responsible for painting. You can paint the chrome (product such as bullydog works very well); it's not as durable as a primered base, but if you...

    Turning off fog lights during a turn

    ? As others have said; the more light the better. Come drive in my neck of the woods where it's deer haven and you will appreciate having light everywhere as opposed to a mile in front of you. That's like walking around the house with the light in the room you're in off but the room down the...

    Totally unhappy with my purchase

    Agreed. I am always amazed at the misinformation floating around on the forums. People offer advise without having accurate information, or knowledge, to assist properly. This then gets perpetuated all over the place.

    Lots of issues reported, curious who’s had no issues, major ones anyway?

    Absolutely. The forums are sounding boards for complaints more than compliments. Nature of the beast. I take most of the issues I've had with a grain of salt. Most problems, while inconvenient, are fixable. Issues that should have been addressed while at the factory that aren't are just poor...

    Without a doubt. You would be amazed at what I've seen over the years. Like I mentioned; I know better than to expect perfection on mass produced vehicles. This one (body issues aside) just has more gremlins than I've seen in past years.

    Lots of issues reported, curious who’s had no issues, major ones anyway?

    I believe in being ethical. I'm not going to look the other way and sell it to someone else, so they can have problems. ;) Most dealers are pretty upstanding. It was the last laramie night edition out there. I actually ordered a gray night edition and it went MIA in the order bank. My last night...

    Lots of issues reported, curious who’s had no issues, major ones anyway?

    Considering it's my dealership; I'm going to say no. ;) I do love how everyone is super quick to blame the dealer though. :) You'd be surprised how many vehicles come from factory with previous repairs. Happens more often then you'd think. Unlike some of you on here; I don't go over truck with...

    Air design tailgate applique

    I agree on the monster Ram letters. My 18 Night Edition had them and they were tacky. Ram isn't shy about advertising their brand.

    Banks pedal monster infomercial

    Pedal commander isn't any better in my experience; and I've owned one on three different trucks.

    Lots of issues reported, curious who’s had no issues, major ones anyway?

    This is my 5th Ram (7th FCA vehicle) in 9 years and the worst qc and issues by far. Really disappointing. Based on this truck, my Ram streak is definitely over. While most should be fixable; and minor issues are to be expected on a mass produced truck; the amount of issues on my truck are...

    Air design tailgate applique

    I really wanted to do this on my white night edition Ram but was disappointed that is stops short of both sides of the gate, leaving a gap. When color matching it would be fine, but I wanted to paint it black which would look odd. My only complaint is it looks very "Fordish". I decided on doing...

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    I'm doing it the best that is available with the resources we have. I'm doing a 2/3 drop. Core4x4 shortened links, adjustable trac bar, 2" rear springs, front adjustable lowering struts, qa1 rear shocks. While I would love some drop control arms I can live with a little off camber running the...

    Banks pedal monster infomercial

    That was merely a dramatization to demonstrate if the unit happened to fail your pedal is inop; which is true. There is no way you are going to reach down and unhook the pedal commander when rolling down the highway in traffic at 70mph. Has anyone ever had one fail; not that I know of. Is it...
