    MBRP exhaust installed

    I don't have great videos.... But a mediocre video is better than none, right? This is just the muffler swap... Not the full catback. In person it's sightly louder than in the video (almost too loud for my taste), and since the truck was in the garage, this video captures engine noise along...

    8.4 freeze up

    Yes. I am having this problem along with some others such as.... Only one xm station works, randomly switching between audio inputs, and random reboots. Very frustrating.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed a Truxedo Sentry tonneau cover. Other than adjusting the height/level of the cargo rails (sloppy assembly by FCA), the cover fits really well. I used a couple different sizes of some weather stripping to fill in the gaps near the tailgate, but I did that after I took these pics. So...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I think there are other ways for dealers to make money: volume kickbacks, financing kickbacks, lease initiation kickbacks, etc. If they sell enough vehicles to hit these types of targets there are sizeable checks available for the dealership. If this is their strategy, they take some risk by...

    I can't confirm for you, but when I bought my parts, I confirmed my color by calling the parts department before placing my order. I used tasca parts. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I believe it's 72 months (I know... Crazy), and I was not allowed to choose a shorter term. No prepayment penalty though. I forgot the actual term because I'll pay it off in less much than I year. Also, they allowed you to put $10,000 down at most, or since my trade was more than $10k, I...

    Big horn oem led headlights question

    You can get the Laramie LED lights. They are also an option on the BigHorn. They're expensive but they'll fit your grill perfectly. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I took an FCA loan to get a $2500 discount. I think some of this is from FCA, and the rest is from the dealer adding incentive in order to reach their target number of loans to receive the kickback they're looking for. I will pay off the remainder of the loan in a few months. The rate is 2.99%...

    Bed mats for Ramboxes?

    Yea, fits perfectly everywhere. Need to cut the holes for the tie downs, but that's always the case. The main floor is perfectly contoured, the tailgate is just flat carpet without and contouring/foam padding. Pictures show the 4gen rambox Bedrug installed in my 2020 Bighorn (BTS) rambox 5'7"...

    3.21 gears and Larger tires

    That's odd. Charging for the use of a tool? It's really a labor only thing... And it should take much less an hour. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    I have LED lights in my garage and it effects the garage door opener signal. I can get it to work, but sometimes it takes a buck of tries. I'll switch back sometime when I get the chance. I've never experienced these types of LED interference before with other cars or any other wireless tech...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    In my opinion, a 6 hour drive to get a deal you're happy with is an easy choice. Take a nice drive and get the truck. I did 9 hours each way to get mine. It was better than anything I could find in the country and I saved at least 7 grand compared to dealers within a few hours of my house...

    Bed mats for Ramboxes?

    The tailgate is permanently attached to the floor peice but could be cut pretty easily I think. It comes as two peices... One to cover all horizontal surface, and the other to cover the walls. The two peices zip together. Worth noting: the tailgate piece that you would cut off is just flat...

    How much have you spent on mods?

    You're right about depreciation, but if truely minimizing your cost of ownership was the goal you should'nt be buying new vehicles (or nearly new). Why not buy a base model vehicle that's many years older?... I'll bet you come out ahead financially with an older car, but we all have our reasons...

    $600 for ceramic coat? What product and where? That sounds pretty cheap. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    When I lived in states with sales tax, you paid your sales tax when you registered the vehicle. Since the dealer isn't registering the vehicle the sales tax would be paid by the person that buys the used car from the dealer when they register it in their state. Does the dealer pay a sales tax...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Ouch!!! How is that even legal? Are there many states like that? It's hard to believe that exists when there are several states (including MT where I live) that have no sales tax. This makes negotiating easier because if you don't like their trade value you can sell it private party without...
