    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    I hear you about the drilled rotors. I used the slotted ones on my old Sequoia when towing a pair of SeaDoos. Had to really lean on them 3-4 times and didn't notice any discernible fade. Now I occasionally tow a 24' trailer weighing 6,500+- lbs. One of the fronts is starting to warp. 80k miles...

    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    Thanks guys. I now have something to do when I ignore the family Xmas afternoon after the goodies are opened.;)

    Power Stop, EBC Or ????

    Need to replace front rotors & pads. I've had good luck with Power Stop in the past but it appears they are now made in China. EBC is made either here or UK. Never used those though. Is there another source I should consider?

    Mirror glass, heated and auto dimming only

    The dealer will probably ask for your VIN in order to get the correct glass. I thing I paid about $125 for mine installed. And I'm not going thru one of those car washes with the spinning brushes ever again. That's what cracked mine.

    Do I need to replace headlight housing with LED upgrade?

    I'd try an adjustment first, but the housings are different also. Just a rant----I wish it was a requirement that if you get a lift, a headlight re aiming is required. I can't tell you how many times I've flashed someone and get flashed back with their highs - it's always a lifted truck. If you...

    Pedal commander pros/cons/problems

    No problem, it's kind of difficult to realize others intentions without a crystal ball (mine fell off my desk and shattered in the 1994 Northridge, Ca earthquake) My background goes back to the 1960's (I'm 73). Every vehicle I've ever owned has had some sort of performance modification, until...

    Pedal commander pros/cons/problems

    No sarcasm intended BL. In my experience, modifications are a continually evolving process: I was just trying to caution you to stay away from something that in my experience, is a do-nothing part; it does nothing to add power or fuel economy. You will defiantly lose fuel economy if you use the...

    Pedal commander pros/cons/problems

    True, but the OP seems ready to take a jump to headers and possibly a cam. He already has a throttle body spacer, exhaust mods and a CAI so he's on his way.

    Pedal commander pros/cons/problems

    I had one on another vehicle......IMHO, it's the most useless way to spend y our $$. All it does is change the ratio between pedal and throttle. I'd spend the money on a good aftermarket tune that optimizes whatever you want to.

    2019 Laramie 1500 Goodyear Steadfast HT or Michelin Defender LTX M/s2

    The Michelin's all the way.....got them on my 21 and my wife's 2020 Altima. As long as you are not towing at the limit they will work just fine.

    Outside temp reading 8 to 10 degrees high most of the time on a 2025 ram 1500 Laramie.

    Makes sense. At work, I park with the left side facing the sun in the afternoon. I've come out to temps showing 125+ degrees. Tires on drivers side also 1-2 psi over passenger side. When going thru a car wash, it can go down 20+ degrees.

    back doors will not unlock

    Check the settings under "car settings". Lost of options there.

    Michelin Defenders

    I was very happy to get rid of the stock Bridgestones. The Michelin Defender is an order of magnitude better. I'm using the 275-55x20 LTX M/S2 (stock) size though. I run 38lbs front & rear but when towing a 5.5k trailer I bump up to 44/48. No issues when towing.

    Google Maps Satellite View

    I'm an Apple user and would like that ability also. It's the older version (4) so I guess I can't

    OEM electric running boards pricing

    Take a look at the ones from AMP. I think I paid $1,500.00 and they came with a 5 year warranty.

    Battery Replacement Suggestions?

    I went with an X2 AGM...I'd stay away from anything from Optima. From what I have been told, they are not made like they used to be.

    LED upgrade for halogen reflectors

    My last vehicle, not a RAM, I used Diode Dynamics. A bit on the pricey side but buy once, cry once.

    NSFW Funny Pics and MEMES Thread - no nudity - PICS AND MEMES ONLY

    Listen to the old Beach Boys song " Barbara Ann". Back in 79 when they took the hostages, we changed the words to it and sang it loud. Very similar.

    Hemi s Back

    I'd like to see them take a 426 or 440 and put modern electronics on it. There are probably enough of us old folks that would buy "just because". Ford did a redo of the 460.
