Just finished my radar install and since I am picky, I ended up pulling a lot of panels and poking around to get the unit where I wanted it. My radar also has a remote switch, so that had to be mounted as well. Observations:
1. This was harder to do as compared to my GMC because the head liner fits so much tighter on the Ram, making it more difficult to snake the cord through. I see this as a positive with regard to design and quality.
2. The panels on the interior of the truck have nylon clips instead of the old school aluminum ones. They are a bit easier to remove and when reinstalling them, they slide nicely back into place with a smooth "pop". I think this is a major reason why these trucks are so quiet. I damn near broke one of my GM panels getting it off because the tab would not let go. It rattled, but was loose and a ***** to remove.
3. There are number of bumper pads and pieces of insulation on the back of some of these panels, again, one of the reasons they are so quiet.
I know these are little things, but as a boater, you can tell a lot about the care and attention to detail by crawling below decks. I feel the same way about vehicles and have to say I was pleased with what I found in my Ram.
