How's it going guys. Just got my first ram, but certainly not new to the mopar community.... I have a couple more. Loving the truck, but already have two major repairs being done. Either way... I look forward to being part of the community. I have lots of knowledge on anything paint/body/exterior detail so hopefully I can help some people out in that regard. Thanks guys!

Thanks man! I started my career as a prepper at a body shop and worked my way up to being lead painter. Somewhere along the way i started filling in for the mobile department that does on site work for dealers and saw the potential there. I now own a mobile business that mainly specializes in touch up, scratch removal, paint corrections and ceramic coating for local car dealers. I still love to paint, but the real money is in those other services.

Gyeon for ease of use and a quality product. Adams and kamikaze are nice as well, but not quite as user friendly. Honestly any reputable brand will work well. The key is to maintain the coating with maintenance washes, never use auto washes, and give it a top coat every once in awhile.

Hey 156- I just got my new 2025 1500 as well. I'm having transmission issues. Curious as to why your truck is in the shop already. Can you share?
Thank you,

Well... mine is a 21' and a 5.7. I think I forgot to mention those details. But, it went in for a manifold leak and that turned into new manifolds, cam and lifters. It was all under powertrain warranty... no big deal. I am a huge mopar fan and wouldn't get discouraged if I were you. If you buy a ford... you'll have ford problems, if you buy a chevy... you'll have chevy problems. You bought a ram, so you have ram problems, but atleast you aren't driving a Ford or a Chevy. The key to owning any vehicle these days (especially mopar stuff) is to FIND A GOOD SERVICE CENTER! Good luck to you and I hope you enjoy your truck!
