Installed my borla s cat back exhaust this afternoon. This was the first cold start. Really love the sound. Has that nice growl on a cold start, but really tones down after it warms up and is barely noticeable in the cab with windows up unless you get on it. Need to do a little adjustment to the passenger side tip, its just not quite centered, will work on that this weekend, or take it to a buddy's shop and get him to adjust if i cant get it.

I wonder if there is a way to find out an upcoming build date on a truck ? Ordered my Spitfire orange BTS on 3/5 and dealer told me 6 weeks. Wondering if that is just wishful thinking ?

Unfortunately, that is just wishful thinking. I believe production wasn't even starting until early this month on the Bright White and Spitfire Orange BTS trucks. And if the previous releases give us any idea, they usually produce the every-day colors (i.e. Black, Patriot Blue, Billet Silver, Flame Red, and Bright White) first, then the low-volume colors (i.e. Gator, Ceramic Gray, Anvil, Tank, and Spitfire Orange).

So, coupled with the fact that production wasn't even starting until approximately a month after you placed your order, and with production/delivery now taking 8-10 weeks...you still have some time.

Do you have a VIN yet?

No vin # yet. I'm hoping for an early or mid May delivery

Anybody have some feedback or experience with a 2 in rear lift spacer(most likely going with Motofab) with the stock off road group shocks? I plan to install the Readylift control arms with 2.5 front spacers from Motofab and wanted to lift the rear 2 inches since I tow a boat often and never cared much for the nose high look. Just wondering if I would need longer shocks for the rear and how it rides with that big a spacer....I've got a 2 in nose dive currently so I figure 2.5 front and 2 rear gives me 1.5 in lower in the front. Thanks!

Funny I just got the recall in the mail from FCA about having the incorrect springs being installed on my truck.

Awesome that FCA stepped up and put a recall out.

Hey guys,
Had the 6112 and RL UCA on for about a week now. Ride is great and truck is level. But, I’m hear a little squeak or chirp when I drive slow or when I left off the break. Not sure if it is the spring breaking in or something not greased right. Anyone else had this... I do have to take it back to the dealer for them to check all the Bolts specs.

I wouldn't be concerned until after all the bolts and stuff have been verified to be tight. Then I'd start really trying to diagnose the issue.

So had time to install my tail gate decal, idea I stole from another gen5 BTS member. Not the best pic but she needs a bath anyway.

 

[Wookie0323]

Remembered to snap this before leaving work today!

That looks perfect on that color.

I got my recall notice Thursday, dropped off my BTS for the springs to be replaced today(Monday). I'm wondering how much of a height increase it will have. Dealer said that it will not change at all but I would imagine it will be that standard 1" for the ORP. I should know by tonight when I pick it up and remeasure it.

 

[bcwood64]

I get a overall inch on the truck. Noticed it more on the front end then the rear.

 

[Thekidcasual]

It’s about a inch all around. Parked next to a rebel before I had them installed it looks small but now with org springs they sit equal

 

[Warmonkey497]

Nice, I'll take it.

 

[Warmonkey497]

Just got a call from the dealer, they had to order more parts for the repair.... they gave me another RAM for a loaner so I guess I will save the miles on mine for a few days.

 

[bcwood64]

What did they order? Mine was in and out in three hours.
