What did you do to your Ram today???

[SP97]

Yesterday I took delivery! I've been a bit busy with work but managed to put a Dee Zee bed mat in (yes I know, not a lot to that) and a Truxedo Sentry CT tonneau Cover installed. I also picked up two very excited boys up from school.

Got my Lomax Hard Cover today and already have the Fuel Assault Wheels. Now if my new Limited I ordered on 2/12/2019 comes in I can install. Put 4 coats of CarPro CQUARTZ on the cover (possible overkill but it was sitting and the application on the cover was easy so I went for the extra protection). Put 3 coats of GYEON Rim on the wheels.

Did you install the caliper covers? If you dont mind, where did you get them and what was the cost?

Received my S&B cold air intake today so it looks like I will be installing it this weekend.

Since I'm a newbie here I guess I should say that I have already got new 22x10 Chrome wheels installed and traded in the stock 18's for credit toward the new wheels. I also have installed a performance chip from "chip your car". It definitely has improved the HP, engine throttle response, shifting and increased the mileage about 5 MPG on average. I was not really a believer in these things until i got one.

I'm also interested in hearing more about real gains and improvements from your chipyourcar module. I looked it up and im assuming it's similar to the jetchips I've seen over the years. Definitely keep us posted on your experience with this.

I checked out there site after you mentioned them. If you don’t mind me asking...which stage chip did you get? I see there are three stages available.

I bought the Level 3 chip. I figured if i was going to buy one why not go for the most I could get from the chip.

 

[silver64]

What was your gas mileage prior to installing the chip.

I could not seem to get better than 17.2 MPG prior to the chip being installed. Afterwards it was 21.9 MPG on a recent trip of 380 miles.

Thank you! I was wondering if by chance you were getting better then advertised... I’ve read tons of reviews some say it’s a scam. Some say it works as advertised. Happy to hear your seeing real results. I think I’ll give it a try!

For $200 It seems like this is in the the too good to be true category. So many negative reviews out there. Anyone else try one of these?

I am still waiting for my truck to come in so they have not been installed. They are the MGP brand. Best price I could find was $190 with free shipping. Call and ask for Remy at Tru Motorsports (317) 787-8668.

I definitely like heading your results this far! Subs promising as an easy mod with real world gains. I keep a close eye on this thread. Keep us posted over the next 1000 miles. For now, this is in my likely purchases but awaiting a little more info. With 35s and cold winter in West Michigan, I'm at 13mpg (mostly city), I'd love to see it up in the 17s average.

Ordered the Bedrug XLT Bedmat, part # XLTBMT19CCS. It's the one with the tailgate cover that hinges to the bed cover. I've got a trip coming up in a few weeks and I think my luggage, cooler, etc. will be fine in the back of the truck with the Extang tonneau cover and the bed rug.

Nice. Are those the stock 20" tires?

 

[silver64]

i'm interested to hear about the ceramic tint. Is it applied as a spray on or does it go on like traditional after market tints?

 

[Creep0321]

Look like the premium paint and polished 20” rims for Laramie, and the stock ORP tires.

Silver - I believe he's talking about Llumar's FormulaOne Pinnacle tint which is a ceramic film tint. It's not sprayed on. I've had this tint on several vehicles and it's good stuff. I'm about to have my truck's two front windows done with it when the weather warms up a bit. Here's a link to their website.

Yep. Stock 20”x9” rims wrapped in 275/55/20 falken wildpeaks that come with the off road pkg from some dealers.

Yep. Had the same stuff on my last vehicle. Best part is all Llumar installers have to go thru certification. And llumar includes a liftetime warranty against bubbles, peeling, fading, etc plus a 1 time no fault warranty.

De-chromed 98%.....installed painted front and rear bumper, grille and new black hood bezel. Only the door handles left.......poll question - do I put black RAM door emblems?

Did you paint your chrome bumpers and grill or order color matched parts from the factory? What did that run you?
