What did you do to your Ram today???

[Trail3n]

So that driver side tail light is a model issue, eh?

I did mine a few weeks ago and there are tons of how-tos on YouTube showing the replacement.

Hey JamRam, I honestly didn’t look to see if it were a ram wide issue. I noticed it was out when unlocking vehicle and drivers light did not stay illuminated. Happy I made the switch as overall the lights are brighter and no issues this far. I did check out YouTube as I first took at the screws then noticed the plastic push clips needed to be removed as well. Straight forward install

New rims and tires and many new factory parts. So i have Probably 1 of the rarest, and love/hate colors out there for the Ram. Rugged brown pearlcoat. I changed the wheel package to a 275/65r10 116t recon grappler with some 20" built to serve rims that I polished. Great tires! 34"x11" 4ply.
Anyone seen or have a rugged brown pearlcoat?
Nitto told me these tires should be set to 30psi all the way around...sounds way to low. What ya guys think?
Truck color looks so different depending on sun or shade. Pretty cool.
Put a 2" level with the bilstein 5100s.
Has power steps, 12 uconnect with 360 view, self parking perpendicular or parallel, adaptive cruise, heated & cooled seats, blind spot, lane assist, axle lock, tow pkg, etorque, 392 gears with 26 gallon tank and spray in bed liner. Great truck...now. was in dealer shop for 10 weeks. Exhaust manifold leak, driveahaft failure and rear axle failure. Fixed exhaust manifold, replaced driveshat and entire axle. Also both side mirrors replaced due to not operating correctly. During the 10 weeks they put about 4 more door dings on truck besides the few I had. They said they would fix. They got their pointless dent guy to fix them, and to my surprise he fixed every ding on the truck. Have 58k on truck so all covered under 5yr/60k power train warranty(whew). My after market warranty took care of mirrors with a $100 deductible. $1000 each mirror due to camera, blind spot and heated(still unbelievable price for mirrors). When all was done the dealer said just sign, you owe nothing. I was very happy with that. Also they took car of rental cost for the full 10 weeks at a cost of $2500.
If I had to pay for all this would easily be over 10k. Have a brand new truck now and couldn't be happier.
So I rambled on, but initial questions were do you feel 30psi is to low for these tires, and has anyone seen or have a rugged brown pearlcoat(RBPC).
Been a crazy ride with this Ram, but all worked out great!

Nat the same size or brand, but I run my 35's at 30 psi rear and 35 psi front. Otherwise not getting full tread patch contact.

I saw the same color truck this morning. It's not a color I would pick but yours looks great, especially with the BTS wheels and bigger tires.



I believe that's an XL rated tire?? I ran a similar sized, XL rated Ridge Grappler on my old Laramie at 40 psi. At 35 psi I was getting too much edge wear.

Nothing as exotic as some of you guys but in the first week we’ve had out Built to Serve rustproofed (Krown), added WeatherTech mud flaps and under seat storage tray and installed our Thinkware dash cam.

Lol, I get that from time to time on these forums "what can brown do for you" lol.
Like I said it is a love hate type color. Hard to find an accent color to go with it.
Tires don't specify xl, they are a 116T. Originals were a 114 XL, so these new nittos are rated for a little higher load, but still a T. I'm running at 35psi as 30 was to soft and ride was bad. Seem to have good full tread contact after doing a chalk test and feels way better too

1 thing I do like is it is different and not just another white or black Ram running all over(tho I do like those colors too), just like that it's not seen at every turn.

Yeah, those are the lighter weight tires. They don't specify an XL rating but all of the other 116 tires are XL rated. I think you'll get more even wear at 40 psi.

Is your truck lowered? Almost touching mud flaps on the ground.

You wouldn't be happy with the comments about the Havoc TRX's on the Ram-TRX forum.

I was smiling on the 1st frowny, laughing on the 2nd. Good to see more color options even when they are not top pics.

I love that color. My buddy had a '19 for several years. Nothing wrong just put a lot of hard miles on it. He's volunteer fire. Was chief for a while.

Got new tires installed this week Toyo Open Country A/T 3 285/60R20. I've read in posts on this forum that they would fit with no rubbing so I went with them, forgetting that I have 1.5 inch spacers and they definitely rub. Followed instructions on another post on this forum on how to gain more space and used some zipties to pull the fender liners back and all is good now also adjusted the speedo with AlphaOBD to get it reading correctly

 

[Idahoktm]

I agree. I actually like the Havoc but I don't think I could pull it off. Maybe if I was in my 30's. You have to be willing to go along with the jokes if you pick a color like that.

 

[TrueNorth]

Nope, not lowered - I think the angle I took the pictures is creating a bit of an optical illusion…the mud flaps have plenty of ground clearance.

I tend to go with the older age years, when you really don't give a flying F what people have to say. I keep my vehicles for the long term so I do have to live with a color. Silver works for me between blending dirt, scratches, dings, dents and fading on the long haul. But if I was to lease I could see me venture off the top pics.

I had bigger tires on my leveled laramie. Think 285/45r18(if memory serves. They were rebel rims. Was so close to the control arm I wasn't comfortable with that so I put 1 1/2" wheel spacer and that fixed that issue. I was coming from having 22s on the laramie. I had some rub with those bigger tire(just under 35"l. I fixed the rub by taking a heat gun and heating up the plastic and reshaping it. Hair dryer can work too. Much cleaner look than tie wraps and came out great with some patience and doing g a little at a time. Cold water helps to "freeze" the shape as you pushing plastic out. Use gloves, gets f-in hot

What rims are those look great!

Added some core rear end links yesterday. Wish I didn’t go with the green. Oh well. One issue with them. It you use the factor nut that is attached to the frame using their new bolt it has play. However they do provide a large bolt and nut for the upper mounting location. Have to remove the nut that is tack welded on. For now I used the smaller bolt. Waiting for a cooler day and will tackle that. Since the rear is lifted 2inch I went with the 2inch lifted end links. These are the street series ones. Supper beefy. Almost wonder if they sent me the track series on accident.
