    DRL’s

    So I upgraded my lights to the models below, installed my trusty Fahren LED bulbs in them. No issues. Fit, finish are great. Used my AlfaOBD, switched everything, enabled DRL’s…. The DRL’s are supposed to be clear, white, but mine are amber. My turn signals illuminate amber, but do not...

    5.7 Alternator

    Anyone know the amperage on the factory alternator? I can’t remember if they had a standard and a high output option…mine would be the standard. 2017. I am looking into getting a more powerful one for some added accessories I may be installing. Any recommendations? Thanks.

    AlfaOBD Remote Start oddity

    Evening. So my ‘17 was wired from latch to under the TIPM. I added the sensor to my hood latch and then connected pin 5 under TIPM to pin #11 on C1 on the BCM. Pin #6 under the TIPM went to a body ground. Did the AlfaOBD programming and resets, resistor set to 500/500, added new overlays on...

    For Sale: This is a used set of Kooks Torque Series shorty headers for Gen4/Classic 5.7 Hemi Ram 1500. (May work for other Gen’s, but I wouldn’t need to know that.) I purchased these secondhand about a month ago. I changed my mind and I am going with long tubes instead. They are in very good...

    Active Grille Shutters

    Today I uninstalled the whole assembly for the AGS system. Hemifever coded it out for me so I could delete it. No issues there, not throwing codes. I was watching my temps on a 20min 75mph trip today and my temps were bouncing between my normal 195-203, but it was fairly rapid, which I have...

    The HP game

    Next week I will be upgrading. Up to this point, I have done my work on suspension, brakes, interior and basic bolt ons. The only thing I didnt do myself was weld up my Magnaflow and custom dual exhaust. In addition to the MF exhaust, I have run a Vararam for years. Now I am adding a Diablosport...

    Exhaust Exits/Routing

    Just looking to see some examples other than the typical dual bumper cutout routing. I have an SLT bumper w/o cutouts. When I did the Zone 1.5” body lift, it obviously exposed more of my exhaust and chrome. I purchased a pair of barely used 5” black Corsa tips for a steal locally off of a guy...

    Rear Bumper Question

    Does anyone know offhand if a rear bumper off of a 2500 will fit a 1500? 4th gens. The rear bumper I came across is a chrome one with the dual exhaust cutouts off of a hemi-powered 2500. My 1500 is a SLT w/o cutouts. My goal is to get a bumper with the cutouts and reconfigure my duals like...

    Pistol storage/access ideas

    Looking for ideas for a storage/vault solution for a pistol. Needs to be somewhat secure, but definitely stealthy. First off, I am a CHP licensee for 20+ years and in VA, I can ride with any firearm or multiple firearms concealed on my person or anywhere in my vehicle. ( If you dont have a CHP...

    Zone 1.5” + Vararam

    Initially I was going to 6” Zone, but I am pretty set on just adding the body lift to the existing 2.1 Bilsteins and the 1.5” spacers in the rear to get me where I want to be. (Plus the wife might not notice another 1.5” lol). My question is has anyone done this with a Vararam? In theory it...

    Zone UCA install

    So I noticed a torn upper balljoint boot a few weeks ago. Decided instead of oem uca’s I ordered a set of Zone UCA’s. Started the install today, easy work until I went to bolt on the wheel. The UCA projects out toward the tire more than the oem and was making contact with my sidewall...

    Engine bay detailing

    Just curious to see what most people use to clean/degrease your engine bays. Any cleaners work especially well in your experience. Not looking for show car quality, just ease of maintenance by keeping it relatively clean.

    Powered Subwoofer Install

    I upgraded my audio system over the past 2 weeks. Replaced all speakers with Kicker CS series. Yes, soldered in a 4ohm resistor for 3.5” dash speakers to bring it close to the oem 8ohm speaker. Sounded vastly better than stock. So I went a step further and installed a Rockville 10” powered sub...

    DIY Bedliner Opinions/Experience

    I just received my quote from Line-X...all I can say is they must not do random drug testing at their facility. Basically $600 for basic and another $200 for their “Premium”. Oh, but if I do it in next 30 days I get a$100 off of the Premium upgrade. This is also with me having to remove my...

    Asking for your 2Cents!

    I snagged a set of rear coil spacers off of a guy who just went from a level lift to a full 6” suspension lift on his Ram. In a spur of the moment decision I installed them on my truck yesterday. My questions: 1. About how much actual height will I gain if I redo my Bils from 2.1 to 2.8? 2. In...
