    Nice color. I didn't know you could still get the classic bodystyle. Looks great.

    Ram letters on front grill (2021 Rebel)

    Finally found some black lugs that stay black. McGard. Not cheap but also they do not fade.

    Well boys, I did it... R.I.P.

    I was faced with the same exact question when the 2013 developed a fatal issue with the cam. I decided to let it go back [7th day] and pick out another Ram instead. When that one gave me problems with the rear axle and then I find out it had a bent frame, I bought a new one. I didn't lose a ton...

    Cam/Lifter job cost

    My neighbor had his exhaust bolts changed out on his 2017 a few months ago and the cost was around $550 or so at our local dealer.

    Driving habits reported to your insurance company?

    Wait til they get the social credit score monitoring going in conjunction with how you drive. Better be a good boy or no trip to the store for you!!

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    I am not up to date on all the percentages. I just figured the problem was exactly what the other post had said, that turning off MDS can be a problem. Never said it was the only cause of failure, just that's what I am thinking caused mine....hope this clears it up.

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    I did this up until my second valve spring broke. Heard it was a good way to avoid the dreaded lifter/cam issue. Found out the hard way it wasn't good after all. I am at 139k right now and have been trouble free since the 56k mark. The drone is non-existent for the most part. There is...

    Should i paint these?

    It took awhile, but I have power tools...:cool:. Seriously though, I broke the damn things off and used a scraper [metal] for the residual glue and plastic. Took me about four hours. The guy charged me $300 to bead blast then powdercoat in gloss black. That was a deal even back in 2019.

    Grill Paint

    Rustoleum make a 2X paint in a rattle can that adheres to plastic very nicely. Skip the dip and paint it, it will last a LOT longer [DAMHIKT]

    Running boards from 1500 fit 2500

    And the frame is different also. Doubt the mounting spots will line up, however, with the flat factory boards like I have they are very adjustable.

    RAM grill decals

    I got mine on Amazon when I deleted the RAM on the door and went to an aftermarket Rebel badge. They have all colors on Amazon and eBay

    Max Care quote for my used 2021 Classic Warlock: No?

    ONLY if the warranty is from Chrysler Warranty Direct/factory. Third party warranties are generally a complete waste of money. My idea was get the 7 year unlimited mileage warranty for $2910 [which I did] so that my truck is covered until it's paid off. With an engine running around $8-12k and a...

    New grill 1 vs 2

    Top one....if you had black wheels and lettering on the rest of the truck the black would look better. If you are attached to the Rebel grille, take the covers off the wheels and have them powqdercoated like I did on my 2016. Then change out the lettering and steps and you're3 all matched in...

    2018 2500 Tradesman on Carli and 37s

    Nice, looks like it got painted as well or is it just the lighting? Nice truck, love the stance.

    Oh they killed the ram box.

    Love mine and wouldn't have a Ram without them. This is either my last truck or I buy used again. This is my only new vehicle in 50 years of owning and driving cars and trucks. Had to do it once!

    Talk me out of a TRX!

    Not gonna talk you out of it, If I had a way to afford one, I'd trade in my Rebel in a heartbeat

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    I thought the same until i compared $$$ & towing before buying the Rebel. The PW was 12k more and towed 2000 less. The extra cash weighed in a little higher than the towing capacity. I wish the Rebel 3/4 ton had been around then....I would have spent the extra cash.

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    And BTW, I am in the same lane as you are. Don't care for the 6 or 4 cylinder trucks at all. I will go back to the used market once all the v-8s are gone. At least until they are outlawed.

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    I doubt the 3/4 tons will eliminate the V-8 anytime soon, did you check those?

    Looking for answers 2018 vs. 2019 Rebel front ends

    2018 was the last year of the bodystyle before this current one.

    Hello and who wants to take a guess?

    I would get the Rebel 2500 and call it good. 6.4 and 16k towing [minus payload of course]. You will miss out on the ridiculous start stop crap [yeah you can turn it off EVERY time you get in the truck, but I wouldn't buy one.
