Retractable Alum Tonneaus - RetraxPro vs Truck Covers USA
Sorry for the necro post.....just wondered if there was an update on this from OP? I'm looking at the retrax for my '14 with Ramboxes and I was wondering if it worked out for you? Thanks. -

Rebel or Raptor?
With regards to your Bluetooth skipping: My 2014 Sport has the same issue. I assume eventually they will fix it with an update. I believe it has to do with the way the Bluetooth connects to multiple devices. It happens to me when I'm trying to use my Ipod, but also have my phone in the truck...- nick84

How does AUTO 4WD work/what does it do?
I'll add my .02 to the list of disappointed Ram 4x4 owners as well. Like most people, the biggest thing that aggravates me is the misleading way it's labelled. Being honest with myself, I'm on rutted single track once or twice a month tops, when I go out to my spot in the woods to shoot or...- nick84

Which package is a good platform to build on
Agree. Now if I'd only known that when I bought it. As for going up to the big brother....possible but pricey. I would be curious to know if anyone has actually built a rig on the 44-44, and what they consider the limitations to be based on seeing how far it can be pushed. -
Which package is a good platform to build on
I'm glad I was browsing the forums today...I kind of wanted to ask a similar question, so here's my .02: I have a '14 Sport CCSB. When I bought it it had all the goodies I wanted and none I didn't. I didn't want the air suspension, but heated and cooled leather seats are nice. Unfortunately... -
2014 Ram 1500 axle swap
Necropost! I also have a '14 with 3.21s and I'd be interested in having a swap to the factory 3.92s. I have a lifetime warranty, so I probably won't be going aftermarket. OP, did you ever end up doing the swap? And about how much did it cost you? If you don't mind me asking.- nick84

5w30
Just changed my oil last week. Been using Royal Purple 5w30 and RP filter, and I got 9800 miles give or take before the engine oil change sensor went off. When I drained it it was pretty black, but I've seen worse. I do drive a lot of highway. Probably 80/20 highway. I might try Redline, but...- nick84

Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!
I really like this look. I'm looking for a enough lift to improve clearance and ride, but not so much. I drive too much freeway for that. -
New tire take off replacement: DuraTrac vs BFG KO2 in stock 20"
Sorry for the old thread bump, but I didn't see the need to start a new one. I've got the '14 1500 with 20" wheels, and the stock Sr-As on them. 61K miles ! They've been literally across the country, from Northern Ohio to Georgia and all the way the So Cal and back. I drive pretty almost... -

Question from the peanut gallery here: If you had scratches requiring touch up paint, where in the process is best to put it on? After claybar? -
Tractor Trailer blowout: not a great start to a new year
I assumed it was a retread, but you're right. Unfortunately it was dark and snowy on the truck, didn't get the plates or anything. Prob just gonna have to eat this one myself. -
Tractor Trailer blowout: not a great start to a new year
Interesting Tenn.guy Thanks everyone for your thoughts.....I'm a ky resident and already do for a windshield....I may get a quote from a friendly body shop to just knock it all out....I'll see what becomes of the park sensor. -
Tractor Trailer blowout: not a great start to a new year
So yesterday, there I am minding my own damn business when a semi in the middle lane blows out a tire right in front of me, making my choices: Left side wall, right side trailer, or hard brake in freeway traffic. :( First question: I've never been/ or seen a blowout tire actually hit... -
Anti-Spin label on axle anywhere?
Mine has a label on the underside of the rear axle. Haven't looked at it in a while, but if memory serves it says somewhere on it "AA" and 321. Lol, not too helpful I know, but an axle isn't enormous. You'll see it. Congrats on your new ride!- nick84

Buying a 2014 sport ccsb questions
Congrats. You will love it! :rockit: Mine has seen snow this winter (2014) and the 4WD auto seems to be working great, as I have barely noticed it engaging. Beware other traffic that may hurt your brand new baby.- nick84

is stealership ripping me off?
I live in KY, but bought mine in OH. About two weeks after purchase I got an envelope from the dealer containing a check already made out to the county I live in. A couple weeks after that (about 25 days total) I got the title in the mail from Chrysler with the first lienholder identified on it...- nick84

Mpg...
That's definitely impressive. Is that from your calculations, or the truck's display? I've got no reason to think that its inaccurate, I'm just curious if anyone has noticed any discrepancy? Best I've been doing is 19.5 to 20 on mostly freeway, 55-65, with the 8spd and 3.21s. Still on my...- nick84

4x4 Suspension
^^^ correct. I think a lot of guys forget the real difference between the 6 and 8spd is in first gear not 6th or 8th. IIRC, the final ratio is the same or close in both. So even with 3.21s or 3.55s, the 8spd offers a great low range ratio.- nick84

4x4 Suspension
If memory serves me correctly, the Z71 package was also the only package available with a 3.73 rear end, as opposed to the 3.42 that was standard on other GM models. I always thought that that, shocks, differential, and skidplates were the only difference. So with the new Ram 4x4, if you have...- nick84

Gear Swap 4.11:1 or 3.92:1 ?
Just curious OP, I'm also considering swapping from the 3.21s, do you have a particular make/model you're thinking of getting? Or just OEM? Any ideas on cost?- nick84

2013 Sport Rear End
I just picked up the 14 Sport with 3.21s and 8spd. Don't worry about it being a slouch....and seems to tow just fine with about 3500 lbs. I hardly noticed. I'd like to do slight lift and 35s down the road too, I don't foresee it being a problem, but I don't always drive with a lead foot...- nick84

Killed the Silver
Any chance of an exact write up on how you did it? or some pics? I have driven mine a little over a thousand miles and I'm already thinking about getting rid of that shiny trim. It doesn't look too complicated, but I'd hate to break something....you know how it is. Anyways, my truck is black... -
