    2017 RAM BH, blown engine at 27K miles

    Well....it happened to me. I'll begin with stating that I've never been pleased with the performance of my 2017. I have a feeling its because of the EPA tune that came force fed on mine, but the thing has always been a dog and musters a pathetic 19, maybe 20 mpg at best. I have never seen the...

    '17 BH 1500, grille insert change finished (pics).

    I know this is nothing new, but I know I like looking up pictures of people's trucks for ideas on what to/not to put on on the truck. I was never a fan of the grille inserts on my Big Horn package, so I swapped them out to the Laramie Limited mesh...added some Putco side view mirror chrome...

    Swap to silver steering wheel bezel?

    Anyone else done this swap? For some reason, all the silver trim not matching the steering wheel bezel. After doing some searching, I came up with the following PN: 5NN22GFAAA https://www.rampartsinc.com/p/Ram__/BEZEL-Steering-Wheel-Switch/61603790/5NN22GFAAA.html That seems to be the one...

    Polish/clean factory plastic-chrome wheel covers?

    So I searched on this one, but couldn't find an answer. My factory wheels have some small stuck on rust deposits so I decided to clean them up. Here's what I landed up getting...

    '17 ED CEL: "Cold start exhaust temp too low"?

    I go to head out this morning and within 5min of driving, I have this CEL pop up. Truck is running fine, just have the CEL. Outside temp this morning was 29F...so not really all that cold (It was definitely warmer than a few temps we've hit here lately, I've never seen this before and I've ran...

    Rust spots all over my ‘17 chrome bumper.

    *EDIT* Pic added below. Looks like she’s going back to the mothership for repairs. I got one of the new holdover ‘17 EDs 1500’s last month, it’s the Big Horn package so it has the metal chrome bumpers. I was washing her down yesterday and immediately noticed a dime sized spot of rust just...

    1500 suspension changes between '14 and '17?

    I cannot put my finger on it, but my '17 rides and handles much different from my '14. I had a 4x4 Express quad cab. The stock tires rode ok, but when I put my Toyo Open country LT rated tires on it, it rode like a "truck" after that. With much larger tires, and a 10 ply sidewall, it came as no...

    Traded '14 5.7 on '17 EcoDiesel

    So...long story short, my local dealership landed 15 2017 1500 crew cab ecodiesel trucks in the Big Horn package. Right off the bat, they had a sticker of $52,xxx and they were all marked to $37,xxx. My former truck was a 2014 Express with the black package (bought Feb of 2104), here's a short...

    '14 1500 leaking water into the cab from underneath...

    Yeah...so...this hasn't been a good summer for many of us in the Midwest. For us here in Central Illinois, it has been pouring rain on us for about 6 straight weeks now. We're sitting at over 12" for the month of June alone. Either way, at this point, the ground is saturated, the sewers have...

    '14 UConn 5.0, audio input audio quality issues? Help.

    I'm trying to find out if I am experiencing limitations of the system, or if my system has issues. Using an iPhone 5s...which is a clean source for audio elsewhere I've found: Bluetooth- Audio sounds incredibly compressed..."tinny" highs make most of the audio sound like crap. USB-...

    freaking seat springs creaking on cloth seats!!!

    Aaaargg...this is driving me crazy. I have a '14 1500 with the cloth seats. Bought new in Feb of '14 and I am just over 8K miles...so I obviously don't drive much. I'm also 6' tall, 175 so not to be rude...but I'm not a heavy guy either. Long story short, about 3 months ago I noticed the...

    Toyo OC ATII 275/65/20 installed, pics

    So…the tires went on Thursday. I bounced back and forth between the 285/55 and 275/65 but in the end, went with the lighter, cheaper and taller 275/65. I wish that size was available in the "extreme" pattern..but oh well. Either way, they went on well and loo great. I got a good amount of...

    OK…last call. Toyo OC ATII 275/60 or 285/55 HELP!

    HELP!!!! I'm going to order my replacement tires next week and I am seriously stuck here. Decided hardcore on the Open Country ATII…been reading about the New Open Country R/T but they only come in 33x12.5 and 35x12.5 for the stock 20" wheel. I'm running stock suspension, no lift, no...

    2014 5.7L running straight gas a bad idea?

    So I have been running 87 since getting the truck back in Feb. I read you're better off running 89 so I thought that on this fill up, I'd do that. So...I accidentally put 91 in but it's straight gas, not an ethanol blend (Phillips 66). Now...this was a good thing because when I had my 2008...

    100% boiled down…BFG KO or TOYO AT II?

    Well…I was dead set on the Toyo AT II in 275/65/20…had an OTD price of $1375 from a local dealer. Then I found these: Amazon.com: BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO Competition Tire - 275/65R20 126R E1: Automotive $1180 to my door (free Amazon prime shipping too). Even if I had to drop $100...

    One last tire question...275/65 or 285/55?

    Ok...so I'm decided on the Toyo Open Country A/T II tires... But I have one more question. Stockers are 275/60 so 33" dia and 11" wide (or so the specs say) The Toyo in 275/65 maintains the same width, but is 34.1" in dia...so 1" taller. The 285/55 is 32.4" in dia but 11.7" wide. The...

    275/65/20 on stock 2014 1500 suspension?

    I looked through the tire FAQ and couldn't find anything on the 20" wheels. I'd like to run a 275/65/20 rather than the stock 275/60/20. The stock tires show a diameter of 33" overall (with a 9.4" tread width). a 275/65 shows a overall diameter of 34.1" (often depending on brand but a 9"...

    New tires…BFG, Toyo, Cooper…or DC?

    Ok…first time Ram owner…and first time owner of a full size 4x4 truck (last time I had a truck it was 2002 and it was a 2WD '99 ranger LOL). Either way, as so many of you painfully know, our stock tires are not great so I'm looking to put new tires on my Ram…which is: 2014 Ram 1500 "black"...
