    Alexa Echo Auto, Gen 2

    So, after being envious of my wife’s Apple CarPlay in her Grand Cherokee. I opted for the next best thing I came across, Alexa Echo Auto. I have it linked to my ring system, xm radio, Waze, and various other apps. It simply works like any other Alexa enabled device. Tell it where to go, what to...

    So I upgraded to LED / HID all around the truck, and I didn’t realize the cool effect it would have on my RAM skull emblem. :head3:

    Underground Lighting HID’s

    Got my Underground Lighting HID kit yesterday in 6000k. They made a huge difference! The install was straight forward. Initially the lights didn’t come on. But I had read somewhere to flip one of the connections. I did and they fired right up. The only thing that left me a little concerned was...

    How much brake fluid?

    I will be replacing my rear brakes soon and figured I should flush my fluid too. I've always had the dealer do it, but not this time. I've watched several how-to vids and ordered this power bleeder. My only question at the moment is, how much brake fluid do I need to flush all four calipers?

    Creaks, Squeaks, Pops, resolved first try

    Disclaimer: I got lucky! In the last year I’ve noticed all of the aforementioned getting worse. I searched the forums for ideas. One post pointed to sidesteps. When I left work I grabbed a sidestep, pulled and pushed up and down, and sure enough it squealed like a pig.. I tightened all corners...

    Red Line front dif oil?

    So I’ve ordered my TC oil. Now I’m ordering Red Line with friction modifier for my rear dif, but my front dif does not require the friction modifier. My question is, does it matter if I buy oil with friction modifier for my front? Amazon is not giving me an option for Red Line 75w85 without...

    Ford F-250

    What a dog.. So, the dealership gave me a rental while they replace my master cylinder. All they asked me was silver or white? I said white and they pulled up with a 2019 F-250 double cab super duty with 3500 miles. I would have thought it had more nuts when I punched the gas... I havn't looked...

    Any bad experiences with Pedal Commander?

    I was in for warranty work and noticed my service department selling pedal commander. Granted they want your first born for it. I can find it 25% cheaper on amazon. I also noticed lots of people getting rid of theirs in my area for all sorts of different vehicles on Facebook marketplace. Figured...

    Mopar rubber mud flaps

    Got them on. I have wheel to wheel steps, so molded flaps were a no go. I’m actually digging these more than molded now that I see them on. They give off that old school vibe. I removed the plastic corners for a cleaner install.

    Maxcare and Bils set at 2.8

    Has anyone actually had claim issues with Maxcare and Bilsteins set at 2.8? I’m aware of the small print / max limit 2.0. Opinions are apreciated but I’m primarily asking those who have actually had any issues with this setup and Maxcare claims. I’m not in the middle of nor am I...

    K&N drop in air filter and my MPG's

    I dropped a K&N air filter. I felt very slight improvement in the way of response and HP. Of course it could just be a placebo affect... lol. Anyways, my average MPG dropped by 1 within a day. I was a little concerned by this. Most other people claim to gain 1-3 mpg. A couple of days passed and...

    Weekend detail

    I’ve been running my truck through the car wash all winter. The resulting swirls on my clear coat really started bugging me. So with the current break in weather I got to work on it. I pulled out the compound and spent the afternoon polishing on Friday, waited till the temp got above freezing...

    Wanted Amp Power Step until..

    In my slow upgrade grind I was thinking my next mod would be Amp Power Steps. Not only are they sexy when they open and close, but my main reason to add them was to show more ground clearance with my modest 2.8”/1.5” lift. So today I was parked in a lot, sitting in my truck, waiting on my wife...

    Waiting on Christmas..

    So I’ve been meaning to install a rear hellwig sway bar for a while. Then Christmas comes around and the wife asks what I’d like to get. I told her about the sway bar and today it was sitting on our doorstep when I got home early from work. She’s at work at the moment, but to help keep the...

    HEMI tick

    Yeah, I've had the light tick on startup for about 5k miles now. I've read and responded to a couple of similar posts on here. It started the day after my last oil change at 35k miles. I'm about to hit 40k. The tick lasts a few minutes till the truck warms up. On closer inspection, it seems to...

    Annoyed..

    So bilsteins went in fine. Took it to the dealer to get aligned. $139 later and it was worse than when I brought it in. I took it back the next day. They said something must have come loose because it was off again, plus the steering wheel was leaning to the right. They realigned it again at no...

    Blacked out

    https://www.lustinedodgejeep.net/new/Ram/2019-Ram-1500-Woodbridge-681e19650a0e0ae7688a2609aefe4ab7.htm Focusing solely on exterior, the blacked out version helps hide what I dislike about the front end. I’d like to see a blacked out version with the Tesla screen and panoramic sunroof. I also...

    2019 Laramie

    Just saw this at my dealer while getting my alignment done. Appearance isn’t terrible in person. I’m still not a fan of the front end. The wow factor is still not there. I can say that touch screen is gigantic! This one has the bench seat. I’m still waiting to see one with a panoramic sunroof...
