    what setup should i do to work under my truck?

    With a 6 inch lift you should be able to slide right under there unless you have a huge gut. No offense if that's the case.

    Uconnect upgrade?

    My experience has been different. Admittedly, I haven't replaced the Ram Factory speakers and kept the factory head unit, but I have done it in multiple vehicles before this. Every single time, I was disappointed with the result. Speakers usually don't like to be under underpowered, which is...

    Uconnect upgrade?

    Yeah that has been my general experience with the last five or six vehicles that I've had. Factory HUs are generally very underpowered. Some of the research that I did actually show that some Factory HUs don't even output full range sound, they cut out frequencies that the cheap factory speakers...

    Uconnect upgrade?

    I think you're a little bit confused about the speakers and the head unit. The 5.0 does not put out enough power to damage any speakers that are on the market. I haven't replaced the speakers in either of the two Rams that I've had but in general it's usually not worth it to replace the speakers...

    Uconnect upgrade?

    If you have a touchscreen, it is the 5.0. Non touch screen (with a blue background) is the 3.0. As for how much it puts out - not much. Most (non-premium) factory systems only put out 5-10w rms per channel. As for what stock speakers can handle? Not much either. I haven't looked at these...

    Uconnect upgrade?

    Is it necessary? No, you can use a line out connector to get the signal you need. However, I would recommend that you replace it with something aftermarket if you want high quality sound. I don't know much about the Uconnect 3.0, but I don't think you lose much functionality by replacing it...

    Silverado for ram 2500 6.4 need opinions

    I picked up a '17 1500 crew cab with the 6.4ft box a few weeks ago. Like clh said, they're hard to find but they're out there. I went to the dealership, told them what I wanted and they found one for me at a dealership across the state. They bought it from the other dealer and sent someone to go...

    449 V8 Engine

    I noticed that about all the bikes I've owned. But in this case I think he probably just hit a 9 instead of a 0 on the keyboard.

    Who uses 20v 1/2 inch on lugs?

    I'll second this. I have this impact also and it works well for small jobs and things where you don't need a ton of torque. I wouldn't use it on lugs or anything critical for safety. Probably be better off with the XR high torque model or a corded one.

    Average Install Cost for 5100s?

    This was the video I used when a buddy and I installed them on my '14: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpLJIln6VBA Went pretty smooth except that the nut on top of the strut was a ***** to get off.

    +1 on the Hankook Dynapro's. Put them on last November and had no issues with snow.

    Dammit. Wish I wasn't in the process of buying a house right now or I'd be all over this.

    RA2 to aftermarket HU

    I would actually look into the iDatalink Maestro instead of using the Axxess XSVI-6523-NAV. From the research I've done, it looks like it will let you retain all stock functions including steering wheel controls (which are a pain in the ass to program using anything made by Metra) and will be...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Installed Bilsteins at 2.1" and Mevotech UCA's. The center nut on the passenger side strut mount was rusted all to hell and didn't want to come off. Had to split it with an air hammer. That was fun.

    Towing 6,200 lb travel trailer with 3.6 V6 Pentastar?

    Don't need to apologize since it's your second language. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it if you weren't being a dick to this guy.

    Towing 6,200 lb travel trailer with 3.6 V6 Pentastar?

    1. Grammar and formatting, ffs. 2. You're kind of a dick constantly telling this guy who you've never met that he hasn't towed anything and doesn't know what he's doing. And finally.... 3. You're probably right that he would be better served buying a 1 or 2 year old low mileage Hemi

    Ideas on how to remove plast dip or body?

    Swapped in a painted grill on my Big Horn

    Looks great. Did you buy the grill locally or online? Or did you actually paint it yourself? Been debating doing the same thing with my big horn.

    Moog Vs Timken

    I'd say Timken. But I might be slightly biased since that's who I work for.
