    Leveling kit or new struts?

    On my old 2016 I did a 2.5" Rough Country leveling kit. It was just the spacers, nothing else. Went 50k miles with zero issues before I traded it in for my 2021 Rebel. I know there's plenty of folks who say the leveling spacers are bad for the truck, but I had friends who did the same on their...

    Rebel finally showing Equipment Listing

    Still mind blowing how long yall are waiting for your trucks right now. What a mess this industry is right now with the shortages. I bought my new 2021 right before this all started in October of last year. Glad I pulled the trigger when I did.

    4th or 5th gen Rebel. Help me decide

    All depends what you value most personally. I definitely prefer the exterior styling of the 4th gen Ram's, but the 5th gens are just so damn nice inside. I have a '21 Rebel and for me the interior quality outweighs not loving the exterior quite as much as the 4th gen. If you go with a 4th, I...

    BED LINER FOR RAM BOX 5.7

    Best to just go with a spray in Line-X. Around $400, lifetime warranty, premium quality with even the basic Line-X. No need to pay for the "nicer" sprays, just get the basic and you're set for life.

    2021 Rebel Level

    Hey yall - I know this is discussed regularly, but I'm getting interesting responses from shops when asking about installing a level on my 2021 Rebel. Seems all over the map and most of them insanely expensive for even their cheapest options. I had been looking at the Ready Lift kit for around...

    question about when new models come out

    I certainly wouldn't bank on anything too exciting in terms of changes from '21 to '22 other than the new Rebel GT which all the specs are already released on. You'll just be waiting longer if you cancel and reorder now. If it were me I'd stick with what you have ordered rather than delaying who...

    Leveling Kit

    As Robocop said, plenty of threads and different opinions and options for leveling your Ram. A lot of guys like Bilsteins and act like installing a spacer kit will destroy everything in your front end. Others (like myself) bout a spacer leveling kit for less than $100 and have never had a single...

    Owner's Manual

    Weird... my 2016 came with both the CD and a nice paperback manual packaged in a leather case. Feel like this could be a dealer issue. They should have them and supply them. It was given to me when I was signing the papers, not just sitting in the glove box already.

    32 gallon fuel tank

    This is the exactly the point I try to make on these threads all the time lol I really don't understand why everyone complains about this so much. Having a 6 gallon reserve when your gas light comes on is silly if you drive a Honda Civic and get 35 mpg. But when you're driving a truck and...

    32 gallon fuel tank

    I still don't understand the big deal about this... you WANT to have reserve in your tank when the gas light comes on. I have a 32 gallon tank and when my light comes on it will take 26 gallons. That means 6 gallons of reserve which when you're only getting 16 mpg on average is not really that...

    New here.

    Spray in bed liner is a must in my opinion. Tonneau as well especially if you live in a rainy/snowy area which it sounds like you do - I have the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 and love it. Tint your front windows to match the rear. Truck instantly looks way nicer. Add a level especially in your...

    34s without a level?

    I wouldn't run that big without a level. Just my 2 cents.

    To Level or Lift

    All personal preference. My truck is leveled 2" and currently sits half an inch higher in the back. I think it is perfect. I am still on the stock Goodyear SRA's though and plan to go with bigger tires once they need replacing in the next year or two.

    4x4 on icy mountain roads - traction control on or off?

    I drive icy/snowy mountain roads regularly in the winter and always leave traction control on. It exists for a reason is pretty much my only thought on it. Never even considered turning it off. As for chains, I have never used them on my truck so can't speak to that. But I'd say just get a good...

    How's your ride quality?

    My 2016 Hemi 5.7 is on a 2" spacer leveling kit, nothing in the back. Ride feels exact same as stock.

    Another day at the dealer... another day of my time wasted

    I have never had issues with my service department, so I'd say just find a new dealer. Also, as others have said, the surveys are a very big deal for them. People can literally lose their jobs and/or their commission over bad surveys. If you get a call from the service manager definitely take...

    2014 express questions

    I follow the owner's manual and factory recommendations to a T when it comes to maintenance and service. Have always done it that way with every vehicle I've owned and it has never failed me.

    For those with 32 gallon tanks

    Nice that they will be releasing an update for this, but I still find it funny that people get so worked up about it. It really isn't a big deal... I just drive mine until the "miles to empty" reads less than 20 and then fill up and it takes 28 gallons which means I have 4 more in reserve. Why...

    How is the shifter solenoid noise normal?

    Gotcha. Yes, that is how mine sounds but I can only hear it if I have no music going and am really listening for it. Has done it since day one off the lot. I wouldn't worry about it.

    4wd engage just because?

    4auto when it rains is fine, but I wouldn't recommend 4lock just for rain. Could cause more harm than good. Ultimately though, no, you do not need to engage 4x4 every so often "just because" if you have a newer truck. Older ones, absolutely. But with newer vehicles it just isn't necessary...

    Anyone actually use Maxcare?

    It sounds like you are debating whether or not you should get the warranty... if you are in any way conflicted internally about it, I say just get it. You'll sleep better at night. Personally, I never buy extended warranties on any vehicle and it has never once bitten me in the butt. So I have...

    How is the shifter solenoid noise normal?

    In my 2016 I can hear the solenoid move every time since day 1 when I bought the truck new. It doesn't make a "rattling" sound though... that seems weird.

    Steering Feel/Feedback

    Weird... no idea what might fix this but that does not sound normal. What year is your truck? My 2016 does not feel like that at all.

    NEED ADVICE... to trade in or not to trade in that is the question

    As others have suggested, keeping your current truck will be the better financial decision. Not saying go all in and buy the lifetime warranty and drive it til it dies... but at least keeping it until you will get positive equity on a deal. Even though KBB/Edmunds is telling the truck is...

    12.5's and a car wash...

    A lot of newer car washes don't have the old rails/track, it is more of a conveyor belt that you just drive onto and put in neutral and it moves you along. Tire size, offset, etc. would not be a concern. I'd just try to find a car wash like that in your area. There is one right near my house and...
