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

    Got the first oil change out of the way. After 2000 km's I wanted to ditch the OEM oil and filter. I went full synthetic with Pennzoil Platinum and Pennzoil HPZ filter. No lifter tick whatsoever. On a rather odd note, the tech had to top up the coolant. He said that all of the new Rams that he...

    '14 Ram Thoughts after a week of ownership

    That sums up my impression of the Hemi-8 speed combination as well. However, with MDS turned off the truck is much more responsive and fun to drive.

    Cleaner for Spray-In Bedliner

    Spray Nine is not soap. It is a heavy duty cleaner. But whatever.....troll away if it makes your day.

    Cleaner for Spray-In Bedliner

    Sorry for the delay in updating. I got my liner completely clean and it looks great. Here's what worked. I sprayed the liner with Spray Nine (biodegradable), let it soak briefly, scrubbed with a soft-bristled tire brush, rinsed it clean with my pressure washer and let it air dry.

    Galadaeros - 2017 Copperhead Sport

    Well, I finally completed debadging my truck. I removed the "4x4" from the tailgate, the "RAM 1500" from the front doors and the "HEMI 5.7L" from the front fenders. I used fishing line to remove the badges and an eraser wheel to remove the 3M tape residue. It was pretty straight forward although...

    Thinking about switching to Dodge from FORD

    I too left behind a 2015 F-150 for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the attitude of my local "dis-service" department. I picked up a 2017 Copperhead Sport and could not be happier. I got SO much more truck for the money. An equally equipped Ford would have fetched a much higher...

    Detailing: How to Debadge/Favorite Method

    Used an eraser wheel for the first time today. That is not for the faint of heart. Lol. Twice some stubborn adhesive had me thinking I had f**ked up my clear coat. After a few deep breaths I hit it again with the eraser and it disappeared. I finished up with Goo Gone Auto, wash, Meguiars...

    Galadaeros - 2017 Copperhead Sport

    Had a productive afternoon. I got my Wadestar RM10 blind spot mirrors put on. Then I gave the interior a quick detail and put in my new Husky X-Act Contour Floor Liners. They look great and provide awesome coverage. There was only one downside to the day. I removed...

    Custom Blind Spot Mirror

    Received my RM10's yesterday and installed them this afternoon. They are solid quality and look great too. Thanks again Wade!

    Cleaner for Spray-In Bedliner

    Thanks for all of your responses. I am still assessing what I am going to do. The dealer is an hour away and I'm not sure I want to make the drive out there and put the truck back in their clearly incompetent hands. I'll let you know what becomes of this mess.

    Cleaner for Spray-In Bedliner

    Cleaner for Spray-In Bedliner - UPDATED When I picked up my truck, I had the dealership install my Bakflip G2 tonneau cover. I am not sure what the hell the installers had on their boots when they did the install but my spray-in bedliner is now a mess. I hit this with Armor All Car Wash...

    Galadaeros - 2017 Copperhead Sport

    Got the first "mods" complete (if you can call them that). Replaced the stock antenna with this stubby from AMI Styling. It is 3", billet, black powder-coat. I live in a fairly urban area so I have not noticed any issues with reception at this point. Then, I finally removed the dealer...

    RAM Alarm ?

    I finally got mine to arm. Since the remote start and alarm are the same code on my build list, I knew if one worked the other should as well. I started my truck remotely and turned it off with the fob. Then I hit "lock" on the fob and watched the cluster. I finally noticed a very small red...

    RAM Alarm ?

    You're not alone with your alarm issue, Rado. My 2017 Sport apparently has the alarm as well (according to the build sheet) but it does not arm when I lock the truck. I am thinking that someone failed to run the sales code somewhere prior to delivery. I am hoping a local dealership will...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Buckled window trim on driver's side (front). What a piss off.

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

    Can I ask how you prepped the tips? I'm considering pulling my stock tips to paint them but I'm not sure what is involved.

    First mod will be an easy one. I've gotta get rid of that dealership badging. :hmm:

    "Test driving" a new 1500

    I'm with Demon-HeMi on this... takes some getting used to but I love the 8-speed and all the free space in the console.
