    Projector Headlights

    Only true way to get good output is with a retrofit. My '13 came with factory projectors but the cutoff wasn't there with just hid drop-ins. I opened the housing and put FX-R projectors in it with Morimoto D2S HID bulbs. You get the the width and reach. With the FX-Rs on high beam and the...

    HVAC Squeaking

    Four Seasons 75817 is the model I chose. I think VDC (spelling) had good reviews but I was in the middle of west coast to east coast and back to west coast road trip and only had a couple of days available for one to get to me.

    HVAC Squeaking

    Super easy. I just changed my own a couple weeks ago when mine started making noise too. Bought one at Rockauto. There are a lot of aftermarket ones you can buy. I attached a photo of the one I bought and haven't had any issues so far. Just make sure you buy the correct one. Manual and Auto...

    Strictly the 4x4 lowering thread...

    2013 Ram CC 4x4 Ground Force 9984 AirLift "Durango" Bags Not the cleanest pics. I first installed the AirLift bags that were made for the Ram but they were too tall and bunched up. I used them that way for a road trip from NorCal to Death Valley thinking that the bags might tear/rip but they...

    Kumho Cragen HT51 275/60R20 Tire Initial Review

    Agreed. Tires are not cheap, especially when you are buying rubber for a Ram, Jeep, Cobra, and a sportbike (street and track tires). It adds up quick. I did review the Mastercraft tires. The Mastercraft Courser HTR Plus is the same tire as the Cooper Discoverer HT Plus. I also looked at the...

    Lift or Lower?

    I have a '13 CC 4x4 that is lowered. I used the Ground Force 2/3 drop. It came with 4 springs and 2 shocks for the rear. I also use Air Lift bags for the rear. 13 RAM CC Lowered 1 by spdfrkaby posted Oct 5, 2018 at 2:14 AM 13 RAM CC Lowered 2 by spdfrkaby posted Oct 5, 2018 at 2:14 AM 13 RAM CC...

    Gas cap light and CEL

    Thread Revival Remembered I never came back to this thread to update the gas cap I used. Attached is the one I used and I've been running it for months now with no CEL popups. Again, the only thing that sucks is it isn't tethered. Stant Part 10838 Gas Cap by spdfrkaby posted Oct 5, 2018 at 2:14 AM

    Kumho Cragen HT51 275/60R20 Tire Initial Review

    Hey all, well I spent about five hours researching all sorts of all season non-A/T tires to replace my worn out Cooper Discoverer HT Plus tires. I was looking for reviews in the specific areas of wet and snow handling since we will be moving back to the east coast from northern California in the...

    Totaled my 2016 1500... and walked away

    I concur with Rams being dependable in a crash. I'm in a '13 CC now but I was in a '04 Hemi Sport when some trees decided to get in my way. Speedo locked upon impact at 56mph. Only negative gripe was I felt the airbags should of deployed but they didn't. I had an inspector from Dodge come out to...

    Folding Tonneau Covers 2103 Ram 1500 5'7" box

    I have the Gator Evo Bi-Fold Cover. I've had it for maybe 2.5-3'ish years with no issues. It was cheaper than all other options at the time especially with the sale. I think I picked it up for around $430 at the time. They're based out of Florida and it's Free Shipping...

    Gas cap light and CEL

    Had the same issue with a CEL popping up. Ran the code, don't remember the number but it was for a evap leak. I researched and saw that some aftermarket caps were better than others. I ordered one that had good reviews from I think AutoZone. I'll take a look later to see if I can get the exact...

    Morimoto headlights

    Looks sweet, but that is a fat stack of cash. I did the FX-R retrofit and couldn't be happier with the output (both width and distance). The light step up is a little much though. I've been thinking about opening them back up and trying to see if I can squeeze in some LED Cannons in place of the...

    Best lowering kit for 2016 Ram regular cab 4x4

    Have a '13 Ram CC with the Ground Force 2/3 drop (#9984). Basically the same thing as the #9983 that I believe would be for your standard cab. I haven't any issues with it other than having to get back in the rear to re-tighten the upper shock bolts. I also installed Airlift air bags to help...

    P0520 Oil Pressue Sensor Failure

    UPDATE: Well I finally got around to installing the factory Mopar Oil Pressure Unit. The one I got from the dealership was #05149062AB . I assume this is the updated version to "AA" that is mentioned in the TSB. The BWD branded one that I got from AAP worked off and on. I would sometimes...

    P0520 Oil Pressue Sensor Failure

    I don't remember off the top of my head. I think it was around a 27mm. It worked and had enough depth but I had to be sure to keep it straight 90 degrees when tightening as the plastic plug end barely slid into the socket and any angle would of probably snapped it.

    P0520 Oil Pressue Sensor Failure

    Swapped mine out with a BWD branded sensor a couple weeks ago. I'm still getting the code. Monitoring the oil pressure (dash display), it occasionaly reads low pressure (12-15psi) when first started and only maxes out around 21 psi. Sometime if I turn the truck off and back on it'll jump...

    I retrofitted some Mini H1s in my 04 Ram before some trees decided to get in my way and total it out. I now have FX-Rs retrofitted in the OEM projector housing. The OEM housings definately take a little more work/heat to get them open. I know there are newer/updated versions of the Mini H1...

    Camber issue, 2015

    I have a '13 Crew Cab with the GF and have the same issue. I think the issue is the there is no more adjustment left with the camber bolt. It maxes out just before it gets within specs. Mine is out of spec but just by a little bit. I'll look for my sheet and post it up, maybe it will be helpful.

    Simple 4x4 lowering

    Apologize about the explorer bags mention. Got 'em confused I have the durango bags. They def help with towing. Recently used a moto hitch carrier with a zx6rr (430'ish lbs) aired the bags to 70psi and had no issue. Forgot to air them back down when complete and it was like a log wagon when i...

    Service Vehicke Air Bag Message

    Our 13 Ram CC does this as well. I know the cause but havent gotten around to fixing it. Just an FYI all yellow connectors under the seats are airbag related. My issue is one of the yellow connectors under the passenger seat becomes just loose enough to lose the connection when a hard bump is...
