    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    The EPA just tested the HO I6 and it gets worse mileage than the 5.7. Wow look at progress go.

    OK. Thank you

    2014 5.7 6spd to 6.4 8spd swap.

    The 2014 Ram's had a ZF8 speed but if you are pulling it all from a car I am not sure. I was thinking that it was 2015 that they added the 8 speed to the Hemi's in the cars.

    1999 Dakota Help getting it working

    Well, not much help here I guess. I do have some new info if anybody cares. I took the battery out to charge it. When I put it back in the factory security went off. I took it around the block and the gauges went nuts. would go dead then peg out to the point it broke the speedo cable. But...

    305/45/22

    They should. I have a single cab R/T with a 2/4 drop stock 22's and I am running the same size tires. If you crank the wheel all the way it does touch the front sway bar though. but you have to crank it hard to make it do that

    Lowering truck advice on tire size

    I have Viper reps in that size with the same tire size on a 2/4 drop on my 2014 R/T SC

    Unsure about keeping my RAM

    I would get a programmer so you can raise the idle. That way the oil pressure will be high enough if you are going to idle for a while.

    1999 Dakota Help getting it working

    I bought my kid a Dakota and I got burned. I bought it from up north and talked to the guy several times and he told me it was a street truck they took to the track a couple times. Told me it was great driving on the street and had a forged crank and a good cam. That was it. It got here and...

    All Repair Parts @ Employee Cost!

    I have a 2014 Ram R/T regular cab. Do you have the driver side window switch? I have an aftermarket one and it sucks. and it is orange. LOL I wasn't able to find the correct one.

    Aftermarket Taillights

    You have to use Alpha OBD and set them to LED's so the truck knows. You can get a wireless adapter and download the app. There is a huge thread for it on here but it should have the settings you need on the first page.

    2024 RAM Limited

    I really like the look of the seats. It lightens up the cabin.

    "The" Hemi tick explained

    That makes sense that they are run harder. I know I drive mine harder than I do my truck. But I do tend to run the truck hard too sometimes. LOL

    "The" Hemi tick explained

    I've never heard of the Hellcat engines eating themselves. They have had supercharger problems in the first few years though.

    2/4 drop Best shocks

    I have a 2014 RT with a 2/4 drop on it and I am running 305/45/22 and there is no reason for them to bottom out or rub when you hit a bump or dip. They will touch the sway bar at full lock a little bit though.

    Folding Mirror Does Not Fold

    Following. Both of mine quit working. The drivers side went a while ago and now the passenger side. It's annoying.

    Radar mount options for 2013 RAM?

    I have the blend mount on my 2014 with my Escort Max 360

    Power Folding mirror problem

    I have a 2014 R/T and have been having problems wtih the power folding mirrors. The drivers side would work sometimes and sometimes it wouldn't move but you could hear the gears trying. It doesn't work at all now and I am guessing that the gears are stripped. The passenger side has just...

    LED to halogen on Sport edition?

    That just doesn't make sense. Going from a much more efficient and usually brighter to old school tech. Kind of strange. Good luck though.

    Poor mpg on 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn V8 Hemi with Etorque 4 x 4.

    I always find it funny how everyone says don't take off fast. Well, I have watched my instant mileage and even keep it under 2k while accelerating it is in the single digits. I figured I might as well take off a little faster and have some fun for pretty much the same mileage. LOL

    DRL

    I used Alpha ODB to turn on my parking lights for DRL when I had the factory projectors. I now have the AlphaRex headlights with DRL's and sequential turn signals. Love these things

    Ram 1500 Brake pads

    I put on R1 Concept Geomet rotors with ceramic pads. My truck can stop way shorter than it used to. The second best thing is they never rust. Now I don't go through salt but just sitting there between drives they don't get that surface rust. These will stop your truck way better than your...

    Traded the Panamera for a BigHorn 2500 today..now i need a muffler that sounds the same

    There are a lot of choices for a good muffler to make it sound more like a truck. The stock muffler is too quiet. Hard to go wrong with a Flowmaster 40 series. There are a lot of other options but I've always liked that one on my truck.

    Ceramic or Not & Tonnau Covers

    Ceramic coating is worth it if they do a good job with the paint correction first. It will make it easier for you to keep it clean but will not protect it from rocks. If you are always on rock roads and what not you should look into Pain Protection Film for the lower part of your truck and...

    SRT8

    I've had three SRT's(a '15 392, '17 HC and the current '20 HCWB) I laugh every time I see someone with these on thinking it makes them look cool. As stated above they do say remove. Even the guy that designed them turned them pink so the water heads would take them off. If you don't go flying...

    Impressed with how good 4th gen trucks still look

    I've only had my '14 since '18 but I love the truck. It took me a while to find one for sale that was the Blue Streak blue.
