    Bed Topper for Rambox

    The topper isn’t secured in the stake holes but bolted to the truck body itself. I installed a slide in the bed too so I never have to crawl in the bed again.

    Bed Topper for Rambox

    I looked for yrs to find a camper shell/bed topper that would work with my Rambox truck. I finally asked a local outfit to make me one and they have. Its great. All functions of the Rambox work and I can reach into the bed from anywhere. THe side panel and the rear window lock giving the...

Im super happy w/ the MPG I get. just returned from a 11,000 + mile trip from AK to AZ and back. I check every fill up manually. The highway tanks are closer...

    Softtopper

    I'm still looking for a hard bed cover (not tonneau) that might fit a Ram-box 6.4 bed. I love the Ramboxes and don't want to lose them, but I wish I had a rear cover the same height as the truck cab.

    Factory tire pressure recommendations

    thnx for the info guys. I guess tire pressure is like favorite beer. I'm gona' go w/ 70 front, 75 rear and see what I lose tonight ; temps should go down to zero. In two days I should be in 10-20 below temps. I know I'm expecting "square" rubber in the mornings, and I just don't want too much...

    Factory tire pressure recommendations

    2016 2500, 6.4L. LT 275/70/R18 . I know the door jam sticker says 60 psi front, 80 psi rear. But why ? Isn't the engine heavier over the front most of the time. (not loaded, not towing) If the back end is loaded down it seems like 80 makes sense, but even then...80 is the max cold psi on the...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I wish the seat heater got as warm (hot) as my old Chevy Duramax. Even my wife's Equinox seats get really warm compared to my 16 RAM. Also the Chevy seat heater could be "back only" which I loved yr round after playing golf. The RAM seat heater is all or nothing. But still, up here in Ak it's a...

    Do you take off as soon as the engine starts?

    I live in Alaska. I'd love to remote start some mornings & have the seat/steering wheel warm up also. Is there any way to get those "warmers" to come on w/ remote start ? As it is, I can't turn them on till I push the "Start" button, once I get inside. The defroster/heater will come on - if I...

    INFO: FoTa 18.11.07 SW Update 13-17 RA3/Vp3-NA & Ra4 VP4-NA

    MY last post on Uconnect upgrade to 18.445 (I hope). I called Uconnect this morning to tell them my dealer is full of "cod *****". A nice rep named "Mark" had me go thru what I did in detail. When I read him the 5 files (just like the website shows) on the USB he asked me if they were...
