    Ram Classic Badges and Emblems

    These badges are emblems and badges are from my '16 Big Horn. They should work with just about all '09 through '24 Ram Classic models. I'm selling all of these as a package. Buyer pays shipping which should not be much as the whole box full of them is lite and small. $50 gets everything.

    Impressed with how good 4th gen trucks still look

    The 4th gen has a presence that the 5th gen will never match. It looks good from any angle and will never be mistaken for another brand. Ram threw away 25 years of brand identity with the 5th gen when they ditched the aggressive look and the crosshair grill. I hope the mid cycle refresh of the...

    2022 1500 Classic - trip report

    I had a '14 Ram Big Horn Crew Cab with the 3.6, 3.55 rear for almost 2 years before I got rid of it via Pa Lemon Law. I did a lot of the same roads you took a few times on my way to Myrtle Beach. In the mountains of WV, VA, and NC on I77 i got around 19mpg. The bed was fully loaded plus 2 bikes...

    Running Boards

    I beleive there was a frame design change in either '15 or '16. The boards from those years to the current should fit your truck.

    Yowza!! $1700 brakes?

    I just had the front pads and rotors replaced in my '16 Ram 1500 at 52,000 miles. The cost was $320 installed at a local garage.

    2022 Ram 1500 3.6 eTorque Experience

    I had a '14 Ram with the 3.6. The shifting in that truck was smooth in city driving. On the highway and going up hills at higher speeds it was very noticeable every time it shifted. Going up hills at 70+ that thing was turning 3 - 4 k rpms. Best I ever got was 23mpg on the flat interstates of...

    The PX8 is a deeper black. Looks way better than the metallic version.

    Sport wheel center cap fell off?

    I have had at least 10 fall off in 5 years. These caps are cheap plastic except the replacements aren't cheap to buy at the dealer. I bought some knock offs on eBay and they actually seem to be a better quality and much cheaper.

    Need Grill insert Swap Help

    The front of the DT has to many pieces and odd shapes. It needs to be simplified in design and the number of parts. Shouldn't have to remove fender flares to take out a grill. In this day of computerized design, that grill must have been designed by someone who just smoked some good weed.

    I'm not a millennial.

    The Knob is very mindless to use. I don't have to look at it to go from P to D and P. Only need to look for reverse. I wish my Charger had the Knob too.

    2021 ram warlock grille

    You will need a new bumper. You can't replace just the grill.

    2022 RAM CLASSIC

    I have been saying pretty much the same thing for the last 3+ years. The new body style has not grown on me at all. The front end needs a total restyle. My ideal truck would be the Classic exterior with the new interior, similar to what they did with the HD trucks, except forget the brow styled...

    Console Shifter whine could be over..

    The Knob is just fine. The only time you really need to look at is when shifting into reverse. It frees up storage space that the new shifter will take. The floor shifter doesn't handle all of the up and downshifts if you want something other than D. It gets a paddle shifter, the Knob has...

    New Models

    I sure hope it is getting a more aggressive look. Right now the front is so bland and generic except for the Rebel and TRX. After 3 years of looking at the front of the new model it still has not grown on me, especially the models with the chrome front ends.

    New Models

    The sport hood is not available on the big Horn, just the Laramie. Not sure if it available on the Limited.
