    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    I brought mine home. Traded in my 2012 Ram 1500 Quad Sport for a 2022 Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi, Rebel Level 2 package, My old one gave me 203,000 miles of trouble free driving until the rear axle started to chew something up inside. Metal in the fluid. Figured it was a good excuse to trade up.

    Poll question New sound system or new cold intake?

    Sound system. I just put in a Kenwood DMX706s and I can't believe how much better it sounds even with the stock speakers. It is a significant change that I wish I did 160,000 miles ago. Yes, I have a 2012 and finally got around to this. The stock radio was the 730N Media Center.
