    Rims scratched

    Had some new tires put on at costco yesterday. I have a 2021 1500 night edition. They scratched all four of my black rims. If I bought some spray paint, would it be necessary to go through the whole process of sanding\priming painting the rims? The scratches are only on the very outside of the...

    Legal LED lights

    Do these turn yellow? Was wondering what happens when you make a turn and the light comes on. I saw some others on youtube that turned yellow when activated and you would have one side yellow and the other clear.

    Legal LED lights

    Are the replacement LED headlight bulbs any better than stock if you don't have the projector style headlight housing?

    Legal LED lights

    Are there any street legal LED lights\light bar that can be added to the 1500 that will produce better lighting than my stock big horn headlights? I know there is a light bar that can be mounted in the lower bumper but it claims to be off road only. Not sure it would produce a blinding light if...

    Noise on startup

    On my 21 1500 v8, when I first start it up I hear noise that sounds like relays clicking (not an engine tick). Just wondering what that is coming from. Has anyone else noticed that?

    New truck in need of a brake controller

    So we got the new camper this weekend. About 5500 lbs, 4 wheels. I honestly can't tell if the brakes are working or not. I can squeeze the paddles and feel them grab but at no settings can I lock them up. So I have it on light electric and switching power levels between 5 and 8, can't feel any...

    New truck in need of a brake controller

    So the trailer brakes worked fine with our old truck (and 3rd party brake controller) within the last 2 weeks. What is the proper way to set the level for the factory brake controller? I thought you were supposed to set them just below where they lock up but these never get close to locking up.

    Problem connecting to AlfaODB

    I finally got it installed and the options enabled but when I try pulling the camper and setting the controller, I have it on 10 and it still isn't stopping the trailer when you squeeze the paddles. I can hear the brakes come on with the paddles but when I apply truck brakes they don't sound...
