    Aisin Service, Oil

    Hello Ramites! Ramini? Ramians? Ramenes? Ramans? Ramers? Ram people. I need your help. Bought a 2016 3500 with 23k miles. It now has 26k and a friend had told me to service the Aisin transmission every 30k miles. I'm looking for a head nod or guidance from the group- is 30k the first service it...

    Speaker help

    This HU looks great- but I came across an 8.4 radio and bezel for $400 (shipped to my front door) from B&R Auto Wrecking yesterday. Now I believe I need to track down a T harness and dsp, suggestions on dsp? I also need to decide on speakers. Soooo many "trims" "generations" and "series". Will I...

    Which HU do you recommend? I really liked the sync system in my f150, the 8.4 uconnect was pretty good in my last 1 ton (2015). If a salvage place has the 8.4 screen for dirt cheap, I would do that...but if a good hu with nav, Android auto, Bluetooth, siriusxm, and touch screen can be found for...

    Speaker help

    I was reading a lot of your posts 89grand and I'm glad you caught onto this one. You give good advice! I guess budget wise I'm looking at keeping it under $1000, not including the radio for a total. Is Crutchfield the way to go or is it wise to freelance the products? I have all the time in the...

    Speaker help

    Hello, all! So in short, I want to know if I should be running all my speakers on one amp to sound like the alpine system OR if the 8.7 will do the trick (with a sub on an amp)? I am a new proud owner of a 2017 tradesman. There are many things I want to upgrade including the instrument...

    Nope, gap was like 600, theft 100, and extended warranty made up the rest.

    Last update here for those who are still curious. I'll be brief. Went to the dealer, got the truck. They offered same price as other truck which was close to 8k below what they were asking. They also threw in new tires after I pointed out how close they were to being done. The finance people...

    Tradesman - Express Grill Upgrade to a BigHorn look

    Ya I came across those- like you said perfectly "champagne taste on a beer budget". I did check out the for sale stuff on this sight, one guy selling as a whole piece and not just inserts. Someone else asked also so the must be a popular item. My new truck coming Saturday is a tradesman...I plan...

    2013-2017 uConnect 8.4 RA3 VP3 with NAV (Canadian)

    Does it change anything being Canadian?

    Looks great! Where did you get your inserts? Seems like many places on ebay sell inserts but I can't find the one like yours, which I've been wanting! Thanks

    Comrades, Here is, hopefully, the last chapter to this story. Got the phone call that they are taking care the bank and compensating me on my purchases for the truck. Someone mentioned earlier about how it would hurt credit; mainly opening and closing an account quickly. The dealership took...

    Thanks, again, all. Here is the update: First, I called Chase and told them the situation. They said they would need to talk to the dealership and we did a menage trios (but minus the fun). I patched a call through and got the manager. As he began speaking, JP Morgan Chase informed them that...
