    FREE LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - Grill and Ditch Light Mounting Brackets

    I had these on my 2016 RAM 1500 which I recently sold to a friend and he didn't want these so I'm offering them up for free. Local pickup only. I have them at my office in Anaheim, CA off Tustin and the 91. Dasen LED Light Mounting Brackets - I purchased in 2020 on Amazon for $51. It says they...

    LineX, Toolbox, Bedmat and Tonneau Cover

    Looks good!!! I have a '16 with factory spray-in, bakflip, and bed rug. It is nice to have everything secure in the bed and not in the cab. Why not move the child seat or car seat base to the passenger side? I have 2 kids still in car seats (3 and 6) so both sides are taken. I also have the sub...

    What kinda jack are you using in case of a flat?

    Over the summer, I had a blowout on a trailer tire. I'd tested the OEM truck scissor jack previously with the trailer and it worked fine. This time on the slanted shoulder of the road, once it started lifting the trailer off the ground it folded. I called AAA and now carry my Milwaukee Impact...

    Axle noise….2017 Ram 2500 4x4 3.73 Anti Spin rear axle question.

    I have a 2016 1500 with an "Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle" and 66k miles. A couple weeks ago I noticed a howling noise and through my internet research, self-diagnosed it was the pinion bearing. That is out of my scope of work that I'd perform on my truck so I took it to the dealership. They...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    Good luck on the test! Looks like a compromised antenna. Why not mount one via lip mount on hood or bed pocket stake mount. Then you can have similar clearance with a longer antenna. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

    Looking at our 1st TT

    Congrats!!! Lots of additional expenses come with a first TT. I did the hellwig anti sway bar before I knew I was buying a trailer. It helped the overall handling/cornering of the truck, making the rear end feel more connected with the road. It probably helps with some added control with the...

    Looking at our 1st TT

    I read the OP, but not the complete thread, sorry if I'm duplicating anything. I have the same truck and a 2020 FR Salem Select 178DBFS 5585 GVWR. We have a family of four, the two kids are under 5. I weighed the truck last summer when we were in Medford OR and we were AT payload. Never did I...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    When you say wiggle it up and down, do you mean as if I were trying to pull it off? If so, it won't budge, only wants to rotate as you would think. Might want to call Yaesu customer support or if is still in the return window, send it back to DX for a refund. If you have a Ham Radio Outlet near...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    Yes, I've got the Signal Stuff Signal Stick by hamstudy.org. it works great. The rubber duck that came with it isn't too shabby as I still use it on occasion when I don't want to deal with the longer whip out rolling/tying it up. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

    Ham Radio Antenna

    I'm fairly new to ham radio also, got my technician a year ago and have upgraded to general a few months ago. My thoughts are, get the radio you like and get the one with all the features you might want. From my understanding, dmr is not easy and the anytone 878 seems to be the ht to go for if...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    I didn't want to drill into my truck on anything that wasn't easily replicable. For power, I went through the clutch delete plate. I installed my FTM-400 under the driver's seat with velcro. Under there I found a plastic piece under the carpet that I drilled a small hole through for grommet and...

    OBDLink 20% off Prime Day

    Alfaobd only has Android and Windows versions, iirc. There are other apps that are compatible with the OBDLink including their app though. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk

    OBDLink 20% off Prime Day

    I believe all of them will work. The MX+ works on Apple, Android and Windows. It seems to be what everyone goes for when using with AlphaOBD. You might want to do more research if the others work with it or maybe someone could chime in if they know. Sent from my moto g power using Tapatalk
