factory projectors? + incandescent? = really? tsk tsk Ram. horrible lighting.
I’m just going out on a limb here but basing my experience off some aftermarket projector headlights I bought for my old 2008 I had, I would imagine that Ram buys those headlights with whatever bulbs the factory that makes them preinstalls in them.
But even a good set of Silverstar Ultras is difference of night and day(no pun intended) in those factory projectors. Go get ya some and be happy. I was real happy with the Silverstar XdE’s or whatever they were called but I had heard so much rave about HID’s and LED’s that I hooked myself up with a set and couldn’t be happier.
alpine system in general. sound quality, lack of adjustment (eq), lack of max volume, lack of ability to upgrade / add subs with NORMAL audio components/amps/speakers etc
I figured for a factory system that it was pretty impressive. But there is an EQ. Not a major 5 or 7 step one like on a high-end system but there is one.
But that lack of max volume is more of a protection than anything. When most people want louder, they go aftermarket. That’s just been the law of the land for since forever.
But upgrading the factory system isn’t hard at all. I just simply upgraded my dash speakers, my rear roof speakers and the rear door speakers that are as clear as bell. My system doesn’t sound muddy like it did before. And I can crank it up enough to rival a lot of fancy, higher-end aftermarket systems that a lot of people pay a lot of money for.
Adding my JL Audio stealthbox and amp to the factory system under the rear seat was a breeze as well. I just ran a power wire from my battery to the amp, and used the factory rear sub wiring as my feed to the amp. Ran a remote power knob to the amp to my kick panel in the floorboard to control the volume. Piece of cake. JL Audio was real helpful in the setup. Had to lose my under seat floor but that was no big loss. I’d rather have thump than that. Lol.
factory head unit/nav. there should be a hack/flash available to update the older models to have the newer features (ie. android auto)
I agree. But then they wouldn’t sell as many new cars if they did that. Lol.
rear door lock actuators. glad I have warranty on my 2015 Longhorn until Nov 2023. I suspect these will be replaced at least 4 more times by then.
Sounds like you got some bad ones.
air suspension + cold weather = problems
Unfortunately, if they wish to still sell vehicles with air ride technically,
and actually had a more reliable system in cold weather, they’d be so expensive that no one would buy them.
tpms + cold weather = problems.
I wish both of the above could be shut off so every time I start the truck I don't have to scroll screens to clear the 'service messages'. it'd be great to totally turn off tmps sensors all together.
Like?
weak tie rod ends and control arm bushings (glad about ext warr on these as well)
This is news to me.
can't fold down back of rear seat in crew cab. can only fold lower up.
Just curious but why is this an issue?
3.21's (nuff said) I didn't get the truck new but they are few and far between around here
I’m confused... is this a gripe or a praise??
