I think it does. My unlock works better now too.
There's a reason the factory antenna is 31"

Kept my factory one for another reason..... It acts as clearance marker. If I'm going into an opening that might be close, if the antenna clears.... so will the rest of the truck.

Solid week. Detailed inside and out plus wiped the engine bay.
today I took it to the dealership for its 64,000km oil change. $30 will be the smallest bill you can get from the dealership!
I supplied my own PUP and fram ultra filter.

$13 for tire rotation at my local dealership lol

Was looking for a bit of a change for some time. BMW stripes held up extremely well, and liked the "M" touch.

Here's what I decided to go with:

I like the stealth look better.

Is there a build thread for this trailer?

There isn't a dedicated thread for the trailer. Just some random pictures here and there on my truck build thread.

Wow. Fogs are bright. My lights are stock and I swore driving tonight I had no lights on. They’re terrible.

Yea the stocks weren’t good. And my aftermarket headlights aren’t the best. I should adjust them but I’ve dealt with them for 4 years now. Have some RetroShop TYCs ordered though. Can’t wait for them to arrive.

Bought mine (technically last week since I brought it home Wednesday) and joined the forum to dig for info as I've been a GM guy most my life. Finally made the jump to Ram.

Already got a stubby antenna on it after these pictures were taken. (I HATE the rc car look) And started getting stuff to keep in the Rambox for more efficient storage.

Well, one thing I learned from joining this forum is to not visit it every day. I’ve spent so much money because of the things I’ve seen on the forum. Folks here are super helpful tho.

Haven't actually installed any of this yet, but i picked up some used goodies for my classic 19 express night edition.
Stock it has no overhead console, avg it has the open cubby above the glovebox. A couple nights ago, a guy posted up a partout 2012 ram, asking if you want anything, make an offer.

I got the overhead console with bracket and 2ft of the wire harness... Including the compass modual and a single button swith that I'm not sure of. Also got the upper glovebox insert & door with all screws and hardware.
Grand total $80 Cdn.

The glove box insert cross referances from 09-20, but the door didn't, but a quick question to Benny, a he was sure it's just because the color wasn't carried over. Not a worry for me, planned to dye it anyways.

He's a pic after a dye job to make it blend in with my interior, did the trim around the overhead also.

It was finally above freezing a few days ago, so I gave her a hose down to get the grime off.

Gordinho80 · Jan 25, 2021

Added the rear spacers and dialed up the bilsteins in front to max...

I’m thinking about redoing the white outlined letters on the tires... make them pop a little more.

Try the Sharpie Meanstreak white marker.

Just did the 7” evic upgrade. Thanks to @BigHornGuy. Looks so much better than that basic 3” one.

How much of a pain was it to change the core ? Thanks curious

It was a big job, but not all that bad. I was able to take my time, and I took pictures and taped connectors and put bolts in baggies, cuz I'm a clutz and likely to lose stuff lol. Or forget to reconnect something.
It could be a one day job with a buddy, it actually took me 3 but I coulda done it in 2.

The hardest part, which I'll mention to maybe help the next poor sucker, was finding the 2 studs that go thru the firewall to the engine side, that hold the heater box. One is behind the PCM, the other is below where the ac lines go thru the firewall. There's a stupid plastic hose clip that holds the heater hoses just stuck on that stud and I couldn't get it off. I finally said the hell with it and cut it off and yep there's a nut and finally got the heater box out. Easy peasy after that. I need to take a pic of that, now I have a temp zip tie lol for the hoses.

Saved me at least a grand in labor so it was worth it!

I would’ve taken pics of the original one but I’m sure everyone knows how basic and thrifty that one looks. I especially like the splash screen on the premium cluster. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of this freakin TPMS light.

Yessir! 2014 1500 bighorn, I lost the sensor holes but kept the whole setup so it's just a matter of drilling rear holes and getting new bumper cover with sensor holes. I'm considering front camera instead though, since it already has the backup camera I'm not too worried about the sensors
