    Driver Side Mirror replacement

    Someone decided to smash my driver side mirror with a beer bottle in a parking lot, and it's time to replace the mirror glass. I had a ridiculous quote of $470 from a dealer for part and labor and I declined the opportunity. To add insult to injury, they wouldn't tell me what part number I...

    Buying a power wagon just because it’s bad @$$

    How do the Power Wagons, or the 2500 in general, ride compared to the 1500? Anyone have direct comparison experience of owning both? I have a 2020 1500 Lariat and love it. But, I really wanted to have a power wagon, mainly because of the look and features. At this time I don't need the...

    Fuel Economy Calculator Question

    Does anyone know what the mileage base for the average fuel economy calculator is? It seems to change too quickly to be a purely cumulative calculation from the last reset. Seems like it might be an average over the last fifty miles or something like that? Just curious. I realize it probably...

    Car washes and tonneau covers

    Never had an issue with the Truxport tonneau. Are those low profile bug deflectors effective? Apparently I need bird and stone deflector too....

    Optional Oil Filter?

    I just did my first oil change. I must say I was surprised at how small the filter is. I used a NAPA Gold, which should be made by Wix. I think I'd feel better with a bigger filter, even though I'm sure the engine has been tested sufficiently with the OE one. Is there a longer version that...

    Engine block heater cord installation

    Will my 2020 1500 5.7 E-torque have the heating element installed already as well or is that just a 2500 thing?

    Block Heater

    After a little research it seems there are multiple variants of the heater/cord over the last few years depending on the year and which engine. Mounting location may have changed too. Looks like the parts should be about $100 but they haven't made it easy to find the specific one for the 2020...

    Block Heater

    Has anyone had a factory or aftermarket block heater installed after buying your new truck? Usually the trucks around here all have them when ordered by the local dealers. I had to bring mine in from a dealer a few hours South and it wasn't fitted with a heater. I'd like to look into...

    Anyone Ordered a TRX?

    There is a lot more difference on a TRX than just the motor over a standard chassis RAM. Especially if you were to use it as intended, off road. You can get a take out Hellcat motor for ~10-12k if you look. Those things seem to crash pretty often. I almost bought one for my 73 Cuda...

    Tire choices- staying stock size

    The Cooper AT3 are getting good reviews. I had the older version on my last truck and got good wear, low noise, and good snow traction. The newer design is supposed to be better. The AT3 XLT comes in an E rating.

    What's your gas mileage with 3.92 gearing and the 5.7?

    I had 500 miles on my 2020 Laramie, 3.92 E-torque, Off-Road package when we left for Waco, Tx from Milwaukee last month. A week and 3600 miles later we got back home. The trip odometer calculator showed 19.1 MPG average for the entire trip. That is a lot of highway at 75-80+ mph and a bunch...

    Simple Mud Flaps for 2020 Ram 1500 Limited

    I went with Husky on my '20 Laramie. Got the extra screws in without removing the rear tires by using a short, right angle drill attachment. Or you can drill from the back. Where that screw goes is not mission critical. The tape they supply sticks to the truck better than the flap, probably...

    BAK and Truxedo roll up cover watertightness

    I find Amazon's fitment and feature detail to be sorely lacking and often wrong on a variety of products. I always use a secondary source for fitment and get a specific model number, then may buy through Amazon if the savings are big enough. Their crappy packaging and damaged products are...

    BAK and Truxedo roll up cover watertightness

    The trouble closing the cover might be the adjustment of the tensioners, up by the front of the side rails? Mine closes OK, but those great big gaps at the ends of the gate let a lot of water in. The gate is pretty far from the bed on the sides.

    BAK and Truxedo roll up cover watertightness

    If you don't mind, post a pic or two how you attacked the tailgate to bed interface on your lo pro. I bought the gasket kit and it was too tight along the bottom and doesn't come close on the sides and at the top. had to hack it up so the gate would close and it just isn't working out. I'm...

    ETorque ? Anyone happy with it? Reliability ?

    So far so good with mine after 5k miles. Truck got 19 mpg for a 3700 mile round trip to Texas averaging 75-80 mph and has been getting close to 17 in stop and go thru the village here. I know it is another complication, but they have a few years on the technology and it was in the only truck I...

    Got my rebel ceramic coated

    You doing the wool wax and ceramic yourself? I'm interested in what products you use and how long the wool wax takes to apply. I want to do the underside of my new 1500 before the salt comes down.

    Tonneau Cover

    I'm on my second Truxedo roll up. I have the Lo-Pro now on the Ram and the Truxport on the previous F150. I like that it can be removed. Working on getting the tailgate sealed near the top better for water intrusion, but that is a Ram problem, not the cover as far as I can tell. Overall, I...

    BAK and Truxedo roll up cover watertightness

    Everything I'm aware of rolls, tilts, or flips forward. The Truxedo Lo-Pro that I just installed, removes completely from the front in about 20 seconds, leaving the full bed space front to rear.

    Differential upgrade?

    Well this is a moot point for me now. I found one with everything I wanted on it, plus some extra stuff I could live without. It has the 3.92 gear and the E-loc that comes with the Off Road package, so I am good to go. It also has some sort of SureGrip or anti-spin as well because it will...

    Aftermarket Undercoating?

    I talked to them yesterday. Sounds like they use a wax based product in certain areas and a black colored tar or something on the frame? How does yours look? My understanding is that the undercoating is not the same as the bed coating material. The price seems reasonable.

    BAK and Truxedo roll up cover watertightness

    I agree, the Truxedo worked pretty well. I ordered the lo-pro so that the top of the rails would be open on this one. I'll pay attention to the weather stip at the front. Should arrive today and hopefully I'll be able to get it mounted for an upcoming road trip.

    Aftermarket Undercoating?

    Anyone in the upper Midwest or Eastern side have their truck undercoated? I know there is the black tar style Ziebart does, as well as a Cosmoline type wax and maybe something else. So can those of you who have done so, relate your success or failure with the process. Maybe too early to tell...

    BAK and Truxedo roll up cover watertightness

    I had a Truxedo standard soft rollup cover on my F150 and I was very happy with it after seven years of use. It would keep the bed dry unless I really hosed down the front corners. I'm looking at the rigid roll up covers like the BAK X2/X4 and the Truxedo Sentry for my new 1500 crew with...

    Ride Quality, Rebel vs Laramie

    This has been a good discussion and please carry on. I did want to provide some closure on my decision. I just brought home my 2020 Delmonico Red Laramie Sport. It has the Off Road package, Laramie Lev1, Bed group, Nav, 33 gal tank, 3.92, E-locker, park sensors, Trailer brake, E-Torque Hemi...
