    Remote Start

    Long idle times are generally considered bad for the Hemi. Using remote start for a few minutes when it's cold should be fine. The rumor is that longer idle times may attribute to lifter failure.

    Headlights

    If your truck came with the OEM projectors, the connectors are different vs the OEM quads. When searching, you need to make sure they don't say w/ factory halogen non-projector headlights. Take a look here and you'll see what I mean- Headlights.

    Pic request aftermarket 17s. Bonus if Delmonico Red.

    Check out https://www.customwheeloffset.com/ too, they have tons of pics of Rams on 17, 18, 20... If you were closer, I'd suggest a trade of my chrome 20's for your black ones.

    Tires

    Stock for stock, you're looking at over an inch difference in diameter, smaller for the Laramie. That translates to a wheel speed change and reduction in ride quality. Like crash68 said, you'll probably want larger than OE Laramie tires. Tire ply will also make a difference in ride quality- more...

    Can't find fuse box diagram

    Uneven wear on one side after alignment

    Looks like a "toe and go"- they set the toe and sent you out the door. Camber/caster is adjustable on our trucks and it's an easy adjustment compared to some other vehicles. There's nothing you can do on the rear without adding alignment spacers and those are an expensive job. If it's a random...

    Welcome! Sounds like a trip to the dealer. Unless you drove it through a pond or something.

    Regular Cab Molle Panel

    They make molle bed panels. Maybe get one that's about the size you need and make brackets? There's this thing too- Molle panel

    Warlock with 20" aftermarket wheels + A/T tires

    The offset is the main thing that affects the look. Check customwheeloffset.com for the wheels you like; they have lots of pics of the wheels on vehicles. You can also Google the wheel name + ram 1500.

    What Headlight upgrade did you do?

    I also have the HID kit from Underground Lighting. They are in aftermarket OEM style projectors. No problems and put out great light.

    2011 Ram 1500 sagging front end with eibach pro lift.

    Doesn't seem right to me. It's rubbing only on the fender liners? Both sides? Are those aftermarket UCAs? It might be just an alignment issue, but it would have to be really far off somewhere. My guess is there's something bent that has been missed.

    Exhaust manifold Leak

    I just did the replacement on mine last weekend. I only had one broken bolt and there was enough sticking out of the head to put vice grips on it. Time consuming to do both sides, but not super hard. I used a belt sander, which took a while to get enough material off the manifolds....lol.

    Tailgate light bar

    Are you sure the tailgate lights didn't have an issue before changing the headlights? Check the wiring on the light strip. Did you change anything on the other lighting systems settings in AlfaOBD? You could direct wire the light strip to the battery just to make sure it isn't having an issue by...

    loud clicking from dash/display area

    I agree with Rlaf75, sounds HVAC related. Not much else moves in that area. Unless you have a CD player?

    Will these lugs work? Painting center caps?

    I've painted center caps before on previous vehicles. I used the duplicolor perfect match spray paint from any parts store. You could do a light scuff and a plastic primer, but it's probably unnecessary.

    Firestone Transforce AT & Winter.. not a good mix

    I have Firestone AT2s on my 1500 and they aren't great in snow either. Manageable, but not inspiring. I'll probably go with KO2s when these are worn out.

    Fuel guage

    Sounds like bad sending unit or level sensor. New fuel pump.

    Offroading, lifts, tires and more - I'm a total newb to this stuff.

    Lift makes room for larger tires and will increase your approach/departure angle slightly. Tires give you ground clearance. If you have the factory 17" wheels, you can go up to a 315/70r17 with a 2" front level which is ~34.5" tire. More sidewall is better for off-roading. The Bilstein 5100s are...

    First one ever to not get AlfaOBD to work.

    You can use resistors on the LEDs and skip AlfaOBD.

    Exhaust manifold Leak

    This issue is usually covered under the PT warranty. Fun story- I had the bolts break on my driver side manifold @57k miles. Dealer replaced under warranty. 13k and 1.5 years later, same bolts broken. Dealer told me to bugger off as it's out of warranty now... Shorties are getting installed in...

    headlight vinyl

    I used a similar product on my 3rd brake light. I swapped in LED bulbs and added the tint. It's still brighter than before with the standard bulbs. However, I would not put a tinted version on my headlights.
