    SOLD - FS - 4th Gen Hemi Ornage Vararam

    SOLD - Thanks! 4th Gen Vararam intake with hemi orange top. Has about 10k miles on it, still in great shape, nothing broken and no gaps in filter. Selling because I didn't realize that CA had new law (a few years ago) including intakes needing CARB EO's for passing visual inspection. Comes...

    Koni STR.T (Orange) - Light Truck Series - Shock Review

    Sorry - this doesn't fit in the "lowered" OR "lifted" forums, so seems like this is the place for it. Mods - please move as you see fit. https://www.koni-na.com/en-US/NorthAmerica/Products/Cars/STR-T-LT-Series-(Orange)/ So it's been a week or so since I changed out my Bilstein 4600s for these...

    1/2 ton to 3/4 ton towing.....worth it?

    QUESTION - Should I buy the new truck? We've been trying to sell our travel trailer for a month now, and no one is biting. We're selling it for a list of reasons, but a big one is that it basically maxes out my 2015 1500 on both payload and towing capacity, and it's a beast to drive with (it...

    UConnect 5.0 Glitchy on Startup - Won't boot....sometimes

    Hey kids, Odd little bug here. Every now and again (no rhyme or reason), my radio simply won't boot. I see the screen power up, sometimes it will get to the ram logo screen (sometimes not), but it simply won't boot. I can usually get it to boot after shutting down the truck and letting it sit...

    Computer says overheated and refuses to start - Double-ewe-tee-eff

    So over the weekend I went out to buy a new phone - got to the place, purchase the phone, and when I try to start the rig up it shows my temp needle all the way in the red, refuses to even attempt to turn over, and gives two messages in EVIC - 1) Motor is too hot and 2) that I need to service...

    '15 Ram 1500 2wd Front shock replacement

    So I can find how-to's for all of the 4x4's with the front strut assembly, but nothing for the 4x2 crowd. Anything I need to watch out for when I try to replace the crap OEM shocks in the front with Bilstein 4600's? And mods - not sure where this should go - it's not lowered or lifted -...

    First "long" Tow

    '15 Ram 1500 CC, Hemi, 3.21 gears, towing a CruiserRV Viewfinder Signature 28BHOB (figure a shade over 7K lbs loaded up) First big tow was this last weekend - from just outside Sacramento to Tehachapi. Approx 700 miles round trip. First thing - yes, this should probably be towed by a 3/4...

    GPS Units for Towing

    Anyone have any experience with GPS units specifically made for towing? They generally allow you to input trailer characteristics and then route based on issues you may have - they also tend to have the ability to find gas stations that cater to trailers, rest stops, etc. I'm looking at one...

    P1457 after shock install?

    Just installed rear Bilstein 4600's. They ride great, but now my '15 Ram 1500 is throwing p1457 - an EVAP code. Double-ewe-tee-eff? Any ideas?

    Service / Shop Manuals

    I've searched, but can't find anywhere to either purchase or just download a service or shop manual for the 2015 1500s. Any ideas? Of course I'd prefer a nice download, but I'll pay if need be. If not - anyone know what torque specs are for a 2015 4x2 for all of the shock connections...

    RamBox Protection options

    So I've got the 5'7" RamBox bed, and I love it, but I'm curious if there are any protection options other than a spray-in bedliner. Has anyone found a bedrug or similar option for our short, framed out beds?

    Max Steel - Black emblems?

    Anyone either running factory black, or plasti-dipped their chrome emblems black on a Max Steel Ram? I'd like to see pics - wife doesn't like the idea, but I think it has merit. TIA

    Time for HD shocks for towing - opinions?

    Hey all, 1500CC towing a 7K lb trailer. Got the e-rated tires, which was an immense upgrade, and the airbags are doing their job, but the OEM shocks just can't handle that much weight effectively. Looking at KYB, Bilstein (which, I think, is out of stock EVERYWHERE), ProComp...

    Towing-Specific GPS Units

    So I'm in the market for a little GPS unit for the truck, specifically just so that I can get directions on the fly while towing. I've been looking around, and I've seen not only significant price gaps, but also a few models that state they are specific for trailing/towing. Does anyone...

    Adventures in Towing with 4-ply Tires - Need recommendations

    Hey kids - So picked up my TT yesterday - 6050lbs dry, 31' Cruiser Viewfinder Signature. LOVE the trailer. Airbag setup worked perfectly set at 30psi - no sag at all once the wd hitch was dialed in. ITBC also worked flawlessly set at 7.0 light electric. That said, the 30 miles home was...

    ITBS EVIC Flash Cheap in NorCal

    Just a heads up - had the EVIC flashed for my new brake controller on Saturday at Ram in Lodi, CA - only place in the central valley that did it for $60. Every other place I called was $135 and up. AND they even know what they're doing - after reading the horror stories here about how some...

    Pickles, Idiot Extraordinaire - 6.5" in the doors

    So I decided I wanted to upgrade my speakers - dug out my box o' car audio "stuff", and found 4 S-series Alpine 6.5" two-ways. Picked up two pairs of 6x9 -> 6.5" adapter plates and went to work. First off - due to the molding under the OEM speaker you will need to do quite a bit of...
