    New 2024 1500 Rebel Came With Extra Lock Cylinder

    Yeah, I just haven't taken the time to bother with it yet. Sometime before summer I will try that route though!

    New 2024 1500 Rebel Came With Extra Lock Cylinder

    If you have the bed divider, that may be for the lock in the bed divider handle; might need to have it coded to your key. I have the divider (wasn't with my truck, but mine was used) I got off FB marketplace with the original owner's lock cylinder still in place, so I can't lock the divider. But...

    AlfaOBD

    I'm fairly certain that it is NOT possible with Ram trucks; I know I've read that it can't be done though I don't remember what the limitation actually is, and I can't find a provision in AlfaOBD to effect the same change that FORSCAN allows with the F-series. Its annoying, because even without...

    M² Mods Intro & Project List

    @Mpgrimm2: are you doing the Cargo Cam harnesses for 4th Gens? I'm looking to add it to my 2015 2500 Limited (I have a UAQ radio already), but the kaodtech site shows they're unavailable. Please advise if you are or can do that harness; again, it will be going into a 2015 2500 Limited using a...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    I know this is an old post, but the issue is closed. Here's what I found once the truck was up in the air: First, the front end was "leveled" or by the use of springs only. The springs on the truck when I got it (and that were present in my original post) were about 4" taller than the stock...

    Added tailgate light bar

    Get the 5-pin Curt harness, and you can use a bullet connector to connect your reverse light to the corresponding socket on the 5-Pin female from the Curt harness. Or, I cut the male pin off the 4-pin hardwire pigtail that came with my lightbar to make that the plug for my reverse pin. I don't...

    Sagging headliner around sunroof

    I noticed today when I installed my roof marker lights on my 2015 2500 that the plastic frame that surrounds the sunroof cutout on the inside of the headliner was with some form of glue, and that plastic frame piece holds a handful of standoffs with a square of Scotchlok that mates to scotchlok...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    So I managed to get the broken passenger side shock off the truck after cutting through the top washer and rubber mounting isolator. Since it wasn't connected (the top of the body screws into a small nipple on the underside of the shock mount. Those threads, both on the shock body and the nipple...

    AlfaOBD

    Huh. I guess the new guy is right @Jimmy07. Who are we to leave him to clean up the site?

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    No; nothing looks to be added to the suspension at all: just that 'extra tall" spring the the shocks on all four corners. All the brackets seem to be mounted on the axles as they would be from the factory, but I don't have any good "here's what baseline actually looks like" to reference.

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    I'm of that mindset, actually. Pull the front springs/shocks, replace the rear shocks and while I'm at it, replace the steering damper. I don't know if some modification was made to the rear air spring linkages to have them raise higher than stock; I don't know the stock dimensions vs. what mine...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    @Wulf I agree: the front springs seem like they're really too tall for the application. I'm wondering if someone jammed some diesel springs into the front of my gasser or something. Either way, I can't locate ANY form of spacer blocks or non-factory bracketry on either the front or rear axle...I...

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    Android Auto (AA) or CarPlay (CP). I THINK the question related to getting one of the apps working with the hub...or at least which you used.

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    I thought about that. I'll check it. Thanks!

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    One further option for Floor Console owners who want to avoid hacking up their inner console lid tray to fit the Chrysler 200 hub, or don't want the gap left with the Compass hub- I can guarantee that the inside tray from a 2020 1500 Classic will replace the inner tray of a 2015 Ram 2500...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    Yeah, the pics aren't the greatest, but I can't see any sign of a spacer on the top sides. I also can't tell if anything has been modified on the air sensor arm/linkages. It would have been nice if the PO who did the work left documentation!!

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    No spacers anywhere...at least not that are evident to ME. I do believe the Power Wagon is a bit taller (yet somewhat softer ride) than a stock 2500 gasser, but I could be just imagining I read that. Either way, I posted up some pics of the rear air springs when I quoted you: unless I'm not...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    olyelr: I see no spacers, and the mounting bosses seem to be stock. Could I be wrong? Passenger side airbag (from behind the axle under the truck): Here's as seen from the wheel well looking in/back: Driver side (swaybar seems to have stolen the focus): Better shot of the driver bottom...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    So for a bit of update, I cleaned out the wheel wells and measured from the center of the passenger front wheel to the lip of the fender, and got 28 1/8" at the front wheel, and 27 11/16" at the rear wheel. In poking around under the truck (on the ground), I can see no evidence of...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    The bottom mount is now a plate with the stud welded to it, and that plate screws to the tailgate where the rivnut is inserted in the tailgate, rather than the lower stud being installed right to that point. It moves the stud about an inch higher on the side of the gate, but also should...

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    I went onto Car-Part.com, and did some searches for Chrysler 200 consoles; specifically, I looked for posts where the vehicle had the 8.4" screen and possibly a VIN so I could run the VIN for the equipment that the car had, then I reached out to the yards to see if they'd pop the media hub out...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    HA! Actually determining the lift so I can order proper front shocks...and possibly all four. Then finding a garage/shop I can use to install the Mopar cab clearance lights kit.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I guess this last week or so I've been busy since we're starting to get some moderate temps! To wit: First, I replaced the puddle lights and turn signals in the mirrors as both puddle lights were burnt out, and the driver side turn signal was dead along with a couple of the LEDs on the passenger...

    How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?

    Well, I just got this 2015 Laramie Limited 2500, and it's obviously a bit different than stock as far as height. I'm not sure, since it's been cold and wet and can't/don't want to crawl around under it yet, what kind of lift or more likely leveling setup this has. I wouldn't care all that much...

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    I DID. I gave it a week between efforts, then disconnected the battery and reinstalled the unit along with the Chrysler 200-sourced USB media hub. Once I reconnected the battery (I had it disconnected for at least an hour while I worked at a nice slow pace), the radio was working: I had audio...
