    Resonator delete improve sound?

    After four month of waiting (long story), I finally got my Carven exhaust (cut and clamp, not full catback) with 5" tips in and put on. I expected a louder sound and more crackle and pops from videos I have watched (I get none at all) from it. I like how it sounds, just want more. I am...

    Stock tire on 10" wheel

    I have the 20" wheels on my '21 1500. If I'm not mistaken, they are a 9" wide wheel. I want to put a set of wheels on it but use the stock tires. Some of the wheels I am looking at are 10" wide. Would the stock tires go onto a 10" wheel without problem?

    Installing leveling kit

    So I want to put a 2.5" level on my truck. Called a local shop to see what it would cost. They told me that something was changed between the '19s and the '21s. Said to install the spacer they would have to compress the springs and I guess put the spacer inside the whole assembly opposed to...

    Changing exhaust tips

    I want to swap out the chrome tips for 5" black tips. Do I need to get a direct fit set like the Carven ones that have the ball on the end that clamp on to the pipe or is there a way to put any kind of universal set on? I like the Carven tips but I'm not sure they are worth $210 plus I'll be...

    Too much offset?

    I'm looking at swapping out my stock chrome 20" wheels for a set of black wheels. I plan on using the stock tires for now. Thing is, the wheels I am looking at say they are -44 offset and 12" wide. Is that too large a wheel to work on this truck? I have stock suspension (for now). If I'm...

    Muffler/resonator delete

    So I now have my second 5th gen Ram. On the last one I put on the Flowmaster Outlaw and I liked it a lot but it could have been louder. This time I'm thinking possibly doing a muffler/resonator delete. Anyone here done this and could compare it to the Outlaw? Watched a couple videos on...

    Sport sticker removal

    So my new '21 comes with a nice "Sport" sticker on the bed, both sides. Anyone tried to remove these? I've done badge removal and know that stuff is not fun to remove especially if it's old but this is brand new so I'm wondering if it would just come right off or will I need to use a lot if...

    Installing side steps

    Just picked up my second 5th gen. Silver this time, last one was patriot blue. Ordered me a set of side steps and they should be here Sunday. I remember when I put a set on the last truck you had to put a wire wheel brush to the studs that you mount the rails to underneath because they had...

    Adding fog lights

    '06 SLT doesn't have stock fog lights. I am currently painting the entire truck and when I'm done, I would like to swap out the stock fillers with some smoked fog lights but wonder if it's possible to wire them up factory-like?

    Swapping out bumpers

    I have an '06 SLT with the chrome bumpers and grille. The rear bumper needs replaced, has a couple holes and rust spots and I think it's slightly bent since the tailgate touches it and has worn two small scratches in the paint. Plus the cover on it is kind of warped so I want to replace it...

    Seems sluggish

    '06 1500. I have had two other Rams, a '12 and a '19 but both had a 5.7. This one is the 4.7 so what I'm feeling may just be normal and I'm expecting more because it is still a V8, just not as big a one. It has 136k on it. Just seems when I'm climbing a hill or anything I need to get on the...

    Replacing seat foam, which one?

    I picked up an '06 1500 and would like to replace the foam in the drivers seat as it is worn out and I sit at an angle when driving. Really annoying. Watched some videos and seems it should be easy to replace. But which one will fit? I look on eBay and see there's one for about $37. But it...

    Restoring rusty bed fenders

    So I got this '06 knowing I'm going to want to fix the rusty spots, most of all the big ones on the fenders of the bed. Neither side has holes yet but the drivers side probably will once I get to knocking the rust off of it. Passenger side I may get lucky and just have to sand off surface rust...

    Disappearing Coolant

    Just bought a 2006 1500 with 136k on it. When I looked at it and test drove it, it ran fine, no problems and all fluid levels were good so I took it. The town I went to get it is about 120 miles from me and mostly turnpike at 70 mph. Ran fine all the way back, the temperature gauge stayed...

    Tow mirror swap

    I eventually want to swap out my tow mirrors for the normal ones. A buddy of mine has an 18' express with the tow mirrors but there are no lights on his. Does anyone know if he were to install my mirrors on his truck if he would have all the wiring and everything to make them work on his truck?

    Loose oil filter

    Went to a shop and had my new tires put on. They call me in saying my new truck with 5,500 miles on it is leaking oil. I had just had the first oil change done on it about two weeks ago. The oil filter was loose and was leaking out and it had traces of spray all over underneath that area of...

    Swapping mirrors

    I have to big tow mirrors, same ones I had on my '12. I don't have anything to tow so I don't need these big things. I wonder if the regular style are a direct swap out? Anyone know what they cost?

    12.8" wide tires

    Since I have the 3.5" lift on, I'm wanting to get some 35's on. The tire I am looking at is 12.8" wide. Anyone know if this wide a tire will work without rubbing?

    Cleaning steering wheel

    What do you clean your leather wrapped steering wheel with? Do you use the leather cleaning wipes? I had the leather wrapped wheel on my '12 and at 90k miles it seemed to be wearing out on the top where I usually have my hand at. Want to keep it in top condition so don't want to clean it with...

    RC 3.5" Installed

    Got the 3.5" kit from Rough Country and have to say I love it. It is a tick more stiffer but I think overall it looks pretty good without sacrificing much ride. Now to get the 35s.

    Flowmaster - Outlaw or FlowFX

    Since they are both out now, I'm wondering which to get. Apparently they both are direct fit. I'm guessing the only difference is the Outlaw is louder? That's what I'm going for and since I'm not going catback just yet, I want a pretty good sounding result until I do. Since I'm not taking...

    TopCoat F11

    Has anyone tried TopCoat F11 polish and sealer? They claim it does some pretty good things but it's kind of pricey. Wondering if it's worth it.

    Stock fender measurements

    Does anyone know offhand what the stock fender measurements are from the fender to the ground are? I forgot to measure before I put the kit in and wondering how much it actually went up.

    Installing 3.5" lift myself

    I got the 3.5" Rough Country lift kit in and I'm tempted to save about $450 and do it myself. This is the kit I got: https://www.roughcountry.com/dodge-suspension-lift-kit-31430.html The kit comes with detailed instructions and it seems like it's something I should be able to do as long as I...

    12" Tires?

    So I'm looking at getting the 3.5" lift on my truck. I'll be wanting to move up to 34's and I'm wondering if I can get a 12" tire (305/65/18) on there without any rubbing. I have 18" aftermarkets on it now that I'll be swapping over and they have a +12 offset so they stick out just a bit more...
