    '14 1500 4x4 Front Axle Nut size?

    36mm. My local hardware stores didn’t have it so I got the $8 one off of Amazon. I have my front end apart as we speak.

    Best Mods for Under $100

    Found these and they are pretty heavy duty: $15 for a 2-pack https://www.amazon.com/Kolpin-21571-Black-Rhino-Grip/dp/B07GDHGH7Y Super easy to mount, heavy duty, and won’t come unlatched with rough driving. I used it to hold a 3/8-50’ rubber air hose for my onboard compressor with the quick...

    Problems wiring up LED running board lights

    I added 5050 SMD LED light strips under my cab to add in illumination with the mirror puddle lights (approach lighting). To make this work with the computers/modules of the truck, I had to run a trigger wire from the door module to a relay in the engine bay. That gave me the power I needed since...

    Had some left over 5050 SMD LED strips so I lit up the bed. Sorta free, but a 15 ft roll is about $7 on eBay.

    I was very skeptical of a short antenna after taking a year of antenna theory in school, but I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. The lower range of FM had minimal distortion and no difference at the rest of the FM spectrum. AntennaMastsRus - The Original 6 3/4 Inch is...

    2x 10” And 2x 4” LED light bars from eBay for $50. Been running great for 6 yrs now. Does an excellent job lighting up trails at night and keeps it low profile. The original listing are no longer available. I went for the best reviews and seller ratings.

    OP from pg 228. I tend to stray from kits and purchase the individual parts saving a ton of cash. There are similar kits sold on Amazon and eBay, but it’s only one strip of LEDs for $30. Here’s one if you’re interested: Check It Auto - Under Hood LED Light Kit - Automatic on/Off...

    It’s so bright you can barely see the truck outline. I love this over the OEM because if I need to troubleshoot at night, I bring the sun with me! As for longevity, the have worked without issue for over 10k miles so far. The last pic is using the same LED strips wired through a relay of my...

    Custom engine bay lights: $10 Super bright, even total illumination for a night time fix. I like this way better than the OEM light as this puts out way more illumination. Parts: - LED light strip, 5050 SMD IP67 cool white, 300 LEDs/5m length off of eBay for $4. The Buy It Now price is higher...

    Onboard Air System and Train Horn Install

    Update (research/initial experimentation): Ram has this listed as a “Rail Section Damper” in their chassis parts listing, but there are similar devices throughout all vehicles. For this post I’ll refer to them as ‘dampers.’ I’m an aerospace mechanical engineer so please let me know if I get too...

    I will do that. It’s odd things like this aren’t the same across each chassis. Thanks for the fast replies

    Onboard Air System and Train Horn Install

    Here are the views of the passenger side. I have a ‘14 1500 Tradesman crew cab short bed. The first photo is with the camera at the rear wheel looking forward. The next two photos show the space between the in floor storage and the rail section damper. The RSD is roughly at the same location as...

    Onboard Air System and Train Horn Install

    I have the same 2.5 gal tank and I went to go mount it in the same place the OP did, but I only have 18" longitudinal clearance between a cab mount and the rail section damper (14 crew cab). Aft of that, I have 22" clearance between the cab mount and the in floor storage box. With the components...

    Horn Connector?

    Hope this helps as this plug appears to be the same for the underhood light, fuel injector harness, and the license plate wiring pigtail. The plug listed above is the Yakazi 7287-1596-30 female plug. I'm almost positive the male plug is Molex 34675-0001, but don't hold me to that. I just spent a...

    OEM 4 Button AUX Switch Panel

    It took a lot of research, but I finally figured it out! If you do not have an upfitter harness or wiring, you can make your own as described in this thread. I was stuck with the OEM connector (5 aux button panel) and how to wire my switches. If you want to save yourself a lot of time to avoid...

    How to Add Overhead Console

    Problem solved!! Well, partially. I took my truck back to the dealer today to have them look at it about the missing active guidelines (that is their official name apparently). When the tech programmed CUN and CV2 yesterday, he somehow removed the XAC code that Mpgrimm2 mentioned and that...

    How to Add Overhead Console

    Thank you for your reply. I have the camera screen in the mirror and the very basic radio. The option in my radio settings are changing the clock, preset reset (already tried this, didn't work), and volume limit. I did briefly look through the EVIC and didn't see an option, but I will look more...

    How to Add Overhead Console

    Need help: I installed the overhead console with the Homelink/compass module. Went to the dealer, they programmed codes CV2 and CUN. The Homelink works now, but I do not have the compass on the cluster gauge and now I lost the guiding lines on my back up camera. Anyone have any ideas or...
