    'Night Edition' Colors

    That's a nice color. If I had gone two-tone it would've been that & gray or silver.

    'Night Edition' Colors

    I did the last time with no luck just in general, didn't this time as it didn't often show it as a color option & was pretty set on the dark red. Still love that one too, just thinking might be time to try a different color if we have to trade up.

    'Night Edition' Colors

    We never had this issue before, but lately, the family keeps packing the bed full. >.< Might be debating in a year or two to upgrade if it keeps going. >.> But if that happens that's about what I'd be looking at probably if available with preferred options still. Green with the black badges, 8'...

    2022 2500 6.4 Air Intake Mods?

    If you just want a bit more noise and/or not have to replace filters regularly check on the aFe dry filter. It's a drop-in and pretty low maintenance. No oil. I've used them on several vehicles so far and love 'em. Plus inexpensive vs. an aftermarket CAI.

    'Night Edition' Colors

    This is more of a discussion (and minor gripe) than a question. I saw a Power Wagon on the lot a few days ago when picking mine up from getting the gas tank and master brake cylinder replaced. It was a '21 with just over 3k miles for $70k. Aside from it being too late and possibly too high a...

    Newer 2500 Driving Stability?

    Mine were a bit high but not much. Sorted that out quick. It wound up needing an alignment.

    2500 off road package

    A bit off-topic but how do you like CJC? I've been looking at their site and probably getting my AEV wheels from them (and possibly other stuff). I spoke to one of them and they were helpful, said any actual builds are about a six-month wait. They seem a really good option and only about 25...

    6.4 Hemi w/4.10s or Cummins?

    I have one on my GTI due to a small amount of drive-by-wire and turbo lag. My family got me one for the truck for my birthday. So we'll see if it's worth the difference once I figure out where I want to stash it. :/ I'll try to post up on the 'What I did this week thread'.

    6.4 Hemi w/4.10s or Cummins?

    I very nearly got a Silverado Trail Boss with the 6.2L (yeah, gambling a bit). But the same issue there, the interior is still pretty dated and the cost difference between similar 1500s & 2500s wasn't big enough to justify it. Aside from having a history of known folks with Ford issues when...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    I think at this point it might be a 'your mileage may vary' sort of thing. As mentioned above America's Tire told me they could have it in a week. This shop has been pretty accurate on estimates in the past. Given I'm in LA and they probably have several distribution points nearby it's possible...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    Given the nutjob rim/tire differences I've seen people driving on around here I was wondering about that. On the one hand, the truck nearly doubles as our family car so I don't want to add potential fail points. But on the other hand, it's a large tire and I didn't think 1/2" would be that big...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    Yeah but don't seem too bad. Supposedly they could get them in about a week.

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    I was talking to my local America's Tire store I usually go to (and to compare with Tire Rack). They said my stock 20" wheels will be at least 1/2" too narrow for the 35x12.5s. If I have to get new wheels anyway might as well save a little and go with the 17s. Pretty sure I remember reading...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    Looking some more these are extremely similar. Toyos I think win out in the end due to minor differences (one maybe moderate). Coopers are getting a number of responses about a lot of extra noise and/or cupping about halfway through their lifespan for the AT3s. Toyos have an extreme snow rating...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    Thanks to both! The 315s I noticed before, think about 0.5-1" smaller overall but that's a pretty small difference once I actually compared them. It might just come down to which my wife prefers. ;) We saw a Prospector on a nearby Ram lot and she liked the overall look so that might do it.

    2500 6.4L Exhaust Options

    I'm still staring at this one since it seems about the only aftermarket set for the HDs. Maybe with the black Magnaflow clamp-on tip for 4" pipes if it's a decent hold. I hate having to worry about tightening things all the time. Maybe see if Nick above has any feedback on 'em.

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    I'm having some internal debates over whether to go with the 17" or 20". I like the idea of meatier tires and possibly a bit better ride (plus the Saltas), but on the flip side I already have the 20s and it's supposedly better for towing. I currently tow and go off-road about the same, but if we...

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    In the last two weeks or so: the gas tank & master brake cylinder were swapped out under warranty and picked up/installed the lockbox for the center console. Seems pretty solid & went in easy enough except the 3 screws on the back being a pain since I couldn't see them. The only 'down' side is...

    Newer 2500 Driving Stability?

    Update: new master brake cylinder has been swapped out and the brakes are doing better. Fingers crossed between that and the alignment that's all sorted. :)

    Quick copy & paste from their site: AEV Saltas KEY FEATURES: A356/T6 cast aluminum construction 4,100 lbs. load rating – tested w/ a 40” tire Compatible with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) AEV’s Signature recessed valve stems for added protection Tested to stringent SAE J2530...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    Thanks! The silver's a good match for yours. I'll take a look at the RTs for comparison. Not looking to go too aggressive on MTs for now and would like to keep the higher rating just in case until we get our camper situation sorted but I think either would be fine in the end. Edit: Rating looks...

    Think I settled on a new tire/wheel combo

    I've been poking around and think I'm going with AEV Salta 17" wheels with Toyo Open Country AT III 35" tires. Any particular pros/cons for either anyone knows of? I like AEV's bag of goodies and looks like they're getting more back out for the Gen 5s so will probably add some other bits over...

    Hemi tick??

    Yep. Mine was ok considering, usually 12-14 for the time. But it was down to around 8 on average by the time I sold it. So now with the 6.4L & 4.10 gears, even an average of 11-12 in LA traffic and daily hills is decent. Regular & hwy is better so I'm good.

    AWE 0FG Catback Exhaust Suite for the 5th Gen RAM, available now!

    Yep, bit up there although AWE does seem to be pretty well-liked. Would have to look pretty well at others. Think the Magnaflow one I was considering was under $1k. No HD love? :p
