    Bluetooth

    I have an 09 Ram 1500 with the REN stereo. For the most part, it suites my needs. I would like Bluetooth though and don't want to buy a new head unit at this time. I have read that there are devices that plug into the aux and usb ports that will give you Bluetooth. Does anybody have...

    Heat

    My 09 1500 has given me no problems until now. Last week my AC quit blowing cold air. It may be something simple, but have not had time to look at it. This morning it was 28 degrees (Florida) and I ran the heater. Hot air out of the passenger side and cab temp air out of the driver's side. Now...

    Backup Camera lines

    Question: Are the interactive backup lines part of the stereo or the truck? Reason I ask is I have an 09 with a backup camera, but no lines. I am thinking about upgrading my stereo and wondered if it is possible to get the backup parking lines with a stereo upgrade. Any inputs on a good...

    Stereo for an 09 laramie

    I am looking to bring my stereo up to date in my 09 Ram Laramie. It has the Alpine system which sounds fine, but would like to upgrade the looks and functions. I am looking for something with the lines for the backup camera, Bluetooth capable, great sound...etc. Any inputs? Post photos if...

    Pinion Bearing

    I just had the pinion bearing replaced on my 09 Ram 1500 4x4 after 176,000 miles. It was covered under my lifetime powertrain warranty. It was making a howling sound that increased/decreased with speed. 3 weeks later, I am hearing the same noise again. When I first got it back it sounded...

    Backup Camera lines

    I have an 09 1500 Laramie 4x4 with the REN stereo. I love the backup camera and it does what I need it to (line up to boat trailer), but would love to have the colored lines for backing into parking spots. Is there a software upgrade that can give me this or do I need to buy a new stereo...

    Rear end noise

    I have an 09 1500 4x4 with 176,000 miles on it. Just last week I started hearing a sound that I could only describe as the sound when you have badly cupped tires or true mudders. I checked my Toyo ATs and they seem to be OK. I stopped by my dealer and they took it for a drive. The mechanic...

    Diminished value

    No, not my Ram, but the wife's 2016 Maxima. She got hit in the rear and it looks like a new trunk, bumper, rear quarter panel and whatever else they find. State Farm feels that once the vehicle is repaired, it is back to its original condition. The problem being, if I were to trade/sell the...

    Pocket flares with 20x9 rims

    I like the look of the pocket flares, but not sure it would look good on my truck. I am running 35's (just under 12" width) on a 20x9 rim. My OEM flares look decent, but the pocket flares may stick out too far. Rough Country makes a set that covers 2"; mine are 1.5" I believe. Anyone have...

    Lock Height

    My buddy has a 2016 Rebel with the air suspension and the BDS 4" lift added. He would like to be able to ride at off-road height when going at Higher speeds, but the Rebel automatically lowers the truck at certain speeds. Has anyone found a work around for this or a tuner that can override this?

    ICON Rear Coil Springs

    Bought some ICON dual stage rear coil springs for my 09 Ram 1500 4x4 with 6" lift. This will give me an additional 1.5" in the rear which is good since my truck sits a bit nose high. How tough of a job is this? Will I need a spring compressor? Local tire shop said he would do it for $75-$125

    ICON 1.5"Lifted rear coil springs

    http://www.socalsupertrucks.com/Icon-2009-Current-RAM-1500-1-5-Lift-Rear-Coil-Spring.aspx Anybody try these? I want to lift the back of my Ram 1"-1.5". Had Bilstiens put on front and a bit high. Like the way it sits, so want to lift the back. Supposed to give a bit softer ride; yet a bitter...

    Rotors and pads

    Not sure if this belongs in the exterior section or not... 2009 Ram 4x4, 6" lift with 35s Time to do my brakes again, but this time I plan to replace the rotors. I am at 167,000 miles and they have some wear. Should I just go to my dealer and get the OEM rotors and pads? They have always...

    2009 lighting

    I have read so many post on this that my head is spinning. Still trying to find good headlights for my 09 Ram. Wouldn't mind the projector style with DRL like the Rebel has in them. Are these a direct fit replacement? Any idea of what they cost? I have read that there are fitment issues...

    Rear Coils

    I had this under another post, but the title was off topic. Anyway, my 09 Ram has a 6" RC lift. Since I had Bilstiens put up front, I sit an inch high. The shop wants to charge me labor to lower them even though I had requested it be level. They said as long as the frame is level, they...

    Airbags in rear

    My 09 Ram with RC 6" lift sits an inch higher in front now that I had new Bilstiens put on. They installed them and said that the front was low so they bumped up the 5100s. The front was high but they said it should settle. It did not and now they say if the frame is level, it will cost me...

    Options

    Have an 09 Ram with a RC 6" lift. Just had front shocks (struts) replaced with Bilstiens. He said at the lowest setting it was too low, so they bumped it up to the next setting. Now it sits about an inch high (maybe he went to bumps up?). He said to let it settle and if I am not happy...

    What setting

    I have an 09 Ram 1500 with the RC 6" lift. Getting ready to put Bilstien 5100s on the front, what setting should it be at? I seem to be pretty level now.

    Rough Country N2.0

    Has anyone tried the Rough Country N2.0 struts? I have a 6" RC lift and need to replace the factory struts. Leaning toward Bilstien since Fox doesn't seem to make what I need, but wanted to check on these. I cannot find reviews anywhere. I know some here hate RC, just looking for first...

    Question about shocks w/6" RC lift

    I have a 6" RC lift on my 09 Ram and my front shocks need replacing (163,000 miles). Does anyone have this setup and what shocks did you use? I was interested in the Fox 2.0, but can't get a good answer from them as to if it will work. They said my best bet would be to contact rough country...

    Chrome

    What does everyone use to protect chrome wheels? I am looking for a protectant more than a cleaner. I haven't found much in the cleaner department that does any good; washing with a mit and getting in the grooves seems to work better than this spray on/hose off stuff.

    Which shocks

    I have an 09 Ram 1500 with a RC 6" lift and running 35s. My front shocks (original) are leaking. Looking for advice on what shocks to replace them with. I don't need any lift, just a good shock. I looked at the Fox Coil Overs, but they are a bit expensive. I hear a lot about the Bilstein...

    Timing Chain

    I have an 09 Ram 1500 with Hemi Is there a certain mileage that the timing chain should be replaced? I ask because I have 162,000 on mine (no problems) and the dealer has never mentioned it. I don't want to void my Power Train Warranty

    One corner higher

    noticed yesterday that the passenger side rear looked higher. I have a RC 6" lift. It measured just over an inch higher than the driver's side rear. I'm pretty sure when I had the lift put on the back was even and the front was about an inch lower. The installer thinks a spring has slipped...

    shocks with lift

    Just had a 6" RC lift put on 2 months ago. It claims to level the truck, but I have a 1" rake. Doesn't look too bad. Just found out that my front shocks, stock with 162,000 on them, are leaking. Could this cause the difference in height. The reason I ask is that I am going to put...
