    1500 Owners. About how many miles did you get out of your original brake pads?

    I’m at 92,000 and getting ready to order powerstop pads and rotors to replace the oem fronts. Probably 40,000 of my miles have been with a trailer behind it, half being a 22ft with no braking system so I can’t complain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Falken Wildpeak AT3W owners - how are they wearing?

    FYI, Tirebuyer.com has these tires on sale right now. Just ordered 295/60/20 for $274.99 each. A quick google search for coupon code turned up FALKENAFF07 which took another 7% off, bringing my out the door total including shipping to my local installer to $1,087. I paid over $1,400 for my...

    Adding brake controller 15 express

    I bought and installed the Tekonsha P3 and adapter harness for RAM trucks from etrailers and it was plug and play and works great. I wanted to get it in ASAP as I tow basically 6 days a week with the truck and had just picked up a new 26' long double axle trailer, so I wasn't able to mount it...

    Front outer tire wear.

    It has never been aligned since I have owned it, and probably wasn't ever aligned before that either. I'm at 77k miles now and bought it with 40,xxx.

    Front outer tire wear.

    I would say you may just need an alignment, but I have 35K miles on my tires and have rotated them once (20k ago). Also have 20k miles since leveling with Bilsteins at 2.1" and never got an alignment afterwards. Maybe I'm just lucky, but my truck drives perfectly straight, no vibration, and at...

    Installation troubles

    Same thing happened to me when installing the exact setup. It will clear itself after a few key cycles. Did you start the truck at any point before reconnecting all of the harnesses in the dash? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear metal bracket ....best way to cut it down

    I used aviation snips. Wasn't a perfectly neat cut but nobody will ever see it, so I didn't really care. Took about 20 seconds.

    Upgrade to Pioneer DVD 6" receiver w/camera

    Nice. Did it make your stock speakers sound better? I recently installed a Pioneer AVH-2300NEX and the audio sounded much improved through the stock speakers.

    Anyone regret leveling their 1500? Why?

    Stock I was typically around 18 in the cluster. Now I’m usually between 13.5-14. Bilsteins at 2.1” and Toyo R/T tires in 275/65/20. I had the tires without the level for about 2 months and that alone brought the average down to around 15. Still don’t regret it. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Check Engine Light after iDatalink Maestro/Pioneer Headunit Install

    The light was gone when I started the truck this morning. Thanks for all the answers. And yes, at least with this radio there was an option to reset the check engine light. It wouldn’t let me do it while driving though and I forgot to try it again once parked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Check Engine Light after iDatalink Maestro/Pioneer Headunit Install

    I definitely turned it on without any of the harnesses in the console reconnected except for the radio. So will it just clear itself? I’ve driven three or four short trips today and it’s still on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Check Engine Light after iDatalink Maestro/Pioneer Headunit Install

    Just finished up installing a Pioneer AVH-2300NEX with the iDatalink Maestro and everything is working from what I can tell so far, but now I have a check engine light on. The vehicle data in the radio says the code is U1267 which from what I can tell online seems to be a generic fault. Any...

    OEM Backup Camera with Aftermarket Receiver Question

    I have a 2015 with Uconnect 5.0 that does not have backup camera or the sales code for one. My Uconnect is frozen for the second time in 9 months of ownership, and I was a few days away from buying the OEM camera and going to have it installed at the dealer but with the latest issue have begun...

    Radio Screen frozen dealer no help

    My 5.0 did this a few months back and I was able to update it myself and haven’t had a problem since. I did have an issue initially getting either my radio or the usb to recognize there was an update file on the USB drive. Then I re-read the instructions and figured out I had made a mistake...

    Fox Box Question (I searched before posting)

    Saw your post with pics in another thread, and it seems highly unlikely to me that they sent the box out in that condition. Still terrible, but I wouldn’t be willing to lose any more on the transaction than additional shipping expense if I were in their shoes either. Sent from my iPhone...

    Fox Box Question (I searched before posting)

    No, I had read on here that they weren’t very responsive, and also that it takes up to 3 weeks to receive the product after ordering, so I figured I’d get a quicker response here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fox Box Question (I searched before posting)

    I am considering the sealed 12" driver side only enclosure from Fox, but haven't been able to determine if I will lose to fold flat floor entirely, or just the driver side. Can anyone who has one of the driver side only boxes advise?

    How does AUTO 4WD work/what does it do?

    For all the complaints i've read, the Auto 4WD has not failed me yet and I have intentionally gotten myself "stuck" with the truck in 2WD just to test it. I buried the back tires almost to the axles and then stopped, switched to 4Auto and it instantly crawled out of the hole every time...

    Service ABS Light

    My issue has been resolved. I ended up having a loose wire at the ABS Module (I assume anyway, under the hood on the driver's side). They re-pinned the wire into the module and I have been problem free going on 6 months now.

    Best/Most attractive aggressive tire to fit on stock 2012 RAM

    For my money, either Toyo R/T or Nitto Trail Grappler. I went with the Toyo in 275/65/20 and kind of regret going larger in height while keeping stock width. Next set will definitely be wider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bilstein shop install price

    Finally had mine installed this past week. Paid a mechanic I know $150 and bought him lunch. It took him a little under 2.5 hours. Had we had access to a lift it would’ve knocked another 10 minutes off at least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2.1 or 2.8!!???

    Struggling with this same decision, but I am towing a trailer weighing at least 3k (often 5k+) 3 or 4 days a week for work. I don't really want to add a spacer in the rear, but will probably need to put air bags in the rear springs to help. I've had the Bilsteins sitting in my the garage for...

    uConnect 5.0 Keeps Rebooting

    I checked the uConnect site linked above and did have an available update. I downloaded it to a thumb drive and installed the update this morning and it appears to have resolved my issue. Thank you @matthewharrison Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
