    Well, she’s gone

    After 5.5 years and nearly 120k miles, the Ram is gone. I will say, it has been one of the best vehicles I’ve had from a comfort standpoint and from a reliability standpoint. When the time comes for another truck, I won’t hesitate to come back to a Ram. A few months ago, we sold our house and...

    A fool and his money…..

    Are inevitably soon departed. I pass this off-road park every day on my way to and from work, and have plenty of redneck friends that hang out there with their toys. It’s about a minute from my job. Some people are just really stupid...

    Center console top

    @AllMoparParts.com I’m looking to replace my center console top to match the seat covers I bought. I have a lone star with the floor console with the dark grey top. I’d like to replace it with a black top. Can you point me in the right direction? Truck is a 2017 1500 crew cab lone star. This...

    Header install - Questions

    So, after determining the tick I was hearing was from a broken manifold bolt and not the infamous hemi tick, I decided to go ahead and get a set of shorty headers as opposed to trying to mess around with having the OEM manifolds reworked. If I'm going to go as far as taking them out, I might as...

    PAC AP4-CH41 sub level control knob

    My PAC AP4-CH41 showed up today for my 2017 1500 and I have a question. I want to mount the control knob just below the gear selector (I have a 2wd, so just a blank plate there). I can’t for the life of me figure out how to mount it. There’s a post with a couple of nuts that look like they...

    Another tire question

    Because, there's just not enough tire threads floating around yet, lol. A couple of years ago (roughly 50k miles ago) I bought a set of 285/60 20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers after I buried my truck on the beach with the stock tires (2wd). Of course, I have not been back to the beach since, or off...

    New sub box build coming

    So, I upgraded the OeM alpine sub to a Kicker Comp 8” shallow mount and installed a Kicker Key 500.1 to run it. While it is miles better than the OEM sub, this is my first ever 8” sub (and first junk box as the OEM is), and it’s just not enough. I’ve decided to build my first fiberglass box and...

    Looking to replace shocks

    I'm sitting at 72,000 miles in my 2017 1500 2wd and thinking I probably need to replace my OEM shocks. It's riding pretty rough, and I have attributed it to the E rated Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but I think it is more related to the shocks as I dont recall it being this bad when I had the tires...

    Alpine system speaker upgrade

    So, a couple of months back, I pulled the alpine sub and replaced it with a Kicker shallow mount 8” sub. I covered most of the interior and exterior of the OeM box with dynomat and stuffed some polyfill in it. It was a bit better than stock originally, but as time has gone on, it is now far...

    Weird AC problem

    So, the other day, my ac started randomly acting strange. I had it on "LO" temp setting and fan on high speed (it is south Texas and hot). All was well, and suddenly it seemed as though the compressor went out (air temp coming out of the vents went up a bit) and the fan speed cut in half. It...

    Kicker shallow mount 8" sub in factory box

    I know a lot of people upgrade to the Pioneer sub in the stock box from the alpine system. Unfortunately, I cannot find one locally. However, I do have a place that sells the Kicker Comp shallow mount sub. Both are 2 ohm DVC subs. The Kicker has sightly less sensitivity vs the pioneer (81.8 db...

    Alpine Sub box

    I'm just thinking out loud here, and am sure I am missing something that someone will correct me on. From everything I can determine, the box is the weak link with the alpine system. I assume that is because it is made from thin HDPE and flexes a ton. Has anyone taken the box out and covered it...

    Retrofitting TYC Projectors

    So, I've given up on my Alpharex gen 1 headlights officially. They're off the truck and in the box, and I will most likely be selling them soon (along with 2 sets of HID bulbs, Innovited 35w ballasts, a pair of Katana LEDs and a pair of Hikari Ultra LEDs). I have been toying with the idea of...

    TYC Projectors question

    Does anyone know if the cutoff shield in the TYC projectors drops when the highs are switched on? Or if they are fixed and only the high beam bulb illuminates? from my understanding of the OEM projectors, if you push the stalk forward the shield drops and the high be also comes on. If you pull...

    Morimoto HID Relay Harness Question

    This may be an obvious answer, but I still feel the need to ask the question. Will the 2015+ Mopar Harness from Morimoto work on a 2014 ram? I just pulled my TYC Projectors and installed the Alpharex 2019 style. I am going to give the TYC to a buddy of mine who has a 2014. I have a full HID...

    HID question

    I’ve searched and couldn’t find a concrete answer on google or here, so figured I would pose the question. my ballast on my Morimoto went out last week (3rd one in 2 years). I yanked the full system out (including g harness) and put a set of silverstar ultras in my projectors. They suck, but...

    Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 LED

    I've read the original 2stroke LEDs were rather not great. I've searched high and low, and cannot find any real information from user reviews regarding the 2.0 versions. Does anyone have any insight into them? I currently have TYC projectors with a 5500k HID setup in them (Morimoto). I've...

    Trading wheels - will it effect resale value?

    So, I have a friend who is taking a job in England and will be selling his truck in the next few weeks. He has a 2015 1500 Laramie with the 20x9 oem wheels. My truck is a 2017 1500 Lone Star with the 20x8 oem wheels. I'm wanting to swap his wheels for mine (keep my tires, have a shop swap...

    Looking at new tires, need some opinions

    I'm getting ready to get some new tires for my 17 2wd 1500, and would like some opinions. I dont do any real off roading (hence the 2wd), but I do go camping quite a bit and I did get stuck on the beach a few weeks ago in some soft sand. I know tires alone wont prevent that, but it could help...

    2017 2wd options

    I'm planning to get some new wheels and tires, and my end up raising the truck a little to accommodate them. What I'm currently looking at is 20 x 9 wheels with either 0 or +12 offset and 33x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Ideally, I'd want to leave it at the stock height if they'll fit (saw a...

    Retrofit projectors

    I have a set of TYC projectors currently with Morimoto 5000k 35w HID in them. Output is far better than the OEM quads, but I’m all for better. Is there a projector that is a direct bolt in replacement for the projectors in the TYC (or OEM) projectors? Im sure I would have to get different...

    HID wiring information

    I finally got everything for my HID install and want to make sure I wore it up right the first time. 2017 1500 2013-2014 Tyco Projectors Morimoto 15+ Mopar harness Adapters for the headlights Box also came with 9006 extensions. I reckon I can use these if needed to get the resistors to a safe...

    Factory tint

    Has anyone measured the factory tint on the front and rear door windows? I’ve read numbers all over the place in the back ranging from 18% to 35%, and on the front anywhere from 80% to 96%. I cant imagine there’s THAT much variance. Can anyone confirm numbers? Trying to figure out options for...

    OEM Projector replacements

    I’m thinking about getting a set of OEM style projectors and some HIDs for my 17 Lone Star (stock quads). A lot of people seem to have high praises for the TYC, but so far I’ve only been able to find them listed specifically for the 13-14. Would these work on a 17? If not, can someone elaborate...
