    4th Gen Aggressive Suburban Highway-Warrior Build? (Tires/Wheels/Lift/Exhaust)

    Many thanks for the info/suggestions, Guys! Soooooo I pulled the trigger and the parts are in transit right now... I made a few last minute modifications and ordered the 4" SST with the rear 5100 Bilsteins, along with two additional 5100 Bilsteins for the front, just to match shocks all around...

    4th Gen Aggressive Suburban Highway-Warrior Build? (Tires/Wheels/Lift/Exhaust)

    Hi All! I drive a 2018 RAM 1500 4WD 5.7 Hemi Night-Edition Sport (Granite Crystal) (Sport hood), 3.21 axel-ratio with 20X8 stock black wheels and some bald 275/60R20 stock tires. I'm 5 years into my ownership and figure that if I'm going to mod/outfit my truck, now is the time to do it. I'm...

    Screen freezes constantly after Sirius XM subscription ended

    Hi Jennifer, Thanks for reaching out. Just called my dealership and they confirmed some faultiness with some of the RAM radios - they mentioned that the radios usually need to be replaced so I have an appointment for a diagnostic. The radio is under the warranty period so hopefully all will...

    Screen freezes constantly after Sirius XM subscription ended

    Hi All, I bought a 2018 1500 Night Edition and part of the package was 1 year free subscription to Sirius XM. As I didn't subscribe afterwards, on the anniversary of buying my truck, they cut the service - I was driving when it happened. The screen went garbled and froze soon after - after a...

    Started a case with RAM today - lemon law??

    I have a 2018 1500 Sport with the leather seat upgrade and my heated/cooled seats don't get very warm or cool. I feel the effect, but it's nowhere near as dramatic a change as my wife's 2010 Ford Fusion leather seats with heating. I just wrote it off as being deadened by the leather or the...

    Winter tires - Nokian LT2/R2

    Hi guys, Winter officially hit Eastern Ontario, Canada, and I'm motivated to get some "snowies" now that I've handled rust-proofing and tonneau cover. I like the Nokian brand ( have loved their tires on my sedan ) and was hoping to get a set for the truck. I drive a 2018 Night Edition Sport...

    Would you buy a 2018 this month or wait for a 2019 in spring?

    I agree, might as well wait since we're less than 2 months out...whether you get a 2018/2019 will become clear when you see the new look and price tag. I ordered a 2018 two months ago because I needed a vehicle before the Winter sank its fangs and, because, interested as I was in the 2019, I...

    Masterseal paint protector for 2018 RAM 1500

    Hi Guys, I've had my 2018 RAM 1500 for about a week and a half and I'm prepping it for winter. I've already taken it in for Krown rustproofing and noticed that my local Krown dealer offers a Masterseal paint protection service for $200. Thoughts on this - will the Masterseal paint protector...

    New 2018 Night Edition

    Sweet truck! I factory ordered my Granite 2018 Night Edition and it just came in last week. Definitely a rare beast on the roads - if I ever see the granite crystal with black RAM on the back, it's usually a Rebel. Enjoy the new truck!

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Hi All, So I went through the wringer and came out the other side, unscathed thanks to you all. The business manager's meeting ended up being lighter than I expected, especially after I started drilling into specifics regarding their warranties vs FCAs. He didn't try to sell much after...

    Ram Box- yes or no?

    Good question, and one I found myself pondering recently. I ordered my 2018 RAM 1500 Night Edition last month and I was faced with the same decision. I chose the 5'7" bed as I don't require my truck for work/hauling stuff often ( and the longer one wouldn't fit in my garage ) and after much...

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Thanks, guys! As always, great information :) Going in to pick it up today! I've already done an two inspections, a test-drive, and have spoken with the Business Manager - all good, no extra warranties, rust-proofing, or charges. I didn't react in-time to prevent the detailing, so I'll...

    Tonneau Covers: Mopar hard folding vs BakFlip?

    Thanks, guys. Hmm...ok, so BakFlip may not be the obvious choice here. More research needed then. Thanks for sharing!

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Update: So I'm back home, without the truck. They found it, in their KIA garage. We moved on to the inspection: 1. Checklist of Options - Everything there. I don't know how to verify if the Anti-spin Differential is there, but I assume it is. If anyone knows how to test its presence...

    I have been waiting for over 30 mins for them to bring it out front...they can't find it. Off to a good start... Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Thanks again for the advice here, guys. I'm heading in to do my inspection in a half-hour. Bringing my dad with me who's an a lifelong Chrysler/Dodge man. We'll give it a close inspection and hopefully all goes well. I'll post anything in real-time during the inspection if I find/hear/feel...

    Tonneau Covers: Mopar hard folding vs BakFlip?

    Hi All, I'm heading into the dealership to (hopefully) pick up my RAM 1500 today. If there was a time to try and wheel'n'deal for a Mopar hard folding cover, it would likely be today, though I find precious little review info on the cover, it's features, etc. BakFlip, on the other hand...

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    I have a Krown dealer in my hometown, about 25 mins away so that is convenient. I'll call them today for a quote. Sorry for the junior question - what would a pant defect look like? A scratch? Or an obvious mismatch or thinning of some paint? Are these usually obvious to spot? Does anyone...

    Thanks, guys! The truck is supposed to arrive by Halloween so I'll likely be looking at it by Wed - Thurs. Will keep you posted! Thanks again, Yak Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Thanks, Guys! Some really helpful stuff here - has me filled with a lot more confidence than I had this morning. So my takeaways are: - Don't get muscled into paying for something they've "already done" which I didn't agree to (VIN etching, etc.) - I should still be OK if I buy no...

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Thanks guys, this is AWESOME advice!! Really stoked to hear all this because I know they'll be trying to screw me at every turn and I also know the best defence is knowledge, preparation, and a firm will. I already signed a document in order to make the custom order and put $500 down payment...

    RAM almost here - things to watch out for during the Business Managers meeting?

    Thanks, that's really helpful advice! Glad to know I can decide on it later. I don't usually like to "go on a salesman's word" and pay money on the spot - I like to do some research before paying any large sum of money. Thanks again!
