    Anyone done an exhaust yet?

    Done a lot of exhausts on my previous Rams, have also done "exhaustive" research.( No pun intended, ok, maybe a little) While the manufacturers are optimistic about their horsepower claims, this is what I found. Found a guy here on Long Island who does a TON of performance exhaust work. On my...

    Has anyone seen this yet?

    I'm more of a "functional" guy. As Jus Cruisin said, would be nice to evacuate heat from the engine compartment. However, do I open up a can of worms regarding water draining on some of the electrical components, especially on the drivers side. After I mock up the prototype, maybe water jet a...

    Has anyone seen this yet?

    As I was driving to work the other day, came up alongside another '19. After the mutual thumbs up and telling each other "Nice Truck", he pulled away. I noticed his hood side vents were different. Instead of the 1500 5.7 Hemi badging, he had a black chrome surround with a black mesh in it. Was...

    Dealer is telling me I must pay MSRP if I special order

    Bullshit. Third truck I've ordered from my dealership. I paid about 45k for a 54k truck. AND, free oil changes, AND, many other amenities. Walk away from there, buy your truck from another dealer. I'm sure there's someone on this forum somewhat local to you that can hook you up with a more...

    Black, black, black and wait for it, more black.

    To those who traded, was your trade value good?

    Great question. After being with the same dealer for a long time, this is what I came away with. I realized that it's usually the used car manager that determines the value of your trade. While KBB and Carmax are great barometers, that guy is going to use Galves, a publication available to...

    What’s your honest opinion on the new 2019 look?

    Love my truck. After owning 2 4th Gens, I was ready for a change. Not being a chrome guy, I opted for black metallic with the blackout treatment. I feel FCA listened to us. I learned a long time ago, there really is no such thing as "bad taste". If you paint the outside of your house bright pink...

    If your thinking of a k&n cai system....

    I'm with you there. As most of my work with Mercury Racing deals with GM architecture, I've always been a Mopar guy. 68 Charger, SRT Magnum and 4 Ram trucks. Being faithful to the brand, there's TONS of power available with the current 5.7 Hemi. When I was done with my '15, I was pulling just...

    If your thinking of a k&n cai system....

    Before I got my 2019, I had a '15. I chose the S&B cold air intake because it drew more cold dense air away from the engine. Did a custom exhaust (not store bought) which located the Dynaflow further back for improved scavenging. Increased the diameter of the tubes by another 1/4", removed the...

    Show them off! Cool stickers, decals, or livery’s you’ve added!

    Have to show this one. 5th Ram, always the first sticker to go on the back window.

    Front splitter deployment at 35 mph.

    Right now the 5th Gen has the lowest Cd of any other truck on the market. To improve it further, the front splitter deploys at 35 mph to reduce drag even further. Similar to McLaren and Porsche, it's called active aero. If you look under the front bumper, you can see it along with the actuators...

    Front splitter deployment at 35 mph.

    Being a marine mechanic for almost 30 some odd years, I can be a little technical at times. Anyway, I'm curious about the splitter deployment. Was thinking about rigging a go pro over the front bumper and posting a vid of it coming down. Then I thought, hey I have a Snap-On Ethos scanner. (Yes...

    Those with 2019 BigHorns, post them up.

    Maybe Drk, but I don't leak, squeal went away, and I get nothing but thumbs up from a lot of 4th Gen guys. Truck is all that I expected. Did I roll the dice? Absolutely. However, my experience with Dodge, and then FCA always made it right, hence, my brand loyalty. Now my Dodge Magnum SRT8 was a...

    First Mechanical Issue On My 5th Gen.(not terrible)

    You know when you're commuting and rolling up to a light with other vehicles around you and you hear that brake squeal? Been hearing that for two weeks, thinking that it HAS to be some other jerk who's been putting off pad replacement. Anyway, it's me. Driving home tonight, no other cars...

    Is it me ???

    Lol. Black tips. Spoke to my dealer this morning, as well as the FCA Rep. Seems that there are discrepancies between the stickers/ orders and the actual trucks. I'm confident that they'll make it right. In discussions now with them as my Marina where I work is looking to purchase a 2500 Cummins...

    Just ordered a Laramie Blackout

    Congrats on the new truck. Just picked up my Bighorn with the blackout package. First of all, the blackout is stunning. Second, without sounding derogatory towards FCA, I think we're all rolling the dice a little bit with the orders. Ordered my truck in January, got it a month ago. Ordering at...
