    Tail light socket now parking light out.

    2016 1500 incandescent tail lights. I had a passenger rear signal light go out. I had been getting warnings for months but it had always worked. Pulled the bulb and it was in fact the socket going bad. Looked kind of burned/smoked as well. Picked up a new (probably Chinese) socket and put some...

    Favorite OEM 20" Wheels

    I have 17" wheels. 7 inches wide. Not many options for taller tires. I like the look of the 20x9 wheels with the taller tires. And lots more options as well. The reason I want OEM wheels is for replacement ease. I have had custom wheels get damages for 1 reason or another only to find out they...

    How do I kill this XM add!

    Every morning I get in my truck and XM radio is on pimping itself. I don't want it. I don't want to hear it. How in the HELL do I kill this? It's a 16 express quad with I think the 5.0 radio. I am debating on a single shot to the head. Execution style.

    Another Premium cluster programming hours?

    I am getting a premium cluster with a few more miles on it then my truck has. I can wait to match the mileage no problem. The question is about idle and running hours. I think somewhere I read through the hundreds of posts about this upgrade, that the cluster picks up the hours from the PCM. Is...

    Oh Jesus bars

    I let my wife drive the truck the other day. As usual when she drives, I grabbed for the OH JESUS bar. NOTHING. Just that fool grab handle on the front pillar. Has anyone ever added a proper Oh Jesus bar to these cabs?

    Dial a shift pecularity

    For the most part, the dial a shift seems pretty straight forward. But yesterday I was waiting at a light on a slight downhill incline. I dialed it into neutral as I have been doing all my life on other vehicles including standard transmission models. The light changes. I let off the brake and...

    There is a lifted sub and a lowered sub but no standard sub so here it is. My truck has 25000 miles or so. Rides real nice. Don't need it leveled, lifted, or lowered. I would like to investigate a better road ride. I see off road shocks but is there anything for a 4 wheel drive ram to...

    2016 Ram 1500 quad stock exhaust question

    I was just under my new to me truck installing nerf bars. I noticed a long straight run of exhaust tube that appeared to be aluminum. I was suspended by rusty steel brackets. I could see pitted corrosion on the aluminum from the whole dissimilar metals thing. Did I really see that? Doesn't seem...

    I found a reasonably priced leer cap fairly local to me. https://newhaven.craigslist.org/pts/d/caps-truck/6692755616.html I wonder what I need to bring to install this thing. Do the later model caps have a rubber gasket built in? Do I need to remove my rail caps? The seller does not understand...
