    Ham Antenna Mount

    I used the DG2ANTPF from Comet Antenna: https://cometantenna.com/amateur-radio/no-holes-mobile-mounts/antenna-mounts-and-brackets/ It works, but I am not 100% satisfied. It moves a little too much (drive thru car wash is not your friend), and the bolt hole is too soft and strips easily. I...

    Tell me why I shouldnt upgrade to a PW

    One other thought. I went from a 2006 1500 Sport that I absolutely loved until I wrecked it. I thought it was pretty good off road and have taken it to places that I probably shouldn't have.... but the Powerwagon is so much better off road that I don't hesitate going places that I was...

    Replacement grill ideas?

    Yes, I have been looking locally on craigslist as well as here on the forum. I didn't know about offerup, so I have looked there tonight as well. I think I would prefer to find a grill with the honeycomb inserts, but I also haven't yet taken the time to see if my grill frame is damaged. All I am...

    Replacement grill ideas?

    Gents, I took a bird strike during a hunting trip in Montana a few weeks ago. Damn prairie hen busted out a good sized chunk of the honeycomb on my grill. I am looking a several different options, but would like to see what others have done. I'm inclined to try to find a replacement honeycomb...

    Tell me why I shouldnt upgrade to a PW

    Mine is the Tradesman with the Powerwagon option. Love it, and drive it nearly every day. It tows my 30ft travel trailer just fine. In fact I towed it from Nevada to Idaho a few months ago and it was just fine. I have added quite a few things to mine to get it closer to a true Powerwagon and I...

    Diff fluids update page 2

    The factory installed gaskets are reusable. I didn't change mine this time, but may get new for the next change. And yes, about 3 in the front diff, and 4 in the rear.

    Roof rack with bed cap ideas

    I have an ARE, and it's ok, but for the money I paid I think the old Raider shell I had on my 1500 was a much better shell. Would I buy another? Not sure. I would definitely look at Snug Top or Leer much closer before I would buy another ARE. --md

    quad headlights...silver vs black

    I swapped mine with the black OEM quads. I didn't notice any change in the headlight output. That said, I did replace the bulbs recently with LED bulbs and got a significant improvement over the quads with halogen bulbs. --md

    2019 Winch Controller

    I would bet money you can find a replacement from Warn for less. The trick is figuring out which one is compatible. https://www.summitracing.com/search?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=Warn%20Winch%20Controllers --md

    Thinking of a 2020 Power Wagon

    Same as any other 2018 Power Wagon. It pulls my travel trailer (6600lb) with no issues. I don't see myself ever getting close to 10k. And with the shell on the back, I don't usually put much weight in the back (other than fire gear). --md

    Thinking of a 2020 Power Wagon

    Yes, you can. It's not a bad way to go, but for what I spent outfitting mine the way I want it, I could have basically purchased a base Power Wagon. I think I did ok with my 2018 Tradesman with the Power Wagon option, but my friend purchased a 2020 Power Wagon for not much more.... and by the...

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    Oh, and one other thing.... Doesn't anyone know which setting in AlfaOBD allows me to turn on the backup camera button in the UAS? I have driven other vehicles with UAQ radios and have seen the backup camera button and been able to turn on the camera while driving. --md

    AlfaOBD

    I wouldn't recommend it. I used a cheap one to make some changes and it changed other things I didn't want changed. The recommended dongle works much better. --md

    AlfaOBD

    I had mine done at the dealer.... It's basically a reflash of the BCM to what the factory settings were. It helps that I am friends with my mechanic. Much faster than trying to figure out what was set incorrectly. --md

    How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

    My 68331635 is scheduled for delivery today. I'm going to start working on that project as soon as the bezel arrives (hopefully friday). Many thanks to Mike for the help getting all the parts I needed.

    Front Bumper Adjustment

    Your post made me go look at my 2018 again. The front bumper is back about 1/2" on the drivers side and I just noticed about the same on the rear passenger side. It's enough to bug me, so I will get under there and see if I can adjust them. --md
