    Can I tow it - Safely?

    Yeah I'm sure ---- I guess I should've said the tongue weight is 500# +/- unloaded and around 700# ready to roll. My apologies for not being more clear regarding that portion of info. And absolutely, sadly, if you're looking to tow big with a 1500 you'll be foregoing all the luxuries these...

    Can I tow it - Safely?

    I feel like I'm at the max for a 1500 Laramie ( which will be pretty comparable ). Our trailer weighs around 6500# fully loaded and ready to roll but no water in the tanks. Hitch weight is around 500# and the overall length, tip to tail is 29'. After two years of traveling around with it; I...

    New JBL GX328 dash speakers "crackling" (or something like that)

    You should be able to use the radio controls to atleast move all the audio to the front and one side or the other. This would allow you to listen to each side ( along with the center ) to see if it's coming from one side or the other or both. Could also be something as simple as a pc of...

    Graphics color advice wanted.

    My advice. A color in any shade and/or finish of gray or silver always looks good against blue. If I was you I'd go to your local auto paint supplier and get color chips and hold them up against your truck where you intend to place the graphic while out in the sun. Once you've found the color...

    New JBL GX328 dash speakers "crackling" (or something like that)

    IMHO one of three things... 1. You've got a loose connection either at the speaker lead or at the speakers themselves. 2. They were blown b4 you got them or blew after install. 3. They're being overdriven ( ie you're turning the volume up too far for them based on the power they are...

    Headlights

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier - I don't get on here nearly as often as I used too. I don't for sure recall the orientation of the cord after it was locked but I believe one side was like at say 2 and the other was 180* from it so maybe 8? Have you settled on something yet?

    Headlights

    Actually with these there is no need. The base is fixed and keyed just like the halogen, it only goes in the right way, that I could tell. I could take a picture of the spread against my garage door later if it helps?

    Headlights

    I just bought some Auxito Y13 9005 LEDS for my 16 w/ projectors. They are replacing some 4yr old Hikari. They are plenty bright enough for me. They were an improvement over the Hikari which is saying something because the Hikari were like someone turned the lights on in the room compared to...

    Diode Dynamics makes a bolt-in pair. Same locations. They are fantastic. I have a set on my 16 Laramie.

    Which speakers to use for audio signal source for rear aftermarket subwoofer amp.

    So obviously we could talk about this for probably hours and there are going to be a lot of opinions and certainly exceptions and variations to his rule BUT in general... A higher voltage does alot for you. 1. It keeps the noise floor to a minimum. 2. It has a huge impact on dynamic range. A...

    Which speakers to use for audio signal source for rear aftermarket subwoofer amp.

    Sounds like you've got some decisions to make lol As to your MTX experience, can't say for sure because I don't know all the deets but JIC you're not aware not all RCA outs are the same. The voltage they operate at can and does have a direct impact on the output. I've seen them as low as 1v...

    Which speakers to use for audio signal source for rear aftermarket subwoofer amp.

    I can't help you here other than to say if you're motivated give it a go. I would think you could do this in a fairly un-invasive way ( some jumper wires ) so that you could just test it and if it's not to your liking revert back to what you're already working with ( ??? ). My 2016 had the...

    Which speakers to use for audio signal source for rear aftermarket subwoofer amp.

    To answer your question though - I'd definitely agree and think you'd want to pull full signal then you can strip it of the frequencies you no longer want with your crossovers, active or passive. I don't know the specifics of all the various factory systems out there but I thought the rear...

    Which speakers to use for audio signal source for rear aftermarket subwoofer amp.

    Totally understand brother. Swapped my 8.4 factory alpine system out for a Pioneer floater but I knew I'd never be happy with the sound coming out of those pieces of OEM trash and only wanted to spend and go down that road one time... You do you and GL! PS ^ this isn't me trying to be snarky...

    Rear diff blew, locked up, snapped driveshaft

    So there was no warning something was amiss leading up to it? Growling, chattering, vibrations, feeling funny turning? That's pretty crazy and terribly unfortunate.

    Phone mount that is out of the way

    Gonna be the smart ass in the room and ask - if you do not need to access it, why not just leave it in your pocket? :dogpile: Just sayin... Otherwise you've gotten good advise on mounts above. :)

    Has anyone upgraded the factory inverter?

    Couldn't see it being any worse than the 1500 watts worth of amplifiers stuffed behind my backseat lol!

    What brand of brake pads do you prefer?

    My experience with the Wagner OEXs is no where near the rest of yours. They replaced a set of powerstop z36s. The powerstops left absolutely no brake dust on the rims for the life of the pad. The Wagner OEXs, however, have a been a complete nightmare for dust. I absolutely without doubt will...
