    Wow, a 2020 single cab Express with a factory center console.

    I didn't even know you could get one. It's weird, it's a 3.6L, no upgraded gauges or 8.4, yet it has a center console. That's odd. I can't edit the title, I meant center console. https://www.billluke.com/inventory/new-2020-ram-1500-classic-express-4x2-regular-cab-3c6jr6ag6lg290261

    Is there anyway to turn the gauge cluster lights off..

    when the truck is off and in ACC? I hate listening to the stereo with the truck off and having the stupid gauge cluster stay on. I don't even know why it does that. I also hate the 10 minute timer when the truck is off, and not in AAC. With my Magnum I can change the timer to never shut off, but...

    I noticed something lame about Gen 5 Rams.

    While I was at the dealer getting my oil changed, I noticed only the Limited's had rear wheel well liners, no other trim levels did. That looks real shitty without it. Gen 4's don't leave everything completely exposed. Come on, even on $50k+ trucks they don't have it if they aren't a Limited...

    Single cabs galore at the dealership today.

    I was having my oil changed at Bill Luke in Phoenix, and they had tons of single cabs, including 1 or 2 longs beds. Most, but not all were Hemis, but not a single one had the 8.4 and better gauge cluster. I can't figure out why almost none do. It's only like a $695 option. Mine is one of the...

    For those with the Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX...

    And I know a few of you guys have them. I'm looking at getting one too, as the stock 8.4" just isn't cutting it as far as the best sound quality. The lowest bass is clearly removed from it with no way to fix it. My questions are do you still like it? Is the sound quality noticeably better than...

    The Kicker Key "Kicker EQ".

    It's not clear at all from Kicker or any review I've seen what this is exactly. If you're like me, you assumed it's the auto tune eq, because you can turn it on or off via a dip switch right next to the time alignment dip switch which you can also turn on or off. It's not. After at least 6 or 7...

    Can these marks on the 8.4 screen be polished out?

    I'm not sure how this happened, but it was clearly while installing the Kicker amp, and running the t-harness. It's only visible in certain light and the pic looks worse than it does in person, it looks more like the spot circled in red. Is that some coating scratched, because I don't feel...

    How is the signal from the backup camera connected to the 8.4 base?

    After I installed the t-harness to connect my Audio Control LC2i Pro and Kicker Key, everything is working as it should, but my backup camera is either displaying a blue screen only, or a very bad intermittent image. Is it in the main bulk head that connected to the radio, or one of the...

    Buying equipment for the audio overhaul.

    I've heard a lot worse, but I've heard and owned a lot better than the basic factory 6 speaker 8.4" Ram setup. This is going in a 2019 single cab. I've ordered the following: JL Audio ACS112LG-TW1 which is a sealed enclosure with a 400 watt built in amp...

    I was tired of looking at the upper cubby hole.

    To me, it looked like the door was missing or something. It looked incomplete, and I never used it because stuff wouldn't probably stay in it, and it would look dumb anyway, so I bought an upper glove box assembly. I think it looks a lot better. I can't start car work without a beer, hence the...

    I thought this pic looked pretty cool.

    I was touching up some little rock chips on the front bumper and grill of the Ram with a Dr Color Chips kit, and decided to take this picture. I thought it looked cool with the Magnum Hemi just barely visible too. Just thought I'd post it up, I mean we all like pictures right?

    Not liking the Borla Pro XS, Looking at a Volant catback, same as the Corsa 14405.

    I had a Borla Pro XS installed last Saturday, and to be honest, I'm not really digging it very much. I only like the sound of it at WOT, not really any other time. They didn't install it correctly, they used the wrong clamps in the wrong spots, and I'm getting it redone Friday. If it still...

    Aren't these exhaust clamps in the wrong spots?

    I'm pretty sure the wide 3" ID to 3" OD clamp belongs on the extension pipe to factory pipe, and the single band clamp belongs on the muffler (Borla Pro XS) to extension pipe since the muffler can clamp tight because of the slits, vs two solid pipes that need that wide clamp to seal properly. I...

    Best was to refinace my loan.

    I bought my truck 3 months ago. When I did, I had my own financing, but the dealer said if I financed through FCA, I'd get an additional $1000 discount off the price of the truck. Long story short, even at the FCA's 2 point higher interest rate, if I refinanced at 4 months (their claim I had to...

    I installed my color matched mirrors tonight.

    They look good with my color matched door handles. Friday I'll activate the puddle lights and turn signals with the AlphaODB.

    I got the leather wrapped steering wheel and audio controls installed.

    This actually wasn't all that hard to do. I had the Lisle airbag removal tool, and that made removing the airbag very easy. I didn't even need a puller to get the steering wheel off. I was initially alarmed by how hard the center bolt was to remove, as I wasn't sure that was normal, but the...

    Is the center steering wheel bolt normally hard to turn to take it out?

    I'm going to swap my steering wheel and add the audio control. I trying to take the center steering wheel bolt out, and it is moving, but it seems pretty hard to turn. Is there some sort adhesive on it, or should it be easy to turn to remove it?

    Would this look retarded?

    If I bought the black A and B pillars, but left the headliner and everything else above the pillars tan? I really prefer the black interior, but at this time I don't feel like taking the headliner down.

    How much more fender gap in the rear is typical for a Ram?

    I'm considering 2" lower springs just for the rear of mine. Mine measured roughly 1.75" higher in the back, and most 2" lowering springs give less on single cabs, so I might be fine. Some trucks to me look WAY higher in the back. What is typical for single cabs?

    I hate the urethane steering wheel

    My hands always feel almost sweaty on it, it sucks, so I ordered a brand new OEM leather wrapped steering wheel. I'm going to be adding the audio controls, and just got the kit today, so I figured I may as well swap the wheel while doing it. I probably won't have the steering wheel for a week or...

    I swapped my tri-fold bed cover for a roll up.

    I don't mess with the cover often, so neither makes or breaks the choice in that regard, but I do very much like the low profile of the roll up. So, I swapped my Tyger tri-fold for a Gator roll up today. I like the look of the roll up by a decent margin. Tyger tri-fold: Gator roll up:

    Black Ram head or chrome Mopar center caps?

    I ordered and received some chrome Mopar center caps. I can't decide whether I like them more or the stock black Ram head one. I plan to keep the silver lug nuts either way. What is the forum consensus?

    Why is this steering wheel audio control kit so cheap?

    I am considering adding this to my truck, but most places list the kit at around $147. This seems to be the exact kit, but is only $46 with a list price of $68. Am I missing something here, because I don't understand why this one is so much cheaper. I don't think it should cost $150, but many...

    Which Borla is closer to the Mopar exhaust?

    I'm assuming the "Touring" is closer than the type S. And is the Mopar, which sounds great, worth roughly $200 more than the Borla cat back? I want a little louder, deeper tone, with zero drone.

    Gen 5 Ram replica wheels on a Gen 4.

    I used Paint 3d, to see what these Gen 5 wheels would look like on my truck in 22", I just guessed on what would look like 22's. They do make replica wheels in this design with the proper bolt pattern for the Gen 4's. What do you guys think?
