For you Hemi Owners:

6.4L Air Filter upgrade(Mopar 68190705AA) for $33. Same size as the stocker just a half inch thicker so you get increased surface area. Freer flowing for you perf guys and increased cleaning for you offroader/dust guys.

Edit: you can use your brand of choice, its just the 6.4L engine airfilter, I just happen to prefer the Mopar due the the number of pleats vs. some of the aftermarket ones.
Thanks for posting this! Would you happen to know the CFM difference in flow?

Just got my AJT Design clear shifter and red aluminum knob trim. Loving the look and that shifter is massive and solid. Ordered a red aluminum to see if its too much (yeah, right) red, but really liking the AJT with the red set screws.
Red shifter due tomorrow, 52c429cbbeea2dca7cd2d5d1f892fd4e.jpg

Got some cheap, round LEDs off amazon. Tucked them into my grille and wired the up as running lights.

Im looking to add something exactly like that to my lower valance... There already spots there to drill out and everything. This guy mounted 9 of them across his valance and it looks bright as S__ !
I just want 3 amber leds like yours. Where did you tie into your running lights?

AlfaOBD app and the BAFX OBDII BT adapter. This combination keeps the total cost under the $100 ceiling and best of all, it works!!

AlfaOBD is a great tool.

I want this mod but can’t decide on color... I’m going with green accents for my truck but not sure if a black dial with green screws would be the best choice. I think the dial like yours would stand out better and not be confusing if say my wife was gonna drive my truck:p.

yours looks great:D

No clue there. But with 50% more surface area I gotta believe its a significant increase in CFM flow. Considering the filters are both around the same cost, to me its a no brainer even if the true gains are only a little more cfm and little more dust filtering longetivity.

Looks great... I know what my next mod is:D

They are nice but not cheap!! Made from billet aluminum so really solid, feels waaaay beefier in reaching for it.

Sweet!!! Thanks... My dealership told me i would have to replace the whole thing to replace the dial... ********.. Just want me to spend the money for an whole new box.
Not “********,” it’s probably sold as a whole part and not available separately.

I tied mine into a spare fuse that's hot only while the ignition is switched on. Not sure about other years but on my 19 warlock it's fuse 101 under the hood.

Not really under $100 but I paid $130 shipping included for a Spectre CAI on sale. It's 50 state legal and since my Ram has the Pentastar, we don't have much choice for CAI. It's only K&N, Mopar (both running north of $300) and Spectre. So far so good.1e456ffd13811c809a9438a39f21fd12.jpg
