New to the Ram Family and I’ve had my truck for about two months now and finally want to make my first post! Here is my new (to me) 14’ 1500 5.7 66k fully loaded. Now to start my list of questions! Please feel free to respond if you have any info that may seem helpful!
1. I have the LED package but my right rear has 3 lights out and I have the annoying dash message, is there a fix for these (I work with HV, LV, and do a lot of wiring for my job so I’m not afraid to solder or test with DMM to replace resistors) or should I just buy new ones? If I did buy new I was looking at the Morimoto’s on AT. P.S. I should add that it only happens when I use my turn signal for more that 20-30 seconds. If I don’t use my turn signal all the lights will stay on which leads me to believe that a resistor is blown but I’m not sure if anybody has come across this resister or knows the location of the resistors for the LED taillights. If I have to crack them I'll probably lean closer to replace.
2. Is there any walk through or list of what needs to be done to replace the air suspension with a lift kit? Mine works perfectly but this is my daily now and would prefer something a little beefier since I’ve seen plenty of bags fail in my time (but don’t know the failure rate of these bags specifically). If you did swap your bags or know what kit I should use that would have all the parts that'd be awesome!
3. This is WAY in the future but for anyone that’s done a 6.2 swap, did you keep the 4x4 capability or did you lose that because you had to use the 6.2 transmission as well? Maybe any AM bell housing? I plan to own this truck for a long time so this would definitely be a project of mine. Any write ups on the swap or parts list?
4. Also way in the future but has anyone swapped the diff in the front for an LSD or E-Locker and how do you like it? I have the rear LSD with 3.29 gears and I really like it but Ive heard the complaints. I won’t be towing much except for when I get a little pontoon or small tear drop camper if that. I'd like more offroad capability.
5. Did anyone with the 11 speaker system swap it out? I’m a JL guy so it’s hard having alpine. What'd you go with and what’s your amp placement like. What did you fit in the little roof speakers?
6. I plan to have a All-weather/Offroad setup with tires and rims. My thinking is to use the offroads only when I plan to do 4x4 or bad weather which where I live is common in the fall/winter. I do a lot of freeway driving for work hence why I would like a all-weather road set as well. What kind of road setups do you guys have? For offroad I'd definitely be looking at rims and tires. Leaning towards some Black Rhino 17" with 37x12.
Thanks for any help and info in advance! Switched over from a 12’ Civic and I’ll never look back! I’m in love with this baby!
