Note: if you have a 2017 SLT, then yes, you have a cabin air filter. I thought I was going to have to carve out a door for mine, but there it was, and just in time from the looks of it. New filter is to the right. Betting they put the old one in back in Warren, MI...

It’s ok. No change to performance or mpg. It’s my opinion it’s just for looks. Living in California my choices are very limited for a CAI so I gave it a try.

Yes it is! I was as pleasantly grateful to find that access cover when I opened mine up last fall, and it had to be the original...filled with cooties....

in-laws sold us their old trailer and will be bringing it here week after next. Just happened to find a CL Reese slider for $150. Went and picked it up and when loading it up, I realized why he had a chain hoist. Drove around a couple of day until could get to HF for an electric hoist. I had to fabricate some brackets to fir over the joists. I just need to put some cross braces to shore it up for S&Gs. Also picked up the in-bed wiring. I just need to wait until monday to order the rails and install kit. Just want to talk to someone in person before to make sure the Curt rails will work with the Reese slider. 20190503_184617.jpg

when you say paint correction... you mean correcting dings and scratches? yours looks badass and makes me think about doing the same.

No, they buff and polish all the swirls and light scratches out before coating it. Pretty much bring the paint back to when it was new. It’s kinda costly but totally worth it.

View attachment 164986 I added the Global Windows Down feature with AlphaOBD. It works great. Shame it wont do the rear doors too, but I will take it! Love that App!!!
Also, removed my SLT badge and replaced it with this one. This isn’t a “poser” badge as I believe I have enough performance mods to qualify!Thought it was pretty cool.

I’m jealous, that’s one of the main reasons I got the alpha but I can’t do it on a 2012. [emoji19]

Decided to make a set of rear adj upper/lower control arms. Decided to use sealed heim joints, and sealed heim rod ends. Open heim joints do not hold up to salt AT ALL! Sandblasted the 1 7/8" schedule 80 dom tubing, coped it today, and Tig welding them tomorrow.
Will post pics after welded, primed, and painted.

Hopefully you saw those actually kick off center a tiny bit and made a fixture based on the originals to accommodate the few degrees. (Saw someone make that mistake and laughed my a$$ off.)

That stinks...sorry. I had the feature on my 3rd Gen TL and I loved it. It would drop all 4 windows and the sunroof on command from the fob. Great in summer, since car was Nighthawk Black and hot leather seats. At least with the Ram I can vent some of the air out...

I believe its 2013+ but I cannot be certain. Others will chime in that are AlphaOBD gurus here. It will only drop the front windows on our trucks though. Just double tap unlock and hold the button on fob down on 2nd press until windows retract all the way if desired.
But you need AlphaOBD app and the little bluetooth MX plug in to program it.

Is this a factory option on any truck? I've never seen any trim level do it. Is it basically an Easter egg for our trucks?

Global Down? (Roll the front two windows down from the FOB)

Sure can in a 2014. Just did it to mine two days ago along with several other changes using the OBDLink MX and AlphaOBD software.
