What mods /best mods

[CincyCuda68]

I keep going back and forth on de-chroming my granite crystal laramie. Pics like this make me want the chrome gone. Your truck turned out great!!!

Thank you very much!

If it helps you, I bought new bumpers and grill that are paintable and still have the chrome, so if I wanted to go back all I would need to buy would be emblems.

I spent $750 on the paintable grill and bumpers so not too bad money wise.

I also have the damn chrome door handles, mirrors and tail lights too that I would have to deal with.

So the grill and bumpers were only $750? Did you paint yours body color or leave em black?

That's kind of where I'm headed. The grille is a work in progress gonna end up painted to match . Along with the door handles. Bumpers and step bars will get Matt black power coat. Already started removing all the emblems. Might just get two 392 emblems in

If I had the coin, I would do just about every engine mod that a member on here that goes by "theviking" did on his 6.4. Sounds like you already have a good start. I added a headache rack to mine to give it a little more cool factor. Plus the lights will help when I am hitching up trailers. I also bought the ICI Magnum step bars. I think they look cool but they rusted after two winters.

Grill is black and bumpers are body color. Damn didn’t think about the mirrors and handles.

We got the PC here with promo code PC5

The TazerRAM can adjust tire size and TPMS as well as many other features. Very easy to use and fairly inexpensive considering all the features!

Nick do you have to visit dealer with the TazerRAM ? Not sure if my local dealer would know what I was talking about lol

*tire psi setting requires dealer trip, so the vehicle can recognize the change. Disabling TPMS system altogether and turning off the warning symbol does NOT require the dealer.

One thing worth noting, is if you leave the tazer plugged in it will keep the low tire light from coming on.

No thanks let I wanted a Cummins I would of bought a Cummins

If it was a Cummins without all the emission **** and it was a free upgrade, then I would of gladly upgrade!

If you drop your tire pressure more than 20% below the TPMS Setpoint/threshold the TPMS warning lights up on your dash. Tazer does not let you adjust the setpoint. The dealer can (but somewon't) and they will charge you a crazy amount (in most cases). Buy AlfaOBD and OBDlink MX+, get the 4 digit pin from your dealer and then you can adjust the setpoint as many times as you want. Very helpful if you switch from one tire to another and they have different PSI ratings.

Fav mod was pasti dipping the red grill slats on my black 2015 with a nice black color. Second best mod was removing most of the massive graphics off the bed.

Tazer and AlfaOBD have been lots of fun to configure things the way I want them. Anxiously awaiting the next Tazer RAM version release.

White Knuckle sliders, Dethloff skip plate and Purple Cranium diff guards at both ends are mods I think I'll really appreciate at Moab in April/May.

35" Ridge Grapplers also a nice upgrade.

Tonneau cover and Weatherguard in-bed tool chest also very useful mods.

HID headlights are great for those late night runs in rural Texas.

how hard is it to operate the alpha obd ?

For me and the wife, we are both short, side rails!

For my old blind eyes driving at night on the lone deserted country highway, RC 20" light

To keep her clean, WeatherTech liners

To prevent fuel contamination, the Amazon specials on the DEF and Fuel caps.

Not hard at all if you go to the first page of the alfaOBD thread it has most of the info you ever need in the first post, with a google doc and links

 

[Moparfanatic21]

Put a Cummins in it?

Ew no

I debated with myself about replying here, simply because I would have a very hard time listing what my favorite mods are. The problem starts with my 2017 Ram 2500 being a regular cab, rare as a unicorn according to Ram. Worse, Ram allows only 2 trim levels and not allowing you to order most options (eg: leather seats; heated/ventilated seats; heated steering wheel, RA4, Sport Appearance pkg; etc....). So I went on a mission to build it my way. That lead to numerous mods and extensively using the Alpha OBD program to enable the many changes. I too debadged my Ram but kept one small badge, I replaced the chrome Cummins badge on the front fender with the blacked out version. Was going to change out the chrome bumpers as well. But after taking the badges off, replacing the chrome grille shell with a painted grille shell with a black stainless mesh insert, and blackened quad lights, the chrome bumpers grew on me, especially the rear one that I changed to a dual exhaust.

Juiced....THANKS.........really easy for the bumper mod. I bought a new bumper for a 1500 Hemi Ram which have the dual exhaust cutouts. You can find good prices on ebay. It basically bolts up. You do need to make one small change. The 2500's have the electrical trailer hitch plug on the passenger side of the rear license plate. 1500's have it on the driver's side of the license plate. You need to move the bracket over to the passenger side, easily done unbolting it. After the swap I went to a custom exhaust shop and had them bend up a dual stainless exhaust from the rear axle back to the bumper and installed the 5 inch tips that I had already bought.

[Lobster Poutine]
