    HID issue

    Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted here! My HID ballast went on me a week ago. The company I ordered from is no longer selling retail. They can get me a new ballast for $70, but it has no warranty. I decided to go cheap and order some $30 amazon 55w ballasts. I installed it today...

    Air suspension leveling links problem

    So I made my own leveling links. My issue is that no matter what I do, I can't make the drivers side come up higher than 38". The passengers side wheel well is 38.5, which is dead level with the 2 rear wheel wells. Any tips from people who have done this? Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

    Tailgate didn't latch properly, came down on a trailer jack while driving.

    Well I went to pick a new sled up a few weeks ago. I put it on the trailer and grabbed a couple ratchet straps out of the box on the truck. I close the tailgate and it starts coming back down. I slam it shut and pull on it, all is good. We run into town for breakfast. Somewhere on the way the...

    My biggest hatred of the Ram trucks

    I'm a sales rep and I travel a bit for work. Whoever at Ram decided that these shitty hooks would be suitable should be kicked in the head. I usually have a passenger, so I can only use one hook. I have a hard time getting 2 suits and a couple dress shirts hung up! One usually falls off and gets...

    Buyer Beware -2KoolPerformance

    Hey guys! I'm in the middle of buying some AMP steps for my truck. Came across this prick, thought I'd share this. They decided to insult me because I did some shopping around. They were actually the last place I called. The first picture is my first email to them. Notice the part number in...

    2016 battery change, or just ecodiesel?

    4 months before I sold my 2014 Hemi I put a $260 battery in, figuring I'd put it in my new truck. Then I spent $150 on a battery to put in my truck when I traded it in. Well surprise my expensive battery doesn't fit in the new truck. That was pretty disappointing. Does anyone know if it's just...

    Air Ride Picture Thread

    Thought this might be a cool idea for a thread! Doesnt matter what kind of airbags you have. If you load the truck up, either in the box, or put a trailer on back, post up a pic showing it off! This would be a good place for people to look when deciding on what air bag system to get. With...

    Scratched Guage - should I have it fixed?

    I picked my new truck up and noticed on the plastic screen in front of the gauges looked like it had dust lines on it. I didn't think anything of it at the time, figuring it was just dust. A couple days later I go to clean the "dust" off and fine out they're actually scratches. The bottom one is...

    OEM Air Ride vs Coils towing

    I went with the 4 corner air suspension on my new truck, as did my dad. Today he pulled our tractor over to the farm he and my mom purchased. I figured I'd compare the air suspension to the Coils I had in my 2014. My guess is that the tongue weight is in between 1000-1200 lbs. Total weight...

    Air Suspension "Clunk"

    Hey guys My new truck came with the air ride, which has been awesome so far. My only issue with it is that twice now it has clunked, almost felt like someone bumped the truck from behind. It seems to happen when in stop and go when you're stopped, move maybe 6 feet and stop again. Has...

    New truck on order, old one for sale!

    Well I'm selling my truck! A few weeks ago I called up my Ram dealer and ordered a 2016 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel Limited in Bright White to replace it! It'll be sad to see my Longhorn go, but I'm excited to get the new one in! I pretty much put every option on except for Rambox and the upgraded...

    Goodyear Duratracs saved my truck from becoming a write off

    I knew the duratracs were good, but until 2 nights ago I didn't fully appreciate them. It was a misting out, just below freezing and foolishly I was going too fast. (88 in an 80). In my defense until this point the roads had been fine. The car in front of me, maybe 4 seconds, hit the breaks to...

    Thoughts on vinyl wrapping my bumpers

    I've been looking at the Limited trim and really like the painted bumpers. I used MS Paint today to crudely paint over my bumper. What do you guys think? Stay chrome or black it out? For those who have done it, what did it cost? I'm waiting on a few quotes to come back now. Are there better...

    Bottom of the windshield tint?

    I've got the brow done, but I'm wondering what my truck would look like with the bottom done too? Anyone good with photoshop who'd be able to give me a rough idea with this pic? Just maybe to half way up the suction cup mount for my Trinity. I know the bottom is a cop magnet, but I've heard...

    Painted up my Mevotechs!

    I couldn't take the rust on my Mevotech UCA's anymore so I painted them! First I took off the tires and took a wire brush to them. Then I took sand paper and scrubbed the hell out of them lol. After that came paint. I used 2 coats of Tremclad primer, 2 coats Tremclad flat black paint, and...

    S&B Cleaning...Need Advice!

    So I cleaned my oiled filter and it's been drying for 27 hours now. I called S&B and asked how dry it had to be to put back on. They said if you hold onto it and do a fast swinging motion towards the ground and it lets no water drops out than its dry enough. So I did that and a bunch of water...

    Black paint water spot easy solution!

    So I'm very picky about my things looking good..which has been a battle with my truck because of the black paint. Water spots form all over the truck no matter what I tried. I tried "spotless" wash soaps, washing in the shade, parking in the shop after, and driving to the car wash and using...
