    Inverter install

    Anyone installed a 1500-2000W inverter in the cab? If so, what did you install, where did you put it and how did you run power to it?

    Rougher ride than expected

    Ok towing and suspension gurus, I need your help. Unloaded my truck rides exceptionally well for an HD truck. We’ve upgraded our trailer to a Brinkley Z Air 297, and the ride in the truck is beating us up unless the road is glass-smooth. Obviously it’s an HD truck, and I’m aware it’s going to...

    DRVM Fakra Connectors

    Does anyone know what the actual “color”connectors are for the DRVM, CHMSL, and DRVM Module for ‘23+ trucks? I know I can get water blue/Z cables, but I’m having trouble finding any that are available in 3m length in less than a month, and I really don’t want to wait that long.

    For Sale - 2023 Rebel Wheels - price drop!!

    Set of 4 20x8 wheels from my 2023 Rebel. They have about 35k miles on them, but aside from a small chip about 1/8" across (see second picture) they're in great shape. Just a bit of dirt on them, but I'll happily wash them if a buyer asks. Local pickup in the Boise, Idaho area, or I can drag...

    Look, another tire pressure thread!

    I know we've done a million of these, but I need some sanity checking. I've just installed a set 35x12.5R17 Falken Wildpeak AT4w. Falken's tire pressure chart (https://www.falkentire.com/load-inflation) shows this for this size: I'm sitting at right about 4500 (2250 per tire) pounds on the...

    Rear Driveshaft/Crossmember Clearance

    Ok, so with the Thuren long travel rear coils and the Fox 2.5 shocks at full droop (actually before it even gets that far) my rear driveshaft hits the crossmember that the gas tank skid and skid bars are attached to. I see that @Atl-atl notched and re-welded his crossmember, but I’m not seeing...

    Alignment after lift

    Background: My truck was previously aligned using Thuren specs, and drove great. As some here have seen, I installed a Thuren suspension this weekend. 2" front lift coils, 0.5" rear lift. During the install I had to mess with the front caster cams to get the lower shock bolts in. I took...

    Need help quick - lower shock bolts

    Trying to get my Fox shocks installed, and no matter what I do I can’t get the lower bushing to line up with the mount enough to get the bolt through! I’ve tried no weight on the suspension, some weight, most of the weight, and even turning the caster adjusters to try to change the angle of the...

    Talk me out of my suspension plans

    I’m getting ready to do suspension, wheels, and tires on my ‘23 Rebel Hemi. After long calls with all the big suspension companies and a few shops I’ve decided to go Thuren for the suspension, and I’m going to go with their 2” front lift coils, the .5” long travel rear coil kit, and the front...

    Upper Glovebox scratches

    So the other day I installed the ambient lighting in the dashboard that is missing from the recent trucks. The install of the light pipe over the upper glovebox was a massive pain, but I eventually got it done. Unfortunately I didn't realize at the time that I was putting a lot of light scuffs...

    Aux lighting circuit help

    I'm about to finish up the install of my aux switches, and one of the things I plan to add is some street legal aux driving lights. I'd like to use one of the aux switches to control them, but not just simple on/off. What I want is to have them powered on when I turn the switch on the first...

    GMRS Antenna Mount with PW/Rebel/Sport Hood

    I’m about to install a new radio in the truck, and I’ve been leaning towards putting one of the Midland Ghost antennas on the driver’s side fender, as seems to be popular. I know the ghost antenna is already a bit of a compromise with it being short, but with the taller “Sport Performance” hood...

    Height measurement help

    Planning my upcoming wheel and tire replacement, and I could use some help figuring out what’s feasible in my situation. I have to take my wife’s bad back into account, and that means testing how high of a step she’ll have to take to get on the power steps for the truck. I know I can fit 35s...

    Oil change shenanigans and driveshaft fails

    Did an oil change yesterday and discovered that when I had a dealer do an oil change for me a couple months ago (I always do my own, but I was on the road at the time) they put the wrong oil filter on. The 6.4L in these trucks calls for 4892339BE (photo 1), but the dealer installed 4884899AC...

    Trailer odometer

    Anyone with a 23+ and the digital cluster have over 10k miles on their trailer odometer? Mine was working fine and then stopped at 9978.2 miles, even though I have over 1k miles with the trailer hooked up since it stopped counting. I’ve restarted everything, unhooked the trailer several times...

    Why would a transmission shift better if the speedometer is calibrated to a different tire size?

    I know it's an "everyone knows it" thing, but I can't figure out why a transmission would shift better if the speedometer is calibrated to a different tire size. It's not like you've changed the gear ratio in the tranny. It's still hitting the same power at the same output shaft speed.

    Frame Hex Hole Rivnut Size

    Anyone know what size rivnuts go into the hex holes on the side of the frame under the passenger door? I’m fabbing up a mount for my air compressors and I figure I may as well use the nice holes that Ram left me. The holes look to be about 1/2” across, but I’m sure the correct rivnuts are metric...

    2023+ Auto Fold Mirror - disable auto unfold

    Anyone with a '23+ truck figure out a way to stop the mirrors from unfolding at 10mph. I narrowly missed taking one out on a tree the other day while off-road when it suddenly opened itself back up. I've tried unchecking auto-fold in the UConnect settings, and it does stop them from auto...

    Power Wagon Articulink arms

    Anyone know where I can find a set? A while back someone mentioned knowing of a place that takes a lot of them off to install other arms.

    Front audio dropout while CarPlay phone unlocked

    I’ve had a weird issue for a while where occasionally the front audio on my Uconnect 5 will drop out as though there are navigation directions being given. This happens no matter what source is selected. I’ve struggled to reproduce it, so I haven’t bothered to take it to the dealer. Tonight...
