RAM 1500 Sport

[BULL]

Most of my pics of it just happen to be of it being used like it’s supposed to be.
I picked up a set of factory black sport rims that I use with Nitto 420 summer tires. The chrome factory rims have Blizzaks for winter. Also installed factory BU camera. It has two JL Audio amps, a 600/1 and a 300/4, two 10 w3 JL Audio subs in a custom enclosure for the regular cab and all the speakers replaced with JL Audio C2 6x9s and 3.5”
Son hit a pole and I had the goose problem a while back so I just replaced the hood and grill. New bumper cover is in the garage to be painted yet then that will go on. Removing all the chrome emblems and switching to black halogen headlights, first one actually arrived today. Drivers side headlight should he hear Monday along with new Rancho RS5000 strut assemblies, shocks and heavy duty front wheel bearings. Then in about 3-4 weeks I’m gonna replace the can with a comp cams cam and some new headers. Oh, and put on new set of hoop steps I picked up recently, solid aluminum, I need to put them on for the wife. I’m gonna be busy over the next month! Also just got new vanity plates (two amend) for it a month ago.
Basically giving my baby a complete makeover because I plan to get at least another 10-15 years and 200k more miles out of it! Putting a few thousand into it to keep it in tip top shape is well worth it, especially not knowing what’s gonna happen in the auto industry over the next decade!

Hah, I'm safe.

My 3500 is an "incomplete vehicle", and I use it strictly to tow with, so it's more of a tractor really.

I'd say he got his money's worth twice...now it's a keeper...not much of a market for 400k plus Rams

Maxcare Lifetime. It's a keeper.

Dodge wants 500.00 to enable Nav on a VP3 code. For 700.00 I got this and it does carplay, built in Nav and responsive as hell. So happy right now.

the dunkin carplay app alone is a god send

That's cool, who makes it?

It covers up the Uconnect??

I evaluated all the companies that sell, linkswell, phoenix automotive, etc. I went with Phoenix Automotive as their youtube videos are top notch and they supported factory everything.

Linkswell uses an old unpatched android without wireless carplay, non starter.

Heigh 10 doesnt support factory anything. Wasn’t running a bullshit mic cord in my interior. If you want to see the Phoenix in motion let me know.

It removes the uconnect

I did see that post, but it wasn't clear to me that the Uconnect was actually removed.


I'm assuming the car doesn't bitch about the Uconnect being MIA? And that all of the functionality of the Uconnect is duplicated?

For example, controlling various vehicle functions etc? Backup camera for example?


And who makes this?

Apparently I'm having a comprehension problem... Let me go find a hot sidewalk and some Crayolas...

My 03 Ram 1500 has 140,000

We’ve discussed this before. If you want to keep it another 10 years, I would recommend replacing the lifters. The roller needle bearings are not going to last much longer. I had to replace them on my 2013 Daytona at 144,000 miles. Fortunately an engine light came on indicating a misfire in cylinder 5. We found the bad lifter before it wiped the cam.

I have a 2021 Limited and use 87 octane all the time. Yesterday I filled her up with 93 octane and so far I have seen ZERO difference in performance or gas mileage. Back to 87 octane lol.....

I'm seeing how our turbo Tundra does with the different fuel grades. Put a half tank of 93 over 87 and it seems like it improved. Today I filled it with 87 and I'll see where the average mpg ends up. It only has 1400 miles so it might be too early to really know?

I've been doing a long term test with my MY17 PW between regular and premium. MAYBE I can feel a tiny bit of performance, and maybe I'm getting about ~1mpg better, but IF it's true, it's so close that it's in the noise level...
