    To many, but never done
    It does come in handy... especially when you rip out the fold down seats in the back.

    Gross.

    Wouldn't have to worry about overloading the leaf springs that way, I guess. :notsure:

    Shifts perfectly.
    Only has 36k on it, though, so give it time. I have zero concerns about it, though, since I don't tow heavily, I keep up on my maintenance (I actually have transmissions serviced when they're supposed to be), and I've got a $100 deductible bumper-to-bumper warranty on it for another 65K in case something does go wrong.

    Hub assemblies are good on mine, too...

    thats good. Rams seem clunky when shifting in and out of park, reverse and drive.

    It does drop into Drive or Reverse with a solid "chunk", but every 3/4 or 1 ton I've driven over the years has done that. Seems to just be a trait of an HD transmission in general

    Doesn't bother me. We had a late 70's Power Ram for a farm truck when I was younger and when you shifted that into drive drive or reverse it'd try to lurch forward or back, and it sounded like somebody had dropped a cast iron sink into the bed. This thing is silent and smooth by comparison. :laugh:

    Yeah, as long as it shifts smoothly while I'm actually driving it I'm good.

    Lol. The Mega Cab Long Beds would be in the Gerald R Ford class. This is more along the lines of the old Essex class carriers, at a mere 800 feet instead of the 1100 foot supercarriers.

    And the truck did all the work; I just sat back and watched the views.

    You can even buy them as a dually, for even more maneuvering difficulty!

    Mounted my mag light on the bins @DrFunker gave me (I still can’t thank you enough for those) on my lunch break today. Sits right next to the drivers seat when the seat is back.

    Also did a magnetic hide-a-key box thing on the truck with a spare key in an undisclosed location.

    New kicker tweeters. Home made mounts made of Masonite. Theyre not pretty but theyre functional. Cut and used the harness from the factory tweeter. Thanks @LivinLoud for the help.
