Great video, I ended up getting a '19 big horn with the led package and I love the truck, over 5500 miles on it and I've had it since Nov 2018. After the break in I opened up the hemi and the smile never left my face.
“That job doesn’t look terrible at all!”...famous last words lol. My Trackhawk is so tightly packaged, this layout looks so nice to work on. These 19+ RAMs are so nice, they’re definitely in the running to replace the GC, especially if the TRX ever drops.
Love the chrome bumpers on my big Horn. Little bit of work to get the water spots off but man that front bumper looks great when cleaned. Brings out the truck big time
Daniel Garcia - I totally agree. A truck is a work vehicle. I bought a Big Horn for that reason. I live in Jersey. We get a fair amount of snow and I didn’t want to drive through deep snow with a painted or plastic bumper.
I just bought a 20 big horn to replace both my 03 Ram and my daily suv. Went chrome because after 17 years my 03 still absolutely glistens. I’ve only polished the chrome about three times and just regular wash and wax.
Krowns or Fluid Film for your undercoating. Dont ever use bedliner product on your undercarriage. It will dry and every crack will keep salt and moisture in accelerating rust.
Krown undercoat twice a year with a good power wash in spring. You'll go through multiple drivetrains before the truck rots away. Especially since your in PA not NYS like me.
I'm waiting to see what you'll use and how you'll go about putting some kind of rust inhibitor on the frame. Then I'll have to figure out how I'll do it without a lift!
WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING.................If you have the LED Light package on your 2019+ RAM 1500, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT install an LED light into the 3rd Brake Light.

Chrysler is aware of this issue and is sharing this with it's dealers and their service departments. Share this with anyone you know that has a 2019+ Ram 1500 that is thinking about putting and LED light in the 3rd brake light.
regarding frame rust, it is a serious issue to worry about, it develops also on the inside. Some reason they have many holes to let in salt water. Up north your underside is getting salt water baths all winter long. Your want the oily soft sprays, nothing that gets hard for undercoating. And they way our trucks are made, your fighting a losing battle with salty water.
Thanks for the tip on the applicators and the tire shine. Added them to my wish list on Amazon. Was planning on getting some touch up paint when I take mine in for it's first oil change. I passed on the clear bra this time around too. My wife's SUV has a bubble from a rock and a guy at work looks like he's got a chip under the clear bra. Keep up the good work! Cheers
Black Sharpie. I used it on a black 2017 GMC Canyon that had paint chips before I traded it for a 2020 Laramie Sport. Dealer didn't see it at the time I traded it. Pretty sure they would notice it later though. lol
So far the only thing I seen that was new is the frame and the composite upper A arms! The 8 speed has always had a composite pan and they have had electric power steering pump since at least 2014- on. Love the Ram it’s a great truck
They sell a detail tool to repair rock chips that is pretty damn good in my opinion ... yes xpel is expensive but it’s well worth the money ... it depends on who installs it. I’ve had my entire ZL1 xpeled for about a year .... wouldn’t take back my decision at all
You just dab it with the paint from the OEM brush then use 2000 grit sand paper and finesse it out to smooth out the head of the paint then buff it out.
Steve FYI my 2019 Ram Laramie AMP powersteps did not required the rivnuts there are studs sticking out that you use, I don;t know if the big horn is the same
It’s a frame it doesn’t matter What does matter is the body tho You get a deep scratch on a dodge and there’s a 50% chance it’ll rust cuz the shit body coatings they give dodges
@@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suitther frame doesn't matter? Thats an interesting statement about the foundation the truck was built around lol. Dodge is still the new standard in quality.
Tyler R When frames rust it’s so irrelevant that it’s called “natural weight reduction” if you wanted to make the frame weaker you’d have to rub salt into that shit weekly and never wash it to make it weak it’s a FRAME
I have read on forums that the exhaust running directly under the oil pan causes really high oil temps. I have seen some people heat wrap that portion of pipe. You guys have any thoughts on that? Thanks 🙏
sdc612 with the cooled pan on the trans and the fact that it is plastic or a composite material it should be fine plus the trans has a cooler also that is pretty much standard for the crossover pipe on most trucks

Great content, also I just got a 2019 Big Horn awhile ago. I have been searching and searching for a "Low Profile" Hard bed cover. The issues I have been running into are the sizes, I called the dealership and was told that it is a 5'0 bed. Now my question is can I fit a TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Rolling Truck Bed Tonneau Cover? It is not equipped with the "Ram Boxes".
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA i'm sorry i don't see it on the cover can you tell me what timestamp it's at? all i saw was a plug directly at top same side as drain plug on mine, but wasn't sure if that was it.
Holy hell I thought it was just my truck but my 2019 has the same issue with the front bumper paint! Why is it chipping so much? Damn. I’m ordering the paint and the applicator. I wonder if there is a clear film to cover it. Mine is chipped up badly. I’ve not got but 10 k miles ‘. Thank you. Good video
I have a very interesting question. Does the Dodge V10 launch its spark plugs into space like a saturn V lift off like the Ford 6.8 V10 does? I have the Ford version and every two or three months we have a moon landing attempt. Ford does not seem to recognise this issue.
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA yea it is just everytime it happens its $500 for resetting and helo coil (spelling could be off) each cylinder. It gets expensive.
NEVER USE BEDLINER TO UNDERCOAT. Fluid film or similar products. Messy but prevents rust. Also the inside rockers have a tape applied over oval holes. This tape fails and allows the salt water in.
Weren't the older Gen rams true duals?! I don't like the fake, I do like how easy they make it to replace though Obviously gotta get skid plates - composite may be stronger, but won't bend like steel if you flip up a big rock. And one of those valved drain plugs so you can just attach a hose and ¼turn it
Yeah Ford learned the hard way using a plastic oil Pan in 2010 they stop that Strange Ram is still using plastic I can't see that holding up for a long period of time I bet you could find a metal replacement Pan
If you could, sometime in the future, address the oil filter change on the FWD 5.7's for the DIY's Its a five minute process from the front/passenger side (underneath with contortions) All u-tube versions of this process are attacking said from behind and I'm facepalming
I sprayed the bottom of my ram with Black Star drys clear over paint turns rust to black plastic I'll repeat every year...undercoat will rot and turn into a sponge and cause rust..... I may be the only guy in the world doing this but I think I'm on to somthing
Electric actuated air dam. That will never fail. At least it looks easy to get to when you have to fix it. I am pretty sure the holes in the cross member are not for air flow. They are there to lighten the component without compromising its integrity. That's pretty smart engineering. The same goes for the ribs in the transmission pan they are there to help shed weight not for any cooling effect. A composite pan is terrible at conducting heat so it wouldn't be very effective at cooling. Most of the time an aftermarket undercoating is a bad idea as it tends to trap water making corrosion worse. This frame is not simply painted. It is an E-Coat in which the protective coating is baked on in an oven. It is actually quite durable and will probably outlast the waxy coating that GM uses which is a surprisingly effective product. As far as the minor surface rust on your suspension components, coating them with a thick layer of undercoating will probably again trap water making the situation much worse. That minor surface rust on those thick heavy components will likely not cause any harm. The rest of the truck will likely wear out before that rust becomes an issue. BTW....your RAM is a beautiful truck and I am considering one for myself later this year when my lease on my current truck is up.
also being from PA i can say i cant stand how much they salt here, it really ruins vehicles. i used to live in Washington state (where they definitely get more snow) they use a lot less salt on the roads and actually apply sand mixtures to keep the ice from being able to form as well as for the grip it gives to your tires. i don't understand why they can't do that here, we spend so much unneeded money on the salt as well as maintenance of the equipment and also the mitigation of the salt (which does not degrade) so it doesn't affect the water quality (the EPA has already made states pay fines for having too high sodium as well as chloride levels in ground water).
Hey ram owners ? Has anyone come across a humming sound on their 19 ram. It sounds like its from the exhaust. 5 .7 hemi. Please let me know. What it is. I took it back to the dealer but they never heard it. So then it just did it again. But sometimes it goes away. For a while.
I find the paint on my Rebel (2019) is absolute garbage, you look at it wrong and it scratches or chips. You can drive a tank over my 2014 Tahoe and it wouldn’t leave a scratch. Very frustrating I find.
I hope you change out your PCM before you put a louder aftermarket exhaust on the truck, unless, UNLESS, you like the sound of a busted 4 cylinder Mazda when the MDS kicks in.
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA I have a 2007 RAM 1500 Bighorn. I had a FlowMaster 40 series system with dual 40's and Dumps, put on the truck. It was on there a total of 24 hours. (LOL) I went back the next day and had it yanked back off. 3 months later, I finally received my Diablo Tuner, hooked it up and turned OFF the worthless MDS. The very next day I went back to the exhaust shop and they re-installed my FlowMaster system. Never looked back since then. My wife has a 2019 RAM 1500 4wd Bighorn Midnight Edition. Thing is nobody sells just a tuner so that we can turn off the MDS. You must replace the PCM all together...UGH! (NOT CHEAP! $1,000+)

I love how Ram put the sway bar directly in front of the oil drain plug. Should make oil changes fun.
Yeah they must have taken a page out of fords book
Very informative. Great delivery and enthusiasm. Now….if I only had a lift. 😌
really like how the transmission drain and fill/check plugs are covered by exhaust cross over pipe
Krowns or Fluid Film for your undercoating. Dont ever use bedliner product on your undercarriage. It will dry and every crack will keep salt and moisture in accelerating rust.
ADAMS detailing has a bottle of called "VRT" vinyl rubber and trim. I've had really good luck with it and it don't give you any slings.
back of a match from a match book works great for filling a chip. been doing that for 25 years and it works great
Get a fumuto valve for your oil pan u can get a swivel where u pick where it will shoot out from when u drain 👍
Dura coating Technology is hands-down the Best tire shine on the market. Last for months Rain or shine, pretty incredible product

You should have shown everyone where the engineers put the oil filter. If you think the oil drain plug is in a bad spot god help you with the filter.
Yup been there it sucks
yes for fluid film. And fluid film the frame inside, then metal tape all those frame holes to keep out the salt water.
Fac paint is thin. Common issue w rock chips, scratches on most rams so thats why you stick w a chrome bumper.

I know it's an old video but I wouldn't spray bediner under the truck especially over rust. Look into fluid film, it's amazing.

I have a Rebel now and have the loudest exhaust I have not had that issue
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA so you enjoy listening to a loud 4 cylinder?
@@JeffreyStrader with the Borla system you can barely hear it in eco mode
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA I have a 2007 RAM 1500 Bighorn. I had a FlowMaster 40 series system with dual 40's and Dumps, put on the truck. It was on there a total of 24 hours. (LOL) I went back the next day and had it yanked back off. 3 months later, I finally received my Diablo Tuner, hooked it up and turned OFF the worthless MDS. The very next day I went back to the exhaust shop and they re-installed my FlowMaster system. Never looked back since then. My wife has a 2019 RAM 1500 4wd Bighorn Midnight Edition. Thing is nobody sells just a tuner so that we can turn off the MDS. You must replace the PCM all together...UGH! (NOT CHEAP! $1,000+)
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA can you put up a video so we can hear what the truck sounds like now?
Krown.
Boiled linseed oil and wax toilet rings (not kidding).
Vaseline.
