Default newbie, first Dodge

Hello, I just purchased my first Dodge last week, a 2005 Ram quad cab SLT with a hemi and only 46k on it. I traded my beloved BMW 740il for it because I really needed a truck for work. I have already discovered how much I missed customizing/modding vehicles (not easy to do to a big bimmer). So far I have ordered a Pioneer nav unit, new speakers, an AQ amp, and Alpine R sub. I plan to add cai and cat back exhaust soon.

Also already discovered (I think) through the forum why I have a wet spot under the rear seat--going to remove the third brake light and reseal it in the morning.

Welcome Aboard ThaBeast! Please let us know if the wet spot under the rear seat solution worked.

Yes, it did. I used the frost king weatherstripping fix I found here to reseal my third brake light and it passed both the hose and the car wash test.
