Instead of using the adhesive "J-tabs" that came with the DB, I took short lengths of 1/2 PEX pipe (approx 1.5" long) and slit it sideways/lengthways and pried it open and popped it on the underside (combined) of the metal/plastic inside/underside of the bed side lips. The PEX is springy enough...
I found that it helped to replace the ordinary-grade full-length-threaded bolts on the c-clamps with Grade 8 bolts:

I've followed this thread on and off over time, but not in full. I have an early 2020. If I put in a Redarc or some other aftermarket controller, will I need to worry about getting a TSB flash, or is the TSB flash issue confined to the Mopar brake controller? Thanks
To me the quantity of cleats on the HD was a choice for potential function, but I have turned out to like how they look, in a 'meant to do things' sort of way with the overall themes I have chosen to go with on my JT. And they've turned out to be useful to do things with. I am not trying to say...
I've run studded snowtires and non-studded snow tires, and I really think that with high quality modern snow tires, the advantage of studs is vanishingly small and not worth the expense or noise. Even on ice, the number of studs in contact with the traction patch is really pretty tiny in the...
What I am about to post is not intended as disrespect to Diamondback, or to anyone who has chosen or might in the future choose an SE [or an HD for that matter] this is just "for whatever it's worth."
I recently bought a set of 5 Mojave wheel/tire takeoffs, a substantial distance from my home...
245 75 17 General Arctic on steel Sport takeoff rims, so I can just change the entire wheel/tire assemblies with the seasons.
I've done the "aggressive all seasons are good enough with 4WD or AWD" in the past but have come back to running dedicated snows. It's not an issue of traction to "go"...
Got a set of Mojave wheels with Falken AT 285 70 17 tires last weekend. My truck is a Sport S 6MT 3.73 axle, which came with 245 75 17.
For the first short distance I was unpleasantly surprised in the difference in dynamics. Acceleration seemed to have turned for the noticeably lackluster and...
Interesting! Thanks for letting me know. Right now, I recently bought some Mojave take-off wheels and tires and so the discretionary budget is pretty well battered (even though the seller sold them to me at a very fair price) and the next wish on the wish list is a Banks Pedal Monster...
The one and only different air filter option I would want to consider swapping out to is to be able to run a Donaldson blue nanofiber filter element - they flow air really well and also filter really well. Unfortunately they are not really available for light duty vehicles. For a few years...
Agreed-
I've seen photos of the top dash factory 3.5 speakers labeled as 8 ohms, but they also have high-pass/ 'bass blocker' capacitors (basically a very rudimentary but effective crossover at 6dB/ octave), so the 3.5's are only "showing up" [in the load presented to the amp] at higher...
I understand that this thread is focused on the Magnuson, but there was mention/comparison above about the Edelbrock- does Edelbrock even support the possibility of using their product on manual transmission in the JT? Things I've seen about the Edelbrock only seem mention the AT.
A TVS or...
You can also find the shim instructions at:

I bought the rails for mine back in about February, and once I ordered them, I didn't keep details on the part numbers or the order.
Just found the Diamondback instructions that came with the shim kit, they list:
68343262ab
68343263ab
which seem to come up as the right parts when Googled
Interesting, didn't realize yet that anyone other than CF had come to market yet with an alternative clutch. I like the effect of a heavy flywheel but you raise interesting points about hanging an old school very heavy flywheel on an engine platform that wasn't engineered with that in mind.
In...
The new rails definitely come with all of the clips, most of them are molded into the rails as a part of the rails, except for a white clip in the front.
It's probably possible to remove rails without breaking clips, but from looking at some other peoples' info, it looked like that wouldn't be...
People seem to want or expect more low rpm torque for the MT application, heck, I'd like that, but on a naturally aspirated gasoline engine, that takes long skinny cylinders with long crank throw, which pushes redline lower and often is wheezy at high rpms - which would be a bad match for A/T
