For a 2014 RAM CREW 1500, installation requires removing OEM rubber strip/gasket on the hood lip. Anyone having issues of vibration or rubbing after?

No vibration or rubbing for me. Works fine. I have the same truck/ 2013 model.

I did not remove the gasket and installed the Bugflector as is. I had no issues at all and looks great.

i just installed it yesterday and i do get a slight whistling noise. afe called me back and said to open up the crank case line a little more which is the cause of it, so i'll post back if that ends up resolving it. it's a shame though that customers have to do this to make an unnecessary noise go away.

none that I have noticed. very securely sealed to bed. if you improperly installed the cover it could rub against the rear of the cab. easy solution would be to not do that.there is also no noise when fully opened. rubber pads seat it very nicely against the cab.

I have had no problems with mine. Sounds like you have a vibration problem. Excess vibration can destroy anything. A rubber mount might help or a different mounting location where there is less vibration. Hope this helps.

i don't have a hard roof on mine, but if you did there be some kind of gap , look at the pic.and also i get some vibration at a idel. haven't had a chance to ride and do any adjustments but thinking on adding some trim all around the edge of the windshield . hope this help you some

I installed them on my 2015 CVO street glide and I did have to trim the heat shield opening to get enough clearance for the floor board mounting bracket. Not sure if it is just a CVO issue or all models but it was a simple fix.

I don't know what exactly it could be but, the OEM nut came off without having to work very hard so when I reinstalled the new sensor I just estimated how hard it was to get off. Basically just torqued it down to finger tight and then two and half turns which made it pretty darn snug. Haven't had any issues yet! Sorry I can't help more.

I have a GM bed liner and Bushwacker rail caps and I had no problem mounting the cover. The seal isn't that great at the front of the bed but I haven't had any leaks. It took me about 45 minutes to install and 10 minutes of that was deciding where to put the center clamp, in front of or in back of the wheel well. I hope this helps.

I installed one about a year ago. There is no clicking noise, and I don't think it should be doing that. I would suggest you jack it up and have someone lightly move the steering wheel while you are underneath determining where the noise is from (use jack stands to be safe if the truck were to slip off the jack) I believe the boot should be on the bottom. Look at this video, or do a google search as I did before changing mine. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&e;src=s&source;=web&cd;=1&cad;=rja&ved;=0CDgQFjAA&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dn-kSP58pWvw&ei;=iRq3Uo_5GqiQyAGPk4GoCw&usg;=AFQjCNGLiJ0Kp2aFhCv3_hTs82FXpqIQig I installed one about a year ago.

Yes I too had this similar issue. What I did was take the old rubber parts and put them in upside down. It was not a tight fit but the radiator doesn't move now. On a side note and separate issue you might want to check. The place where the bottom radiator hose connects is not the same as the factory hose. Be VERY careful here. The factory radiator hose hook up is angled keeling it away from a belt. If you do not pay attention to it, the new radiator will push the bottom hose back into the belt and the belt will cut through it. I fixed this by cutting just enough of the hose off to keep it from the belt. Yes I too had this similar issue. What I did was take the old rubber parts and put them in upside down.

Minor assembly. Just pay attention to how the old ones come off. Very simple. The springs are on the struts. Make sure the rub guards are in the right place if not the struts will rattle and squeak. I bought 2 sets and one set came with the rub guards too high and they are a pain to have to listen to sqeak and rattle on every little bump in the road. They are on my work car so i put up with it and just badmouth monroe every chance i get, like now.

Front tire clearance is an issue. Even with 1.5" spacers and 3 inch suspension lift, I trimmed out some of the plastic inner fender. I still have rubbing issues, at full turn, front and rear inner fender. Other then that I love 'em!

I have had this unit on my car for over 10,000 miles and not a single rattle. If you are getting a rattle, let the system settle in for a little while (i.e., put couple hundred miles of driving on). After which you will want to re-adjust the fit re-tighten the bolts. In my case I found that immediately after the initial install the system looked perfect (alignment with cutouts was near perfect). However after driving for a few days the system moved a little. I simply loosened the bolts and re-adjusted. I've noticed that over the past 10K miles the passenger side exit is slightly off-center in the cut out, but it is not immediately obvious (you have to be looking for it), so I've left the system alone. But this adjustment process did convince me that the system definitely needs a re-tightening after initial driving. (I did not use a torque wrench to tighten to a specified torque but I did tighten this down very hard... maybe a little over-torqued... but it's all good).

So far I have not had any problems. I have not had to replace anything. I am running 35s and this kit really helps keep the steering wheel from being jerked around when I hit bumps or pot holes on the road.

You have to remove the bumper skin and the wheel-well liners, I think. Its been several years. If you search you-tube someone will have a video showing what comes off. I wouldn't say they are "easy" to remove/install but it wasn't rocket science either. I think it took me a couple hours... if you don't include the time I spent messing around with the messed up angle adjustment boss that I received.

make sure you have a real catalytic converter otherwise it is loud. the only other problem is exhaust mounts are lower than stock and I have scraped several times.

The pic is a generic pic. I bought the same ones for my 13' ram just be careful if you take them on and off frequently because mine cracked. If you so just pop the hood each time
