During HRIA Education Days, 12 hot-rod product manufacturers will give hour-long presentations on their product lines and provide tips and tricks for building project vehicles.

The Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) will kick off its series of events at the NSRA Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, with a general membership meeting, designed to provide members with an opportunity to get together with industry friends and associates.

Join the HRIA at the Saddle & Sirloin Club in the Kentucky Expo Center, where the HRIA select committee will provide updates on the latest council initiatives and activities while also providing an opportunity for the membership to make their voices heard on challenges and opportunities in the hot-rod industry.

Register for the general membership meeting.

HRIA Education Days

Education Days will once again be held at the National Street Rod Association (NSRA) Nationals in Louisville, where 12 hot-rod product manufacturers will give hour-long presentations on not only their product lines, but also tips and tricks for building project vehicles.

“These seminars are a great opportunity for Street Rod Nationals participants and spectators to learn product and installation techniques directly from the manufacturers,” said Rick Love of Vintage Air, who will present on “The Basics of Air Conditioning.”

The sessions will take place Thursday–Friday, August 3–4, with sessions beginning at 9:00 a.m. and concluding at 4:15 p.m. Some sessions will be set up classroom-style and feature panel discussions, while others will be presentation style. These valuable sessions are open to all NSRA Nationals attendees. This is a popular event and seats are limited.

Reserve a spot in the sessions of your choice.

This is ’19 RAM 1500, caught testing on public roads just outside of Detroit.

FCA is working overtime to get the next-generation RAM out, predicting a big sales bump for truck-hungry consumers. It will come to market with further innovations and refinements that have helped the current truck stand out.

The wheelbase provides a preview into a vastly roomier model, and therefore, more space inside for passengers and cargo. Chrysler is expected to upgrade the interior, especially on popular top-tier models, with the latest UConnect systems and other technologies previewed in the ’17 Pacifica minivan.

The new RAM should also have an innovative split tailgate as an option, based off the new tailgate seen in these images. The RAM 1500 will build on the current model’s technical traits. Expect air suspension and the RAM Boxes.

The V6 and V8 engines should carry on in the lineup, but with a few updates. The 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel should stay put, but FCA’s ongoing problem with the EPA over diesel emissions may alter those plans. The next RAM will also gain a mild hybrid system with a 48-volt electrical system, which sounds like the perfect place to put a turbocharged four in (which has already been spied).

The RAM will be more visible throughout the year, although its debut will likely be the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, with sales beginning shortly thereafter.
