    Recieved wrong oil from Amazon

    My fault but pretty sure I clicked on 5W20 PUP when I ordered a 15 quart case. Recieved 5W30. When I went back to the Amazon order page and tried clicking on 5W20 box I noticed it would stay on 5W30 like a default. After tapping the box several times it finally switched to 5W20. But my fault...

    Well this was not nice - computer did a hard reset I guess.

    My 2023 Limited with not yet 2,000 miles. I went to lunch today and when I got in afterwards and started it, there were some computer like noises, and some sort of up-dating Tom Tom message briefly on the media screen and then the radio started playing static and all my dash panel settings, my...

    Dang automatic brake

    Three or four times in the 6 months I’ve had this 23 truck, the automatic brake on this thing has locked on and been a ***** to get off. Once or twice, before I figured out about backing up with the door open, they were probably my fault. But today I simply pulled over on the shoulder, put it...

    +8 gear selection to defeat MDS?

    I stared using the +8 gear selection to defeat MDS for around town a couple of weeks ago. But due to the bad weather and now that I’m retired, I don’t have to get out on the icy and snow packed roads with all the crazies. So haven’t been out much and haven’t used it but a few times. However...

    Any E-torque battery fires ever reported

    I’m a big critic of the current field of electric vehicles with their exploding lithium battery packs, poor range, poor quality, poor reliability, high environmental adverse impact, Government involvement with fake carbon credits - just the whole damn thing. Sworn I will never own one or park...

    Lost Navigation as a Widget? Any ideas?

    2023 Limited about 3 months old. I’ve had my media screen set up to show 3 views - radio, comfort and Navigation. My u-connect trial period expired a little before Christmas. I found yesterday the Navigation portion of the screen was blank. Clicking on Navigation brings the the full...

    Question on TruXedo Pro x15 bed cover?

    Just finished installing one on my 2023 RAM today and followed instructions to the letter. Looks great but I’m somewhat disappointed in the seal at the tail gate. The cover stops a bit short and the rubber flap extends down the inside the tailgate. Probably going to be OK as leakage there...

    What do you lose when RAM connect on new truck expires?

    My free description expires on my 2023 today and I’m not inclined to start a paid subscription service. So exactly what do I lose the use of? Sort of a mystery to me. My rather vague and probably poor understanding is I lose the phone app - remote start/lock, etc. But I never use that stuff...

    System voltage with e-torque

    This question is not about a problem but just to satisfy my curiosity about the e-torque system on my 23 Limited. I’ve noticed that sometimes when I come to a stop light and the engine shuts down, the voltage gage continues to show a steady 13.7 to 13.8 volts. Other times when I stop for a...

    Warped exhaust manifolds

    I’m sure if I guy went through the old threads enough I could find the answer to this but the threads seem voluminous. Cast iron exhaust manifolds have always been subject to warping as long as I can remember. I got an exhaust tic from one in my first car, a 64 Sport Fury in the late 60s. A...

    Surround camera programming

    Pretty sure the answer to this is no, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask. My wife has a Lexus RX350 with all the nanny features including surround camera view. We managed to program hers to where when she slows to about 3 mph in drive the surrounding view appears on the screen. This is a...

    Instrument panel lights dimmer switch.

    I drove my new 2023 Limited last night for the first time in the dark. Starting it up we were momentarily startled by the instrument panel and monitor screen lighting on full bright illumination. Fumbling around for where I remembered the dimmer switch to be I rotated it a ways with no change...

    Front USB ports?

    I noticed that the USB ports above the console appear to be on even when the truck is shut off. First time I’ve run into that but I’ve been in Toyotas for some years. I don’t guess in all this programmable electronics wizardry there’s a way to program them over to being switched with the...

    Auxiliary CD player

    I’m one of the old guys with a good sized CD collection that just never got into loading music on an iPhone or thumb drive and could hardly bear the loss of a CD player in the new vehicles. I found on Amazon an USB powered auxiliary CD player called Jupiter and purchased it. It works great...

    What repetitive issues still around in the 2023s

    After perusing old threads and often reported issues with the 2019 5th Gen, which ones seem to still be plaguing the 2023s? My truck was assembled 6/30/23 so it’s a somewhat late 23. Here are some I recall seeing repeatedly from browsing. I’m sure I’m missing some, especially in the...

    New truck - when do I start getting the mileage on the window sticker

    I’ve only driven my new 23 Limited about 130 miles so far so so my question is probably premature. The dealer filled it up prior to pickup and today I flipped over to look at mileage so far (around town) and it’s showing 13.5. I’ve been driving it like an old man while getting used to it (and...

    Another first time, new RAM owner

    First time RAM owner. Needed to get back to a Pickup from the SUV world. Picked up a 2023 RAM Limited with the year end incentives and so far really liking it. Not crazy about the stop/start business but learning to pause a second after releasing the brake, before pressing the accelerator...
