    Buying 2019 Limited - is Mopar “lifetime” warranty legit?

    One thing I would look at is how "lifetime" is defined, in the contract. Just to clarfy what I am getting at, Redwing will resole their boots for the lifetine of the boots but when the uppers are worn out the lifetime is over. There might be a similar dealer escape here. Read the fine print...

    How do I wake dodge/ram up to fix it?

    Does your state have a lemon law? CO can kill you. Start procedings to get a refund. If nothing else it may get the dealer off his butt. Call the local BBB and file a complaint. Contact whoever handles consumer protection in your area. Be polite but make it clear to the dealer that you cannot...

    Cabin Filter - Worth It? Why?

    Older Rams had a wire screen that fills up with crap and is not made for customer access My SUV has a cabin filter, that I can change, that fills up with crap. What makes you think that the guys at Mopar are geniuses. Maybe they were just cheap or indifferent. From 2009 on there is a GENUINE...

    Question about Bilstein 5100 install

    I am preparing for the same job, but I will use the non adjustable 4600. My fear is that the remaining hardeare could be shot because I have a much older 07. The setup sounds Identical. One of those rusty top studs might shear off and things are knocking around, so I am replacing the remaining...

    Fuel filter....

    Considering how much junk collects on the cabin filter in my SUV, I suspect the truck would be better if it had one. All that stuff must be decomposing in the heater box. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Rotors and pads

    I have used Raybestos rotors from Rockauto and Akebono pads from them as well, on all my vehicles. No complaints. There is a super trued and balanced Raybestos rotor but I never went that far. The regular ones are fine and look and work just like OEM. Akebono is a premium ceramic pad, to deal...

    Bag and wing-nut for jack?

    You can just try unscrewing it. You will find out fast enough if is all gunked up. Just don't force it if it won't turn. It will break off in the nut. I had a similar problem with a Neon caliper bolt. The bolt broke, trying to remove it, because the end, which was inaccessable, stuck out the...

    Bag and wing-nut for jack?

    Looks like an inprovement on the 07. I see they have removed the thread on the tip of the screw. My thread goes beyond the nut and sticks out under the truck. When I tried to remove it, the rust and dirt on the tip would not pass through the nut. I had to get under there with a wire brush and...

    Rear window change

    I have considered the same swap. In the winter that rear window ices up badly. I have an 07. From an electrical standpoint, a lot of it is already there. The heated side mirrors switch serves double duty. As I understand it, the switch operates 2 relays, one for the mirrors and one for the...

    Floor mat reviews?

    So you prefer the X-Acts over the Whetherbeaters? I am debating that question right now. Is there any tendancy for your heel to snag on that soft rubber, going fron gas to brake? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Fuel filter....

    I went through the same thing with the cabin filter in my 07 1500. IT AIN'T GOT ONE. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Part number for Column Shift Lever end cap?

    Just do what we all have to do for part numbers. Go to the site of an online Mopar dealer. Put in the year and model info and pour through the factory drawings and parts lists to find it. The part is probably not that expensive that is worth ordering online so let your dealer's parts guy find...

    Heated seat problem

    Going back to basic electronics, assuming both run on 12 volt battery voltage, the current is determined by the resistance of the heating element. Think of it like home light bulbs. They all run on 120 volts A C but the 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 60 watt bulb. Ford just installed a...

    Floor mats recommendations? 2017 Ram 1500 crew cab

    I am looking for new mats, myself. Those of you that recommend Husky, which model are you referring to? There is an X-ACT CONTOUR, a WEATHER BEATER, a HEAVY DUTY and a CLASSIC. The X-ACT CONTOR is the softer one that I would probably go with. I looked at the installation instructions. My 07 has...
