    3.21 vs 3.92 Gear Ratio...will not be towing much.

    Get the 3:21. I ordered 3.92 in 2016 and I like the way it drives, but I rarely get over 18mpg. I think I hit 20-21 once on a highway trip. A couple years ago, I rented an almost identical truck with 3:21s at the Denver airport for a trip to Moab UT. That truck never felt underpowered even at...

    RAM Care said they are going to try and get a dealer buy back ?

    Don't know why it wouldn't, since there's no difference between the cabs. There is no doubt that's where water was getting into mine. I could see it dripping in after the inside panel was removed. Look at my thread for pictures.

    RAM Care said they are going to try and get a dealer buy back ?

    My 2016 had a considerable leak that was easy to fix once I found it. The cabin flapper vents between cab and bed had no effective seals. I have a thread on here about it and it was an easy fix. Both sides (driver and passenger) leaked, but the driver side was worse. I think I was the first to...

    Cabin water leak other than brake light or window

    I think the seal is built into the vent, but it was too loose to do it's job.

    Cabin water leak other than brake light or window

    The vents came out very easily as they were very loose fitting. There wasn't any damage I could see to the plastic louvers or thin rubber flaps. The hardest part was getting them back in without smearing the bead of clear silicone around the perimeter. I think string and painters tape was used...

    Cabin water leak other than brake light or window

    Good news. We had heavy rain over the weekend while I was on vacation driving rental cars. Enough rain to leak into my basement, which is unusual. I just checked under my truck's back seat and it's bone dry.

    Cabin water leak other than brake light or window

    Since two out of two vents on my truck leaked heavily, I can't believe more people haven't had this.

    Cabin water leak other than brake light or window

    Spoiler: Cabin pressure vents I just wanted to share my experience so others may benefit. I had the not uncommon experience of finding wetness and surface rust under my rear seat. I very carefully resealed the third brake light. When I had it removed, I didn't see any signs of water getting...

    Rear Window Leak

    So I found some rust and wetness under the driver side rear seat. I carefully resealed the 3rd brake light thinking that was the problem. We just had some significant rain and I remembered to check under the seat. It was very damp 12 plus hrs after the last rain and the seat bracket is rusty...

    Bad experience with a body lift install in NJ

    No-one cares as much about your truck/car/motorcycle as you do. Shops exist to make money and time is money. I hate leaving my truck with anyone and try to avoid it. I recently had my first warranty repair and it seems Ok so far, but I haven't crawled underneath to check things out yet. I...

    Excessive water in body mounts

    I just went out and took a pick of the passenger front body mount just behind the bumper. It shows the weep hole I drilled that allows water to escape the area around the bolt shank. It has to be as close to the bolt flange as possible. When reinstalling the bolt, the hole has to be clocked...

    Excessive water in body mounts

    I'm not removing the bolt to check it, but I'm confident that there isn't a puddle of water in that one anymore. I only drilled the one that I found the most water in (passenger front). I had a recurring click from the driver front mount until the last time I loosened and torqued it. I was...

    I Got Rearended Yesterday! :(

    And another thing. The other insurance company will put you in a compact rental car. In my case, the other person's Ins. Co. was Progressive. The rental company (Enterprise) said the Ins. Co. would have to authorize anything different. I called Progressive and they asked if I used my truck for...

    I Got Rearended Yesterday! :(

    Similar thing just happened to me in my 2016 Outdoorsman. I was rear-ended while stopped in traffic to get in the PA Farm show. A couple days ago, I picked up my truck from its week long stay at the body shop. The best advice I have is to take close up pictures before the repair and closely...
