    ugly exhaust. Ideas?

    So I have the single exhaust on a 4X4 QC SLT. I don't want to get into putting on a dual exhaust with new bumpers etc.. but damn, the way the muffler and pipe is pitched sideways and hung low is all kinds of ugly. Don't care about sound either, just talking looks here I know nothing of...

    garage door width

    I'm adding garage doors to my shop/garage and only have room for two 8 foot wide doors. I know the width of the Ram is 6ft 7in. which leaves 15 inches to spare or 7.5 inches each side (without folding the mirrors in). Sounds easy enough but the garage door guy says it's too tight to back out...

    Anybody lose a hat?

    Look what the tide brought in. My nephew found this floating among the waves at the beach. Dried it out in the sun and, of course, gave it to his Uncle.

    Ram lost at sea (w. pics)

    There was probably a thread on this already but I couldn't find it. I'm sure some of us missed it anyway. It happened a year ago. Apparently, there was a photo shoot and the Ram got stuck on the beach while the tide came in, and before they could do anything... well, take a look! Not the...

    "Next Track" command on uConnect

    Does the "next track" voice command work for anyone in USB source mode or streaming bluetooth mode, especially on the uConnect 5.0 system? It says it does in the uConnect 5.0 manual (highlighted in red below) but even the dealer can't get it to work using multiple phones/iPods/thumb drives on...

    who's had their uConnect replaced?

    After ten months of buggy issues with my uConnect 5.0, the dealer/chrysler finally agreed to replace it under warranty when they couldn't even get the 5.0 update (13.44.33 - 2.3.21) installed at the service centre (through the USB port). I've read a few posts here by people who had the radio...

    How many songs do you have?

    Been trying to figure out for a while why voice commands won't work for music related commands (song, genre, artist etc..) on my 5.0 uconnect. Seems it might have something to do with the number of songs. I have about 4500 tunes (mostly mp3's) on an ipod and the same on a 32gb flash drive. Is...

    parking the truck for 2 months?

    Going to be out of the country for almost two months and the Ram won't get driven. Any tips for parking it while I'm away? Is it true it's not as easy to leave vehicles undriven nowadays with all the technology in 'em? I think I should be able to get someone to start it up a couple times for me-...

    Apple iTunes and Uconnect; opinions please

    So the dealer is telling me the reason that my voice command doesn't work is because Uconnect is having some problems syncing with iTunes files/Apple products. Who else is using an iPhone or iPod for music in their Ram and anyone having issues with formatting? For example; iTunes automatically...

    having fun with Uconnect at the dealership!

    So, I finally took my truck into the dealer to see if they could explain why the voice command on my 5.0 Uconnect doesn't work for controlling the song, artist etc... I leave it with them for an hour and when I return the service guy says to me "Did you get instructions on how to operate the...

    Battery life listening to stereo

    About how long will the 2013 ram 1500 battery safely play the stereo with the engine off before draining the power too low? We used to have a Honda and you couldn't listen for 15 minutes before you needed a boost. :emotions122: Just wondering because now I'm kinda paranoid.

    My Ram kinda looks like....

    Ever noticed your Ram kinda looks like... something else? What does your Ram kinda look like? Post a pic. Only rule is it can't be another truck (other vehicles, OK). You don't have to post a pic of your truck either, but it might help us see the similarities. Before I get to my silver...

    mineral hard water stains when washing truck

    We get our water from a well and the water has lots of minerals (iron, manganese, calcium...). So when I wash the truck, as soon as it dries you can see the mineral streaks on the paint - nothing permanent or anything just streaky because of the hard water. Is there anything I can add to the...

    plastidip in Canada

    Anyone know where to buy this stuff in Canada that's reasonable? I know they carry it at Home Depot in the states but not here. And look at the price difference at the one place I could find it; Home Hardware Canada for $21.99. Price at the US. HD site = $5.98. WTF??? Home Hardware - 11oz...

    stop/start engine feature on which model?

    The stop/start engine feature that turns off the engine when the vehicle is not in motion (at red lights etc...) is only available on the 8 speed version of the 2013 Ram 1500 right? - the same model with the air suspension and the active grill shutters. Just want to confirm that is the case? Thanks.

    debadge and rebadge?

    New forum member here. Did a search and read some threads on debadging, but has anyone ever seen any need for a rebadge? Held my last Ram 1500 for 18 years and don't think I'll be keeping this one quite that long (as nice as it is). I'm assuming a debadge would not have a negative effect on...

    steering wheel volume control

    Hi all, new here. First post. Picked up a 2013 SLT quad 1500 after getting almost two decades out of a '94 1500 4X4. I tried to get steering wheel volume controls but there wasn't one around without adding a lot to price so I settled without. I did notice that there appears to be punch outs...
