    Enough is enough!

    I have found high quality auxiliary amber driving lights, aimed currectly do a number of things well. They provide the needed lighting with contrast so white lines can be seen on blacktop Work well in inclement weather like blinding snow Can be poisitioned low and aimed low as the ground...

    Exhaust tips.

    Well I finally ditched my stock exhaust tips. I had some carbon fiber bmw M series tips laying around from another job. The pipe is begged than the ram exhaust pipe but smaller than 2.5 inches so I had to fabricate some pipe for the tips to slide on to and to weld to my stock ball and socket...

    Unbelieveable towing experience

    Agreed, this truck tows and works like a dream. It is like I am almost cheating. I utilize my Android auto as the new Uconnect is a huge disappointment.

    Backing up and brake is applied for no reason.

    Yup my truck used to slam the brakes on, now it is turned off and I am a guy that hates to disable the factory electronics bit that is just to damn intrusive

    Surging idle after overnight cold soak

    Well sounds like I need to plan a visit to the dealer. My sunglass holder doesn't work, my memory seats do not work, and my mood lighting is calling out of the dash on the passenger side. Get all that fixed and the flash and it will be like having a new truck!

    2019 Limited chrome side trim removal?

    I have wondered about removing the side trim also. I would also like to go to black trim around the windows. A black Laramie longhorn grill would finish it off with some nice wheels. A car guy is never done lol.

    Auto High Beam issue

    I had to have my limited calibrated twice before it worked right. No one wants to stay after hours and actually wait for it to get dark. But with Daylight savings time I had more luck

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    Yeah android auto just pushed a Beta version, and I no longer have voice to text capability and I have to unplug my phone from the usb port to answer it. The user convenience features on this truck are abysmal at best. I really could not have imagined, this level of poor workmanship and product...

    Surging idle after overnight cold soak

    Mine does it to. I do a fair amount of software mapping for a popular OEM and I am pretty confident there is a bad spot in the fueling map during warm up. It is not a large one, but when you hit those magic operating conditions, our 60K truck sounds and feels like it was calibrated by Big Als...

    Problems with USB and Android phone calls

    Same here with Samsung Galaxy 9. I finally gave in to using Android Auto because U-connect is never going to be fixed, and now Android Auto is giving me grief. My 2015 RAM entertainment system was way more sorted out that this conglomeration of software atrocities. If I could gut the center...

    SXM Guardian worth it or not? Pro’s/Con’s

    This right here is what bothers me the most! I have had an FCA product since 2009 and I paid less for better software. My 2015 ram worked wonderfully. I upgraded and I am getting less features (stuff that works right) for a higher subscription. For reference I never let the services lapse in my...

    Memory Seats.

    My wife is very short and we share vehicles, for the last 15 years we have been purchasing vehicles that have the memory seat option as it solves the "you jacked up my seat settings" issue. I have had my 2019 for over a year and I have set my profile countless times, but when I hit the number 1...

    I love my Truck but [insert] drives me crazy thread

    I am really happy with the ride and comfort of the RAM. Ever since they have gone to coil springs and trailing arms, these trucks have handled and rode a step above the competition. The hemi and ZF 8 speed ar a match made in heaven, perfect drivetrain for a truck. The seat were good in the 4th...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    Just because it hooks up to AA does not mean a thing. It is broke because my sirius XM subscription does not work correctly. There 8s a button that explicity states I can text like I used to on my 2015 Sport, but it does not work. My source select does not work correctly when my phone is...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    If i have to have my phone connected, why have a phone screen? Why have a wireless charging doc, why have bluetooth capability? Why have an app screen? It is obvious the truck was intended to have a functioning Uconnect system, and it obviously doesn't. If your going to go the way of AA. Then do...

    Owners w/12in screen, are you REQUIRED to renew with a premium sirius pkg?

    So I just got off the phone with Sirius XM and they told me they have had luck using the premium package and gave me a free upgrade since I had a year left on my trial package without guardian XM. I am not pleased with the new Sirius XM Uconnect. Not at all. It does not work as good as the the...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    I have had my truck since last spring and this was my first complaint. There is a button on the screen that indicates we should be able to do a voice to text feature, but when hou press it, it asks for a predefined message. The uconnect voice text was great, regardless of were my phone was in my...

    New Wheels & Tires For My 2019 RAM REBEL

    I did not think Black Rhino made a stock offset wheel for our trucks. It is close but not stock. I am very interested in their wheels, but curious as to how they fit.

    Just put a deposit on a '19 Laramie, but have a concern...

    I have had two Rams where I added the LSD after I purchased it. Never had one issue and the aftermarket versions seem to work better any way. I wanted the LSD for hauling my 23 foot day cruiser up slippery boat ramps. 4x4 works just fine but I felt safer with bit of redundancy. As others have...

    Difference between grills?
