    Switch panels

    Bought but never used them. $75 for all 3. Would prefer not to split them up.

    Diagnostic fee

    Update: the tech heard the noise on startup and got the MaxCare approval to do the repair (both sides) without the diagnostic fee. A good dealership.

    Diagnostic fee

    So I took my 1500 in for 4 tires and an oil change. I asked them to check for an exhaust leak as I hear a ticking on cold start and RAMs are known for exhaust manifold bolt issues. They wanted a $175 diagnostic fee! For what? To listen for a leak? I'll wait til it goes and then use my MaxCare...

    Travel Trailer Towing

    2015 1500 Express with 3.21. Finally hit the scales with my 27.5' Sunline. Just over 3400 on front axle. Just over 4000 on the rear. 5500 trailer axle weight (couldn't get separate axle weights). Have to weigh truck alone next time, and lighten the bed load a little, I think. Tows well with a...

    Airlift 1000HD pressure, and sway bar opinions

    1000 lb. tongue weight? That is a lot of tongue weight for a 1500. What are you towing?

    Extended Warranty

    Get MOPAR max max care warranty. Don't think the unlimited is available any longer, but I think there are 7 year warranties. They are (or were) bumper to bumper. Do a search on this forum for dealers selling them at a good price. I got mine from a dealer in Wisconsin. $2700 for Lifetime. Good...

    2020 Camping season.....over before it starts?

    Trip for Dover race cancelled. Memorial Day in VA cancelled. When things do reopen, it will be a mad dash to get reservations!

    5th Wheel Towing

    Google search 2014 RAM 2500 towing capacity. There is a 30 pg. document covering all combinations of the truck.

    tow behind 5th wheel

    Don't know what state you live in, but I don't think that setup would be legal.

    Park Assist - Truck stops moving?!?!

    Interesting. I wonder what size is needed for 1500 since reviews say not universal? I'll have to measure seat belt.

    Park Assist - Truck stops moving?!?!

    You can bypass the auto park feature by locking the seat belt behind you. My dealer is allegedly allowing me to decline that install when I see him this Saturday. Update to come.

    What determines payload and towing capacity? Comparing 1/2 tons.

    Remember, adding air bags and changing tires does not increase your payload. The RAM 1500 suspension springs are much softer than Ford and Chevy. Hence the substantially greater payload on those makes. My 2017 1500 Hemi payload is around 1800 lbs. My friend's Ford F-150 Eco with a turbo 6 has a...

    2017 ram 1500 5th wheel

    Grand Design makes a fifth wheel that is !/2 ton towable, just not by a RAM half ton. The payload limitation is the only thing I don't like about my 1500.

    1500 rolls down hill with brake on?

    No, he is saying if vehicle is in motion, don't shift transmission into park (if it not). Use foot brake or parking brake to stop vehicle, then shift to park. Shifting to park is what engages the "parking pawl" in the trans. Also, don't use Park alone to hold vehicle, especially on an incline...

    Under-hood lighting installed!

    No insulation lining under the hood? Mine has some.
  19. silver surfer

    What is this??

    I put the light kit in and had a helluva time getting the dummy plug out.

    Auto-Park recal

    Is this recall mandatory? Or can I tell my dealer not to do it?

    New to Towing - Basic Questions

    Another thing to look at is insurance. You're towing someone else's commercial trailer. Is your insurance covering his trailer, or is his business insurance covering your truck?

    Blind spot mirrors?

    I have the Wadestars as well. Excellent product.

    Mice found my truck.....

    Yeah, I did the mothballs under the hood on my wife's car. Didn't know they melt in the heat. Took weeks to get the smell out of the car.

    1st travel trailer and have questions if my RAM will tow

    Your towing capacity number seems low to me. I have a 2015 Express with same setup. My towable rating is over 8000 lbs. I tow a 27' trailer (4500 lbs. empty (not dry wt.), 7k gross with a 630 tongue weight) with some weight in the bed as well. I would definitely invest in a weight distribution...

    Transmission Temp?

    My 2015 QC1500 with 8 speed usually runs trans temp in the 170s. Only hits 190s when uphill towing.
