    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

    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...

    I will never buy another mopar product in ny life !!!!!!!!

    I think it comes down to which dealer you have, though brand quality is a contributing factor. Some dealers are horrible and all the complaints in the world will not make them any better. The percentage of bad Mopar dealers is probably not much different than other brands. I find dishonesty and...

    Electrical system dead

    You are describing a bad battery connection. It can supply enough juice for the interior lights but under starter load the voltage drops to zip. It could also be the battery with internal problems. A bad internal connection between cells will produce the same symptoms. Start by checking and...

    Picking a nerf bar

    I am going with stainless, no matter what I get, so I should not have to deal with rust or bad powder coating. I will probably hit some local dealers to see what is out there. Most stuff is available for standard cab. That does not seem to be a problem. I have seen that plastic side piece...

    Picking a nerf bar

    My 07 Ram standard cab is at stock height but I am short and getting out has caused a real problem. As I reach for the ground with my foot, my jeans often snag on the seat side shield, the piece of plastic that holds the power seat switch and back rest lever. I broke and replaced it once. That...

    Battery running down when parked on 07 Ram 1500 5.7L

    It I discovered that the vehicle has a shutdown pattern. It draws 1.2 A and then 0.6 A and slowly toggles back and forth. Then it drops to the expected 13 ma. I did not time it but it is not very long. The original problem was that the battery was just shot. I replaced it. I lost track of how...

    Battery running down when parked on 07 Ram 1500 5.7L

    I confess. I have left one of the over head map lights on a time or two. There is no under hood light. I was kind of surprised at that. It is an SLT and it has most of those little extras. The dome light is not switchible and goes out when it should. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Battery running down when parked on 07 Ram 1500 5.7L

    After coming out to a dead battery a few times, and thinking I must have left something on or the battery was not holding charge, I finally realized that it was always when the truck sat for a bit. After the last time, after charging the battery, I took off a terminal, hooked up an ammeter and...

    EGR valve

    I previously replaced an egr valve a few years ago. Several weeks ago the error came back for a while and then. disappeared. It recirculates dirty exhaust fumes to the intake manifold to be reburned. The computer opens and closes it but it can get so gummed up that that it sticks. You can take...
