    Used Canadian RAMs in US

    This basically. You can take a Canadian truck in on trade at market Canadian price, then wholesale it to a US wholesaler or dealer for the same price but in USD and make your margins there. As for rust, some of the Prairie provinces use sand on the road instead of salt. They have less rust...

    Best Way to Clear Rear Sunroof Drains

    Well go in my truck today and at the first corner heard a slosh of water then a mess of it poured out of my over head console then the a pillar grab handles. This is now the 4th time I've had water leaks with my truck (2016, had sunroof glass replaced x1, CHMSL gasket replaced x1 and the...

    Confused on park assist & hooking trailer up

    Park Assist shouldn't be stopping you from backing up, the only auto stop I thought Rams had was the door thing as mentioned. Also in my truck I can turn them off any time by hitting the switches under the radio, never had an issue with them coming back on once I did that and no issues getting...

    Gasoline in my Diesel. My worst nightmare come true.

    Sorry to hear OP. FWIW we run a pretty decent sized fleet here and have pumps on site. Been a number a of instances of a fuel mix up, never have one of the diesel pickups been fatally wounded. Worst I can recall is having to replace some injectors. It will sting but not kill, good luck with the...

    Had my 2013 Ram 1500 SLT for 2 weeks and a problem Help.

    Noise when you push the brakes is normal, that's the solenoid that releases the shifter so you can move it out of park. Safety measure to prevent people from shifter in to gear without engaging the brakes first. As for the hard start, start with the basics. Any codes? Check the condition of...

    Questions about black truck....

    Are they all standard road rash wear and tear, or are some caused swirls and marring installed by washing? If you're not already doing so I suggest using a 2 or 3 bucket wash routine, with a grit guard in each, using good products as swirls and marring "love marks" show up much quicker on a...

    Aftermarket OEM Style Bumpers

    Is there a body shop supplier local to you? The place collision centers order there parts from that is to say. Generally those places will be able to tell you who has junk stampings and steel and who has good fitment for aftermarket. For what it's worth I've ordered bumpers and fenders that were...

    Falken wildpeak at3w

    I ran the original Wild Peak A/T in 305/55 on my 06 Laramie and was overall satisfied with them at their price point. Glad to see Falken stepped it up another notch in the looks and performance, may have to give the AT3W's a go based on this thread.

    Parking Sensors

    Mine do this in our sub zero Canadian winters. If I really get annoyed I'll go out with the wifes hair dryer and get them warm which normally restores function, or in a few cases I've valeted the truck at the local Casino where it gets parked in a heated garage for a couple hours while I get...

    2015 sport with leveling kit..

    Why is the choice 35s with stock or 33s with a new wheel? Price? Either way my vote is to stay in the 33-34" tall tire sizes. On my leveled 2006 3rd gen I ran both a 35 and a 33 tire size combo, in the end most people couldn't tell much difference in size from the 35's to the 33's and the truck...

    2018 Laramie 1500 4X4 5.7L - To switch gears, or not to switch gears?

    4x4 or 4x2? 4x4 is going to be twice the cost (obviously), which in my area is around $400-$500 per axle depending on brand of gear. Plus whatever your dealer charges you to have the sales code reflashed to the 3.92 gears.

    Drive through carwash and wider wheels...

    Most car washes have a maximum height and width the attendant should be able to find or know. In my area there's only one drive through I use and it's touchless, has no wheel tracks or guards you just drive in to the centre until it says stop then it does it job. Considering I've seen 2500s with...

    2019 RAM 1500: more scoop...

    I saw one video that called a truck a Laramie "Sport Edition" and another that had a Big Horn with color matched bumpers/flares/grill. So I'm wondering if the Sport level is becoming a option group like Ford did the the F150 and the Fx4 moniker. Either way, I freakin love the 19 truck. Going...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Interior Rattles - Had about 4-5 trips to dealer to try and resolve the same rattle in headliner and in passenger side grab handle area to no avail. Still working on that. Sunroof Leaks - Leaked really bad through headliner speakers when I first got it, was told it was a TSB on 16's as they had...

    Not alone, this drives me nuts on mine as well. Probably going to end up rigging something like this up

    my Uconnect, Help.

    Are you in Canada? No uconnect apps for Canada. 2016+ trucks have an apps button but it's just the radio settings and ability to add and organize hot-keys for things like heated seats, rear camera, etc.

    Tire Size Question

    What tire size is that? Also for snow tires you usually want to go narrower vs wider.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    The fact they put white letter tires on the Sports. Totally stands out against the colour matched trucks. Have to flip them.

    Hemi fuel consumption.

    No problem, happy to try and help. Not trying to bag on the Ecodiesel at all, it's a very cool motor and it's been delivering the fuel economy it touts. But at $6700 in the Outdoorsman, $4700 in Big Horn to Laramie Longhorn and $4000 on Laramie Limited, I would have to do wayyyyyy more driving...

    Hemi fuel consumption.

    That was all highway, under to at 120km/h the entire trip. And yes, when you know the approximate L/KM usage on each truck under the conditions you intend to use it in, you can do the math to see what makes sense, prepare for me to go full accountant. So if what I'm reading here is correct...

    Hemi fuel consumption.

    Another Ontario Ram here. 2016 Sport 1500 4X4. Just completed a trip from Windsor to Collingwood and back. My EVIC telling me I got 11L/100KM round trip, 95% highway with a couple beer runs in to town and back plus a run to the golf course. My daily drive is all city stop and go and get...
