    Moisture inside Cabin?

    I have a '14 Ram 1500 4 door. During the summer months it isn't used often as my Miata becomes the vehicle of choice except for when it rains. I recently used the truck and noticed some moisture build up on the inside of the windshield. Running the defogger removed it after a while (it was...

    Front Shocks '14 4X4 New Bilstein 4600 Series.

    I have a pair of Bilstein 4600 Series replacement shocks. I purchased them for my truck but by the time I realized I should have gotten the complete strut I couldn't return them to Tire Rack. I decided to farm out the work and my mechanic was having a tough time and we agreed to get complete...

    USB in Console

    My console/armrest has two USB connectors. One on the left which is for the connection to the stereo/music system. One on the right which is a power outlet. Both will provide power to charge my phone but when I use the sound system one it overrides whatever is currently on the radio (stock). The...

    Removing Center Console Armrest Area 2014

    I'm considering installing a factory style CD player in my '14 1500 RAM but am not having much luck removing the center console armrest "pit" to see what I need to do as far as the install is concerned. There are four screws holding the part in place but it appears that there are other things...

    Danged Lousy Headlights!

    I know, another headlight thread! I have a '14 RAM with the stock useless headlights. I've tried adding LED's but am not happy with the results and realize I need to spend the money on something better. I've decided that the TYC stuff is the way to go but I need some assistance. As I understand...

    9005 LED Conversion

    I'm giving thought to changing my high beams to LED bulbs. The stock one is a 9005 and there are plenty of aftermarket LED units available. Do I need to install anything beyond the bulbs for them to work properly? I did a low beam conversion and got the kit with the electrical adapter so I'm...

    Old Guy Needs Replacement Headlights

    I've looked over all sorts of threads here and elsewhere for input and made myself more confused than informed. Back in the day when cars had 7" round lights replacements and upgrades were straightforward. A set of Hella's or Cibie's and you were done. Obviously today things are a tad more...

    OEM Radio P/C Only?

    Last summer purchased a CPO RAM that came without a CD player. After posting my frustration and attempting to find an OEM replacement I decided to temporarily go the suggested route of the Flash Drive to have some of my music with me. I downloaded my tunes from iTunes on my Mac. I plugged the...

    Parking Sensors

    My front parking sensors, specifically the left front on the corner, has decided to indicate that I am ready to hit something constantly. The truck had been parked for a day and was fine when I parked it. When I started it up the sensor was squawking. Cleaning it did no good so I turned off the...

    Miles to Service Indicator

    When I bought my CPO '14 the service guy at the dealer told me (I thought) that the series of 6 or 7 dots across the top of the screen showing the tire pressures was the "miles to service" indicator. More dots illuminated, less miles left to service. Made sense as I'd owned vehicles with similar...

    HID Conversion Questions

    I'm probably stupid, but I've read as much as I could find on headlight conversions to replace the candle and reflector type lights my truck has from the factory. I am not grasping the separate High and Low bulb thing. I understand they exist, just not the idea of changing the low vs the high...

    Care and feeding of Leather Steering Wheel

    I've been wondering what the more preferred way is to take care of the leather steering wheel on my RAM. I'm assuming a simple occasional use of saddle soap? The truck is a CPO but is still in great shape and I don't want things to go sour because I was lazy or stupid. Although I've had lace on...

    Rear Fender Liner Screws

    I recently picked up a CPO '14 RAM. I noticed that the rear fender liners were missing the top center screw on both sides. I stopped at a dealership today and checked out a few trucks, both used and brand new. They all were missing the same top center screws. I didn't look to see if there was a...

    Bed Drains?

    I recently got my '14 and hadn't thought about bed drains until this weekend when I noticed a goodly amount of water puddled in the bed against the cab. I thought about clogged drains like I used to have in my '90 Dakota. That truck would puddle like crazy but it was a DD so I had fun with the...

    Wiring in the console for CD player?

    Before I begin let me state that I'm not interested in suggestions for alternatives to CD's, thank you. I am planning on installing a CD player in my '14 console and wondered if anyone knows if the wiring harness is already set up or if I'd have to run my own leads? I am planning on searching...

    OEM CD Player Wanted

    I'm one of the "old school" who wants to install an OEM style CD player in the console of my newly acquired 2014 1500 RAM. I saw one somewhere that was designed to plug and play, but now that I'm serious I can't locate one. I thought it was a vendor/sponsor but I just went though them all and...

    Steering Feel/Feedback

    I recently acquired a CPO RAM and have been trying to come to grips with the silly steering. I test drove several others and they all felt the same, but it's starting to get to me after a few weeks of ownership. The steering feels totally disconnected from the driving experience. The wheel makes...

    2TZ and 26Z Package?

    I just acquired a CPO RAM that shows a 2TZ and a 26Z package on the Equipment listing. I tried to search exactly what they are but had no luck. Can anyone enlighten me?

    '14 Ram Thoughts after a week of ownership

    I had been waffling about getting a RAM to replace my '01 Dakota for quite some time, probably a year or more. I recently retired and began looking a bit closer and finally allowed myself to get bit by the bug. I bought a CPO '14 RAM about a week ago. In that time I put close to 800 miles on the...

    Headlight Upgrade

    Just picked up a CPO '14 Ram with standard headlights. I was sadly disappointed in their inability to illuminate dark roads well. Not quite as bad as my Dakota, but not too much better either. My '11 Subaru Outback puts the RAM to shame! What is generally used as an "upgrade"? I'm for...

    Lifetime Warranty?

    I was reading through posts the other day and saw mention of lifetime warranties being available. Naturally at the time it was interesting but not worth checking out. Today my views have changed but I can't find the posts. I vividly recall one poster claiming that two in particular were what he...

    Moving from a 2nd Gen Dakota

    I'm in the process of trying to decide if I want to make the jump to a RAM. I have been driving Dakota's for 27 years having the first gen and now a 2nd gen. I currently have an '01 4X4 club cab with the 3.9 V6. For the most part the truck has been great. The issues I currently have are the...
