    Is it safe to disable MDS on a regular basis?

    I don't know about anyone else's truck, but simply enabling tow/haul mode does NOT turn off MDS! I simply set 8th gear as the highest and that does it.

    Morimoto HID reliability or issues.

    Ok, just took delivery of the Morimoto Ram 2015+ HID low beam kit. How are these working for those of you that have done this? We are looking to install it on Saturday, and I appreciate any tips/tricks on this job. Thank you in advance.

    Anyone using one of the AVS color matched hood protectors?

    These look like a good way to protect the edge of my hood from rock chips. Anyone have pics of AVS Color Match Aeroskin Hood Protector in Brilliant Black Crystal?

    So, an update here. My truck has now sat on the dealers lot for 6 weeks. Last Friday, I was told that the compressor had arrived! Yea!!! They also confirmed that this was indeed the part for my truck. The following Wednesday, I of course heard nothing from the dealership, so I emailed FCA...

    Next update: Dealership now advises that the parts that were supposed to arrive on the 23rd didn't. Go figure. No ETA at this time. I now have to borrow a truck to get some things done that I need to do. How embarrassing it is to explain that my truck is sitting in the shop for weeks with...

    Here's an update on my air suspension compressor issue: Update: I called the corporate phone today, and surprisingly got someone of the phone. He was very polite, and seemed to understand my frustration. Aside from not having my truck to use, the lack of communication between the...

    My truck has been at the dealership for one week now. I had to take time off work to confront them on why it hasn't moved from where it was parked. Had to rattle the service managers cage after a service writer lied about promising me they would "look at it" on Thursday, and didn't. So, they...

    Almost as stupid as someone that makes a comment without any supporting information for their insulting opinion. i.e.- Buying a Red (insert an color) truck is just stupid.

    Looking to buy used RAM 1500 - advice ??

    Avoid the air suspension. Poor reliability and expensive repairs. Other than that, they seem good to go. Looking forward to mine getting out of the shop in a few weeks once they can actually get a new suspension compressor.....

    I very good mechanic once told me that the key to having fewer a/c problems was to run it all the time. That keeps the seals from becoming brittle and leaking out the refrigerant. The fuel penalty is very minimal. Since adopting this habit many years ago, I've never had an a/c issue.

    I should clarify, the auto stays on, but doesn't run the a/c unless it wants to. On my GMC, I could have the a/c on all the time.

    Will do, if it ever stops snowing so I can wash it!

    This is the kind of cool tricks I need to learn about this truck. Thanks!

    I "probably" won't mess with the exhaust, but you never know! Is there a way to disable the MDS without a tuner?

    Thanks. Also, forgot one more: The Sierra's automatic climate control allowed the A/C to be on all the time if you want it. The Ram will not. Winner: Sierra.

    I've only had the Ram for a few days, but here's what I've noticed, etc.: The drivetrain on this truck is amazing. My Sierra had a 5.3 with 6 speed automatic. It was an SLE middle of the road model. It shifted terrible, and I thought something was wrong with it. Nope, apparently it's...

    Thanks! We got 5" of snow yesterday, so it's covered with road salt. I'll post pics once I get it cleaned up and take some. Thanks for the link!

    Thanks everyone. I'll "monitor" the situation to decide if I want to install one. One other ting I'm scratching my head over. I have a single axle trailer that I pull at times to haul my small tractor, mulch, etc. While reading the manual, I find some elaborate series of things to do so that...

    Well, after several hours of negotiation, etc. I bought the truck. Hope I don't regret it. It does drive way nicer than my Sierra. The Sierra transmission had harsh shifts, especially from 2nd to 3rd which seemed to be a problem with every one of them. This Hemi/8 speed combo seems to really...
