    What happens to 4X4 once you put in park

    If you want to be sure about your truck why not simulate this on a lift if you have access or lift the front while trying to turn the front wheels - on a level surface of course. I think the wheel chocks idea is the safest backup plan but if that ramp is that slippery maybe its time for some...

    Solar Panel Charger

    I wasn't sure what you were talking about but my mechanic knew. The one with the slot is for the rear outlet in my truck so we jumped it.

    Solar Panel Charger

    Thanks for the reply. I would just add another outlet as I would prefer to have it all working from the inside and just may need an always on 12V for something else. obtw - I saw one at Harbor Freight too. https://www.harborfreight.com/15-watt-solar-battery-charger-62449.html

    Solar Panel Charger

    Good deal. And worked it OK? 1.8 Wats was enuff? My 2016 3500 Laramie doesn't seem to have a 12 port that is live with the Key Off but that's another problem.

    Solar Panel Charger

    Is there a kit or a wiring diagram available for a Solar Panel Charger? My 2016 3500 Laramie has been sitting a lot lately and I'm wanting to keep the batteries from discharging to far. I'm not aware that any of the cigarette lighters are active with the engine OFF or a way to change that so...

    3500 HD

    IMO it was just enuff time for them to close the doors and get outta there. The other mistake was not letting the tow operator jump it.

    Is Upgrading To Factory Navigation Worth It?

    After several Garmin gps's the recent updates have botched the directions and often will show a R turn but say L and vice versa or circle around your destination. Musta been some disgruntled programmers parting shots. I still put Garmin On but use Waze on the phone - the maps are automatically...

    Ram now spells Customer Service as ***

    In 1989 after the Toyota dealer fixed the same problem for me 5 times I called the Regional office - they couldn't care less. Needless to say, I haven't been back. ... Just sayin

    Synthetic Diesel Oil

    I'm a new RAM owner and made the mistake of having the dealer change the oil while it was there for some extended warranty work - replacing the radio. At $556 that won't happen again - I thought it was covered. To make matters worse IMO - they didn't even top off the washer fluid. I've not...

    Load OSM maps into Nav system?

    No help here ... but I'm interested in learning how to update OSM maps into a Garmin GPS. Have had several Garmins thru the years, I now have 2 1490 w/lifetime maps and the most recent updates suck and turned 1 into a brick and out-of-memory errors, etc. Garmin was no help - suggesting I buy...
