    Map Update

    I just finished installing and testing out my latest map update. This one had some significant road changes unlike the one I did 2 years ago which didn't seem to have many changes at all. Seems well worth the 150 bucks. My only complaint is that it is such a cumbersome procedure and took...

    Can’t fill my Ram Truck with Gas

    I had the same problem on a Ford Escape a few years ago. Took it in and dealer said they fixed it but didn't. I took it back and asked for a specific mechanic that I knew outside of his work. He assessed the issue and discovered that the fill tube which was welded to the tank was crimped...

    Z96 HPFP Recall

    I received the original Z96 Recall notice in the mail but nothing since. I accidentally found out that parts were sort of available. By the time I got in touch with my dealer to make an appointment I was 25th in line and understand that Chrysler is only sending one set of parts per week to...

    Air Suspension - who knew?

    My 2021 Limited the aero mode kicks in at 65mph and will usually stay there until almost at a stop. I especially like how the air suspension fine tunes my trailer towing attitude and keeps everything level in normal mode.

    Cargo Sliding

    I installed a bed rug in my Limited Longhorn because what we usually haul are suitcases. The bed rug has velcro attachments. I load them with the handles facing rearward then loop a buckle strap thru the handles and thru the steel loops at each side of the bed. They stay where you left them.

    How do I change suspension for softer ride?

    I have a 21 1500 Limited Longhorn with the air. It is a very plush ride with the added bonus that it automatically fine tunes the ride height when I'm towing our camping trailer. It also has a disable (tire jack) mode to employ while hitching/unhitching so it doesn't fight your efforts...

    PHone and Accessory Mounting.

    Check Proclipusa.com. They have some very clean vehicle mounts and device holders that leave no trace when they are removed.

    2024 Ram Limited standard equipment?

    I have a 21 Limited Longhorn so It's probably not relative to your 24. It did however come with so much standard stuff that to this day I don't know everything it has, especially when looking at the 2 pages of apps. I will say I was fortunate in that it came with everything I ordered with no...

    GPS Map Update

    I use a Garmin RV760 on trips. (have a ProClip mount on my Ram dash). I will preplan my routes day by day on Mapsource and upload them into my Garmin. I then have a full suite of information each travel day of our trips including 2 additional trip logs. I use the Ram GPS locally.

    Def Consumption

    Never bothered checking the DEF consumption on my Ecodiesel however I recently topped it off before a 1500 mile trip at mostly highway speeds so I filled again as soon as I got home. (luckily we have a Shell station nearby that has a standard size DEF nozzle). Consumption turned out to be 788...

    difficulty filling fuel tank

    I had a 2008 Escape Hybrid that filled very slowly. I took it into the dealer who had a tech work on it with no improvement. I took it back and requested a mechanic who I personally knew and they said he normally didn't work on hybrids but he would assign my friend and a hybrid mechanic to...

    2500 warranty & extended warranty? Worth it?

    It normally shouldn't matter but there is a possibility of a price increase or a downgrade in services provided. On the other hand if you delay you can keep your money working for you although it's not a lot of money if you buy from one of the discounters.

    Eco diesel

    I've had my 2021 going on 2 years and zero issues. The only time in the shop is for routine oil changes and a wheel alignment. I've towed a 7,000# trailer about 6,000 miles am very pleased with how it handles the load. I live in Oregon so have to deal with hills just about everywhere we go...
