    New Ram owner. I crossed over. I may have made the wrong choice

    The ‘19 Silverado 1500 I had utilized the variable valve terrain and auto shut off at stops. I hated the engine shutting off at stops so usually ran with that option turned off. Then a family member who is an automotive engineer educated me on the benefits of the system and that as long as you...

    Setting Up WDH on the 3500

    My 2500 hitch dropped a lot more than I expected when I hooked up the camper. Tongue weight is 770#, total trailer weight is no more than 7500#. I attributed this to the coil spring rear suspension, since I’m new to that. Once I had it set up, it actually leveled out nice, but the front is about...

    Unstable Towing with our 1500

    Gross combined weight rating? All the suggestions to weigh the truck loaded for a trip, the truck and trailer loaded up, and the truck and trailer loaded with the wdh are key. But even if you dial it in, it may still waddle because you are at the top of your gross combined. I have a 29’ Freedom...

    Diesel fuel mileage

    I had a ‘10 F250 with a 6.4 powerstroke tuned with an xrt tuner to the hd tune, .343 rearend, 20’s. Supposedly, that was the best tune for mileage while towing. It towed my ‘05 Jayco 29FBH easily but still only got maybe 12 mpg. It also cracked a piston at 206k and I had to replace the engine...

    Please help my confusion... What is the towing capacity for a 2021 2500 ram with the diesel engine

    When I bought my truck, my salesman at the dealer set me up with Ram support. On the main page for my truck by vin number, it provides all the towing information. Mine is a 2021 2500 Bighorn package, 6.7 Cummins, .373 11.5” axle, 6 speed automatic, 20” rims, crew cab 6’4” bed. Depends on your...

    Tail Won't Seal - Tyger Roll Up Tonneau

    I just put the same cover on my truck. Had a difficult time getting the tailpiece to latch. I shaved a burr off of the top of the latch bolt on both sides and it was just enough to let it slide in. Since then it latches stiff but not a struggle and seals like it should.

    Uconnect GPS settings

    Well, I went to mute the old gal last night and thought just for grins and giggles what if I turn her voice off after turning it down, then turn it back on? After turning the gps volume down to 3, I turned the voice commands off, turned them back on, turned the ignition off, opened the door...

    Uconnect GPS settings

    We might just have to do that.

    Uconnect GPS settings

    We tried using the GPS on our ‘21 2500 Bighorn, but every time we get out and shut the truck off the volume cranks back up to 15 even though I had it set at 3. Seems to be the only setting that doesn’t save. Really don’t want the salty old girl yelling at me all the time. Any of you all have a...
