    Uconnect Navigation Map Update

    I've received several offers to buy an update to my Navigation Mapping and finally bought it. Just got the USB and directions on how to update. Seems rather...time consuming? Anyone else try this lately? The steps seem straight forward, I just find it difficult to believe that I need to...

    Another Key Fob Issue - 2017 Ram 1500

    I got my 2017 Ram 1500 just about three years ago this month. The two key fobs that came with it have both begun to exhibit the same problem. At random times, when being carried either in my hnad or pocket. each one will just start trying to start the vehicle with the remote start system. The...

    Parking Brake cable sagging low

    I noticed that my e-brake cable was hanging low on my '17 Ram 1500 a few days ago. I was able to get it in my dealer's shop this morning for them to look at it. Now I've never had a need to use my e-brake so the only time it gets activated is during our annual state-mandated inspection. They...

    Wrong Fluid in Coolant Tank

    Based on the various replies, we are going to have the coolant drained, the system flushed, and re-filled with MOPAR anti-freeze. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time, might as well invest in good maintenance. Thanks for all the advice.

    Wrong Fluid in Coolant Tank

    "A friend of a friend" made a little mistake. This person was trying to top off his windshield washer tank and accidentally poured about a quart of washer fluid into the coolant before realizing his mistake. One quart in an 18+ liter coolant tank. Is this a problem? Should he be concerned...

    Do you take off as soon as the engine starts?

    I might be misunderstanding some people, but it seems to me that those who let their car idle for long periods on cold mornings are doing it to let the cabin warm up rather than worrying about their engines. Still not a good idea.

    Does the orange washer fluid still mess up Rams and Jeeps sensor?

    My 1500 showed a low washer fluid warning a few weeks back. I picked up a new jug of RainX, filled the resevoir, but the warning light still shows. Can't find it now but there was a short YouTube video of a Ram Owner fashioning a way to tape a toothbrush to a long wire and insert this into the...

    Rearend collision Test - Ram 1 Mitsubishi 0

    One of the extras that came on my 2017 Ram 1500 was the Park Assist option. I did not realize it at first but it is EXTREMELY helpful in parking, especialy considering the size of my truck and the difficulty seeing over the hood and behind.

    Pin Holes in Resonator/Muffler for Drainage?

    Need some input from the Ram community on this one. Over the past month I've had two instances of a leak. Happens on a cold morning (below 30 degree) when I let my truck warm up for 2-4 minutes then drive about a mile to my local Cumbies for coffee and a WSJ. Come back out and I see a leak...

    Rearend collision Test - Ram 1 Mitsubishi 0

    Same thing happened to me just 6 days after I picked up my new (to me) used Ram 1500. Only this driver did have insurance. MSP Trooper who responded only did an exchange of information report since he "estimated" less than a $1000 of damage to my truck. Actually came to around $1600 or so...

    Why the hate?

    There used to be three things which you did not discuss in polite company. Trucks can rapidly devolve into this arena.
