    Cruise control not turning on with enable button **** Sometimes

    I had this happen in the first year of owning the truck. I'd hit the right side of the steering wheel and it would start working for a bit. I guess I finally hit it hard enough, it's been working for the past 4 years no problems.

    Recirc button

    Maybe it has to do with what the heater/AC is doing when the recirc button is pressed, if it's in auto is it heating, cooling, defrosting? I'm not sure if recirc is locked out in any of those modes. I enabled the auto controls as part of upgrading the radio to the 8.4 inch and I never installed...

    Recirc button

    Were the heater controls in "Auto" mode? Mine does that when I try to manually enable recirc when Auto mode is enabled.

    4th gen ram courtesy lights/Footwell lights

    According to the tracking info mine should be delivered today. Ordered on Friday and delivered across the county on Monday, sounds like good service by Ramsportrocks to me!

    4th gen ram courtesy lights/Footwell lights

    Similar to Joe Merchak I had a great experience purchasing a set of lights from Ramsportrocks. From my first inquiry to tracking info was about 2 hours on a Friday, and then had them dropped off at the Post Office by 10 am on Saturday. He was very friendly and helpful the whole time, and at my...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Drove it and hit 88,888 miles. I'm trying to decide if I should put it up for sale now with the intention of buying a new truck at the end of the year, or keep it and buy/install a "used ecu". It's been a great truck with no problems but I'm a bit worried about possible failures once the...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Washed it, filled the tank, and cleaned the MAP sensor. The truck's at 77k miles without a tune (I would get the GDE if I could but, California!), there were no codes but the sensor was thoroughly caked over. Also took the tail gate off and cleaned/re-greased the pivot points, and put the...

    RamBox worth getting?

    I'll add that you can find truck beds, with and without Ramboxes, for sale. If you get the Ramboxes and don't like them you swap beds to go with one without. Bed's with Ramboxes are a bit harder to find.

    Used ecodiesel buying advice

    Awesome, congrats on the new (to you) truck. Don't forget to post some pictures when you get time. I love mine, I used it when my daily commute was 150 miles, driven it from Santa Cruz to Portland a few times, and packed the family (with 3 teenagers in the back seat) and drove it to Utah a...

    Used ecodiesel buying advice

    There are several Ram Diesel forums, I usually go to ram1500diesel.com for info specific to my ecodiesel. I visit this forum for general Ram info. I'd first try to find out if the truck has a tune and how long it has had it for. This generation of ecodiesel engine pulled sooty exhaust back to...

    Added USB Charging ports to rear doors

    If you're just looking for the USB port there are many on Amazon. I got mine there and spliced into the door wiring. If you want the plug and play kit you can check with DoughRat19 in this thread.

    Some parts are getting hard to find

    I found the best price on a dash cap and bezel at LMC truck. I didn't want to go glue a cover on didn't have much faith in getting a good one from the junkyard. The OEMs are known for cracking and falling apart and I figure one from a junkyard has a limited life. The ones from LMC are already...

    I’m an idiot! Warranty company

    While you're talking to your local dealer it'd be good to get some quotes from dealers out of your area as well. I think I purchased mine from Ziegler, it was $1200 less than the dealer offered. There are multiple threads on this forum about it. Zeigler: https://www.factoryplans.com/ Also...
