    2001 ram 1500 5.2l

    If the gas cap is not the culprit (it never was the source of the evap leak on my 2001), get your system smoke tested. The Meineke in Greensboro did mine and found the leak in the hoses between the evap canisters that the dealership from almost day one of it being brand new couldn't/wouldn't find.

    Intro

    Welcome to the forum, fellow Master Sergeant, from a former shirt. I still hate the new stripes. Looks like Senior Tech Sergeant.

    01 Ram Clicking under dash, passenger side

    Unfortunately, I think you will at least have to rotate it down to get to the ductwork. I took mine to the dealer to have it repaired so I can't say for certain. I think that was after I had replaced the upper dash pad by myself, and I wasn't about to do that again or replace the heater core...

    01 Ram Clicking under dash, passenger side

    Just a guess on my part, but I'd say it's either the actuator or the blend door or both. I had both replaced in my 2001 because the part of the door that the actuator connected to had broken off.

    Delaminating 8.4" Display U-Connect 4

    Hmmm, a 2019 8.4 delaminating. I thought that was only a 2018 radio problem. I wonder if they had an overage of 2018 radios and put them in the 2019 trucks.

    5th Gen HD Head Restraint in a 4th Gen Ram

    Good to know. But can you now tilt your head back to drink a bottle of water? That was the biggest reason I moved my rear headrest to the driver's seat. Plus, the back of the brim of my cowboy hats was hitting the top of it. That wasn't as much of a problem because I hardly wear my hat in...

    Tesla Trucks rusting

    Wait a minute. I can't get past the part that someone actually bought one of these.

    Whining noise while coasting

    Check the pinion gear on the rear diff. I had the same whine when coasting on my 2001 1500, but I didn't know if it was the rear end or a rear wheel bearing. Then, one day I came to a stop at a red light and a blue cloud of smoke passed the cab. Luckily, I could see the Aamco that did my...

    New to Ram trucks

    Welcome! Lemme know if you see my dad driving my old 1500 around Karns.

    Reprogramming a new fob

    OP, you might want to think about getting all the lock cylinders repinned/replaced, too, because someone has the key to the doors now.

    Bumpers & Tail Gates?

    I was going to say LMC Truck, but Stavinski beat me to it. I ordered a grille for my 2001 1500, and they instead sent me a chrome rear step bumper for a mid-70s Chevy truck so they must be good with bumpers, too.

    Emergency door release???

    A sticker's not a good idea. The transmission release can be used to steal a vehicle if the thief has a rollback and a winch. A good thief already knows it's there, but they may be making their own key fob instead. No sense telling the bad ones about it with a sticker. One company sells a...

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

    It may be white road paint. I got yellow road paint all over the side of my 2001 1500 while driving through a construction zone on I-25. No road painting sign anywhere. I was able to remove most of it at a high pressure car wash, but it took a lot of quarters.

    Maximum Gb for USB Media

    That's one of the many things that have irked me with these radios. Not a bit of info in the truck owner's manual or the UConnect manual about flash drive or filetype requirements or how to make the playlists and cover art to work. 32 GB flash drives have worked for me, too. Got all my CDs on...
