    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Got a 2019 5.7 ticker in my Ram 1500. If it sits overnight or longer it will usually but not always get the startup ticking, which goes away after 10 seconds or so. I have 16000 miles and it has ticked from day one. Interesting read here in the forum about someone mentioning a hard tick at...

    That rubber plug is where the sunroof drain tube would be IF you had a sunroof.

    2019 Laramie Led Headlights

    Same vehicle, no adjustment for those lights. They are on all the time and get washed out in bright light.

    2019 LED Headlight Trim Lights on all the Time

    Please don't post here unless you have a 5th Gen (2019) or have knowledge of the lighting issue I am describing. 2018 and previous year lighting is not relevant to this discussion.

    2019 LED Headlight Trim Lights on all the Time

    There are certain times you don't want any exterior illumination, hunting for one. The low beam headlights are the DRL and are activated through the Uconnect settings, giving the operator a choice. Apparently with these lights there is no choice.

    2019 LED Headlight Trim Lights on all the Time

    On my 2019 the white strip lights above and below the LED headlights are on all the time the truck is running. Doesn't matter if in park, ebrake on, those lights are on all the time. Anyone figured a way to turn them off? It doesn't make sense to have them on all the time, night and day...

    Anyone install running boards on there 5th gen

    I just installed running boards on my 2019 Laramie and the advice given above is spot on. When I saw the existing factory stud bolts I thought this is going to quick and easy. Wrong! The supplied nylon lock nuts would go on crooked and seize up due to the paint overspray on the threads. I was...

    Just put a deposit on a '19 Laramie, but have a concern...

    I just purchased a 2019 Laramie 4x4. Mine came with anti spin but it is not something I would have ordered with 4x4. It just happened to be on the truck that had the options I wanted. All you have to do when the going gets rough is push the auto 4x4 button.

    Dealership Says No Lubricating Front Driveshaft

    Is someone saying "Factory Certified Technicians that know your vehicle" don't know about this grease fitting that just about every owner knows about???

    How do you all choose a service center? Poor reviews all around me....

    I share your frustration in finding a competent dealer to provide good service. So much hype about factory trained technicians who know my vehicle. They don't know diddly. Everytime I have warranty work done my vehicles are returned to me in an incomplete state. Everytime. Just had the water...

    Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue

    I believe there are widespread problems with the manual HVAC system in later year Rams pertaining to the recirculate door not operating correctly. Every dealer that has looked at this problem has returned the vehicle to me after repair stating "tested the system all is well" or something to that...

    Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue

    So today the dealer replaced the heater AC controller. This is the second time it has been replaced. The system is better but still not right. When I turn on the ac it is in recirculate mode (again, controls for that mode and indicator lights are off) but if I turn on and off recirculate the...
