    Ceramic Coating

    Everyone knows there are 100s of ceramic coatings to pick from, making lots of claims, some false unfortunately. It's confusing I relied on the exhaustive and fairly scientific testing of a youtube professional detailer (Scott HD) who conducted a careful 3 year test of nearly 100 coatings in...

    Voltage readings on 2024

    I see several forum mentions of voltage readings like 13.7 etc. My instrument panel just has an analog guage. Is there a back screen somewhere that has the actual voltage?

    *Mechanic refusing trans build info*

    I suspect you could have gotten a new mopar tranny for that price or less, with some haggeling and discounts.

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    How do you measure the life of the etorque 2nd battery at 40%? Plus, isn't it supposed to have an 8 year warranty, or is that just the alternator/starter?

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    By the hardest, I connected to a white wire with blue tracer which supplies the cargo lights. So far the 2 amp load of 10' string of leds is holding steady. Need to see if it comes on with tailgate open. If so this is a winner.

    Wiring aftermarket led bed lights to dash switch

    Anyone know the best place to connect? Don't want to go to the battery or trailer connector. Want them to come on with tailgate leds or cargo light.

    Easy. Update your uconnect version and it should go away. We're up to v 46 now. Check versions under settings or about

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    I noticed that the tailgate led light sometimes comes on with the cargo light but not always. Anyone know if it's the same circuit?

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    Ive read many posts on this topic, but most apply to factory mopar lights and using a factory harnesses. There's no bed light prewiring in my 24 Laramie. Hoping, but don't know if wiring is same for all 5th gens with same trim level, esp those with tailgate lights. Seems like the ideal circuit...

    Apparant Defective Products Stampede Window Deflector by Real Truck

    I guess that no company like Real Truck wants to admit a manufacturing or design defect. Personally I'd never buy that Stampede plastic junk.

    Awful gas mileage: 2024 RAM Rebel GT

    On fuel mileage there's lots of misinformation, incomplete estimates, and not real consistent tests... The quoted post could be right for a 21, but it's not correct for a 2024 hemi 1500 with standard equipment. The claim that the 1500 4wd truck is too heavy to get 22mpg is not correct...

    Awful gas mileage: 2024 RAM Rebel GT

    I have a 24 1500 with hemi, .321, and just 1200 miles. Using 10% ethanol, getting exactly 22mpg highway at 63mph. Your 392 should not cost you more than 2mpg tops. If you have non factory tires, that could explain it. Unless you are running over 65mph, something is wrong and you should have...

    I agree. Nobody should pay $100 for plastic chrome. If they don't stick, that's bad news. I thought Real Truck was better than that.

    Caution: 2024 Laramie with Intermittent Blind Spot Monitor

    I think it's fair to say that lots of drivers use safety features differently. That's ok. I tend to check the BS mirror and the Bsm, but that's just me. I know lots of drivers who rely just on Bsm. Stellantis, Gm, Ford and others better install safety systems that are extremely reliable...
