Am I crazy for considering this?
Haven’t seen anyone address the price of gas vs. diesel, but here in PA, diesel cost is usually the same or close to premium gasoline. The hemi can run regular gas, with mid grade recommended. Maintenance costs are usually quoted around $400.00 at a Ram dealer. When I had my 2018 CTD, I did them...- oe542bob

Electric Power Steering (EPS) Failure
Just throwing this out, did you check the wiring and connections for water intrusion or corrosion? Plus I’m seem to recall where someone had “opened” up the control section to work on the power steering. Don’t recall if it was this forum. Maybe dig around and do an internet search with this...- oe542bob

New (New to Me) 2022 1500
Haven’t checked for awhile, but Amp power steps used to, and may still, be available with extended reach for lifted trucks. Makes it much easier to get in and out.- oe542bob

All Repair Parts @ Employee Cost!
Hi Benny. I may be interested in the RamAir filter kit for my 2022 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn 5.7L eTorque. It is pricey but just worried more about the shipping costs. I’m in eastern PA.- oe542bob

How do I manually open my 2024 Ram tailgate?
Not the same issue as the OP, but my dislike too for these electronic solenoids. My minor issue is the solenoids on my ramboxes on my 2022. Many times I go to push the button to open the lid and I have to press the unlock button on my FOB. It’s not all the time, but I liked the regular push...- oe542bob

Dealerships Low Balling Trade in Value
Bought quite a few new trucks and cars over the years, recently bought a Challenger roughly 8 months ago. Dealerships in my experience first look at what your vehicle average wholesale value is at the time of trade. They get the information by checking dealer auction sites. Normally don’t care...- oe542bob

Rambox stuck
Thing that happened to me on my 4th gen Ramboxes was I noticed one day that the box didn’t lock on the driver’s side. At least I could open it. Linkage connector was broke. It happens, but I had 4-4th gens with the 6.5’ Ramboxes and only had it happen on that one truck. Now I have a 5th gen 5.7”...- oe542bob

RamBox® Cargo Management System - how common is it?
Mojo88, I bought a new RCSB sport in 2015. It had the 6.5’ bed and Ramboxes. Being a regular cab, I knew I would need storage space for tools and clothing. Not near enough space behind the seats to store a lot. I fell in love with the ease of access. In the years before, I would always install...- oe542bob

Lowering rear and getting a better ride.
OP has a 2500. “A child of god” you have a 1/2 with air suspension. I would recommend you start your own thread with your questions. Now to the OP, when I had my 2018 Ram 2500, I installed rear air bags from Kelderman. You remove the rear coils and the air bags go there. I didn’t install any air...- oe542bob

Wireless Charging Pad
OP, I have a iPhone 13 Pro Max with the latest iOS. I have a 2022 with the wireless charging pad and it will charge my phone with it a case on it. It’s a little finicky when you place it, but it does work. As stated above, it does seem to make my phone pretty warm when in the charging saddle.- oe542bob

Talk me out of a TRX!
OP, do you have a garage to keep it in? Do you live in an area that has a lot of stolen vehicles? TRX, Hellcat Challengers & Chargers, HC Durangos are on that list. I’ve never been paranoid about it till I got my HellCat. Where you be taking it and leaving it parked when in use? Not trying to be...- oe542bob

Damn near fell over laughing
Those gadgets remind me of stuff you’d see in a J.C.Whitney catalog many years ago. ( Yes, at one time, I just couldn’t “google” stuff on the internet! ) Oh yeah, don’t forget those deer whistles for the front end of your car/truck. -

Thoughts on fitcamx dash cam for 1500 ram?
I put one in my ‘22 Ram 1500 Longhorn. Super easy to install. No issues. Good picture. I don’t really mess with it much. I have had it almost 1 year now -
Uconnect 5 Nav 12" Dealer Mode
When I purchased a new ‘23 Challenger a couple of months ago I had no navigation and I wasn’t able to use any of the Uconnect services through the app. While I had my car at a local Dodge dealer to get it diagnosed, the tech put the radio into dealer mode. I was sitting in the passenger seat...- oe542bob
