    cold air coming in while driving, No driver floor heat

    I had a similar problem with my 2015 Big Horn with cold air entering the cabin. I tracked it down to an some sort of an opening underneath the floor console. However, by feeling around with my hand it seemed like air was entering via the driver door bottom seal (and when I had a passenger they...

    Another Key Fob Issue - 2017 Ram 1500

    What happened to the key fob you bought from the dealer? Anyway, I had this problem with the primary key fob on my 2018 Big Horn. I took it apart and cleaned it and very carefully reassembled it. The contact/switch area was a small copper circle with another, larger circular copper contact...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    UPDATE: I am the OP so I figured I'd update the thread. I got the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. I was going to buy them from my dealer as the annual "buy 3, get 4th tire for $1" promotion was running. (This is essentially a 25% off sale.) About a week ago I set up my installation appointment for...

    OK to use 4Auto setting in rain?

    I use 4WD auto in rainy conditions because my tires are getting worn. I think it helps to use 4WD auto in these conditions.

    Chrysler Capital Ram Lease Impossible to Trade at Lease-End w/Equity

    Incorrect. It's not your equity. It's your POTENTIAL equity. You don't own the vehicle, the lease company owns it. The dealer may tell you there is "equity" in the vehicle but it's not your equity until you own the vehicle. But dealers have a way around this. Here's how it works... The dealer...

    Lease Buyout Ripoff

    I've done 14 leases between my wife and me (business reasons) in the past 29 years. I've had OK leases and really good leases. Of the 14 leases, only 3 were buyouts. However, most leases were for business reasons and a buyout was never on the table; for tax reasons and cash flow reasons I would...

    Rust Proofing - do these things still rot out?

    Minneapolis MN, land of salted winter roads. 2018 Big Horn 1500. I don't have any body rust that I can see and the undercarriage of my truck is barely showing surface rust. I wash it a couple times a month in the winter months at a self-serve car wash where I can get the spray wand into the...

    Leaves in Glove Box

    Turns out that video is for 3rd gen Rams. Mine's a 4th gen. The 4th gen system looks like this. In the photo above the recirculating door is not engaged, meaning it is set to allow fresh air to enter. I took some pictures of my recirculating door. Notice the bits of crushed up leaves jammed...

    Interesting video. Thanks for posting.

    Leaves in Glove Box

    This seems to be a popular theory. But consider the pathway an animal would have to take to get into the glovebox? Why go to all that trouble when there are multiple other places that are more easily accessible?

    Leaves in Glove Box

    No one placed the leaves in the glovebox. I was thinking maybe it's possible the leaves got into the glovebox when they were still somewhat green and pliable (not dried out and fragile.) Then they dry out with use of the Heating/AC system.

    Leaves in Glove Box

    Once again... Don't think it's mice or chipmunks. However, it is interesting that there are oak tree leaves in the mix and the nearest oak tree is across the street in the neighbors back yard, so I'm not ruling it out. I pulled the glove box out and there were some leaves scattered in the...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    It's looking more and more like the Continental TerrainContact H/T. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=300 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/videoDisplay.jsp?ttid=300 The Continental TerrainContact is speed rated H and weighs 44 lbs. $254 each. The Michelin Defender...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    The Continental TerrainContact or the Michelin Defenders. I didn't see the Cooper Discoverers you suggested, probably because as you indicated, they are exclusive to Walmart. I would consider the Falken Wildspeak AT3 if I could find some objective data on their noise and comfort level.

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    Guess I better decide soon. I just got this email from Ram. They have a wide selection, including most (all?) of the tires discussed in this thread. .

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    This is why I have apprehensions about getting tires at Walmart. You wonder about the quality of their equipment. You wonder about the knowledge of the installer. You wonder if corners will be cut. Are they going to try to upsell you? (Tire pressure monitor sensors, anyone?) Are they really...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    Any opinions on Continental TerrainContact H/T? Tirerack.com has them rated higher than Michelin Defenders and they are $45 less per tire than the Michelins.

    Yes, I meant the differences between the regular AT's and the AT3's. You explained it well. Thank you.

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    What's the difference between the Cooper AT (from Walmart) and the Cooper AT3 (available at a lot of places)? Why does Walmart have this exclusivity? Also, I look at these aggressive tread patterns and tread depth and I can't help thinking they would be noisy on the freeway going 70-75 mph...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    Appreciate everyone's input. I've got some research to do. I likely will not be buying for a week or two or else waiting for sales. Thanks. That's good info on looking at the weight of the tire and it's relationship to the tire's stiffness. To CanuckRam1313's point on mpg--is there any...

    I did see the Continental TerrainContact HT's on tirerack.com, and yes, they tested well. Good recommendation. Thanks.

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    You make a compelling argument. That data regarding mpg is interesting. I'm not ruling the Michelin's out, they're just a bit rich for my purposes.

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    Yep, all three of those threads are about All-Terrain tires. I'm not looking for all-terrain tires. I want all season tires.

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    I’ve just spent over an hour trawling through the numerous tire threads here. I didn’t find a recent thread that addresses my needs so, yes, I’m starting yet another tire thread. I drive 98% on paved roads, occasionally will go on dirt and/or gravel roads in rural settings to get to boat...

    HORN DELAY

    Pretty sure I can 'chirp' the horn in my 2018 1500 Big Horn.
