    Front Camera or Parking Assist?

    Have any of you installed a camera in the front bumper or a parking assist? I have a 2017 Ram with Uconnect, and not sure if there is a front camera option that can connect to the Uconnect. I can always get an external monitor. My truck has rear camera, but would like something for the front...

    Fender Clips

    What size fender clips have you used? I see several options, but not sure which ones would be proper size. And I don't need to order 50, more like 10 max lol. See picture for needed clip location and size (front passenger side).

    Blind Spot Mirror Placement

    This is a question for those of you that have added aftermarket blind spot mirrors. From the ones I have found so far, wadestar seems like what I will get. Spottedmirror is nice, but not what I need. Where do you prefer to place your blind spot mirror - upper or lower corner? I'm not...

    Factory Threaded Insert Rusted and Bolt Broke

    I tried the PB Blaster and vise grips the other day, but to no avail. Local truck shops will charge about about $400 to install the running boards with this bolt issue I created. Will try again this weekend and if that doesn't work, I will just drill out that bolt and use the supplied hardware...

    What Is This Part and Why Do I See Oil?

    Not sure about what the filter is specifically for. I will pick up the truck today ir tomorrow once it's done, and will ask for an itemized list of what was replaced. Yes the truck has the 8 speed tranny. Yep...not a fan of dealerships, especially some of the salespeople. It's an industry that...

    What Is This Part and Why Do I See Oil?

    Took truck to dealer today. Transmission pan cover has a leak. They are replacing it along with new gasket, fluid flush, filter, the whole kit and kaboodle. Covered under powertrain warranty...except a $50 filter. I'm good with that.

    Factory Threaded Insert Rusted and Bolt Broke

    I agree a bolt is not the best to use when cleaning out rusty threads. I was trying to make due with what I had access to at the time. And I was getting a little impatient. Today I bought the PB Blaster and 8mm thread tap. Will attempt some time this week and will post results.

    Factory Threaded Insert Rusted and Bolt Broke

    I have a 2017 Ram. Was trying to add running boards, but the factory threaded inserts are rusty. After about 45 minutes I was able to clean out one of the inserts and screw a bolt in. When I was cleaning another threaded insert, a bolt head broke off and the rest of the bolt is stuck in the...

    Not sure what the issue is yet, but if anything transmission related, do you think it woild be covered under powertrain warranty?

    What Is This Part and Why Do I See Oil?

    This is towards the front of a 2017 ram 1500. Please forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what this part is. And why would there be oil on it, mostly in one corner?

    USB-C to USB-A Cable for Media

    The cord I bought isn't an adapter, it's a cord. One end of the cord is USB-C and the other end is USB-A. The phone is a Galaxy S20 and can't use a regular USB cord. When the phone is connected, I have a drop down list of options to select on the phone. I can't remember them all, but will take...

    USB-C to USB-A Cable for Media

    My phone takes a USB-C style cable. So, I had to get a USB-C to USB-A cable in order to be able to charge the phone while in the truck. When the cable is plugged into the media port, I have not been able to connect to the USB media option to play music, etc... Bluetooth works fine, but have...

    Uconnect 8.4 - 2017 and Older - Connect to Android Auto

    I have learned that Uconnect 8.4 in 2017 and later years will not connect to the Android Auto app using USB cable. I have tried several times and have been unsuccessful. I want to mirror the Android GPS on my phone to the truck Uconnect screen. Anyone found a way to mirror phone screen to...

    Performance Hood Scoop/Bezel Replacememt

    Hello. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 with the performance hood (two hood scoops - one on the left and the right side). I do not have the functional ram air at this time. I want to replace the hood scoops/bezel with something that looks better than the OEM plain black ones. Anyone know where I can...

    Reliability and High Mileage Question

    I'll agree with PoMansRam about the rust belt states rusting out some vehicles before the miles do. I live in a cold weather state and looking at Rams that are in cold weather states. I take good care of any vehicle I have owned and have always tried to wash off the winter road treatment salt...

    Reliability and High Mileage Question

    I am considering purchasing my first Ram 1500 truck, but curious what your thoughts are on long-term reliability. Been a fan of the ram truck style since 94, but never owned one. Currently drive Acura MDX with 150k miles and absolutely love this car, but have a 20' pontoon boat I tow several...
