    Map Update

    I just finished installing and testing out my latest map update. This one had some significant road changes unlike the one I did 2 years ago which didn't seem to have many changes at all. Seems well worth the 150 bucks. My only complaint is that it is such a cumbersome procedure and took...

    Can’t fill my Ram Truck with Gas

    I had the same problem on a Ford Escape a few years ago. Took it in and dealer said they fixed it but didn't. I took it back and asked for a specific mechanic that I knew outside of his work. He assessed the issue and discovered that the fill tube which was welded to the tank was crimped...

    Z96 HPFP Recall

    I received the original Z96 Recall notice in the mail but nothing since. I accidentally found out that parts were sort of available. By the time I got in touch with my dealer to make an appointment I was 25th in line and understand that Chrysler is only sending one set of parts per week to...

    Air Suspension - who knew?

    My 2021 Limited the aero mode kicks in at 65mph and will usually stay there until almost at a stop. I especially like how the air suspension fine tunes my trailer towing attitude and keeps everything level in normal mode.

    Cargo Sliding

    I installed a bed rug in my Limited Longhorn because what we usually haul are suitcases. The bed rug has velcro attachments. I load them with the handles facing rearward then loop a buckle strap thru the handles and thru the steel loops at each side of the bed. They stay where you left them.

    How do I change suspension for softer ride?

    I have a 21 1500 Limited Longhorn with the air. It is a very plush ride with the added bonus that it automatically fine tunes the ride height when I'm towing our camping trailer. It also has a disable (tire jack) mode to employ while hitching/unhitching so it doesn't fight your efforts...

    PHone and Accessory Mounting.

    Check Proclipusa.com. They have some very clean vehicle mounts and device holders that leave no trace when they are removed.

    2024 Ram Limited standard equipment?

    I have a 21 Limited Longhorn so It's probably not relative to your 24. It did however come with so much standard stuff that to this day I don't know everything it has, especially when looking at the 2 pages of apps. I will say I was fortunate in that it came with everything I ordered with no...

    GPS Map Update

    I use a Garmin RV760 on trips. (have a ProClip mount on my Ram dash). I will preplan my routes day by day on Mapsource and upload them into my Garmin. I then have a full suite of information each travel day of our trips including 2 additional trip logs. I use the Ram GPS locally.

    Def Consumption

    Never bothered checking the DEF consumption on my Ecodiesel however I recently topped it off before a 1500 mile trip at mostly highway speeds so I filled again as soon as I got home. (luckily we have a Shell station nearby that has a standard size DEF nozzle). Consumption turned out to be 788...

    difficulty filling fuel tank

    I had a 2008 Escape Hybrid that filled very slowly. I took it into the dealer who had a tech work on it with no improvement. I took it back and requested a mechanic who I personally knew and they said he normally didn't work on hybrids but he would assign my friend and a hybrid mechanic to...

    2500 warranty & extended warranty? Worth it?

    It normally shouldn't matter but there is a possibility of a price increase or a downgrade in services provided. On the other hand if you delay you can keep your money working for you although it's not a lot of money if you buy from one of the discounters.

    Eco diesel

    I've had my 2021 going on 2 years and zero issues. The only time in the shop is for routine oil changes and a wheel alignment. I've towed a 7,000# trailer about 6,000 miles am very pleased with how it handles the load. I live in Oregon so have to deal with hills just about everywhere we go...

    Multi Function Tailgate

    I've had my 2021 Limited Longhorn since Feb of 21. No regrets about ordering the MF Tailgate and no issues with it. The positives for me are 1. The ability to stand closer to the bed to reach stuff, 2. Can load heavy stuff directly onto the truck bed instead of on the tailgate, 3. When I...

    Eco Diesel Fuel Economy

    I did a trip in August from Oregon to Tenn. and back. Logged 6700 miles (not towing and averaged a tic over 28 mpg. Very pleased.

    Eco Diesel Fuel Economy

    I have no way to compare. My Eco-diesel is the only Ram or Dodge truck I've owned in over 50 years. I just know that I am very pleased with my overall fuel economy both towing and not. I did opt for the Chrysler extended warranty mainly because my truck is loaded with technology plus the air...

    Eco Diesel Fuel Economy

    Seems like now that my truck has some miles on it (~28,000) my towing fuel economy is getting better and more consistent. On a weekend trip from Medford, OR to Sisters, OR (about 190 miles each way) I got 14.3 going and 14.8 coming home. Both mileages calculated as the dash MPG is a bit...

    Headlights in auto position.

    Thanks all, I'll double check the light dials. Bill

    Headlights in auto position.

    Were in the middle of a 7,000 mile trip and my auto headlights starting getting weird on me. Sometimes, usually early early in the morning with the headlight switch set to auto the truck will all of a sudden go dark: headlights off, dash dark, center stack dark. If I turn the headlight switch...

    Memory seats and mirrors

    Problem solved. Just needed a bit more light to find the buttons which in my truck are on the driver door just forward of the door handle. Thanks for the feedback.

    Memory seats and mirrors

    Thanks but not on my 21 Limited Longhorn. I'm thinking they omitted them for some reason. The position on the side of the seat where they are located on some models, mine has a lumbar adjustment.

    Memory seats and mirrors

    I have a 21 Limited Longhorn with all the electronic options but I don't think I have memory seats. At least I can't find any controls for them. I checked on the side of the seats as well as the apps on the center stack and don't see any thing. I'm very surprised that a truck of this caliber...
