    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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

    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...

    TST TPMS Monitor Mount

    Just wanted to share something I recently learned. This is for those of you who pull a trailer and use an aftermarket TPMS system. I have been installing TST TPMS systems in my various rv's for several years and usually wind up jury rigging the monitor mount by cutting off a portion of the...

    GPS Map Update

    I took advantage of the $99 deal for a map update. Install went well (even though is was cumbersome) but very disappointed with the limited update. A recent Garmin update that I did contained much more timely new street info than the Ram update. Will probably skip future updates.

    2021 Limited Longhorn.

    I picked up my new truck exactly one year ago today. Now sitting at 16k miles with ~4k towing a camping trailer. Truck has been stellar with only time in shop, twice for oil changes.

    Trailer TPMS

    I have a 21 Limited with the trailer tow package. It came with 4 extra TPMS sensors to install on the trailer and should read out on the truck dash. Has anyone had these installed on their truck yet? My tire shop said they would install the sensors but they wouldn't be able to code or pair...

    TPMS Trailer Tire Sensors

    Greetings, My 21 Ram 1500 with Trailer Package came with sensors for the trailer tires. I just took my trailer to a tire place and the tech pointed out that the stems were very long and would extend past the sidewall of the tire. I went from there to a Ram dealer and he said there were no...

    WDH with air suspension

    Has anyone tried using the air suspension instead of the trailer tongue jack to raise their truck in order to facilitate connecting the leveler bars? I see videos of folks lowering the truck to get the ball under the coupler but not to rasise the truck for hooking up the bars.

    Air suspension

    My Ram 1500 ha air suspension. Seems to have a mind of it's own when I was trying to unhitch my new trailer. Kept jacking up the rear of the truck. Anyone know how to deactivate air suspension when hitching or unhitching? Thanks in advance. Bill

    Bed Extender/Divider PN 68027145AE

    The subject Extender/Divider seems to have a street price of around $700. Can anyone who has one tell me if they consider it worth that kind of money? I was trying to compare it to the Ram Bed Extender PN 82215724 which is available for under $300. Thoughts anyone? Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

    Multi Function Tailgate

    Greetings, my new 1500 Ecodiesel is in shipped status on the way to my dealer. Question: I ordered the multi-function tail gate, is it possible to open the individual sides with a camping trailer hitched up? Thanks in advance. Bill
