    Octane / Towing

    I have a 2021 1500 Limited with the 5.7 Hemi. With the skyrocketing cost of gas, I've been using 87 octane gas (regular). I sometimes get occasional very light knocking only when the engine is in ECO mode (MDS) but other than that it runs great. However, when I recently tried to pull my travel...

    Winch Power Connections on 5th Gens

    Many newer RAMs use an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) to monitor battery conditions. In normal operation, all electrical loads in the vehicle pass through the IBS which is located at the negative post on the 12 Volt battery. You're not supposed to connect any electrical load directly to the...

    Comprehensive 5th-Gen 1500 Fuse / Relay / Circuit Breaker Documentation

    I posted a diagram for the Internal Fuse Panel recently. This was good information to share with other 5th-Gen 1500 owners because the owner's manual doesn't contain such a diagram and the labels on the panel are very hard to read. However, there was a lot more information that could be even...

    Here's a Labeled Fuse Diagram for the 1500

    Edit: I have since updated this information. For far more comprehensive information on the RAM 1500 fuse panels please see this thread and this website. I was installing a Dash Cam and a Radar Detector in my new 1500 yesterday and I needed to find a fuse with constant power and one with power...

    AMP Research BedXTender HD Max with MFT?

    I'm thinking of ordering the AMP Research BedXTender HD Max 74840-01A Black bed extender. Apart from finding one in stock, I don't know if it'll work with the multifunction tailgate because the MFT appears to have an extra-long latch catch that sticks out about a 1/2 inch from where the AMP...

    Intense Rumble at 65 MPH

    I'm not having any luck with a new 2021 1500 Limited I just purchased. I only have around 250 miles on it and so far, there are two paint defects, the suspension creaks loudly, both lower rear speakers are bad, and it shudders when coming to a stop. The latest problem I only just discovered when...

    2021 1500 Creaking Issue

    I just took delivery of a 2021 1500 Limited. I immediately noticed a loud creaking sound at low speeds (10-25mph) whenever I accelerate, deaccelerate, or brake. The sound is definitely coming from the rear. It sounds more like a 20-year-old vehicle rather than a brand new one. I suspect it's...

    Repaint a New Ram?

    I just took delivery of a 2021 RAM 1500 Limited, Night Edition in black. I always do a detailed inspection before I accept the vehicle, but this time the salesman walked up to me and apologized for a paint defect the dealership found. There is a tiny area on the hood where the paint is slightly...

    Bed/Tailgate Mat for 2021 RAM 1500 with MFT

    Does anyone know of a Bed Mat (not a bed liner) that comes with a tailgate mat that works with the Multifunction Tailgate? Or just a tailgate mat alone?

    4x4 without Limited Slip or Locking Axle

    I had planned to order a Laramie and I was going to include the electronic locking rear axle option. However, the current employee pricing sale does not apply to orders and I was able to get an incredible deal on a loaded Limited that I couldn't refuse. It was a far better deal than I could ever...

    Off-Road Group Questions

    I'm building a configuration for a 2021 1500 Laramie and wondering if I should get the Off-Road Group. For only $840 it adds quite a few useful features: I'm not planning on doing much if any serious off-roading but I do travel a lot on rough dirt and gravel roads and appreciate the extra...

    Running Board Decision

    I'm working on a build for a 2021 1500 Laramie order and have selected most of the options I want. I would like to order the powered running boards, but I've heard that they can be problematic and unreliable in colder climates, especially with snow. Even the dealer advised against them. I'd...

    2021 RAM 1500 Actual Height

    I'm looking to soon order a 2021 RAM 1500 Laramie with several option packages including the Sport and Off-Road Packages, but not the air suspension option. I need to know the exact height of the truck down to the last inch. My garage door was framed to a height of only 76" due to the design...

    Towing Mirrors

    New here and need some advice. I'm configuring a build for a 2021 Laramie but I'm hung up with which mirrors to order, the standard or the towing mirrors. In 2020, the towing mirrors didn't include some of the advanced features of the Laramie's standard mirrors, such as power folding, but for...
