    Hemi tick??

    My 2015 had the hemi tick in the morning on start up, passenger side. After it got warm, the ticking went away. It was under warranty so I took it in and it turned out to be a broken exhaust manifold bolt which was quickly fixed. Service manager said it's not uncommon. So... if it ticks only...

    $1000 coupon for a new Ram!

    I recently did a lot of research before ordering a new 1500 and read on this forum that if you request a print brochure they will send you a coupon for purchase of a new vehicle. That is just too good to be true right? What the heck, I clicked on the link at the bottom of the Build and Price...

    Air compressor for rear air bags ..can I?

    If you want an air compressor for filling your tires (not running air tools) go to Walmart and get one you can plug into your cig lighter. I have one for my Corvette that works great and it was inexpensive and small. You set the pressure you want and it shuts off automatically. It's accurate...

    Factory ordered 1500

    Delivery time depends on what you ordered. If you ordered the safety technology stuff like lane departure or blind spot detection, those are not being built. Air supension and panoramic sunroof are also not available. If you ordered a Classic, none of those are being built - the line is shut...

    Never again

    I ordered a vehicle for the first time and had a great experience. I found my last vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, by doing the build and price and then found one about 25 miles away. That was easy, but for the new Rebel I just ordered, I couldn't find one with all the stuff I wanted and could...

    4th or 5th gen Rebel. Help me decide

    Definitely get the Crew Cab with your children (in the blink of an eye, they will grow big) and I would recommend the leather seats available in the Rebel. It's easier to wipe up spilled food and drinks off of leather compared to cloth. There is no comparison when it comes to the design of the...

    Waterfowler41: Thanks for the info. I was just following up after you installed the Bilsteins now that you've been rolling for 4 months... Any issues with your mod?

    RAM Rebel Bed Cover

    I've been looking around for a tonneau for an incoming 21 Rebel. Bakflip seems to be well-regarded by forum members so I'll go with one of them.

    first truck advice

    I just went through this same vexing question. I went on the Build and Price tool and started with the Bighorn 4x4 crew cab V8. Use it, it's fun! After checking all the boxes that I wanted, it worked the price up to a Rebel or Laramie with the same or better options. I went to a dealer who...

    Hemi engine noise question

    You probably already have this sorted, but for others who have this - I had a 2015 Jeep GC with the 5.7L engine, same as the 1500. If the tick is coming from the passenger side of the engine, it's a broken exhaust manifold bolt. As the engine warms up, the metals expand and stop the ticking...

    Potential truck owner - pre-owned?

    I began looking at used Rams as well but decided to order one mainly due to my intended use: towing a travel trailer. Many of the used 1500s are coming off a lease and have 3.21 rear, which is good for riding around on the highway unladen, but not cool if you are towing. The other reason I...

    2019 1500 classic

    Wheel out of balance, probably a front one threw a weight. Almost all speed-related shakes are caused by this. Cheap fix.

    Top Tier Detergent Gasoline

    Use Top Tier. I have a Corvette that requires 93 so I used to seek out the cheapest place. My mechanic pulled the heads to do a valve job and he immediately chided me for using cheap gas. There is a gunk that builds up in the heads that rob performance over time. My Corvette had 18,000 miles...

    87 or 89 octane

    The octane rating of gasoline concerns how much pressure (compression) the gasoline will take before detonation. It really does not mean that 89 contains more power than 87. High performance engines use higher compression so therefore they require the higher octane so they don't pre-detonate...

    Just ordered my first Ram

    It appears that Ram has held up the 1500 Classic 4th Gen trucks (Warren MI) at this time. My dealer said that the 5th Gen plant in Sterling Heights is still going and my order is progressing under status "D" which means they have the parts allocated to it. When I ordered the truck on 3/15 he...

    First time truck owner

    There are three people every family NEEDS: a lawyer, a mechanic, and someone with a pickup. The last time I drove a pickup was a few decades ago. Vinyl bench seats and floor, AM radio, bumpy noisy ride, rusty bed... I took one for a test drive a month ago with my wife (who drives a plush...

    Just ordered my first Ram

    Hello, new member here. I just ordered a Rebel and the dealer told me 6 weeks. After reading a few threads on this forum, that might be optimistic but that's ok. I did have some reservations about having it built at a plant with 12-hour work days but I hope the workers there are happy to have...
