    Manual load/update software for Uconnect 8.4 (2018 RAM 1500 Laramie)?

    Is there a way to manually download the software for my Uconnect 8.4 in my 2018 RAM 1500 Laramie? The radio seems to have lost all its settings (though it still has the SirriusXM subscription info in the settings page, despite SirriusXM not even showing up on the home screen). Also. HVAC...

    2018 Ecodiesel and losing audio/climate

    Crazy… Thanks to previous owner or dealer, the wiring harness plug for DEF system failed, shorting the DEF pump. In the process of diagnosing, I disconnected battery (several times). Service DEF, see dealer was showing with countdown. Drive to dealership. That morning, climate controls in...

    Tire Saga Solved

    Well- tire saga is solved. After shop test fit 35x12.5-20 and even with the level, the tire wall was against the UCA…. And then him (regional manager) going through every system he could- and making phone calls… because supply chain is so janky… The Falken Wildpeak AT3W (LT295-60-20) that...

    How to DELETE the Active Grille Shutter System

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but the AGS is more about EPA and general emissions than it is about fuel economy. The faster you get the engine temp up, the quicker you can lean back the fuel and supposedly reduce emissions. What I have never understood - is how many emissions systems and...

    Synthetic Oil

    BITOG is for those who live in a tidy, data-driven, measured results world to the exclusion of real-world reality. Smart people look at both data AND real-world application before determining their position. But if I must choose between data-only and real-world observation, I'll take real-world...

    So much for my shiny new Ram...

    State Farm use to be "customer first"... a few decades back. But they walked away from that long ago. We dropped them before they could drop us years ago when a guy backed in to my wife driving our Chevy Tahoe (had trailer ball in the receiver so it did nothing to our vehicle). They guy had the...

    Chrysler screwed me

    Sigh... the cost of dealership oil change at my local dealer is between $10-15 more than an oil change by a small business independent guy near me. Or I can buy oil and filter, and do it myself... and the cost difference is not much more. But nice of you to not read an entire post in its...

    Chrysler screwed me

    That’s a LOT of oil changes at $10-15 each in “saving so to buy a new engine when it craps out and isn’t covered because the wrong oil was used in your attempts to save a few bucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Chrysler screwed me

    Sorry, but if an oil is so crappy that it’s shears down that much within the recommended OCI... I’m pretty sure that oil didn’t meet specs. OR It wasn’t changed when it needed to be. Either way- owner’s issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    So....I Might Have Done A Thing Today....

    That’s a part of the explanation why it’s a leftover new ‘19. The majority of 3500 Dually buyers want the HD Cummins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Extra fuel revisted

    I have a BAKFlip folding cover on my bed. I’m not particularly comfortable with filled gas cans in the bed for more than a short time. Especially if the cans are not the “sealed” type. I also think if heat and jostling which create more fumes that have to go somewhere. If the bed cap had...

    Back to a 1500?

    That 40% (or whatever) is a margin for error, and for the unexpected. Any machine regularly run to its limit will suffer for it.

    Back to a 1500?

    Did the trailer have brakes (and truck have a brake controller)?

    The real consequence of driving without insurance

    A lot depends on what state you are in. But there should be avenues of recourse. But the driver should have been arrested in the spot for driving w/no or suspended license, fraudulent use of vehicle tags, on top of the no insurance. And in most states, the OWNER of the vehicle can be held...

    Stellantis OKs unusual Ram to be built

    Same could be said for the average Hellcat Charger... most are simply over-powered transportation with the maybe rare punch for fun and effect. Doesn’t reduce the cool or the fun factor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Dealer Treatment

    Where abouts? I also am in NW Arkansas. I’ve bought my last two Rams at what is now known as MClarty-Daniels (Springdale). First one - literally the week before the change from Everett to MD. I have had warranty work done at the Superior CDJR in Siloam Springs with no issues. Sent from...

    Dealer Treatment

    It all really depends. Some dealerships can be really great, even if you didn’t buy it from them, and some can be crappy even if you did! And no, it’s not a RAM thing. Had a Chevrolet Impala bought new several years ago. Had a horrendous metallic whine all the time from under the hood. Took to...

    Hemi tick follow up

    ZERO truth to what he told you. RP is a good oil and itself should not cause a lifter issue. Many here swear by Redline full-synthetic. I’m currently running Rotella “Gas Truck”, which is a full-synthetic with zero issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
