    Leaking sunroof

    I just got my truck back from having a leak like this fixed. It took six weeks and two trips to the dealer before it was done. When I got it back at the end the leak was fixed, but they tore up some stuff on my truck, left it muddy on the inside, the new glass had grease smudges all over it...

    How long has your Ram been in the shop?

    The leak is in the rear of the cab. Nothing in todays economy is solved in minutes. There's a three week wait at both Ram dealers in town. They kept it a week the first time to change the third brake light. They didn't test it, just gave it back and said it was fixed. It was still leaking...

    How long has your Ram been in the shop?

    For those who have had to send their Ram back to the dealer for warranty work, how long have you had to live without your truck? I'm currently on my second visit, and approaching two weeks with no truck. The really fun part is that it's in for a leak, and it's just sitting in their parking...

    9 arrested as police say they tried to steal Ram pickups from the factory

    "Stealing a new vehicle from a storage lot is reportedly easier than it might sound, the story said: Keys are normally left inside of the vehicles on lots while they're waiting to be dispatched to dealers." So that's surprising to me.

    What is the real life MPG for the 5.7 Rebel 4x4?

    I've got 16,000 on my 21 Rebel, 3.92s, 5.7 hemi. Running 87 octane, if I baby it, avoid stop lights as best I can, and go really easy on the gas, I can get 16 to 16.5 MPG in town. On the Interstate it's about the same (@70 Mile per hour on very flat roads). I get the same mileage now as I did...

    2020 Ram Big Horn. My hood is filling up with rain water or when washing the truck.

    I have the same issue on my 2021 Rebel. After it rains my truck sounds like a sloshing fish tank. I have to get out and open the hood to let it all drain so I don't hear all the sloshing as I drive to work. I found this TSB on the issue, and will talk to the dealer soon...

    New 2022 Long Horn Owner

    25,000 is 1% of the 2,500,000 produced over the past 5 years. We're talking about the same thing, just using annual vs five year figures. Also, they told me there would be no math in this job. :)

    New 2022 Long Horn Owner

    Vehicle shopping over the past two years has for many people, ended in a custom order because they couldn't find what they wanted on a lot. There's no telling how many people ordered a vehicle without ever having driven it. I imagine some of those folks didn't like the vehicle when it was...

    How do y'all find good places to let the Rebel offroad?

    Go to a 4x4 shop in your area and ask where everyone goes. Many people, like myself, know of places to go because we've been going there since we were kids. If you can find some of those people, they may be able to help you out. If I Google "Mudding in Chalotte NC" this is one of the first...

    All engine warning lights come on dash, truck only limited on speed

    Option 1 - put the wife in 7 inch heels Option 2 - lower the truck Option 3 - get a taller wife Just throwing ideas out there. These would solve that particular problem, but may create problems elsewhere in your life.

    New to RAM What do I need to know?

    That's not unique to Ram. My F150 did the same thing. Toward the end of my time with it, every time it rained my drivers side tail light looked like a fish bowl. The third brake light seal would leak too. Every two years or so the sunroof drain lines would get clogged with dirt, flood the...

    Holes in the bed?

    I recently had a liner installed in my truck bed. When I got it back I noticed two small holes, small enough one might describe them as pinholes though they are in fact slighly larger than pins. The pic below is for illustrative purposes only, it's not my truck, but the arrow points to the...

    new guy eTorque input

    I don't know what you have in mind as far as expectations on MPG, but whatever that number is, go pull up one of the many threads that exist on MPG for these trucks, and compare your expectation to what people are actually getting.

    Incessant wind advisory notices...how to get rid of them?

    Ha! I just went through this. It's Spring, and all my truck wants to do is tell me the wind is blowing. I don't subscribe to Sirius, and this is how I turned mine off: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dtoTo6CxJNABp2Dd7 1 - Display 2 - Notifications (bottom line on the screen) 3 - The drop down...

    2021 ram 1500 etorque problems

    Any vehicle can have issues. Every one I've ever owned has broken multiple times over the ownership period (7 to 10 years generally) Mechanical things sometimes break. For me to be concerned about the e-torque, I'd have to see a material percentage of units sold having a problem. If you...

    New and some questions

    :D:D:D Only on the internet could a flashlight seem like "more of a hassle" than wiring new lights into a truck. Honestly, this might be the best post I've seen in a long time. Not only is the headlamp infinitely less work, it's also infinitely more versatile since it can be used literally...

    Gas mileage and Thumping noise

    Mine has 7,800 miles on it now, and I can get 18 in the city, but it drops off big time on the highway. At 75 MPH it drops to 15 MPG. Don't expect the fuel economy to get much better. Using non-ethanol I get 18 City/15 Highway. It's about 1.5 MPG worse in the city using ethanol. I have no...

    Wireless charger not working

    I thought mine was broken, and was about to take it to the dealer when I made one last ditch effort to figure it out. I have a Pixel 3 with a significant case, and once I figured out how to position the phone, it charges every time, with the case attached. I put the phone in the slot...
