    Inop speakers. Diag help?

    Speakers at front right are inop. Dash and door. I've tried numerous online resets. Tried battery disco. Tried different speakers. Checked wiring from the speaker back into the pillar and at the radio. I have alfaobd but can't connect to the radio, seems I need a different adapter? If I were...

    Aftermarket 8hp trans thermostat kit

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/296114464408 I have no association with this product, but I'm a fan of it being put together for those who don't want to source the parts or suffer the guess work. Update 1/3/24 - Garret will be offering my bypass with his kit to eliminate the heater from the circuit...

    Triax trans fluid for 8hp

    For those who'd rather stick to a factory fluid in the ZF trans, we've seen that it's quite expensive (Mopar) or somewhat hard to find (ZF Lifeguard). The other option is Maxlife which is easy to find but a very broad spectrum fluid, not having that argument here. Anyway, Triax sells this fluid...

    Unknown and inconsistent vibration

    So I have this ongoing vibration that I'm unable to find on my own, HALP! Sometimes it starts around 55, sometimes higher, sometimes nothing all the way to 80. I've not been able to pin down a point at which it starts or any certain bump/turn that starts it either. The vibe is general, you feel...

    Front axle disconnect

    Chasing down a variable vibration at highway speeds I have pulled my front drive shaft to test. Upon doing so I found that I cannot turn the pinion of the front axle with the front wheels on the ground. That's not right, right? With the disconnect in the front axle it should allow the pinion to...

    Does the media hub/USB port ever go dead?

    Last weekend I got myself a Motorola wireless Android adapter, installed it and revelled at the wonder that is technology that works as you expect it. No problems all week, truck would sit a couple days while I commute on the bike. Fast-forward to this Saturday, I go out to leave on a little...

    5th gen power wagon rock rails

    Keep your eyes out on marketplace etc for these gems. I scored this set from a 2021 for $100! Really liking them over the OEM tube steps I had, they tuck up and in to the body much better and they're very beefy.

    4th gen non-tow chrome mirror caps

    Chrome mirror caps for 4th gen, comes with the surround which is specific to mirrors with signals/puddle lights. These are NOT perfect. They've been well used and one has a crack (pictured) that is invisible from 5 feet or more. Solid, fit well and are good to have if you want to paint your...

    2018 media hub blank plate?

    I've relocated the media hub in my 18 which leaves a large hole in the upper center console, is there a blank off plate in models not equipped or is it a whole different base plate?

    A common theme at work

    Is there a brand preference at your work? Not that anyone is an enthusiast, but we've got quite the collection of Rams. The owner of the 3rd gen in the foreground also has an 02 RCSB. Not pictured are two other 4th gens who park out front. IMG_20210513_110250670_HDR by caulk04 posted May 13...

    Reasonable plug/play door speakers for 2018?

    I'm not terribly disappointed with the audio in my truck (non-Alpine 8.4") but it's a little behind what my 08 Jeep had. I will NOT go whole hog with an amp, subs and so on but I'm game for a door speaker upgrade if there's something out there that's at least noticeable. I looked through...

    8hp70 heater bypass

    Starting this thread to consolidate some information that we've been discussing (https://www.ramforum.com/threads/revmax-8-speed-thermostat-bypass.171776/unread) on the topic of keeping the 8hp70 cooler than stock. Here you'll see the thermostat assembly broken down into its individual...

    Any recurring issues with HomeLink?

    For the second time now in just over a month of ownership I've had the Homelink buttons cease to function. Both times have been the same: Get in truck, hit button to open garage door, start truck, back out, hit button to close door and no response. Nothing on the cluster about transmitting...

    Extended dust caps for OEM quads

    Ok, what has the hive mind found to be a good extended dust cap for the factory quad lights. Low beams have tons of room, high beams are currently sealed up with tape... Not a permanent solution. The boss is 3.400" or roughly 86mm OD. I haven't seen anything that size online... If there's a...

    How common is the 149" wheelbase?

    Somewhat embarrassingly, I didn't know Ram sold crew cab 1500's with the 6'4" bed until I bought mine and brought it home only to find I wouldn't fit the garage without rearranging. Now that I've had it a couple weeks, I keep looking for other 'longboi' trucks like mine and haven't seen one...

    Fog light 'memory'

    Is there a way to turn off the fog light 'memory'? Meaning, if I have the fog lights on then shut the switch off the fogs come back on as soon as I turn the parking lights back on. I'd like them to stay off until I push the button again. Is this possible?

    Parking light out. Alfaobd doesn't fix it.

    2018 truck with normal quad halogen housings. I've got switch back LEDs in the front that work great (tried a different LED also) but I get the parking light out message only when using turn signals with the parking lights on. I have alfaobd set to yes on front parking, rear parking, front...

    New guy, 'new' truck.

    So, I'll be hanging out here now instead of Jeep forum. A deer committed vehicular suicide which also caused the demise of my 08 Grand which I've replaced with an 18 Big Horn. A couple questions to start off with as I browse: Is a catch can still a 'requirement' on the newer Hemi? I kept the...
