    Ceramic Coating

    Everyone knows there are 100s of ceramic coatings to pick from, making lots of claims, some false unfortunately. It's confusing I relied on the exhaustive and fairly scientific testing of a youtube professional detailer (Scott HD) who conducted a careful 3 year test of nearly 100 coatings in...

    Voltage readings on 2024

    I see several forum mentions of voltage readings like 13.7 etc. My instrument panel just has an analog guage. Is there a back screen somewhere that has the actual voltage?

    *Mechanic refusing trans build info*

    I suspect you could have gotten a new mopar tranny for that price or less, with some haggeling and discounts.

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    How do you measure the life of the etorque 2nd battery at 40%? Plus, isn't it supposed to have an 8 year warranty, or is that just the alternator/starter?

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    By the hardest, I connected to a white wire with blue tracer which supplies the cargo lights. So far the 2 amp load of 10' string of leds is holding steady. Need to see if it comes on with tailgate open. If so this is a winner.

    Wiring aftermarket led bed lights to dash switch

    Anyone know the best place to connect? Don't want to go to the battery or trailer connector. Want them to come on with tailgate leds or cargo light.

    Backup Camera Blue Screen

    Easy. Update your uconnect version and it should go away. We're up to v 46 now. Check versions under settings or about

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    I noticed that the tailgate led light sometimes comes on with the cargo light but not always. Anyone know if it's the same circuit?

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    Ive read many posts on this topic, but most apply to factory mopar lights and using a factory harnesses. There's no bed light prewiring in my 24 Laramie. Hoping, but don't know if wiring is same for all 5th gens with same trim level, esp those with tailgate lights. Seems like the ideal circuit...

    Apparant Defective Products Stampede Window Deflector by Real Truck

    I guess that no company like Real Truck wants to admit a manufacturing or design defect. Personally I'd never buy that Stampede plastic junk.

    Awful gas mileage: 2024 RAM Rebel GT

    On fuel mileage there's lots of misinformation, incomplete estimates, and not real consistent tests... The quoted post could be right for a 21, but it's not correct for a 2024 hemi 1500 with standard equipment. The claim that the 1500 4wd truck is too heavy to get 22mpg is not correct...

    Awful gas mileage: 2024 RAM Rebel GT

    I have a 24 1500 with hemi, .321, and just 1200 miles. Using 10% ethanol, getting exactly 22mpg highway at 63mph. Your 392 should not cost you more than 2mpg tops. If you have non factory tires, that could explain it. Unless you are running over 65mph, something is wrong and you should have...

    Apparant Defective Products Stampede Window Deflector by Real Truck

    I agree. Nobody should pay $100 for plastic chrome. If they don't stick, that's bad news. I thought Real Truck was better than that.

    Caution: 2024 Laramie with Intermittent Blind Spot Monitor

    I think it's fair to say that lots of drivers use safety features differently. That's ok. I tend to check the BS mirror and the Bsm, but that's just me. I know lots of drivers who rely just on Bsm. Stellantis, Gm, Ford and others better install safety systems that are extremely reliable...

    Caution: 2024 Laramie with Intermittent Blind Spot Monitor

    A pretty good source states tha BSMs are not technically controlled by uconnect. If true the uconnect update might have been a coincidence. Either way my brand new 2024 has intermittent BSMs. Very concerning.

    2022 Ram 2500 6.4 squeal noise at start up!

    Take a hard, up close look at the etorque belt, assuming it is an etorque motor. I carry a spare always, and a water pump belt too.

    3:21 rear vs 3:92 gas mileage?

    Say what you will but my 2024 Laramie 5.7 with 321 at 63mph is loafing along at 1400 rpm. Less engine wear, less heat. I know the tow guys like the higher gear and i see why.

    Caution: 2024 Laramie with Intermittent Blind Spot Monitor

    An intermittent BSM is the worst of all worlds. A safety feature many rely on, but twice in the last few days, my BSM has failed to light up with another vehicle right at my quarter panel. Other times it works properly. No electrical, electronic, or mirror mods to vehicle. Vehicle is clean...

    2023 limited bumper step

    Go to Mopar's source. Part number 82215289AG or AH. Fits 19-24 1500s only. 2500s have different part number. You will pay $353 at the stealer or $89 on ebay or $120 on Amazon. It is not a knockoff, it is the exact part. Build quality is way high. Only difference is the price. This is just...

    What Sets Truck Front Bumpers Apart?

    They now hang plasiic brackets under the bumpers front and rear at about 8 locations to hold the sensors. Not the greatest design. Plastic under a bumber. You think they'll break? Seems cheezy for an expensive truck. Wonder what other brands do?

    Brake Hold / Auto Brake Feature

    In a 2024, ive noticed it being triggered a few times by mistake, but never on a hill. Twice in flat parking lots. It's pretty confusing until you finally see the red indicator down near your left knee. Obviously this function does malfunction.
