    Block Heater - Connecting to AC Power

    Well, seems RAM thought the best place for the block heater power cord was on top of the passenger wheel well requiring the need to open the hood for access. I'm thinking about installing a waterproof power inlet socket like the Noco unit. What I'm looking for is a creative place to install it...

    Ram 1500 Limited/Longhorn Cold Weather Cover 82216061AC

    I need some help. I purchased a Mopar Cold Weather Cover, part number 82216061AC for my 2022 Longhorn 1500 ED. The Mopar fitment guide says this is the correct cover and it fits including the cutout for the front camera. The issue is the two staps that hang from the lower ends of the cover and...

    Strange TPMS Behavior

    The first issue with my 2022 1500 that I took delivery of in January of this year. I know, I'm very lucky to have a trouble-free vehicle so this isn't a complaint but a wonder. When I turned off the truck yesterday I noticed a message on the DIC that gave me a low tire pressure warning, this...

    2022 UConnect 5 and HUD Settings

    On my new 2022 Longhorn, I set up the HUD's operating parameters, the brightness, location, and one of the display formats. Hit the "save" and all is good until the next ignition cycle where all the HUD settings are reset to their default values. Is anyone else have this issue with a 2022 and...

    C1556 DTC - Anyone Experienced This

    Out of the clear blue one morning when starting up, I get an EVIC message that said the rear air suspension system needs immediate service. My code scanner (BlueDriver) pulled DTC C1556 (no sub-type code) from the ASCM. There are no other DTCs set and no other ICON lamps illuminated, A Google...

    Lug nuts and MaxCare warranty Question

    Recently put new tires on my 2013 RAM, as a side note, the factory Goodyears made 72,600 miles. The tire shop told me I needed new lug nuts because of lug nut swelling, a condition where lug nut rust pushes out on the chrome lug nut caps. I checked and a 22mm socket would only go on the lugs...

    Oh No, crunch

    I can tell you stories about how dirty the backup camera was and couldn't see anything or whine about the rear park assist not going off but in the end, it was me not paying attention and boom, backed right into my goose neck dump trailer. I ordered a new, painted tail gate. Should be here...

    Blackstone Labs has ended the "which oil is better" debate.

    I just read their research, they are in a position to put together the useful data that can generate an opinion. Bottom line, you are wasting your money on expensive oils. deadspin-quote-carrot-aligned-w-bgr-2<\/title><path d="M10,3.5l3-3,3,3Z" style="fill:%23fff;stroke:%23fff"/><path...

    Cummins warm-up time in the Winter

    I'm just wondering what the warm up time (time before cabin heat is noticed) for trucks with the Cummins diesel in the Northern climates. For example, it is 20 degrees F outside, how long. I notice the Ford offers an aux electric water heater with their PS diesel but didn't see the same...
