    Rear trailer camera added

    I ordered my 2022 Power Wagon with the digital rear view mirror cargo camera. I did not realize that also included the wiring for both the rear trailer camera as well as the surround trailer camera wiring. With my RTT I blocked the cargo camera and had limited visibilty out of the rear view...

    HK sound from 19 to 22

    I have the Harmon Cardon stereo in both my 19 1500 and my 22 power wagon. The sound in the 22 is far better and louder than the sound of the 19. Not sure what has changed but it is a big improvement.

    12 volt to keyed ignition

    My 2019 1500 has the 12 volt outlet on top of the dash linked to the key on. My 2022 power wagon is always on. I would like to convert the 2022 12 volt outlet to be activated with the key and not always hot. Is there a simple way to do this. I recall that you might be able to do it by switching...

    2019 vs. 2022 HK stereo

    I recently added a 2022 Power Wagon to my fleet. It has the HK stereo system. I also have a 2019 1/2 ton with the HK system. The 2022 system sounds much better and has much more volume than the 2019 system. Anyone else notice this upgrade?

    No rams built with technology or advanced safety group

    Dealer just let me know that the truck I ordered on March 1 will not be built. Ram is not building any trucks with the technology or advanced safety group. I told him I would wait. If you want a truck with these you better find one and buy off the lot.

    Dodge for the first time finished in a tie for first and Ram was rated 4rth overall for the fewest problems. The best they have ever done and ram is well ahead of its competition.

    Bucket seats

    I have the 5th gen Ram with the bench/bucket seats and my son has a 5th gen Rebel with the bucket seat/center console. The bucket seats on the bench configuration are a little wider and much more comfortable if you are a bigger guy like me. On the rebel the seats always have me riding on one...

    2019 vs. 2020

    I ordered my 2019 and just checked on duplicating it for 2020 but found a few things I did not like. I cannot get the 3.92 ratio with a 5.7, You have to get the 3.6 engine and to get the 33 gallon tank you now must get the 3.6. Also to get the air suspension I would have to do without a lot of...

    Winters over

    I decided I was tired of waiting on winter to get over so I declared it is over and put my summer tire and wheels back on.

    lighted interior controls

    I have a 2019 Laramie with level 2 package and 8.4 screen. The controls for the 4 wheel drive selections and the E locker are not back lit. There is a orange light above the activated selection but at night in the dark you can not see buttons and the overhead light does little when turned on to...

    E locker automatic

    I found out this morning that the new E locker will turn itself off at speeds over 25 and then return when your speed drops below 25 if you have it selected. I figured it would just turn off at 25+ and not come back in until you pushed the button. Very nice for winter driving.

    Dueling key fobs

    I have a 19 ram and my son has a 17 both with the keyless entry. We frequently ride in each others truck together. My key fob works fine when I am by myself but if my son has his key fob it can take a while to unlock the doors with a touch of the handle. 10 seconds or more to get in. If he...

    E Torque payoff

    I did some quick calculation on how many miles it will take to pay off the E torque option at a cost of $900 extra. The 5.7 E torque is rated at 19 combined vs. 17 on the standard hemi. If fuel stayed at $3 per gallon it looks like it will take about 51,000 miles to pay off the difference and...

    Off Road package

    I really wonder why so few dealers order these trucks in without the off Road package. Basically for $795 it is a steal for what you get. Better shocks, 1 inch higher stance, E locker rear end, skid plates. Almost the Rebel package. I ordered mine with the air ride suspension so when needed I...

    How long after build to arrive?

    The truck I ordered right after the July 4 was built last week and is sitting at the factory. I know there is a shortage of rail cars and transports right now in the auto industry. If you ordered one and followed it how long was the delivery time after build?

    2019 production delays

    In my April 30 edition of Automotive Dealer News there is a article about early supply problems for the 2019 Ram. The only trucks being built are the regular 5.7 hemi. Productions is only running at 60% of what FCA had planned for. Most of it is due to supplier shortages. They also have 2500...

    2015+ rear headrest removal

    In the past I have always removed the rear seat head rests for better visibility. On my 2015 I can not get them to come out. They raise about a inch and then no more. Has anyone had luck getting theirs out and what is the trick?

    Engine roar

    I have a 2013 1500 with the hemi engine. A week ago the engine started making much louder than normal noise when ever the rpms get above 2000. It is worst in first or second gear and even does it in park. Sounds like the engine is starving for air. The dealer had no idea when I explained it to...

    What caused this?

    A week ago I started my truck and now when ever it revs to over 2000 rpms it starts roaring making loud sound like it is sucking for air. It never did this before. It does it with or without the AC on, tranny in neutral or park. As soon as it shifts the engine is quiet again. The dealer has no...
