    Loud Roaring Noise

    Nothing new. Truck is still doing it. But 18 months later I am used to it. It doesn't seem to be a problem. And like olyelr said, I notice it more when it's cold.

    Best reducer for hitch 2.5 to 2 inch. And why did Ram go with 2.5 on this gen?

    Does anybody else have trouble with the adapter getting stuck in the receiver? I think the pin is causing a bit of a raised edge in the receiver hole that grabs onto the adapter.

    2022 Limited, Wireless Android Auto drops connection

    My Android Auto will disconnect intermittently (intermittent electrical problems are the worst). Sometimes I can drive for hours without a disconnect. Sometimes it might disconnect every hour or two. Sometimes it might disconnect a few times per hour. There seems to be no pattern I can...

    Climate Control Doesn't Get Warm

    I bought my truck in June, so it's just now finally getting cold enough to need heat. All summer I set my climate control to 72 degrees/auto and the temperature was almost always great. But now that I'm having some 40-50 degree days, the 72 degrees just isn't getting the interior warm enough...

    Hard to find 0W-40 oil

    At the rate of about 14 quarts per year, that sounds like a lot of chain oil! (I don't cut my own firewood. I don't even have a fireplace or a chainsaw.)

    Hard to find 0W-40 oil

    I think my city offers oil collection, but it's only on scheduled weekends throughout the year. I think anyplace that sells oil is required to take used oil, but every time I try to take oil to one of those places it seems like their collection bin is full, or nearly full. It's all just such a...

    Hard to find 0W-40 oil

    For me, probably the worst part of changing my oil is disposing of the old oil.

    Hard to find 0W-40 oil

    Thanks for the tips. I'm happy to know it's not just me that can't find the oil. I ordered from Amazon.

    Hard to find 0W-40 oil

    I'm looking to do the first oil change on my 2022 2500 6.4L gas. The manual says to use 0W-40 oil. I've been to two local auto parts stores and they don't have it. Is this stuff usually difficult to find, or is it just a fluke?

    Keyless Entry Problems

    Has anybody else encountered problems with the keyless entry system? I have a 2022 2500 with the Uconnect 8. Everything worked without trouble for the first 2 months of ownership. Then last weekend, I went to get in my truck and the keyless entry wouldn't work. I tried the remote start, and...

    Bluetooth connection issue with Pixel 6 and UConnect

    I have a Pixel and periodically will just lose connection with the Uconnect momentarily. It's annoying if I'm using my phone for audio, as the audio will just cut out for a couple of seconds. It's also annoying when I'm NOT using audio, because the Uconnect screen will just go black for a...

    Loud Roaring Noise

    Sometimes my truck has a loud roaring noise that kicks in. The first time it happened was when I was towing a trailer up a long hill. I assume this is some sort of fan. But over the weekend, the noise was kicking in when the truck was cold and I was driving up a very minor little rise in the...

    Uconnect 8.4 tiny clock

    Yeah, I also have one in the cluster. That one is small as well. So annoying. This car has more technology than any car I've ever had, and it also has the hardest to see clock of anything I've ever had.

    Uconnect 8.4 tiny clock

    Is there any adjustment to the clock size on the uconnect 8.4? In my old truck I could choose a screen that showed a large clock. This one just has such a tiny clock at the top. And when I'm on the Android Auto screen, the clock is removed entirely.

    6.4l terrible mpg

    I hope that happens for me.

    6.4l terrible mpg

    Yes, 8-speed. I'm skeptical that my gas mileage will change much after 4,000 miles. How much more breaking in could happen?

    6.4l terrible mpg

    I have a stock 2022 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Bed 4x4. I have about 4,000 miles on it. On long highway trips, the best I've seen is 14.6mpg (calculated). Around town I'm usually in the 10-11mpg range. Towing my 7,200 pound trailer I get 7.9mpg. I have a 31 gal tank, so my driving around town...

    Is it possible to remove the cup holder liners?

    In my 2014, this rubber liner removed easily for cleaning. I tried and tried in my 2022, but can't figure out how to get it out.

    Dual Alternator?

    My truck has the dual alternator setup. What does that do for me? Why would I need additional alternator amperage?

    Does the UConnect 12-inch add any functions that the UConnect 8.4 doesn't have?

    The 12" screen has some manual controls. You can still choose temperature and fan speed and turn "auto" on or off. But, you lose the ability to turn on heated/ventilated seats.

    SiriusXM guardian

    I'm thinking about buying a 2022 with "remote start". Are you telling me that the remote start becomes disabled if I don't pay a monthly subscription fee?

    Does the UConnect 12-inch add any functions that the UConnect 8.4 doesn't have?

    Another question: The Uconnect 3 in my 2014 Ram annoys me with the Bluetooth connection. Two things it does: 1) When I get in the truck and start it up, it takes 30-60 seconds before the Bluetooth connects with my phone. (This has happened with multiple different phones I've had over the...

    Does the UConnect 12-inch add any functions that the UConnect 8.4 doesn't have?

    Ohhh, I didn't realize there was a newer Uconnect version for the 2022 trucks. Interesting. I found this that describes some of the improvements in version 5. https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-is-uconnect-5 This one might be handy: "Dual-phone connectivity also becomes...

    Does the UConnect 12-inch add any functions that the UConnect 8.4 doesn't have?

    I am looking at a used 2019 for sale with a 12-inch UConnect. Is the 2019 version different than the 2022 version? (So annoying that the Ram website doesn't provide much detail on these things, or at least I can't find it.)

    Does the UConnect 12-inch add any functions that the UConnect 8.4 doesn't have?

    What is the EVIC interchange display?
