    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

    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?

    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

    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.

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

    Looking at the Ram website, it looks like the 12 inch and 8.4 inch both offer all the same functions: https://www.ramtrucks.com/uconnect.html#2020-ram-2500 Is there anything the 12-inch does, that the 8.4-inch doesn't do? Is the size the only difference?

    Has anybody successfully solved a parasitic battery draw problem?

    I have searched through here and found a few threads of people having trouble with parasitic draw, but I didn't find anybody who actually solved the problem. Maybe there is a common thing to look at that frequently goes bad? I have a 2014 1500 Quad Cab 2WD Hemi. My battery seems to be drawing...

    2014 Door Lock Actuator

    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Quad Cab. The driver's door lock actuator has gone bad. I tried to replace it yesterday, but couldn't figure out how to remove the old one. Have any of you done this? The top part of the actuator clips on to a "floppy" black plastic piece that's attached to the...

    Low Speed Descent Control

    When I'm driving on residential streets (~20mph), and get to fairly steep downhills, the transmission downshifts really hard to slow me down. I have to really give a lot of gas to get it to shift back up. It's really awkward. Is there any way to adjust this or turn it off completely...

    A few weeks ago I purchased a brand new 2014 Ram. It has the 3 year/36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. Will I get some sort of warranty card from Ram? Will I get some sort of paperwork listing the limitations/requirements of the warranty?
