    FOB and Key Issue

    When fishing and buddies forget something, I have them leave the fob inside the gas door. If you’re not comfortable with that, tell the transport guy to take the key back to the office and you’ll pick it up after.

    Thanks for picking up the box @pajeepman or should I say Bro. ;). I hope you enjoy it.

    No Subs, just the enclosure. 3rd & 4th Gen Ram MTX Thunderform Sub Enclosure Accepts 10" subs. Form fitted to 3rd and 4th gen rams, quad or crew cab. This is from 2 vehicles ago ;) and I still have it sitting around. Rather than throw it out, I'd rather see someone get some use out of it...

    Common issues with the 5th Gen

    I went with my inner old man, LOL. Got a Limited 4WD with every gadget. I did however protect my interest. I was not sure if I would miss a full size (so far no) so I leased it for 2 years and took the equity from my old truck and banked it. If after 2 years I feel I made a mistake, I’ll be...

    Thanks for asking. A couple of shots the day after I picked it up.

    Common issues with the 5th Gen

    I did not have all of them but I did have many of them. Fortunately I didn’t have the AC Vent whine or leaks. And yes, I’ve moved on. I went back to a mid-size truck in a Tacoma. Before family requirements, I had a couple and always enjoyed them. Now that my family is older and my truck...

    Common issues with the 5th Gen

    You’ll find out that many 4th gen issues have carried over to the 5th gen. Hemi tick, broken header bolts, AC Vent whine, leaking 3rd brake light, backup camera periodically working, audio cutting out, rear hollow sounding doors, I’m sure I’ve missed a few. They have introduced a few new ones...

    BFG a/t ko2 questions ?

    It’s really going to be a your mileage may vary type thing there. I run these tires in 275/65/20 and have found 46 to be my preferred feel and wear. Google chalking tires for proper pressure. You’ll learn where to set them.

    Financing question

    I agree with TMeyers, if you have a local Credit Union. Try them first. Dealers get kickbacks from banks they work with which is why they want your info. They’ll send it out to a few or even more to get the best rate BUT! your credit can go down by them just doing that so be careful and ask...

    To trade-in or not to trade-in?

    If you’re just bored and want a new vehicle, I’d say go with it if it’s in your financial ability. This is pretty much the exact scenario that made me make the jump a year and a half ago. Fast forward to today, it’s still a Ram, it still has quirks from the prior generation like the vents, hemi...

    Getting excited - "What should I offer"?

    I always shoot for 20% on new models. If it were a 19, I’d say go 25%. For me, I’d be very happy if they made the sale price 50k.m on that 20. Anything more than $51.5, I’d walk.

    2017 F-150 Lariat 5.0 to 19 Rebel?

    Had 2 consecutive F150s before I bought my 14 Ram. I liked the Ram so much that I bought the 19. Couldn’t see myself ever going back to Ford before buying another Ram. I can’t knock the Ford, great trucks but the ride and style of the Ram is light years ahead of the F150 now.

    Are you using your Ram properly?

    I went to a farm festival last week and the winning pumpkin was just shy of 1500 lbs. Amazing!

    What are people getting as a percentage off MSRP?

    21.2% if you want to be exact. ;) At the time there was a $4500 rebate on my model, that $4500 is included in that percent I listed.

    Brakes /caliper squeaking

    Yep, I’ve done the same in-between service visits. Clean and grease up the pins and clip contact points. Keeps it quiet a bit.

    Brakes /caliper squeaking

    My post is going to be long but thorough...….enjoy? the read I and some others on the other site have the issue. The issue is with the lobe of the brake pads rubbing against the anti-rattle clips, making the chirp or squeak sound. While you may know this, I am writing so everyone...

    Better deals when buying 2 vehicles?

    My basic math was 2k off earlier. Must have been those football beers... Anyways, he sells to the dealer (his trade) for $22k. They pay off his loan, $6k and hand him a check for the balance, $16k. Not sure where you are getting the low number??

    Better deals when buying 2 vehicles?

    I don’t think all are understanding that your non-paid off vehicle is actually a large down payment. He owes 6k on the loan, the truck is worth 22k which would give him a net 14k trade in, a 14k down payment. I did the same with my 14. I had 16k of equity going into my 19. As others have...

    What can / cant be upgraded in trim levels?

    I've had my 19 for 14 months now and have been hanging around the 5th gen. forum and new 5th gen. site for about 16 months, almost daily. Nothing seems easy to be honest. Keyless entry, definitely not. Rear USB ports, no dice. There are things like the bed lights, wireless charger and bed...

    2019 Lease Deals

    The dealers advertised price probably includes the rebates you qualify for already so that is a large chunk right there. Quick math says you're looking for 30% off MSRP and that's going to be difficult to achieve.

    4wd and abs light caused by animals?

    Not lie per se but it sounds like they are unsure. The old replace this and that and "see" if it fixes it.

    4wd and abs light caused by animals?

    I'd have to call shenanigans if I received that answer from my service department. Not saying it isn't so but they'd have to walk me to the vehicle and show me what they see.

    Bought a week ago and frozen screen

    Oh, if you do the battery trick, know that some options on your screen may not immediately show up. It will take a few minutes for those features to propagate.

    Bought a week ago and frozen screen

    While it is a lousy solution....you could pull your negative cable from your battery. Let it sit 15 minutes and reconnect. Should be back in business. These units are computers and unfortunately, they're not truly automotive tested and just like your laptop or cell phone, they need a reset...

    Water leaking into my door panels and speakers...

    There is a drain hole at each end of the door, make sure they're not clogged.
