    How can I figure I out my gear ratio?

    I’ve looked for a tag or markings, and asked the dealer. Still don’t know what gear ratio my truck has. Is there an easy way to figure this out? 2019 1500 Laramie 4x4, 5.7 All the best, Glenn

    WTS: AMSOIL EA15K50 and WIX 57526 oil filters

    I have two of each. Full disclosure - Amsoil stopped recommending the EA15K50 for extended life oil changes because it traps too many particulates before the extended life change, and so it will go into bypass before it's time to change it. So if you plan to use these filters, please do so...

    WTS - 5th Gen Rims w/ Lug Nuts - Williamsburg VA

    I have a set of rims off a 5th Gen Laramie truck. They come with all lug nuts. I just cleaned them up this morning to sell. Two are as close to new as can be for used rims. One has some light scuffs around the edge that look to me like they came from a rim machine operated by a...

    WTS - ARE Hard Shell Tonneau Cover for 6'4" bed

    I have a hard shell ARE Tonneau Cover for a 6'4" bed Ram truck. It was originally built for a 2016 Ram 2500 / 3500, but it fit and matched my 2014 Ram 1500 perfectly. Color is "Maximum Steel", which is a darker gray metallic color. Would work well with many color trucks as is. No cracks...

    SOLD!!! Ram Truck Drivers Side Headlight

    This came off my 2014 Ram Sport 1500. There is some hazing in the lens that is visible in the picture. It was bothering me when I had my truck, so I purchased an aftermarket headlight assembly to replace it, as the factory ones like this were crazy expensive. Then I sold the truck. So no use...

    2014 Ram Sport 2WD - Making noise from front end. Wheel bearings / hub assembly???

    A short time ago I heard a metallic rubbing noise coming from my front end. I was thinking, "150K miles - Second brake job time". So I pulled off the wheels to check. Pads actually looked like they had about half life left in them, but my rotors were just a hair over minimum spec, so I...

    I need a "wheel well" type tool box - They all look cheap

    I have an "in bed" (below rail) tool box right now. Really like it. But it takes up quite a bit of my bed length, turning a 6'4" bed into a 4" bed. With the tailgate down, my "Pond Prowler" 10' boat is hanging about 4 feet past the end of the tailgate. Not exactly the safest setup. So I...

    "Ticking" noise and "Coolant gushing" noise

    2014 Ram Sport Quad Cab, 5.7 engine. For the past few months, if I'm sitting at idle in my truck with the engine running and the radio off, I can periodically hear what sounds like water gushing back and forth. Every time I think to check it, the truck's been running for quite a while and it's...

    Lost my fob this weekend - Stuck 3 hours from home

    Went camping 3 hours from home this weekend. I usually put my key fob in the little business card holder looking spot in the front of the center console cutout. Well, coming into the campground, I saw a dumpster. Since we had picked up lunch along the way, I wanted to throw out my trash...

    Weird noise under hard acceleration / uphill towing

    I noticed this the first time I towed with my 2014. If I get on it hard (like merging into fast moving traffic) or towing uphill when pulling my bass boat, it makes a weird noise. The best way I can describe it is getting funny looks, but it's exactly what it sounds like. Have you ever...

    Man... I'm feeling old. SD vs CD

    I've burned my songs onto a CD from iTunes for a long time now. My wife uses her iPod in her truck and since I got the new truck with connections for it, I figured I might do the same. Problem... I can't find my dang iPod! :D So I just burnt another CD and used that. I posted a while back...

    Radio keeps switching between Sirius and Media

    Third potential electrical problem in this new truck. Not sure about this one. Had my radio on Sirius the other day and pulled into the parking lot at work. The comedian I was listening to suddenly went off the air, on the air, off the air, on the air..... When I looked down at the screen...

    Pics of 2013 WeatherTech mats in my 2014

    I decided to go with the WeatherTech's, as others had commented that the 2013 models fit the 2014, even though WT hasn't confirmed that yet. I couldn't wait any longer, so I ordered the black 2013 models. Fit very nice last night. I can't find room for improvement right now. I seriously...

    Tailgate spoiler from my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab

    I have a used tailgate spoiler that I removed from my truck when I purchased a camper shell for it and had to replace the spoiler with a plain cap so the window would close. It is in good condition - faded a bit, but not cracked. Asking $50 plus actual shipping, or pick up in San Antonio, TX...

    Factory carpet floor mats from my 2007 Ram 1500SLT Quad Cab

    I have a set of carpet mats in very good / borderline excellent condition (Drivers side mat "RAM" is worst area) from my 2007 Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab. Taken out at approximately 1000 miles when I got WeatherTech mats and stored in the WT box since then. Asking $50 + actual shipping, or pick up...

    Dash warning about front sensors

    Thinking I might have a small problem that I'll have looked at during my first service for oil change... When i come to a complete stop behind a vehicle, I will sometimes hear a chime and a message flashes on the screen really fast and then disappears. I kept paying attention, and I finally...

    What is this center console SD card slot for???

    In my center console, there is an SD card slot, along with a USB plug, and an "Aux" jack. Right beside that, there is a covered USB plug. I'm guessing the Aux jack and USB plugs are for devices like the ipod, and for charging devices used with USB plugs (please correct me if I'm wrong). But...

    Got a surprise today in my 2014 - Didn't know it did this!

    I live in TX, and the temps don't drop low for long around here. Even when we get some cold weather, it's short lived. Well today, it dropped to 37, with a wind chill that made it feel a lot colder. 20mph +++ winds. Got in my truck and stared it, and I see a quick picture pop up on the...

    Floor liners for 2014 - who makes them?

    I've had WeatherTech Digital fit before and loved them. Problem is - they don't make them for 2014 Rams yet. Not on their site. Emailed to confirm - Not available yet. 4-6 months. "Maybe by Christmas". Dang. So after reading posts here, I checked out Husky X-act Contour - Not available...

    Bought a new 2014 on Veterans Day

    I had a 2007 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500 SLT 4x4. It had just went over 110,000 miles, and things were starting to add up. Tires had about a half-year left of life on them - much less off road tread left than a normal street tire would have. Maintenance was due. Front end was making a rattling...

    How much are OEM mats worth?

    I had a 2007 Ram Quad cab. I took the original mats out at about 1000 miles and replaced them with WeatherTech Floor Liners. I put the original mats away. Well, I bought a new truck on Monday, and I just remembered I had the almost-new mats for my old truck in the garage and dug them out...

    Can you put an aftermarket exhaust on a MDS engine?

    I know you "can", but will it affect the way it performs (and sounds) when it switches from 8 to 4 cyl mode. Or... will an aftermarket exhaust even allow the MDS system to continue to work? The reason I ask is that the dealership I bought my truck from in VA back in 2007 told me that if I...

    Heath - Question for you (and others).

    Back in 2008, right at my second oil change, I swapped over to Amsoil. I have been running it in other vehicles for a LONG time, so I like the stuff a lot. Well, I went with the recommended 5W-20 and for some reason, my gas mileage went to hell right away. I called Amsoil and they told me to try...
