    Oil pan corrosion

    During a visit to the shop and confirmed by my son, my oil pan is corroded and in need of replacement. According to a google search this is not uncommon in the Ram. Hmmmm. So I begin my search for a quality replacement and am finding plenty of cheap aftermarket stuff and a couple high end pans...

    2006 Daytona

    I currently have a 2012 Crew Cab Laramie but came across a 2006 Daytona with low mileage but know very little about these earlier models and in particular the Daytona model. Is there anything you folks can provide to bring me up to speed... thanks

    Rear Brakes

    Due to back, hand and shoulder injuries I haven't been much of a wrench for quite a few years so imagine my surprise when I helped my son change the rotors and pads on my truck and find not only pads but shoes also. Holy Cow....none of my previous trucks had two sets of brakes per wheel. I was...

    Tailgate extender???

    My dilemma... My son dropped an ATV on the top of my tailgate putting two dents, kind of like two moderate crush type dents. The cost to repair is around $800 so my question is.... does anyone know if an extended top lip is made for the RAM that might cover the damage??

    Cracked leather seat

    I have a Laramie Crew Cab with the heated and air conditioned leather seats and the drivers side developed 2 cracks. I've never had this happen before and want this fixed. Can it be fixed and unnoticeable? Driving me nuts.

    Undercoating.....

    I'm sure it been discussed previously but here goes... Is the petroleum based tar like undercoating an acceptable choice? I surely don't want to create a bigger problem. I don't have access to a real garage and the closest business near me is 2 hours away in the next state and is a Ziebart...

    4 Wheel Drive Service Light

    I know this has been discussed before but don't recall what the answer was. In any case whenever I use the remote start I get the service light. I have a weak battery in one of the front TPMS's with the low tire light coming on regularly but just reset it. Related to the 4Wheel Drive Service...

    Battery

    I'm still working on my original battery and thinking it might be best to replace it before I have problems. Hence my 2 questions.....what is the battery of choice? Who makes the factory battery?

    Dash Lights On!

    Yesterday on initial start up the Traction Control light and the ABS light came on and stayed on until I put her in reverse. Once traveling they came on and stayed on for the duration. Later upon start up they came on then went off then came on and stayed on. I haven't plugged her in yet so am...

    ABS and Anti-Skid lights on

    Both lights coming on simultaneously but intermittently and when driving you can feel a bump emanating from the rear. I understand this is likely a wheel speed sensor but how do I test to determine for certain and to determine which sensor?

    OP441 and MDS

    The OP441 code popped up (EVAP) a week ago so I checked the gas cap numerous times yet the code is still there. I also noticed the the MDS notice has disappeared. Are those 2 items linked or 2 separate issues? Besides the gas cap what are the MORE likely issues to check?

    Brakes

    I want to replace the brake pads on my 12 Ram but since I've never had a Ram before I am looking for incite as to what specific pads to use. The rotors are good so I will not be changing them yet and the truck only has 35K on it. My F150 was happy with stock semi-metallic pads but what does...

    1500 vs 2500 Suspension

    Can anyone shed some light on exactly what the differences are between the 1500 and 2500 suspension. Logic tell me a better shock and spring but what else?

    Headliner loose

    My headliner is loose with a visible gap around the moon roof. I can hear the Velcro scratching and no matter how many times I try to push it up it just comes loose again. Is it just Velcro holding it or are there clips in there somewhere? Idea's?

    Throttle lag

    What is the fix for throttle lag and the overall low speed sluggishness? Since I have an extended warranty I can't go tuner and my 2 local RAM dealers said they will look for any tell tale signs. I have a S&B CAI installed and a Mufflex sitting in the garage waiting for install.

    Choppy ride....how to cure?

    One noticeable deficiency IMO with my RAM is the choppy ride when running over ripples and roadway chop. There must be a fix......so what can be done to cure this? Bilsteins, Rancho's or something more intense. I have the 20" rims

    Oil pump upgrade?

    Since some are saying there are issues with oil flow to the top end has anyone employed a high volume/performance oil pump? If so, what are the results?

    Ethanol Crap Sh_t!

    Now that we are back to using regular non-ethanol gas my truck is averaging a full 1 MPG more than with the Ethanol crap. In my former Ford truck I ran 16.6 MPG year round but with the Ram there is a serious difference. Has anyone else noticed this significant a change?

    Lift or Drop, that is the question

    I want to "level" my 2012 CC but don't know which would be best, drop the rear or lift the front. I don't haul anything super heavy, I go off road during hunting season but nothing serious, I don't need a lift per se and I don't want to stiffen the ride or reduce the handling. I like sporting...

    Service 4w light

    The Service 4w drive light keeps coming on every so many start cycles. I had a module replaced (so they say). What could be causing this and what should questions should I be asking the dealer?

    Bed Rails

    I don't see many trucks on here with bed rails but personally like them both for form and function. What is the consensus on them and is there a preferred rail. I like the oval style but haven't yet decided. Also, does one have to remove the plastic top rail to install them or install over?

    What tires are you running....

    I have to rid myself of the stock HP's before they kill me. I have been looking at everything I could find with my focus being to remain with the stock size 275-60/20 although one dealer suggested going to the 275-65/20. Tell me what you are running, what you think of them and the size.

    Service light on......again!

    The service 4 wheel drive light is on again. It seems to come on after so many restart cycles and I just had it serviced for this very issue last week. They said they replaced a module and did a flash update but its on again. I've read about ABS modules getting wet and causing this and a...

    Pistol Grip Shifter

    I didn't know they made these. Expensive but slick, reminds me of the old RoadRunners.
