    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    It finally got above 50degrees so that I could apply the vinyl overlays from Reflective Concepts. I never liked the monotone dark look of my truck. These compliments the blue “etorque” badge in the hood. It looks fantastic. Customer service was also outstanding. What I didn’t expect but...

    HELP! Changed battery and my evic is in spanish

    I think that happened in a movie, where someone got hit in the head and all of a sudden could speak fluid Spanish. There could be a connection....

    Hemi tick??

    My 2015 developed the tick around 60k miles. At about 112k miles I confirmed that the cam and lifters on #5 lifters were failing. I traded it in for a 2021 and love this truck even more. The dealership even talked about keeping the rpms up to splash oil around. I opted for 3.92 gears this time...

    Underseat Storage - give me your opinion

    I looked at all of them, held off, and then eventually decided that I really didn't want storage. First of all, I keep stuff under the driver's side rear seat and it all stays in place without a special storage device. Secondly, I frequently go camping and trips up north where I toss lots of...

    Never again

    There is plenty of blame to throw around. Good points have been made about the underlying reasons behind the delays. I also agree about the deposits/pre-payments being an additional source of profit. That is a well-known tactic in all industries. Then again, they are custom-making a vehicle...

    "What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

    Yeah well, the truck knew that you were carrying a basket of laundry. A bucket of tools and that puppy would have opened right up!

    Traction control questions

    You can absolutely shift into 4x4 Auto or 4x4 High while moving, just not 4x4 Low. I did learn something new from looking in my owner's manual (which is a 2021 Bighorn). Check yours since it is a Tradesman. However, it says not to shift while only one set of wheels is spinning, which sounds...

    Oh those seatbelts..... Sorry - I always loved that line from the old commercials.

    First time truck owner

    That's like saying you've only bedded fat girls. You need to take a sporty model between the sheets just for the excitement. Never commit to one, just drive her once or twice for the fun!

    Traction control questions

    Yup, throw it into neutral or 4x4. You can switch into 4x4-High or 4x4-Auto (if equipped) while on the move. It's only for 4-Low that you need to be in neutral with the wheels stopped. I've experienced this phenomenon before as well. I just threw it into 4x4-High and took my foot off of the...

    No spot for Cell Phone!!

    I thought that all of the 5th gen trucks had the cell phone holder cutouts under the screen. I sometimes use the factory cell holder, but also have a RAM X-grip mounted on my dash. It makes it easier to access things quickly while keeping my vision on the road...

    Installing an electrical outlet

    I would also suggest getting a "pure sine" wave power inverter. A normal inverter is fine for most things but on something expensive like a laptop, you should at least read up on pure sine wave inverters to see if that is something that you need. It adds a little cost but is worth it IMO.

    2021 1500 Bighorn Radio question

    There are a ton of posts on this forum and the other one for 5th gen trucks. If you have the base 6-speaker system (not Alpine and not H/K) it is simple. You can fit most 6x9s in both the front and back doors. A lot of people have used the Infinity Reference 9633ix speakers with success. I went...

    What did you drive before your Ram?

    1983 Mustang 3.8L v6 - 112hp stock 1985 F150 - 300 straight 6, a bulletproof stump puller - 4 gears with the first a granny gear, so really a 3 gear truck 1999 Acura Integra stick shift - max hp and torque from 6-7k RPMs. Light and nimble, it was a blast to downshift to 3rd on the highway and...

    Dealer offered services

    They don't give to s**ts about rock nicks. Even minor door dings are usually ignored when you turn in a lease. You shouldn't drop one penny on any of those things unless you expect to keep the vehicle. Even then, I would question most of them. DON'T DO IT. They are straight out asking you to pay...

    Potential truck owner - pre-owned?

    I just traded in my 2015 Bighorn with 112k miles last month. The truck was mint (I mean clean inside and out with the original rugs) except for that both the dealership and I knew that it needed the cam & lifters done and ball joints. They gave me $17k on the trade-in which is right in the...

    New owner with questions

    I have no clue, but you should read all of the tire posts in the 'Exterior' section as this has definitely been discussed ad nauseum. You will also get a lot more answers in that sub-forum if you post your question there.

    "What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

    It's a 2021 BigHorn 5.7L eTorque. I am not looking for a solution as it is pretty clear that this is how these trucks are supposed to function. It's "what I don't like about my Ram" and wish that they made it a selectable option along with the auto-comfort options. That's all.

    Bluetooth Audio Info - Mystery Line

    Maybe your truck doesn't like the Miami Sound Machine?? :D Do a test track by picking a song such as the one above. Fill out every data field with a unique number -- album year, composer, genre, track #, comments, etc. Number each field 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.... Take your USB drive back to your truck...

    "What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

    I read it three times before taking possession. That's why I am griping about it, because this is what it is set to do. It looks like you have a 4th gen truck but are commenting about 5th gen without any reference point.

    Here's a Labeled Fuse Diagram for the 1500

    Awesome work. I know that I kind of messed this up, but I pulled the list from my 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn and put it into Excel, then condensed down to one page and converted back to a PDF. Everything should be mostly the same as your list. Most importantly, one could print off these two pages...

    "What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

    It is. I hit the "Off" button everytime I get out of the truck, but when I remote start in the cold the defrost is on full blast until I hit the push button start.

    First oil change

    Cam and lifters failed on my 2015 last month. Dealer wanted $5700 and my shop down the street wanted $5300. I am now driving a new 2021, switched to 3.92 gears so that the engine is revving higher, will do synthetic oil this time, and drive it harder (service manager's recommendation). I used to...

    "What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

    I do not like that remote start automatically kicks the defrost on. My 2015 would remote start where ever I left the climate controls. We get a lot of snow, and immediate defrost starts melting the snow on the windshield. I want it to stay dry and powdery so it wipes off quickly. In addition...
