    V6 with 35" or 37" tires

    Anyone running this set up? I found a truck I am interested in but it's about an hour away so not real easy to run over and test drive. Before I take the time I'd like to hear opinions on guys running this set up. I currently have a hemi and 35" with 3:21 gears and have no complaints. I know...

    Stuck in park, no brake lights.

    So my column shift is stuck in Park and I have no brake lights. I bought a new brake light switch and it did not fix the issue. Any suggestions on a Sunday afternoon? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Diablo i2 "This vehicle is not supported"

    So I had my truck into the dealership last week for the ABS code and when I picked it up I could tell it was back to the stock tune. I've been running a custom tune since 2015. So I get home and plug my i2 into the truck to reload a tune and get a message "This vehicle is not supported or your...

    ABS light/code

    The ABS light on the dash came on monday then the traction control light came on now it's saying my 4x4 system is temporarily not in service. Also I noticed yesterday my cruise control isn't working. Is this a dealership fix or could a local shop handle it? I'm calling them today, it's been...

    OEM Paint Match help

    I have some stone chips I want to fix so I thought about painting the bottom strip on my truck. Can that be done on your own without professional painting equipment? A rattle can? I mean, I don't want it to look cheapened out and worse but I'm not taking it to a shop either. Or does anyone...

    Rear window leak.

    I know it's probably the 3rd brake light but the only area the gets wet is in the upper passenger side corner of my back window. Just a small area, maybe twice the size of a .50 cent piece. Just wondering if anyone had it ONLY leak in that one spot and figured out that it wasn't the 3rd brake...

    ORP Options

    I'm talking to a dealer and told him I wanted the ORP with 20" wheels and he stated I could only get the 18" so I went and built a truck on Ram's website and it's stating I can have the 20" wheels. I feel like this dealer is pushing me towards what they have in stock not trying to find what I...

    Discount by trim level? Tradesman discount?

    So I know a lot of guys are getting 10k off sticker and more but from what I can gather those are coming from the Laramie's/limited and Big Horns. The theory, higher the price the more padding the dealer has to work with? So I found a tradesman with the Off Road package. I have a tradesman now...

    Tradesman Sport Model

    To replace the 4th Gen Express model in 2020 model year. So basically next summer? I think this is a solid move by FCA and wish they were out now. https://moparinsiders.com/spied-where-is-the-ram-1500-tradesman-sport/

    Friends and Family or Employee Pricing.. What do I qualify for?

    I have a step brother who I haven't seen in a few years. No family problems we just don't seem to connect when his family comes up to visit. He is a service manager at a dodge dealership in Atlanta, GA. To me that means I'd fall under the friends and family pricing but I can't remember now...

    Same Truck, different dealer, big price difference

    So I was speaking with the dealer from the 2nd link and while they are willing to negotiate price I have hard time believing they could get down to the price for the same truck at the other dealer (1st link). Can anyone explain, maybe a salesman on here why such a big difference in price for...

    MPG's on canned tune?

    I've been running a custom 89 tune for a few years, since I bought the i2. I never ran the eco or gas saving tunes. I average around 17mpg's on the clock. What could I expect if I switch to one of the canned tunes for a road trip I am about to take? Thanks

    2019's with old body style

    Has anyone heard about this or have I just missed the conversation? I was talking to a guy who works at the Warren Truck Plant and he said that Ram will continue to produce the 4th gen trucks as the "Classic" designation. He said the plan is to continue to make the truck for 5 years because of...

    Possible new truck question

    I am making the drive to check out this truck after work tomorrow but I had a couple questions for those that have been through the process. Would the dealer swap tires from my current truck to the new one? I only have about 4k miles on a set of 35" trail grapplers and I want to keep them...

    Wheel Bearing? Rattle

    So I can only hear it coming from the driver front wheel but it's over any bump big or small there is a rattle. Metal on metal almost if you can imagine having several pieces of metal in a bag and shaking it, sort of a higher pitched pinging rattle. A buddy said it was my wheel bearings but...

    Price too good?

    So... I don't need a new truck but have been keeping an eye lately anyway. I have a 2014 qc tradesman, hemi, 4x4, almost paid off but I just turned 100k miles.... This is a 2017 crew, 4x4 v6, Big Horn. The upgraded interior would be nice, especially the crew over quad cab. The biggest...

    Changing tune on a long trip?

    I have an I2 with a custom tune and have been running the 89 tune for a long time. Gas mileage really isn't a concern day to day but since I put 35's on it has dropped to around 15 mpg. I am ok with that but will be taking a 1000 mile trip this summer and thought about putting the 87 tune on...

    Front end sounds....

    Bil's set at 2.1 with 35's. I had previous issues with the bil's but it was incorrect installation, not the bil's themselves. Thought/hoped everything was reinstalled correctly. I've had no issues since the reinstall. Now I have a new issue but I am having a hard time figuring out where or...

    Manually adjusting your i2 % throttle response

    So I've had the i2 with a custom tune for over a year. A couple months ago I put 35" tires on my truck and finally got around to calibrating the speedo last night. So while doing this I pushed up the throttle response by 5%. So that's 5% in addition to whatever was written into the custom...

    Rear spacers

    Since having my bil's installed at 2.1 I am not 100% satisfied with the stance of my truck. I'm worried it will be nose high with anything in the bed or with a trailer. I would now like to have 3/4" rear spacers added. Do I need new rear shocks? Just the spacers? Here is what I am...

    Bil's 5100 and rattle/noise/rough ride

    So.... I just had the Bil's installed and set at 2.1 on 35" ridge grapplers. A couple things I've noticed since... 1.) The front measures 39 7/8" vs the back 39 3/8". a.) Shouldn't the back still be a bit higher than the front at 2.1? 1.) Haven't measured all 4 corners but...

    Window's Freezing closed...

    I've never had my windows freeze up as much as in my Ram. It seems any time when its below freezing. I don't normally wash my truck when it's that cold so where is the moisture coming from? Don't get me wrong, it's not a big issue, well except when I pull up to a drive through only realize my...

    Costco Tires

    So I know that Walmart has some Walmart specific tires that some say the quality is less than the same brand counterparts. Goodyear sells a wrangler tire only at walmart, similar to duratracs. Is Costco the same? I did a google search for Durtracs and found the cheapest were available at...
