    Replacement Head Rest

    Hello, In the majority of the years that I've had my truck there has always been a car seat back there. But now that I can pull the seat out I can't find the headrest. So does anybody have a good idea on where I could locate a rear gray cloth headrest? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Air-conditioning Turning on by itself.

    Has anybody experienced the air conditioning or compressor "turning on by itself"? Lately I've been driving with AUTO off and A/C button off with regular air coming through the front vents. But suddenly the temp out the vents will drop and I'll actually hear the fans in the front grille on as if...

    Sounds bad on cold start.

    So after sitting for 7 days while I was away at a Microsoft conference, my engine sounded bad for about 1 -1.5 seconds during the cold start. Has this happened to anybody else? It's the first time I've heard this sort of thing.

    So when weather happens...

    ... This happens. A huge branch broke off of the tree in my yard. The roof, hood, driver side fend, and A-pillar over door are dented. I wonder what the insurance estimate is going to look like. Especially with the damage where the roof meets the windshield.

    Snow/Ice and Parksense sensors

    How does everybody handle snow and ice when it accumulates on the Parksense sensors? I'll clear it off but still have to disable them 'till the bumper is dry.

    Traded in for new wheels.

    Gents, I traded in my 2015 Express CC for a 2017 Big Horn CC. I kept the 5.7L HEMI and 4x4 but swapped the 3.21 rear for 3.92. It's an awesome drive. Exhaust sounds a little throatier to me. Is there any difference there between the years exhaust wise? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Buy one tire or four?

    I've caught a nail in my right rear near the sidewall causing a slow leak. Pepboys is scared to plug it. My fronts have medium wear and the rears lighter wear after 49K MI. Should I replace just the one with the nail or replace all four stock tires to get better rubber all around?

    Accidentally left window open.

    Sigh tonight I accidentally left the driver side rear window open through a thunderstorm. When I came out that window still works from the driver's controls but not from the switch on the door. I assume the switch is water logged. What do you guys think my plan of action should be? Sent from...

    Future 5.7L Plug Change Questions

    I was looking around in my engine bay thinking ahead to my spark plug change in about 20K mi. I was wondering for those who have done the change, how do you work around the brake booster on the drivers side? And how do you work around the coolant hoses over the read plug on the passenger side...

    Newbie Towing Question

    Hey Guys, In a couple of days I'll be doing my first tow, a u-haul trailer. I assume the truck will handle this with ease. My truck came with the Class IV receiver hitch. Reading up on receiver hitches I see that class IV receivers are rated up to 10K lbs. What is the Mopar receiver rated...

    Chipped paint on bed.

    Hi Guys, This morning I found this chipped area on the passenger side of my bed right behind the cab. I don't know when this happened but for it to expose metal it must have been a hard hit. I see the slightest twinge of rust. What could I do to treat this to prevent further damage...

    First Major Haul

    This past weekend I had my first major haul. I was impressed at how effortlessly my HEMI hauled 1/2 ton of stone dust 40mi for my dad's patio. Handling changed a little bit but that was it. Am I too easily impressed? This is my first truck.

    What I love about my truck...

    Is there a "What I love about my truck thread"? On another forum for the previous vehicle I had there was a thread like this. If there isn't one here lets start one. It'd be cool to see what everyone loves about their ride. Coming from a Subaru Forester and my truck being my first truck...

    First truck experience so far.

    So my Express Crew Cab 4x4 HEMI is my first truck. I'd always had a crush on pickups but didn't pull the trigger till last week. My family took our first long distance drive in it last night driving from Philly to Norfolk, VA. I'm now in love with my truck. I'm THIS close to swearing off...

    Hello Everyone!! Wednesday I bought my first truck, 2015 Ram 1500 Express Crew Cab 4x4 w/ 5.7L Hemi. This is a pretty big change from what I've had in the past: Subaru Forester, Chevy Equinox, Dodge Caliber. So far I love the power, cabin room, and the view from above.
