    Taking on Water...

    2014 Model here .... just found the "second" source of my water intrusion too (second because I've already fought with the third brake light on multiple occasions). Unacceptable Ram Trucks. Unacceptable.

    Towing Heavy with a 1500 ... Who does it?

    Age old problem (and question) ~ 2014 1500 here ... Crew Cab, 4x4, 5.7L, & 3.92 in the rear. And I want to tow heavy. My door sticker says GAWR (F & R) at 3,900 LB, GVWR at 6,900 LB, & Payload at 1,391 LB. ~Darn rear coil springs. I've towed my prior Travel Trailer, a 26' w/ Tongue Wgt of 760...

    Odd Outer Wear on Left Rear Tire & Vibration ...

    No weight issues .... I ride fairly light. I may check the bearings; but, gah, I'm only just about to hit 60k miles. Another reply pointed the finger at the tires themselves; and, I looked yesterday and the tire that was replaced looks decent & the other three are exhibiting this wear pattern...

    Odd Outer Wear on Left Rear Tire & Vibration ...

    Vibration seems to stay in the rear ... nothing felt in the steering, more of a "seat of your pants" vibration. The rear tires show the outer wear much more so that the front's. Seems the left rear is the most prevalent. I run the pressure around 42 PSI (39 PSI is the spec) It seems more-so...

    Odd Outer Wear on Left Rear Tire & Vibration ...

    So ever since I replaced the OE Goodyear Wrangler's, I've had a vibration. Even after I had the new tires balanced three different times by three different shops. Eventually, I just got use to it. Now, after 26k miles on the 2nd set, I'm seeing an odd wear pattern .. particularly on the outer...

    The 5.7L Hemi "Tick" that I swore was mechanical, but is in fact broken exhaust manifold stud(s)

    Sure this has been beaten to death ... so here goes my rant ... 2014 1500 w/ the 5.7L Hemi ... 53k miles ... less than a year out of the 5yr/100k Powertrain Warranty. I've been hearing a "tick" for awhile ... seemed to go away after it was warmed up. Because of that, I never took it into the...

    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    No guys, I'm asking: 1) Has the manufacturing defect been corrected, so new MOPAR manifolds are no longer expected to warp or 2) Is resurfacing the old manifolds the only way to go

    Exhaust Manifolds | Warped

    So, if one opted to buy "new" MOPAR manifolds, has the manufacturing issue been corrected? Or, is resurfacing the only way to go?

    Uconnect OTA Update Endless Loop Fix

    Mine tried to update while I was driving & failed. I reset the system & the "endless loop" went away and I got my radio back. Now it's trying to update again & doing the exact same crap. I'll try the OP's instructions ... this sucks!!

    V44 Tailgate Latch Recall & Spray-In Bedliners that cover the Tailgate Cover

    Now, on my 2014 Ram w/ just over 50k miles, my tailgate has never fallen. I hear the lock mechanism make an electrical-squeal noise from time-to-time when unlocking/locking ... but the tailgate has never fallen. Anyway, I typically get the Recalls completed. To my point ... on my 2014, the...

    HVAC Recirculation Coming On/Off By Itself???

    Starting to wonder if my "humidity sensor" is jacked ... seems like mine just actuates way more often than in the past.

    HVAC Recirculation Coming On/Off By Itself???

    OK ... makes sense I suppose. I just don't recall the system ever doing this in prior summers (I've owned the truck since new); and, where I'm at in N. Carolina its "always" humid in the summer! ~sigh

    HVAC Recirculation Coming On/Off By Itself???

    2014 1500 Crew Sport, 34k miles - Something new this summer with my HVAC - the system seems to be activating the recirculation by itself! I'll have the AC on (not in auto) ... doesn't seem to really matter the specific settings ... and, the fan "noise" will be what you'd expect with outside air...

    Fit System snap-on tow mirrors

    I have a set; and, on my painted mirrors, they've damaged the mirror housing slightly at the pressure points. I'm currently looking for something different. Can't say I had any issues with vibrations though.

    Uconnect 8.4 & 8.4an update - 17.11.07

    A heads-up in all the communications would've been helpful though. As well, the support folks were sure it was a failed update & made no mention that the symptoms were normal. All seems to be working now, so that's whats important to me (along with not having to visit the dreaded dealer).

    Uconnect 8.4 & 8.4an update - 17.11.07

    So I did my over-the-air update today (2014 Ram 1500 Sport w/ the navigation unit). After it was finished, my system went completely weird ... I had a "SRT" splash screen come up, and I lost my NAV, console CD, & SD disk functions. "All" of my presets disappeared, NAV points, etc. too. It...

    Scratched Door Glass (exterior)

    What I'm thinking ... might try another dealer before warranty ends; if not, I'll likely go this route.

    First oil change

    I stick a cooking pan that's shaped sort of like you'd cook a meat loaf in under the filter ... fits just right in there. Then, I loosen the filter & let it all drop in the pan - pulling the pan, oil, & filter out all at once after its done. Been pretty successful for me so far.

    Scratched Door Glass (exterior)

    Had my day at the dealer today ... getting the run around as I suspected I would. Tech says there was sand in the belt molding & it caused the scratches on the exterior of the glass. I'm thinking, "well no kidding". Anyway .. says they "cleaned the belt molding", but don't think it will be...

    Trash in paint

    2014 here ... same thing. Trash = dust/dirt/grit in paint during either the base coat or clear coat. Turns up looking like there is a piece of sand in the paint. Should be unheard of these days ... especially on a $50k plus truck.

    Scratched Door Glass (exterior)

    My prior truck was a Ford F-250 ... no matter how well I kept the belt moldings clean, the thing was notorious for scratching the heck out of the door glass when the windows went down. With the Ram, I was sure I'd never have this aggravation again ... until I rolled down my passenger window...

    Condensation in headlights

    Mine does the exact same thing ... it sucks ... I learned to live with it.

    Best epoxy/glue?

    It really depends on what "type" of plastic (assuming its plastic) that you're trying to bond. Epoxies don't bond low surface energy plastics (like polypropylene, polyethylene, and TPO’s) very well at all. Most of the fog/headlight housings are these types of plastics. In this case, I'd...
