    Lifter tick? Or exhaust tick?

    Sounds like an exhaust manifold to me. I just had one of mine replaced because it was cracked. Sounded just like the video you have. I had it to several dealers over the course of 8+ months for what I thought was a manifold issue (sound wasn’t as loud), but they said it was fine. Took it...

    Driving with manifold leak

    Ditto to JF19Longhorn. For 8+ months I have been back and forth to several dealers with the concern of an exhaust leak somewhere, specifically the manifolds. Finally, after hearing a much louder noise, I took it to a different dealer and they quickly diagnosed it with a crack to the right...

    Exhaust issue or am I crazy?

    Both this one and my ‘17 Express got 20+ consistently on the highway. MDS is on, but I don’t usually see it kick in on the highway at 70-80mph though. Usually driving backroads. The service director thought the hiss sound might be a trans fluid heater(?). But now that the manifold leak has been...

    Exhaust issue or am I crazy?

    Hi All, So I have a 2019 Ram Bighorn CC North Edition 5.7L with the 8-speed. About 42k on it. Been having some issues since I got it and some have been fixed. One that has been constant since a transmission valve body was replaced is a “hiss” sound that occurs when the rpms rise during 1st >...

    Are all dealers overfilling engine oil?

    With my new to me ‘19 bighorn, I had a few issues, even with it being a certified pre-owned. Currently, I’m getting a “putt putt” sound, if you will, at start up and while driving. Almost sounds like exhaust issue (had one already just before the muffler). This sounds like it’s at the bottom of...

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    Got the DRL’s on in the lights menu in settings! But as stated above, they only go on when the headlights are on full, not in DRL mode. Task for another day I guess!

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    Thought I had it figured out once I got the DRL’s on via the settings in my radio and spliced my amber lights into the hot wire for the headlight. But the ambers don’t come on with the DRL’s. Only once the full headlights come on. I did try the fuse for the adjustable pedals (F20), but that left...

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    SOB!! I do have that setting for the daytime running lights! Maybe I’ll splice into that if the add a circuit doesn’t pan out. Thanks!

    it’s a 5th gen

    I’ll go check that out and see if I have it!

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    yes, that’s what I’ve been working with. I don’t have an F66 there. Just goes to 64. In my manual, F66 is located in the internal power distribution center under the passenger side control panel.

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    So F66 is located on the internal distribution center? I’d have to run a wire through the firewall to tap into it? Was hoping for the one under the hood.

    Option for what? DRL’s?

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    Ohh, I see. It’s “run-accessory feed.” I will try that out! Thanks! Wiring is done, but if 66 doesn’t work, I’ll give the plastic cone a try!

    No DRL’s. Where to wire for “always on?”

    Hi All, Looked for an answer in other threads for grille lights wiring, but no luck. I’ve got a 2019 Bighorn CC North Edition and do not have DRLs. I was looking to add some amber LED grille lights and have them always on. Can someone give some advice on the best way to wire them? I.e. Add a...

    How to: DIY Grill Lights

    I was looking to do this to my truck as well. Great how-to! But my ‘19 Bighorn doesn’t have DRL’s. Any recommendation on where to tie in a relay instead?

    I’m just NW of Boston, but not sure what’s going on with my truck. Maybe fuel, maybe something else. I have a 2019 Big Horn North Edition (new to me) and it’s getting horrible gas mileage (compared to what I am use to). My ‘17 Express got around 22mpg highway and 16-17 or so city. Getting 13.5...

    Bighorn North Edition Like/Dislikes

    For the North Editions, I’m showing on my equipment list as having 3.21 gears. On some other posts, I saw the the off-road package has 3.92 gears. Not sure what’s going on with mine, but the MPG is a lot worse than it was on my ‘17 Express. Showing an avg. around 13.5-14 and close to 16.5 on the...

    Bighorn North Edition Like/Dislikes

    I don’t have the tilted mirrors on this one. It’s got the off-road package and towing package. The tow mirrors have the blind spot mirrors as well which I’m getting used to. I didn’t understand why a “North Edition” wouldn’t have heated side mirrors, but I’m told the tow mirrors don’t usually...

    Bighorn North Edition Like/Dislikes

    thanks! Yes, I’m really liking the color. Can’t find many Red ones around, even online. My last 2 Rams and Wrangler were black. Figured I’d switch it up a bit!

    Bighorn North Edition Like/Dislikes

    Hi All, I recently picked up a “new-to-me” 2019 Bighorn North Edition Crew Cab. I’ve got a baby on the way and wanted something with a few more comforts than my ‘17 Express. I really like it so far, especially with the remote start and heated seats/steering wheel for these cold Mass. days. But...

    Used Rebel vs. Purchased new Express

    I went on kbb as others suggested and saw that this one was in fact over priced. I looked around and found a few with much less miles for around the same price. Unfortunately, my wife is quite unimpressed with all the red in the interior and forbid me from getting one like that haha. I got the...

    Used Rebel vs. Purchased new Express

    Thank you all for your input! Gives me a lot to think about. I’m going to the dealer tomorrow to poke around for some more info. They taunt me when I go there for my maintenance. Right next to the Rebel is an ‘18 power wagon (way out of my price range). I try to hide in the waiting room. I may...

    Used Rebel vs. Purchased new Express

    This is a black one. A concern I have with the resale value on it is the ALL red back of the front seats. I can get use to it, but I worry that others can’t and it might take away from the value.
