Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?
Got a 2019 5.7 ticker in my Ram 1500. If it sits overnight or longer it will usually but not always get the startup ticking, which goes away after 10 seconds or so. I have 16000 miles and it has ticked from day one. Interesting read here in the forum about someone mentioning a hard tick at...- tdeperte

2019 Laramie Led Headlights
Same vehicle, no adjustment for those lights. They are on all the time and get washed out in bright light. -
2019 LED Headlight Trim Lights on all the Time
Please don't post here unless you have a 5th Gen (2019) or have knowledge of the lighting issue I am describing. 2018 and previous year lighting is not relevant to this discussion. -
2019 LED Headlight Trim Lights on all the Time
There are certain times you don't want any exterior illumination, hunting for one. The low beam headlights are the DRL and are activated through the Uconnect settings, giving the operator a choice. Apparently with these lights there is no choice. -
2019 LED Headlight Trim Lights on all the Time
On my 2019 the white strip lights above and below the LED headlights are on all the time the truck is running. Doesn't matter if in park, ebrake on, those lights are on all the time. Anyone figured a way to turn them off? It doesn't make sense to have them on all the time, night and day... -
Anyone install running boards on there 5th gen
I just installed running boards on my 2019 Laramie and the advice given above is spot on. When I saw the existing factory stud bolts I thought this is going to quick and easy. Wrong! The supplied nylon lock nuts would go on crooked and seize up due to the paint overspray on the threads. I was... -
Just put a deposit on a '19 Laramie, but have a concern...
I just purchased a 2019 Laramie 4x4. Mine came with anti spin but it is not something I would have ordered with 4x4. It just happened to be on the truck that had the options I wanted. All you have to do when the going gets rough is push the auto 4x4 button.- tdeperte

Dealership Says No Lubricating Front Driveshaft
Is someone saying "Factory Certified Technicians that know your vehicle" don't know about this grease fitting that just about every owner knows about???- tdeperte

How do you all choose a service center? Poor reviews all around me....
I share your frustration in finding a competent dealer to provide good service. So much hype about factory trained technicians who know my vehicle. They don't know diddly. Everytime I have warranty work done my vehicles are returned to me in an incomplete state. Everytime. Just had the water...- tdeperte

Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue
I believe there are widespread problems with the manual HVAC system in later year Rams pertaining to the recirculate door not operating correctly. Every dealer that has looked at this problem has returned the vehicle to me after repair stating "tested the system all is well" or something to that... -
Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue
So today the dealer replaced the heater AC controller. This is the second time it has been replaced. The system is better but still not right. When I turn on the ac it is in recirculate mode (again, controls for that mode and indicator lights are off) but if I turn on and off recirculate the... -
Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue
As does mine, but then mine goes back into recirculate on its own with no recirculate light illuminated. -

Nexen tire bombs
Don't trust those Nexens, especially on the front. I had a rough ride develop that I thought was the road surface. It would come and go over several days. A few days later I was stopped at a red light. When the traffic started to move my steering wheel would jerk back and forth below about 5...- tdeperte

Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue
I have wondered this from the beginning, especially after I saw a 2018 do it. But there is nothing about it in the owners manual and it doesn't make much sense to have the outside air option if it is always going into the inside air mode by itself. If true, I need to hear it from an engineer... -
Heads Up - HVAC Recirculating Issue
I have had an issue on my 2016 3500 since new where my air conditioning and heating system keeps going into recirculate mode by itself. In this mode it is using inside cabin air only. I am in the process of taking this vehicle to the third dealer in am attempt to get this fixed. During this... -
Things to consider when buying CTD
If you don't need the diesel for towing get a gasser. The fuel is almost always cheaper, the maintenance costs will be cheaper, no def and you won't have the emissions complexity with a gasser. 15-20 years ago it was the exact opposite but today I would never have a diesel unless I needed it...- tdeperte

Bad heater core?
Since you have an extended warranty, take it in with your symptoms or complaints and do not mention the heater core. Let them diagnose it and it should all be covered.- tdeperte

Nexen tire bombs
I too pull a fiver and have 18,000 miles on my Nexens. The fronts I'll be lucky to get 25,000 miles. The rears are wearing well, should get at least 40,000 on those. You can't easily rotate the tires on these duallies with the TPMS. You have to dismount and remount and balance. My next set will...- tdeperte
