    AM Radio Antenna Issues

    My truck is a 2016 2500 4X4 CTD Tradesman but I have the 8.4 radio with nav I upgraded from Infotainment. A short time back, while driving along all of a sudden my AM radio reception went to about zero. Just static and scratchiness. After fooling with the radio and not being able to improve it I...

    Recall Notice Received...(Or Not)

    I wish I'd kept this so I could have scanned it to show Y'all. A couple days ago I received another recall notice on my 2500 Ram CTD. It said that there was a recall on my water pump and it could cause a fire if not taken care of. (Which I did like 6 months ago, give or take) It went on to...

    Window Cleaning Suggestions

    Ok, this isn't the biggest problem in the world, it's not a "major mod" or anything along those lines and call me anal if you want but... What's the best way and/or product you've found to clean your windows? It just frustrates me to take the truck to a car wash, or spend the time to do it...

    For those that don't think the cabin air filter mod is worth it...

    For those that don't think the cabin air filter mod is worth it check this... ...this is after about 15,000 miles and a little more than a year's time. I actually don't go off road as much as I'd like to so this is probably about 90% street driving. Imagine all that caked on your AC...

    Rear Seat "Hooks" (if that's what they're called) anybody got an extra one?

    I did the rear seat mod to allow the rear seat back to fold forward so I could put stuff behind the seat. I did the method where you cut off the bottom of the hooks so when the seat is folded up or down the hooks holding it to the rear of the cab will clear their brackets so the seat can fold...

    Uconnect 5.0 Mirroring -Anybody Try This Yet?

    I've been perusing the internet trying to figure if there was a way to mirror my iPhone onto my Uconnect 5.0 screen. I was looking at upgrading to the infotainment upgrade to the 8.4 4C NAV UAQ Retrofit Kit with Apple CarPlay for nearly $2100, which appears to be the only way they have to do...

    Free Spin Kit?

    Anybody done this to their HD 4x4? Was it worth it? Is it something that's difficult to do yourself? Any other comments good or bad? https://www.dynatrac.com/free-spin-kits/dodge-truck/free-spin-kit-2012-2017-dodge-2500-and-3500-with-dynaloc-hubs.html Thanks!

    Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Recall Info Now Online

    I just checked the Mopar recall site... https://www.mopar.com/en-us/my-vehicle/recalls/search.html ...and the recall info for the collum shifter is up now. Of course "parts not yet available". Although the recalls are annoying, I can understand with something as complicated as a truck that...

    Truck Bed Ladder

    If you’re like me, especially if you own a Ram 2500 4X4 pickup, the StepDaddy Ladder is a real handy accessory to have for your truck. As you get older, (like me), it can be even more important to have a way to climb up into the bed of your truck. The StepDaddy Ladder is a very strong and...

    Uconnect 5.0 / Backup Camera - Temporary Blackout

    Hopped in the truck this evening and started her up and....a black screen on the Uconnect with no backup camera. Turned the truck off and restarted it to see if it would come on and still nothing. So I backed out of the driveway and about 3 seconds after I put it in drive the radio came on but...

    Finally Got’er Done! The Saga of the Wench Mount.

    Finally Got’er Done! The Saga of the Winch Mount. This evening I finally finished up mounting my Westin Sportsman Winch Mount / Grille Guard and my 12,000-pound Smittybilt X2O winch. It has been quite a “saga” as I first ordered this winch mount on June 13th…105 days, or 3 months, 13 days...

    Chrome to Black - Should I

    I've been debating turning my chrome bumpers, front and rear, black on my '16 HD Tradesman CTD. I do have a black billet grille (haven't update my avatar picture yet) and I am going to put a black Westin Sprotsman's Grille Guard/ Winch Mount with a 12,000-pound Smittybuilt winch. (have the...

    20" vs. 18"

    Just a kinda "I'm curious" general question about tires/wheels for our trucks. What are the advantages or disadvantages of 20s vs. 18s or vice versa if the tire diameter and width is basically the same? Just my thought on this, and I could be totally wrong with my theory, but to me, the...

    Door Lock Delay

    Just wondering if this is normal or if I need to get it checked. When I exit my truck I have the habit of hitting the lock button on the door (not the fob) as soon as the door opens as then it's locked when I close it. Most of the time there seems to be a delay with the door lock button. It...

    Uconnect 5.0 iPhone text reading?

    OK, first off I know the limits between Uconnect and the iPhone suck compared to Android type phones but I'm not going to change phones. My question is with my iPhone 6 my Uconnect 5.0 ('16 CTD Tradesman) used to announce text messages and read them to me. I couldn't text back but at least I...

    Airing down an HD?

    I know that airing down your tires can be real important if you get in some soft stuff. My question is, with an HD Ram ('16 2500 4x4 CTD) how far would you air down the tires. I'm afraid of going too low on the pressure and losing the bead because of the extra weight of the 2500 vs the 1500...

    Winch Size?

    I'm going to be putting a winch on my '16 2500 Tradesman 4x4 Crew Cab CTD and I was hoping I could get some input from the members here that have some winch experience as to what size winch would be best. I've read that you should get one that can pull double the weight of the truck. Since the...

    Skid Plate Confusion

    I was looking into getting a front dif and a transfer case skid plate for my 2016 2500 4x4 CTD. After researching here, and some other places, I've come up with five part numbers for the two skid plates... 82210014 - (sometimes listed with an AC on the end of it) 82210021 - (sometimes...

    Shell Ram Badges - Update

    Remember this thread... http://www.ramforum.com/f41/shell_ram_badges-92371/ In that thread I said I wasn't sold on the Ram badges, mostly because they didn't quite fully cover the "dimple" in the shell. I also said if I found badges that covered the "dimple" completely I'd probably switch...

    Folding rear seat mod - Fold flat load floor

    I've searched and read about every thread about the fold down rear seat back mod and I haven't seen this addressed, unless I missed it somehow, but does putting the spacers (washers, blots etc.) to lift the seat the required 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch cause any problems with the fold flat load floor...

    12 volt Air Compressor / Tire Pump

    I have occasion, once in a while, to go into areas where it would be advantageous to drop tire pressure to be able to drive out instead of walk out. Being that the TPMS will harass me until I re-inflate the tires I figured I'd get some type of small 12 volt air compressor / tire pump to carry...

    Shell Ram Badges

    This is sort of a post about a Ram as it involves a shell sitting on a Ram and involves a couple Ram badges. Anyway, as you can probably tell by looking at my truck "I don't need no stinkin' badges". I've de-badged my entire truck except for the dinner plate sized tailgate badge and I'd...

    Tire Score!

    It pays to check Craig's List once in a while. Got a set of 275/70/18 Falken Wildpeak ATs with about 3000 miles on them mounted on stock chrome clads for $480 for my CTD 2500. Sweet deal!

    Map light problem

    I replaced my dome and map light with LEDs. The map lights were a pain to get out but finally got them out and popped the LED in place. Now the driver's side map light is screwed up. When I push on it there's no resistance and it doesn't turn on. I pulled the cover off again and nothing...
