    Ceramic Coating

    I looked at Scott HD testing many dozens of ceramic coatings on YouTube and that is guy is deadly serious and really smart. He buys the coatings himself out of pocket and seems to not be influenced or bought by anyone. His testing is thorough and extensive with as many as 30 coatings tested...

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    Anybody know where to find the white wire with dark blue tracer? Is it under the rear floor?

    Aftermarket Led Bed Lights in 5th gen 1500, Where to Connect?

    Good idea to connect to tailgate leds so you won't need a switch. Don't know the wire color. No doubt thousands of 1500 owners would like to do this, esp if there is no factory prewiring.

    Apparant Defective Products Stampede Window Deflector by Real Truck

    Don't know if I already have 3m adhesive or not, so replacing adh. might or might not help. The real problem is the faulty design. Prior Stampede models mounted to the painted metal at top of doors. Some idiot designed these to mount to a fat rubber strip near the door top. Problem is, they...

    Apparant Defective Products Stampede Window Deflector by Real Truck

    The part that gets me is that the manager at Stampede flatly refuses to discuss an apparently defective product. Their policy is like "the customer is wrong." Who does that?

    Apparant Defective Products Stampede Window Deflector by Real Truck

    For $100 I bought the Stampede flimsy plastic fake chrome window wind deflectors. They "rock" or fit unevenly when placed on the flat rubber above the doors as per the directions. It misses fully flat adhesion by 3/32". In fact, if you fully depress the self sticking corners, they AUDIBLY POP...

    2016 1500 Radiator Petcock

    Shop foreman at a Ram dealer says it is likely sediment blocking the flow. He says mfg leaves some sand in the block casting and it collects in radiator bottom. We'll see if a small piece of wire, used carefully will clear it.

    2016 1500 Radiator Petcock

    To Wild One with the 3 Dodges... or others who know, Did you ever have to pull out on the plastic petcock? Some blogs mention turning out 90 or 180 degrees and then pulling out. Mine wont budge. (I realize this plastic part is a PIA and a waste of time, and the hose is the better way, but...

    2016 1500 Radiator Petcock

    It's not a 1/4 turn. This thing is course threaded and after several turns the petcock outer shell is backed off 1/4" away from the radiator. Still no flow.

    2016 1500 Radiator Petcock

    Backed out 1/4" it's a hard stop. Like it's going to break if you keep turning. All the videos show these draining just as soon as you begin to open the petcock.

    2016 1500 Radiator Petcock

    I've watched several videos and they all show unthreading the hex head plastic petcock a few turns and radiator coolant is supposed to flow out of a round tube just below the petcock. Tried a 10mm allen wrench. Same result. Petcock unthreads about 1/4" then stops. Don't want to break it...

    Mileage discrepancy.

    Everyone knows it's a federal crime to alter the mileage. Just don't know who did it. I'd demand a $5,000 refund, or tell them I'll be going to the dealer board or the authorities. Otherwise you are entitled to return the truck and get all your money back!

    Overhead Console Hanging Down on one Side

    Here is a sketch and a pic which I believe show the backup plate or bracket that the clips on the overhead console plug into. My problem is the dealer tech wallowed out my slots so one clip won't catch.

    Overhead Console Hanging Down on one Side

    Ok so based on what Sitkneebend said there must be 2 solutions if you currently have Led lights. You can use the everbrite ultra bright 9 or 12 led flat panels on Amazon and they come with the t10 socket adapter with small harness. Or likely use the Cutequeen led lamps which must be very low...

    Overhead Console Hanging Down on one Side

    For gwilburn, attached is a pic likely similar to the backside of my maplight console. This shows 4 brass mounting clips ( I didn't remember but 2 clips on mine,) but you'll get the idea. In my 1500, pulling straight down, it wallowed out the slots above that the clips grab, and so 1 side...

    Overhead Console Hanging Down on one Side

    If the dealer is correct, he is saying that you must have Led lights. Look through your clear map light lenses, and see if there's a bulb in there, or what you might barely make out as a small flat led. If it's led, you can buy the everbright leds on Amazon, 5 for $11, follow the you tube...

    Overhead Console Hanging Down on one Side

    Any thoughts if one clip is not engaging due to its slot being wallowed out?

    Overhead Console Hanging Down on one Side

    Replacing bad factory Leds in map lights, I had a great deal of trouble pulling my console down. One brass clip pulled through the plastic backing panel above. The other clip seems to have half pulled through and became somewhat distorted. Now one clip will seat and the other slot in the...

    Only one overhead light works

    If you converted to led, you probably added the t10 socket adapter. T10 After market adapters are poorly made and very flimsy and you have to make sure the pins go in straight. If you wiggle the wires you may find a loose contact. Otherwise you may need to reverse the polarity.

    Could Not Remove Overhead Console in '18 Tradesman

    I had a great deal of trouble pulling my console down, like others. One brass clip pulled through the plastic backing panel above. The other clip seems to have half pulled through and became somewhat distorted. Now one clip will seat and the other slot is now too big. The console sags on that...

    Long Story Short-Help Needed

    The tranny in my 2016 failed at 60k. Code that triggered the warranty was bad clutches. New trans paid by FCA. Factory will NOT authorize tranny warranty work without a code. Ask the dealer to share ALL the codes they have seen to date. Get a code reader or take it to a parts place who will...

    Inside Overhead Console lights Failing

    This video has the 194 removable bulb. My 2016 had the factory Led package originally, so no 194 removable bulbs. Anyone know how to replace factory Leds?

    Inside Overhead Console lights Failing

    I'm sure I have Leds in overhead console. Unlike several videos showing plug in regular 194 bulbs or some plug in 194 Led bulbs, I have neither. What's there is a small square flush led panel of maybe 10 tiny Leds, but nothing to plug in or unplug. Any videos for replacing this type?
