    Remote start/reset/battery?

    That what it was. Replaced with a Diehard Platinum AGM 850cca - fired right up.

    Remote start/reset/battery?

    ...and my CAT charger won't start it either....

    Remote start/reset/battery?

    Thanks, guys. No check engine light, re-checked all doors closed and locked, plenty of gas, remote start failed to get it going at all, and tried my other key fob. A new battery is a bit of a bite, but inevitable sooner or later.

    Remote start/reset/battery?

    This was weird. 2017 BH 5.7 The other night, very cold, I tried to remote start the truck to warm it up before going to the gym. Honked twice, but didn't start. Fine, I went out to it, the display said Remote Start disabled, start vehicle to reset.. I put the key in it, tried to start it, and...

    2017 dead battery

    Late to this thread...but 2017 here, two nights of pretty substantial cold, battery dead. (Not dead enough not to start the defrost or power doors, though.) I don't drive it much, maybe 100 miles/week or less (I work from home), but this sucks. Supposed to be warmer tomorrow. I have a CAT...

    Recommendations for tube nerfs and wheel flares?

    Thanks for everyone's input, we went with Westin Pro Traxx, 5", wheel to wheel. Like 'em. :)

    Recommendations for tube nerfs and wheel flares?

    Hi fellow RAMers - we want to put some tube nerfs on our 2017 1500 Quad BH, and maybe black wheel fender flares. The MOPAR parts seem pretty pricey to me (~$1000 for four flares ???) - any better choices you guys can recommend? Thx in advance.

    Warranty options on a 2017 BH ?

    So, we've crossed the 3 year line on our 2017 1500 BH. The truck has been essentially trouble free, except for a kind of lazy rear defrost on the driver's side. I like the truck, although for some reason I felt a little stronger bond with the 2007 TRX 1500 I traded for this. My dealer promised...

    Paid off !

    I'd love to slay my mortgage...but as I said, I'm out of work at the moment. How soon, or whether, I get back into the working world....that's the big question. My dealership is extending my warranty for a year - after that, we'll see where we're at.

    Paid off !

    :DNot much of a dancer, but maybe I'll drain a cold one or two when the title shows up. Oddly, though, I feel like I'm driving it a little more aggressively than before. I'm usually a pretty mellow driver, but lately I've been stomping the pedal a bit. Also not much of a mod guy, but I'd...

    Paid off !

    Thanks. The pop-up is a 2017 Flagstaff 201STSE, a little extra ground clearance and some diamond plate around the body. 2200# empty, ~3100# loaded...two batteries, two propane tanks, and we use an E2 anti-sway/WDS hitch. Stove, fridge, stereo, water heater, inside toilet, propane grill (which we...

    Paid off !

    They can call it anything they want. I'd like to think that rivers and forests and wilderness areas are indifferent to political or sociological sensitivities.

    Paid off !

    We took a lease on our 2017 Ram 1500 BH at the beginning of October 2017. At the time, the salesman told us that the rebates were higher on leases than purchases (Jedi mind trick?)....anyway, we went with it, the payments were <$190/month, so I saved a pile out of every paycheck since then. I...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I lost my job of 24 years, so two days later we went out camping. Had a beer or 12....

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Nice !!! We have one more lease payment on our '17 1500 BH, and have the cash saved to buy it out. I've love to upgrade to a 2500...but I lost my job, so ain't happenin'.

    Would you buy another Hemi - Poll?

    I got 125K out of my '07, no issues, and my '17 (which has a whopping 22k on it) has been smooth sailing. Only reason I wouldn't would be cost, as I'm nearing retirement. But we have a pop-up camper and I do alot of whitewater rafting, so I can't imagine life without a truck, and I'm pretty...

    Scary time to buy, but I just might do it

    We've got an E2 also. We like the campgrounds in Williams Fork. We do a lot of rafting on the Upper Colorado, so it's close and these campgrounds are usually fairly empty. Lots of beetlekill, so a little less scenic. Sounds like you're hauling some serious hardware. For us, it's a smallish...

    Scary time to buy, but I just might do it

    I'm right up the highway from you, Ernie. 3.21 gears also, my pop-up is about 3000lbs loaded and we probably camp at some of the same places. I can pass easily on Georgetown Hill and Ike westbound (a tad slower eastbound). Even some of the long climbs on I70 west of Green River, over The...

    Scary time to buy, but I just might do it

    Congrats, and personally, I appreciate your ..courage? faith??....in making a purchase like this in these times. (Me, I've been agonizing over buying a new guitar....a mere $650....) Doesn't look like it has the tow package, does it? If you're considering towing anything of substance in the...

    I had an affair with the (GM) twins...we need a new Dakota ASAP

    I had a '97 and an '05 Dak - I really liked the '97, except I bought it used and the guy who had it before beat the crap out of the front end, and I had alignment/ball joint issues for the entire time I had it (100k miles). I thought the '05 was capable enough, but the interior design was...

    How many miles on your 4th Gen Ram

    Not much help here: 2017 BH, purchased 10/1/2017. 28 months ago. 24,000 miles. Should be paid off with some warranty left. No issues, except a semi-dysfunctional rear window defroster, which the dealer says we damaged ourselves. Guess I need to get out more.

    Rear defrost issue

    Thanks, man, I'll check this out. No, it's not every line, just a few of them. I think the OP in this thread lost everything on his passenger side, which I suspect is a different problem from mine. When I picked the truck up this evening, the service writer gave me an estimate for a new rear...

    Rear defrost issue

    Well....they're saying my elements got scraped, so the rear window replacement isn't covered under warranty....which is kind of what I thought they'd say, even though I didn't see any evidence that I scraped it at any time. I don't think it's worth fighting over - it only affects about half the...
