    Well that sucks

    A couple of months ago, my battery died. I took it to a local shop, they told me my charging system is fine, and that they couldn't detect a draw. I bought an Odyssey battery, and it seemed fine, but I noticed yesterday it was a little labored starting. Then today... dead. WTF? I bought this...

    Battery is dying...

    I've used so many dry cell batteries that lasted for several years, I didn't think about how long my RAM battery would last. It's a 2017 1500 Sport, and the other day I noticed the starter was a bit labored. Yesterday, it started but it was the same... then I saw that the alternator was...

    Garage Clock

    Not sure if this is okay here or should be elsewhere. I bought a laser engraver a couple years ago, and started making clocks in my spare time. This is my latest... a RAM Emblem clock for the garage. It's about 11" in diameter.

    Ram Issues: Letter from Lawyers

    I bought my 2017 1500 Sport in late 2017, and so far it's been into the dealer five times for warranty issues. The differential was making noise, whatever they did, fixed it. The right door mirror was replaced because it was malfunctioning, as was the rear-view camera. I replaced a door opening...

    Now what?

    Get a new vehicle, they said. You need something reliable, they said. Five times for warranty repairs in 3 years, about to take it for the sixth time. Today, I pushed the unlock button on the keyfob and it unlocked only the driver's door. The door lock switch would not unlock the other doors at...

    Flapping Fender Liner

    Ever since I lifted my 2017 RAM 1500 (2WD) I noticed that my fender liner flaps at speed... never noticed it before. It seems loose, but there doesn't seem to be anything missing (like a clip or retainer). It's like the wind under the truck now is causing it to flap around, and it's definitely...

    5.7 Hemi No-Mess Oil Filter Change

    After the first time I made a mess changing the oil filter, I decided to come up with a better plan. It worked, but that was the 'prototype' and this time I finally decided to make a video and share with others. This is what I do, and it keeps me from having to wipe up a mess afterwards, so if...

    Got my lift kit, got an alignment, got problems

    Well, I got my MaxTrac lift kit installed, then went to get an alignment. Prior to the alignment, I had no issues with tires, alignment, or electronics. Immediately after the alignment, the truck pulled left, and the wheel is cocked right. The alignment shop was a joke, I went back and he just...

    Leaning towards a MaxTrac Suspension Lift

    I'm thinking about doing the lift, I keep hearing the Bilstein 5100 is *not* a way to level the truck, and I certainly don't want to do the spacers, as I know they're problematic. So my question is: Should I do the UCAs as well, or are they just added cost? Also, for those who have done the...

    Factory Fog Lamps

    Has anyone else had a problem with their fog lamps filling up with water after a hard rain? Really disappointing... destroyed my (expensive) LED bulb in the process. I tried to see if it was a warranty issue, they simply hemmed and hawed... "you'll have to bring it in and leave it for a day for...

    Made some changes, I like it much better now

    I bought the truck a year ago, and with the exception of LED lighting and some nerf bars, it's been left alone. A couple weeks ago, I found a decent deal on fairly new wheels tires, and bought them. The track was a little wider than stock, so I decided to add some Bushwacker flares and finished...

    2018 FCAGroup US Maps & Navigation...

    Okay, might be a silly question, but this is the first time dealing with maps and navigation systems. It's the end of 2018, I see FCA is waiving the shipping (wow, a whole $4) to get people to update before 12-31. But when does the 2019 version come out? Will there be any big difference...

    4x2 Flares: Let's see what you got!

    I'm getting ready to remove my 20-inch wheels for a set of 17-inch Method wheels with a more aggressive (non-street) tire. I have a 2017 Sport model. I've seen a few sets of flares on RAM trucks that I liked, and some I didn't. I was looking at a set of King Flares, reasonable price, I like the...

    Dang it's cold out in SoCal...

    ... well, not really. But my truck somehow thinks it is. Does this mean warranty time? First time I've seen this happen, it's really about 67º outside.

    Flashing light under the dash

    So I have noticed that sometimes there's a flashing light coming from under the dash on the driver's side, and occasionally it's solid-lit. I notice it both when I've shut the engine off and when I've gotten in the truck to drive at night. Can someone clue me in on what this flashing light is...

    Wrapping our shop truck - 2005 1500 Sport

    I began working as the Marketing Director for Champion Cooling Systems last year and have been keeping busy getting some ads created and finding other venues to get our products out there. It's a great job working for a great company, and I get to put together some cool artwork and...

    Battery Terminal Circuit Breaker Installation for Superwinch

    I'm installing a winch on my trailer, and power will come from the battery on my 2018 1500 Sport. I'm going to wire in a harness that will allow me to plug the winch into a connector below the rear bumper. The winch includes a circuit breaker to be mounted at the positive battery post. I...

    Hellwig Sway Bar Installation - huge difference!

    A few years back, I installed Hellwig sway bars on my '65 Plymouth Belvedere and it made the car handle incredibly well. It was flat in the turns, and I was catching Porsches, Mustangs, and even Corvettes in the turns. When I bought my 2017 RAM 1500 Sport, I was disappointed with the amount of...

    Ram Logo

    Personally, I never really liked the Ram logo/emblem. It rather looked more like a woman's reproductive system, but it is what it is. Then I saw this today... I thought that was rather unique! I'm not necessarily a clown or IT fan, but it is pretty cool and sinister looking.

    Decided to get a trailer for my track car.

    I had always driven my 1965 Plymouth to the track at Willow Springs to race. It was kinda cool to drive a car 2 hours, race 2 days, and then 2 hours home. But now that I have a full coilover suspension and a separate set of race wheels/tires, I really don't want to have to swap them out at the...

    See through doors...

    Saw this effect on another forum so I decided to play around with my truck a little. photoshopped some wheels to see how they'd look

    Should my key work in the ignition?

    I have a new 2017 1500 and the physical key inside the fob will unlock the door, but that key does not turn the ignition. Should it? Is there something I'm supposed to do to get the key to work like they did old-school?

    Added LED lights.

    Hey all... I know this may be covered elsewhere, but in case it isn't - here it is. I just bought a 2017 RAM 1500 Sport Crew Cab 2WD and wanted to replace the non-LED rear lighting which consists of: Reverse Lamps CHMSL Cargo Lights Qualifiers: This truck has the projector headlights, and LED...
