    Sold the '16 RAM 1500

    I had talked about this while back. Company I worked for was cutting out vehicle allowances and requiring you to drive company provided vehicles only for work. Can't say I'm happy with the arrangement but it is what it is. Bought the truck Jan 2018 with 9400 miles on it, currently has 82500...

    Manifold repair Thursday - under warranty

    Truck was bought 01/18 with 9400 miles, now has 72,800. Came with the 7yr/100,000 Powertrain Warranty. Getting to the point where the cold ticking is louder. I suspect broken manifold bolts on passenger side. Finally got chance to stop by the dealer to discuss, and yes, broken manifold bolts...

    Have to make a decision on my '16 to keep or not

    Title says it all. MY '16 Ram just turned 71,000. It is in great shape, only item needing repair has an exhaust tap at cold startup and I get a little belt squeal at cold startup when temps are low 20's or colder. Can't say the valvetrain is noisy, I made the switch to 5W-30 at about 60,000...

    Finally got around to service diffs and transfer case

    Truck was due for inspection (didn't need anything, truck has 68K on it, brakes and tires were done about 10,000 miles ago) needed tires rotated and had them service front and rear diffs and transfer case while it was in there. Gear oil and transfer case were OE, I bought the truck in Jan 18...

    What is Standard Audio System on a 2020-21 Laramie 1500

    Looking into trading in my '16 1500 Laramie on '20. Did a search, maybe not enough, couldn't find any info on the standard sound system. My '16 has the Alpine which I have been very happy with. Big Horn lists a 9 speaker amplified which I assume is the Alpine?

    Raced a Maxima today

    This is funny. 6:00 AM this morning, I'm on the way to the gym. Manage to catch the light making a right turn and beat the traffic. This particular stretch has a series of light about 1/2 mile apart. Here comes this late model Nissan Maxima flying by, come up on the next red light and jambs...

    Towed 6000# Yesterday - Observations

    I had to pick up a load of flooring yesterday (100 mile round trip). Original plan was to split the load between my 2900# gross utility trailer and truck bed. Plans changed, load grew to about 4000#, so we borrowed a tandem axle trailer, which was a better plan anyway cause the tandem has...

    1500 Anti Spin Rear

    Is this a locker or clutch pack type? Recently had my truck on stands with tires still on, each wheel spun easily like it was an open differential, too easily. I bought the truck used in '18, window sticker lists Anti Spin rear in optional equipment. If this is a clutch pack differential, then...

    1.5" Front / .75" Rear

    Been back and forth on this a lot and settled in on 1.5" front / .75" rear. Ordered the Maxtrac 1.5" front spacer and .75" Jeep coil spring seat RE1333 to install in the rear. Was very tempted to go higher but this is really all I want. Tires are stock size 275/60-20 Wildpeak on factory 20x9...

    Time for new shocks.

    Not too many discussions on shocks (other then the 200+ pages on Bilsteins in the lifted section). 4 years old and 58K, I swapped the rear shocks yesterday for Monroe Reflex. If you haven't done it, really easy, took more time to get the truck up on jackstands and get the tools out than to...

    Many different opinions om tires on this board, I went with Falken Wildpeak AT3, stock size 275-60/20. Huge change over the Goodyear SRA truck came with. Truck has 57K, I've been replacing these two at time, finally got to the point where bit the bullet and replaced all 4. I do 98%...

    How many miles before brake job

    Just had my '16 CC inspected, needed front brakes at 53,500. Rotors weren't scored but was getting little bit of pulsing, not much different to just replace the rotors compared to cutting them. Typically I do my own brakes, just didn't have the time so had the shop do it. Rears are down to...

    Back Up Camera Intermittently Not Working

    '16 Ram Laramie, only has 17,000 miles. Started about a month ago, back up camera would get fuzzy. Intermittently has come back on, then went completely out. Sometimes I get a green screen other times I get a fuzzy image like it's very out of focus. Did a search, didn't see this as a common...

    Driver window self adjusted.

    Bought 2016 1500 Laramie week ago with 9200 miles on it. Driver front window wasn't regulating correctly, wasn't going down all the way (about 1" from full travel) and sounded like it was over running travel at the top. Made an appointment to have it looked at, took into the service bay...
