    IBS reset for battery change?

    I just replaced the battery on my 2019 1500 Classic (5 years old, been drained dead a few times due to trailer wiring issues, can’t seem to hold a charge , etc) Just recently read stuff about having to reset the IBS sensor when you do this. WTF?! What is this and how do you do it? My Uconnect...

    Truck driven with Washer fluid in coolant.

    So I just found out a friend who borrowed my truck last week had poured 1/2 gallon of washer fluid in my coolant reservoir, thinking it was the washer fluid tank. I did not find this out until I had already driven it 350 miles on a road trip this weekend. I’m taking it to be drained and...

    How many of you have a spare key on your vehicle?

    So I’ve recently run across several posts (here and other forums) about folks getting locked out of their vehicles. With today’s electronic keys, this can be particularly problematic. Seems a very easy way to NOT get into this situation would to have a spare key hidden somewhere on your...

    Anti skid disengaged in 4WD

    2019 1500 Classic. Now that winter is back, I’ve noticed the anti skid option is automatically disengaged when I put the truck in auto 4WD or lock 4WD. I have to manually reengage it every time I start the truck. Is this normal and if so why? I don’t remember this happening last year.

    Truck tow capacity vs bumper hitch rating

    I have a 2019 1500 Classic with the factory tow package with sway control, Class IV hitch, trailer brakes, wiring harness, in dash trailer controls, blah blah blah. According to any specs you look at (including the VIN decoder), the truck has a minimum 8000 lb tow capacity and 800 lb tongue...

    Normal operating temps?

    So here’s a shot of my typical temps once I’m up to normal operating mode in my 2019 1500 Classic with the 5.7 Hemi. My last Ram was a 2014 1500 with the V6. That one ran with the tranny at 190-195 Coolant in low 200’s, but oil normally at or below tranny temp. Of course those numbers all...

    Plow for 2019 1500 Classic?

    I am SO OVER this fu****ing snow. But short of winning the lottery so I can move to the tropics, Im stuck with it. I normally use my ATV to plow my driveway, but when it’s a wet, heavy snow or when the city socks me in with a 3 ft berm when they plow the street, my ATV is worthless. In those...

    I’ve got a 2019 1500 Classic Bighorn w/5.7 Hemi. I tow a bumper pull horse trailer about 3000 miles every year. Towing 1-2 times/week through the summer and fall. Don’t tow or haul anything of any significance the other 6 months out of the year. Looking at getting load leveling airbags...

    How to shift into neutral with a dead battery?

    so I left my key turned on in my truck overnight and battery was dead this morning. It was parked in the garage and my jumper cables wouldn't reach clear outside in order to get a jump. Normally I would put the truck in neutral and push it out of the garage, but no go since the shifter is...

    Gen 3 rims on a gen 4

    why wouldn’t a wheel from a Gen 3 1500 fit a gen 4 1500? Same lug pattern. same lug size. The only info I can’t seem to nail down is offset. Basically want to replace my 17” spare rim with a 20”. All the ones I can find are specified for 2002-2008 Rams, but I can’t figure out how they differ...

    20x8 spare rim available?

    I’m looking to replace the current 17” spare on my 2019 1500 Classic with a 20” spare. Long story short, I’ve got a brand new 20” hankook I don’t want going to waste and the 17” factory spares, although full size, have pitiful tread. When/if I get another flat Id like a superior spare tire to...

    2014 Bighorn grill design

    I’ve got a 2014 Ram 1500 Bighorn with the 3.6 V6 engine. I’m wondering if anyone else has had issues with this grill and the truck running hot. The grill looks like basic horizontal billets but it actually has a solid black plastic backing that has small oval holes in it. It seems to me that...

    Exceeding tow limit

    ive got a 2014 1500 SLT Big Horn with the V6 engine 3.21 gear ratio. Only has 37,000 miles. My tranny temp normally runs 190-195 not towing or hauling anything. Seems high to me, but maybe this is normal ? I plan to tow a two horse trailer that is 4820 pound fully loaded. This exceeds the...
