    2022 Laramie - replace tow hooks with lights

    Hey all, So on my last ram (2108 Laramie) I replaced the Tow Hooks with LED driving lights, and am thinking to do the same on my 22 Laramie. The lighting on these things is not real good, and I am not adding a bar. Does anyone know if there is a similar Mod for the 22? Cheers J

    Lack of 12v sockets.

    So I have had my 2022 Laramie for a few weeks now and went to put my fridge in the back and what do you know, no 12v socket in the back. In fact, there is only one in the entire truck and it’s on top of the dash. ‍♂️ Anyone got any tips in getting a 12v socket in the back? They have removed...

    Are the Headlights in MY22 Laramie upgradeable?

    Hello All, So like usual, the headlights on my new 22 Laramie 1500 are pretty crap. Even the high beam is not real bright. But having a look inside, they look like LEDs and I am now wondering if they are as good as it gets? :( I have noticed LED upgrade stores online don't have my truck...

    Light control that does not appear to work

    Hello All, So we have a new Laramie 22 model, and I have a dial under the steering wheel that does not appear to do anything. I can hear it making a sound that appears to come from the headlights, but nothing actually happens. Can't seem to find it in the manual either. Any ideas?

    Spark Plugs

    Hey all. So I have a 2018 5.7 Laramie down in Australia and I’ve just been quoted $120 each for new spark plugs plus labour, and apparently there are 16 of them. Is there any other comparable plugs? Seems a lot of money for spark plugs. Cheers J

    So I’m not having a good time. Took the truck to the dealer for its first service - went to the dealer as I had some minor warranty issues - got it back yesterday and all night the alarm is going off every half hour. I had to leave the truck unlocked so we could get some sleep. This...

    Something feels loose.

    So, my truck is about to go in for its first service 12,000KMs, and I am going to have to ask them to take a look at the front end. Something feels loose. Whenever I am on bumpy roads etc, I can feel this, what I can only describe as, something loose in the front etc. Not a vibration, but...

    This tailgate drives me nuts!

    So, As some of you know I have been working on getting the tailgate sealed up a bit, mainly to keep the dust out on dirt roads etc. All is well, except for the bottom of the tail gate. It's killing me. Because I have a spray on bed liner, it simply destroys ANY seal I try to stick along the...

    Grabbing Power from High Beam

    Hey all, So my LED pods have arrived, and I am looking to install. One thing down here is that the driving lights have to switch with the high beams, so I need to grab power from high beam. In previous installs we would grab this from the back of the head light, but wondering if there is...

    Coolant Operating Temps

    So, can I ask you guys to post your RAMs operating temps? My coolant temp is sitting up at around 97 degrees C on the hwy.(208F) My last truck would sit around the 87C mark - so this seems high. In the city it will clip 100C maybe to 101 or 102. Normal?
