    Exhaust Manifolds!!

    Well it finally happened to my 2018, but unlike my 2012, both exhaust manifolds had to be replaced at once. One was cracked and the other severely warped. Both had three broken bolts, but in different locations. Luckily all was covered by my extended warranty so all I had to pay was my...

    Halogen lights. Are they really that bad??

    I spend 75% of my driving time in the dark and on rural roads and always watching for hogs & deer. I never realized the difference between halogen and LED's until I was sitting next to a similar 2018 Ram, at night, and saw the difference in the dull yellowish lighting of mine next to his crisp...

    LED Headlight Bulbs Upgrade

    For the last 6 years I have used the SV.4 LED's from Headlight Revolution for all three (High, Low and Fogs) in my 2018 Lone Star Silver Edition Ram. They have been very dependable and put out a massive amount of light. They are easy to install and fit perfectly.

    Only Three Payments Left On My 2019 Ram 3500

    My 2018 Lone Star Silver Edition 1500 will be paid for in February of 2023, which is perfect timing as I am retiring in August. The truck is the only financed payment I have left. Everything else has been paid off in anticipation of retirement and keeping the costs of living to a minimum. My...

    Cabin Air Filter

    My 2018 LoneStar Silver Edition came with the CAF. I change it every 75K and it's usually pretty dirty.

    Break-in locked truck

    WOW. In my 2018Ram, I have the smart FOB and I use the Push Button Start pretty much daily to either heat or cool the trucks cab before I enter. The truck stays locked until I unlock it with the FOB and you cannot do anything (i.e. move the gear selector knob, etc.) until the FOB is put into the...

    What has been you're Ram experiences

    I had a 2012 that i traded in at 310K with a 5.7 Hemi that had both exhaust manifolds and broken bolts in the heads, replaced under warranty, which is all I ever had to do with it. I now have a 2018 with 121K and have had the Drivers Side exhaust manifold and bolts replaced, the starter motor...

    Avoiding the hemi tick?

    Where is this video you speak of. Prior to having my current 2018, which has 130K and has been idled quite a bit, I had a 2012 that was idled way more that is being reported here that should not be done. When I traded the 2012 in on the 2018 it had just over 300K on it and still ran very well...

    Seat Cover Cracking on my 2018 Driver Side Bucket

    The naugahide or whatever the material is, outer portion between the cloth center and the outer edge is cracking. I'm sure it's due to wear, as I drive the truck daily. Is there some sort of repair product to glue the cracks so they will not get any worse? I remember many years ago a product...

    Very upset with FCA/Dealership over my outside mirror assembly.

    About a month ago a buzzards flew up out of a bar ditch and struck my passenger side mirror, folding it back so hard it sounded like a gun going off. It completely destroyed the lens of the puddle lamp/mirror turn signal. Other than that there was no other damage. I went to my local dealer and...

    Manifold bolts and more “permanent” fix?!

    On my 2012 both sides had broken bolts/studs twice (78k & 170k). Second time both manifolds were replaced. Both were still working fine when I sold it at 284k. My 2018 had both sides leaking at 48k. One side bolts/studs other side bolts/studs and manifold broken in two places. I’m at 74k so far...

    Battery suggestions....

    I wish I had the option to try the AGM. Battery in my 2018 has been dead since last Sunday. With our lack of electricity and water due to the bad weather in this part of Texas no auto supply stores were open. I called 6 different stores in 5 different towns and the last was a NAPA auto parts...

    Are the Current Hemi motors still eating Cams and Lifters?

    My 2009 RAM had almost 300K on the odometer and never had a cam/lifter problem. My 2012 RAM had over 270K when I traded it in on my 2018 and never had any cam/lifter problems and that truck was idled as much as most police cars. My 2018 RAM has just over 61K and like the other two, only had the...

    Why are manufacturers still putting chrome on trucks?

    I'm on my third RAM. The first two had color matched bumpers and I though they were OK but I have always liked chrome. I really like it against the bright white of my 2018 Lone Star Silver Edition. I've had many compliments and though I never thought I would own a white vehicle of any kind, the...

    What LED’s are you running for high/low beams

    I have Headlight Revolution's Supernova's in my High/Low/Fog's in my 2018 and could not be happier. No problems since they all come with the canabus needed for conversion. No flashing from oncoming cars in 2 years. I highly recommend them.

    New guy, 'new' truck.

    I replaced mine with the Carven Progressive. Its the only muffler system i've ever had that was a direct replacement without any modifications and I love that. I love the sound at idle and I especially love the roar when I get into it. I have had multiple compliments on the sound.

    Did I install LED Bulbs Wrong

    rick_ca, One thing you need to look at is how your LEDs' are clocked (Positioned). I have the Headlight Revolution Supernova V.4's in my 2018 Ram. When I first installed them, they were clocked to where the 2 LED modules were facing at 12 and 6 o'clock and the beam looked like crap. After...

    Hikari Ultra LED

    Like nasnurse, I purchase Supernova v.4's from Headlight Revolution. They were clocked perfectly, from the factory to replace the halogens for my quads in my 2018 Ram. I had one of them go out after about 16 months and had a replacement free from them in a few days. I have them in my low, high...

    Good example of why I prefer more truck than a half ton

    Yesterday (Labor Day) took the wife for a 3 hour drive through the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The backroads are narrow, with step grades and multiple winding curves with step cliffs bordering some. I was keeping my Ram at no faster than 55 and had a guy, with his family in a rig almost...

    Paid off !

    Before buying my 2018 Ram I had a 2012 Ram and paid it off a year before I sold it. That is a wonderful feeling. I wish I would only have a few thousand miles on my 2018 when I get it paid for, but I am already at 51,000 in two years. When I sold my 2012 it had over 300K on it but still looked...

    Silverado wheels on a Ram?

    I have always wondered why 1500 Ram's before 2020 only had 5 lugs instead of 6 like the other manufacturers. Even my 2018 Lone Star 4X4 1500 has only 5 lugs especially with the big wheels and tires.
