    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...

    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...

    Leaking Exhaust Manifolds on my 2018 Ram 5.7

    Three days ago I hear the same noises as on my 2012 Ram 5.7. I didn't hear the first one on my 2012 until 87,000 miles and the other started at 129,000. This really upsets me that the 2018 had to have them both worked on at only 57,000 miles. You would have thought FCA would have re-engineered...

    DRL’s?

    Other than AlphaODB is there any other way to set the fog lamps on my 2018 Ram as the DRL’s?

    Adding other LED's for DRL's

    I changed out my headlights (both high and low beam) and fogs with LED's but the headlight DRLs won't work due to the reduced power. It gives me a "Headlight Out" error. I have been running the headlights on anytime the truck is moving, however I would like to do something else. I bought a 3...

    Brackets for Mounting Lights in Tow Hook Location

    Some time ago I came across a post where a guy had fabricated some brackets to fit the mounting points where his tow hooks had originally been mounted. They were made from plate and had a 90 degree bracket with holes for mounting 6" lights. I have searched this and other forums but have yet to...

    Z Automotive Tazer Ram

    Has anyone ever heard of or used this controller to modify their 2018 Ram. I know the AlphaODB seems to be the favored device, but this one looks very interesting for making changes to my Ram without taking it to the dealer. https://zautomotive.com/product/tazer-ram/

    Saw something strange last night!!

    When I got home last night and turned off the truck in the dark I could see a green light flashing slowly between the steering column and a plastic cover next to it. I have never seen this before so is it something that supposed to be happening?

    My First Mechanical Problem With My 2018

    I’ve noticed that the last two days when I was starting my truck I was getting a front sensor needs service notification on my dash screen. Looked around but really didn’t see anything. Took it to the dealer and they found one of the sensors looked like it had been hit with a rock and was no...

    Has anyone Installed the MotoFab 2.5 in. Front Leveling Kit

    How well does it work as opposed to installing leveling shocks such as Billsteins? Are their any videos showing the installation? I would also guess since you are altering the configuration of the suspension an alignment would need to be done.

    BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tires

    Well Monday started off pretty lousy!! As I always do, before leaving the house to drive to work, I always walk around the truck to check everything out and when I got to the passenger side rear tire I noticed a bulge sticking out about 3/4" that ran across the sidewall from tread to wheel. I...

    Steering Wheel Radio Controls

    I love the Uconnect controls on the steering wheel especially the ones on the back, but the control on the back left only indexes numerically by the channels and not by presets. If I am on #1 preset and want to advance to #2 preset it doesn't work that way. I generally only listen to the Sirrus...

    Mopar 2" Lift Kit

    I have been looking around at different lift kits for my 2018 Ram. I came across the Mopar 2" Lift kit and am thinking about getting it and having the dealer install it so I can stay within the Lifetime Warranty requirements. Has anyone installed one of these and if so how do you like it?

    ALL TEAM BASH 2018

    I decided to go to the event even though the weather was crappy, beats sitting at home. There were cars and trucks of all shapes and sizes and the lot in back of the drag strip was almost full. I was hoping that the Texas Ram Club would be there to represent us, and there were quite a few that...

    Does Changing Exhaust System Affect Warranty Negatively?

    I searched the forum for any threads that addressed this subject but found none especially for the newer Rams still under warranty. I just purchased the lifetime warranty thru Mopar and I really want to change the exhaust system in my 2018. My concern is that if I take it in for warranty work...

    No Sound From Radio/XM or Phone

    I left at noon for my lunch break and when I started the truck I could get no sound whatsoever out of the 8.4 Uconnect. Volume bar would run up and down but nothing out of the speakers. Received a call but no sound, tried plugging into the Carplay and nothing. Called the dealer who had me do the...

    Repurpose Overhead Console Garage Door Buttons

    Having those buttons are great if you have a garage door to operate. I do not and they are just sitting there taking up space. I might add a LED light bar for offroad use and was wondering if they could be rewired or in some way connected and used rather than adding aftermarket switches? Has...

    Headlight Confusion

    Ok I've been reading all the posts for the different headlight options of my 2018 Ram and I truly have a headache. Let me first detail what I am looking for, and then elaborate on what I have seen and heard. Want: I usually leave for work before sunup and head home most days after sundown so I...

    Pin Striping My Ram

    Last month I bought my first WHITE vehicle, a 2018 Ram Lone Star Silver Edition. I have always been an owner of vehicles with color on them. I do not regret buying this WHITE Ram but would like to add a little something to offset the white as well as making it my own. I live about halfway...

    2018 Power Inverter

    In my recently purchased 2018 I have a 120v Power Inverter. Something I have never had before and I have some questions to those of you that have used yours. 1. Does it run off the battery or the alternator, and do I have to have the motor running when using it? 2. Can a standard 3/8” drill...

    2018 Lone Star Silver Edition

    I went to look at the 2019 Rams but did not find one in the color I wanted or with the equipment I wanted. I was about to leave the dealership when my Wife spotted one with a completely different grill than the others. She drug me down there to look at it and all I could say is WHITE?????. I had...
