    Heavy condensation inside on my windshield

    Yea, that’s where my condensation was, too. I hadn’t had any until I drove during a rain storm, then the next morning my windscreen was covered. FWIW, there is another TSB where there are welds in the front door which can deposit some water into the front of the cab too. Star case on that one...

    Heavy condensation inside on my windshield

    I just had my entire rear window replaced, along with the gasket around the 3rd brake light (all under warranty) due to leaking. If you don’t have a sunroof, which has the drains that can leak (as previously mentioned) it maybe that. Check the trim above the sliding rear window, I had a crack...

    Headlight bulbs

    Yup, for the time being (at least), I’m running Sylvania ZXE 9005 highs and Phillips Crystal Vision Ultra H11/lows. Very happy with them. Considering maybe going to LED at some point, but I’m happy enough with this setup that I’m in now hurry. I did go with LASFIT LED fogs, Switchback H11’s...

    4x4 in Snow and Mud

    Brother, since you're like 750 miles from me, you can put whatever tires you want on your vehicles and it wont bother me one bit. :D

    4x4 in Snow and Mud

    Not trying to dissuade you necessarily, just more of an FYI that wider tires are worse in the snow than narrower ones (opposite of mud - the idea being you want to stay on top of mud, but want to cut through snow down to the pavement/dirt underneath). 305’s will look good, but you’ll slide...

    4x4 in Snow and Mud

    Yeah, the Dueler tires you've got on there (I have the same ones) are not going to be great in mud. I like the Duelers a lot for the spring/summer/fall, as I can get pretty good mpg with them. 21-22mpg at 80mph with my 5.7 w/ eTorque 4x4, 3.92 gears. However, it only took me a trip or two in...

    Bridgestone Dueler H/L tire reviews

    I like them a lot, but only from April through November or so here in NH. I found them to be a big step backward in snow traction from my old truck tires (BFG KO2’s), so I immediately bought wheels and snow tires for the winter. Honestly, they probably would have been fine, but I ski and so I...

    Rim size, for winter tire.

    (Un?)fortunately, they are not misleading you. 17” wheels (and, in fact, a pretty decent number of 18” ones too) do not fit over the brakes on our trucks.

    2019 Problem & Fix Thread

    There’s a non-invasive hack out there for this which I found on another forum. The folks on that forum have determined the AC performance is not super great because there’s too much coolant flow through the heater core when using the AC, so the AC is trying, but it is being hindered by the warm...

    2019 Bed Steps

    I ordered this one for my 2019 non-classic. Part number 82215289ab. https://www.moparamerica.com/oem-parts/mopar-2019-ram-1500-dt-bed-step-kit-side-82215289ab Ordered 3/24, shipped 3/27. Installed perfectly, no fitment issues.

    Hard shifting\deceleration

    Yeah, it uses regenerative braking. Mine gears down pretty aggressively at times and that’s what I’d assumed it was. Here’s an article on it: https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/trucks/a23306626/ram-1500-etorque/

    Mopar Bedstep

    I just installed mine this weekend, and it went pretty well, took about 45 minutes, and I’m very happy with it. Some pics in this thread on a different board. It’s very well designed IMO. I had one on my Titan and this one is very tucked up, just a tiny tab stick out. Ordered from...

    What does the ambient light control do?

    I also have a Bighorn, and for me, the wheel dims a tiny light in the overhead light cluster between the map lights. It only works when the headlights are on, and it just shines down onto the console/cup holder area. It’s pretty noticeable IMO (but I live in the country), heard from some city...

    Center console armrest squeak

    Hit it a couple times today and it did actually fix it. Good stuff I guess?

    Center console armrest squeak

    Found this on another forum. Several people in the thread tried it and reported it fully fixed it.. YMMV Success posts: So maybe the solution is just to whoop on it? Or go to the dealer and wait for a replacement (a month+ some are saying). Haven’t tried it myself because I’m inside and my...

    soft roll up tonneau cover

    Yeah, I picked up the Pro X15 and while I’m happy with it, there is a little water that comes in around the tailgate. The gasket only covers the inside edge of the tailgate by like 1/4” or less, so there’s not a ton of coverage there. Maybe try to find a longer piece of gasket rubber in the...

    ECO?

    I also looked for this in the manual and found no mention of it, which was odd. My understanding is that ECO light = MDS mode = 4-cylinder mode for fuel efficiency. The light is off by default for the 2019’s, but there was another thread on that topic, I thought mine didn’t even have it til I...

    Center console armrest squeak

    I also have the squeak, and haven’t had my first service yet either. Here’s hoping someone has dug into it and found the source, since the dealerships are not eager to assist...

    2019 Rebel eTorque Mileage Question

    In my old truck (‘12 Nissan Titan) I straight-up lost two mpg when I switched from the OEM (trash) BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A’s to the chunkier BFG All-Terrain T/A. Awesome tire, but man I dropped from 16 or so 14 combined. So, since my ‘19 BigHorn was also rated for 22mpg highway, and your...

    Those with 2019 BigHorns, post them up.

    Seems like I’ve got similar taste to a few folks in this thread. :) Level 2 equipment package (heated steering wheel is a new one for me!), 3.92 axle, and black appearance package. Only thing I wish I’d got was the LED lights. Ahh well.. Mods/accessories thus far; Truxedo Pro X15 tonneau, bed...

    Bedrug

    Indeed it did, thanks. It’s sitting in the sun flattening out this morning. They recommend 67+ degrees to install the hook-and-loop tape to the bed, but I won’t see those temps again until May, so I’ll probably just go with a hairdryer or heat gun on low so I can install it before winter. :)

    Confirmation of fuel tank size

    I have the eTorque with the 23, but the 26 is an option. It’d be listed on your window sticker if you still have it.

    Bedrug

    How thick are these Bedrugs? And are they cut a little to fit the bed grooves? I’m trying to decide between a spray in liner or one of these. I don’t haul too much stuff around besides bikes and skis (and those are in a ski rack setup), I just need to keep stuff from sliding around back...

    Apparently you can't have 9-speaker stereo in 5-seat configuration

    Same here. 9-speaker Alpine system w/sub and 5 person seating; 2019 BigHorn with ‘equipment group 2’, iirc.
