    What should I expect in MPG while towing my RV

    I towed a 25 foot camper with my 2017 Ram 1500 Sport (5.7L Hemi) across Canada last year from Eastern Ontario to British Columbia. I drove through hills, prairies, mountains - and averaged 23 L/100km (10.25mpg). Depending on terrain and speed I get anything from 20 to 30 L/100km (12 to 8 mpg)...

    another big brother feature

    Yes... It's because of this, and to avoid it happening again. I find with the knob I sometimes turn it in the opposite direction from reverse and find myself in drive when I expected to be in park. It isn't a common occurrence and usual happens when I'm distracted. The one time I remember...

    Whats biggest thing you've towed with your 1500?

    Just towed my 29ft travel trailer across Canada from Eastern Ontario to Vancouver Island with my 2017 1500 Sport. Trailer dry weight is 4900lbs and maxes out at 6900lbs, but it was probably closer to 6000 for the trip. Used WDH and sway control the entire time. Pulled fairly well through the...

    Air suspension

    Just put my truck into the dealer for air suspension problems exactly as described here when it gets very cold outside. They said the valve block needs to be replaced. With no bitter cold coming in the next 14 days I'm thinking I won't know if that resolves the issue fully until next winter.

    They said the valve block needs to be replaced. I guess I won't know if it fixes the issue totally until next winter...

    2014 Ram1500 - air suspension

    I feel your pain. My 2017 is in the shop today to look at the air suspension. Over the past few winters it has stopped working only in the coldest days (below -20C, -4F), but this year it doesn't seem to like any temperature much below freezing. Last week was brutal with the suspension not...

    Oem battery

    What year did Ram change the exhaust manifold setup?

    My 2017 Ram 1500 Sport had the manifold on one side fixed last week under extended warranty due to broken bolts. Only 76000km on it, and the dealership said that I will most likely be back for the other side in the next couple of years.

    Large item found inside flat tire

    The guy who rolled my tire away said he thought the TPMS sensor was broken and rolling around inside. He came out laughing about what he found inside, I think this was a first for him. It was definitely a first for me! I can't imagine how I would have felt pulling that Phillips bit out...

    Large item found inside flat tire

    I was driving through Montreal earlier this week in my truck and got a TPMS warning on the dash. I quickly pulled into a grocery store parking lot as the tire rapidly deflated and found a large hole that definitely could not be plugged, so I had to swap to the spare. The tire center replacing...

    How-To: Add USB Charger Outlet in Rear Doors

    Does anyone know where we can source the window switch plug and socket? I would like to make an adapter that you plug between the plug and switch that gives you the necessary 12V power without cutting and soldering the wires.

    How-To: Add USB Charger Outlet in Rear Doors

    Can this be done without removing the door panel? I guess it depends on how much extra length is available in the window switch wiring. Is there enough length to pull it up through the hole to solder on the new wires? The only other issue I foresee is screwing the plastic nut onto the usb plug...

    Rear wheel fell off while towing motorcycle trailer

    No idea what happened. I changed the brakes in May, re-torqued a few days later and then again the next month. My security camera doesn't show anyone messing with my wheels over the past few weeks. I got home Saturday and immediately checked my car wheels, and I expect I'll be extra watchful...

    Rear wheel fell off while towing motorcycle trailer

    Yes, I was very lucky! The dealership had to slide the axle out too; poor design in my opinion. New rotor, parking brake assembly, wheel studs, lug nuts, fluids, grease, sealant, and a few hours of labour to get it fixed. Most of the work had to be done in the dealership parking lot since they...

    Rear wheel fell off while towing motorcycle trailer

    Wow, that looks surprisingly similar to my situation. I have a 2017 1500 Sport that lost the driver side back wheel this past weekend. Felt a vibration in the truck that started earlier in the day but couldn't pinpoint the source. I headed home so I could check it out further and on the way I...
