    Should I change my trans fluid?

    I have a 2018 black express, 90k miles, had about half of those miles towing, driving on the beach or hauling crap in the bed. I don’t feel great about changing it myself with how crazy a process it is, any ideas how much a shop would charge to do it? Or should I just ride it out and hope it...

    Windshield replacement OEM or Aftermarket??

    I have big cracks in my windshield from some rock chips, no shot i’ll pass inspection. Safelite quoted me 900 for oem glass to be put in and 450 for aftermarket. Leaning aftermarket as I doubt the OEM is double the quality of the aftermarket, but if anyone could weigh in on the quality of these...

    Turn my ram into a jeep for a day

    This may sound ridiculous, but when the weather gets nice i like to drive on the beach, so i have an idea that i take my doors off my ram for a beach day. Is this possible to do despite the autopark safety feature if the doors are open?

    Noisy cold start

    33k miles, still under warranty for a few months. Cant hear it at idle now that its warmed up, that video was right after i started it up cold after sitting overnight, then i heard that odd clicking/ticking. Anyone heard anything similar before?

    This sound normal?

    Just changed my oil, about 50 miles shy of 30k. Im hearing a faint low rhythmic knock sound, as well as an intermittent squeal. I dont have my engine cover on so ik everything is going to sound a bit louder, just wondering if yall think this is cause for concern

    Serpentine belt unusual wear

    2018 Ram 1500, 5.7 hemi qc. 20,xxx miles. Serpentine belt seems to be showing an odd wavy pattern, as well as some unusual wear. Im no expert, but I don’t think a serpentine belt should look like that. Not to mention i have an intermittent squeak at idle

    Head unit issues

    Hopped in my truck, and the screen wouldnt turn on. I have the small uconnect screen that comes with the express model. I had to turn the truck off and on multiple times and wait like 5 minutes for it to come back. Just very annoying. How hard would it be to put the factory non-touch screen head...

    Good deal for high mileage truck?

    On one of my occasional browses through craigslist, i found somebody selling an 03 2500 with the Hemi for 6 grand. Truck looks very clean, im debating if its worth it to actually take a look at the thing.

    Good truck or not?

    Saw this ad on craigslist for an 03 2500 with the Hemi, guy says it has 190k, oil changes every 3k, looks like an honest truck, but im not sure how well they hold up. coming from a 4th gen owner I know that those hold up, how about early 3rd gens?

    Towing emergency

    Long story short, I have to find a trailer brake controller that I can put on my Ram 1500 in a couple of days. Any options? The install will need to be quick, I prefer not to be splicing wires, are there any plug and play options? And to what exactly would I plug into? I dont have trailer brake...

    Unlocked PCM advice

    What sort of issues with warranty can I expect if I remove the factory pcm and put on one I can tune myself? Also are there any preferred brands out there that I should be using? I haven't looked into it too much but I just don't like the idea of the only people able to work on my truck being...
