    Diesel led lights

    Has anyone tried this brand of led's for their reverse lights? They claim to be one of the brightest on the market that are plug and play, but I'm wondering in the real world, are they any better than what I can find in the local auto parts store...

    Heated side view mirrors?

    the side view mirrors on my 2018 big horn, have the little insignia on it that shows wavy lines creeping up into a little square. I'm assuming that is indicating that they are heated mirrors. But I can't find a darn switch for it. do they just come on automatically with the defrosters? I...

    So, which lights can be swapped with leds, without getting warning?

    I see a lot of threads about specific lights, such as "head lights", "tail lights". But I'm wondering what lights can be swapped as just plug and play, without having to have some sort of extra load resistors? Can the cargo lights be swapped to leds, or will I get warnings of burnt out...

    8.4 uconnect using thumb drive for music

    When I copy music onto a thumb drive, the music appears to play in just random order. For instance, if I copy album A and album B on the same thumb drive, the songs are nicely separated by album and artist when on the computer. But, when putting it in the truck to play, all the songs are...

    when switching to "recirculate" instead of outside air

    Every auto I've owned in the past, has had a slightly different sound to the air conditioning fan when switching from "outside air" to "recirculate". When changing to "recirculate", the fan usually sounds like it's blowing a little harder. But on my ram, there's no difference at all from one...

    Dang squeaky door hinge

    This should be something I should be able to figure out, but no luck so far. My drivers side door develops a bad squeak when opening and closing it. I've tried spraying white lithium grease from an aerosol can on it. It's works for about 5-7 days, then the squeak comes back. Had someone...

    Could this be why 5.7 hemis are seeing cam and lifter problems?

    Not sure if this has ever been posted, and all this is a bit over my head, so I'm putting this here for information purposes. Take it as you will.

    Does anyone make a protector for this area?

    Not sure what to call this, the door sill? This is the edge of the truck under the drivers side door. See the black scuffs there? That's where peoples shoes scrape getting in and out of the truck. Does anyone make a stick on protection piece for this area?

    Floor mats and seat covers

    Got a 2018 ram, quad cab, with full console. I'm looking for good heavy duty floor mats for it, that will withstand the Wisconsin weather, and the fact that I run a machine shop, so I have dirty work boots entering the truck now and then. Also looking for decent seat covers that will...

    8.4, navigation with android smart phone?

    I bought a 2018 Ram bighorn recently, and cannot find a way to have google maps navigation, running in the background, but have it interrupt the music/radio when ever it has an instruction to turn at blah blah intersection. I can run it directly through blue tooth, but then it plays only the...

    Where's your temp gauge running on the V6?

    I'm wondering if I don't have a thermostat that's stuck open on my 2018 truck? It warms up fairly decent, but the heat doesn't really blast you out of the truck like my Dakota did. And the temps around here have been around 40 degrees F. I'm worried that it won't be enough when the middle...

    Scary time to buy, but I just might do it

    After asking about a zillion questions here, and pondering for what seems ages, I think I might be picking up this beauty on Friday. All approved and the deal is settled, all I have to do is sign papers .

    I"m curious what people think of this deal

    Is this something worth looking into, or should I just let this pass. I love everything about it, except the high mileage. May not be high for it's age, but don't know if the price is justified with this type of mileage? Take a look what's your first impressions on this...

    Can the vin # give me what gear ratio the axles are?

    When shopping for a Ram on car dealer lots, can I look up the Vin online, and find out what the ratios are on the rear axles? I've been looking at a few, but the web sites are not listing the ratios on these trucks. Is there a certain web site that's better than others for checking the Vin number?

    Is this the transfer case type that you don't want?

    Saw a thread a while back, and cannot find it now on the transfer cases that had a crappy 4wd feature. I believe if it has a 4WD Auto button, then you know it's the crappier transfer case. Is this the button they're talking about? And if it is, would this at least be an ok 4wd for the...

    Ram owners with 3.6 V6

    Anyone who owns the Ram with a V6 Pentastar. Are any of you hearing of, or having a problem with an oil filter housing adapter cracking, and then leaking oil? I'm starting to hear rumblings about this being a common problem because they are plastic. The heat of the engine starts to degrade...

    Wondering about the front ends of the 1500's

    I currently have a Dodge Dakota. It's a 2008 with 216000 miles on it. One thing I've noticed through out its life, was that it seemed to often have front end problems. I've replaced wheel bearings about 3 times on it, ball joints 3 or more times, bushings, tie rods, and recently, both sway...

    Should I stay away from Hemi because if breaking manifold bolts?

    Apparently, Hemi's are well known ( at least in the Rams) for breaking exhaust manifold bolt over time. I understand it's due to different metal expansion rates, but Chrysler/Fiat is not doing anything about it unless your vehicle is still under warranty. Once warranty is out, you're on your...

    Gearing available for Pentastar V6

    Hello, I'm getting ready to start searching for a slightly used Ram. I can't decide between the Hemi or the pentastar. I don't need the Hemi, I won't be doing any towing with this truck. But I'd love the Hemi for obvious reasons. My worry about the V6 is I want the truck to be able to get...
