    Rear Tail Lights

    Electrical troubleshooting is something very difficult to explain or describe. Lights, LED or incan? There's a lot of hardware going on with new light systems. Most likely a relay or a fuse. Check outputs on trailer connectors. If trailer circuit is dead, it's definitely fuse/relay. I cannot...

    Apparently Cooper doesn't like truthful reviews

    Regarding tires, anyone have a particular opinion of TireRack, and their customer's rating system? Seems to me, their least expensive tires get the highest reviews. Seems fishy to me. Could be frugal customers justifying their frugality, refusing to admit any mistake in going the cheapest route...

    No I do not want to race you in your truck

    It's literally a no-win situation, besides all the obvious problems. If you think it's going to be stop light to stop light, you would be wrong. Some idiot will take it to 150 just not to lose, and he might cut you off as well.

    Wiring mirror folding switch

    I would think that hundreds of repeated cycles will wear out motors and linkages. They are not the most robust mechanisms I've seen.

    Cold Air Intake recommendation

    I strongly feel most CAIs are a waste of money, and most actually hurt performance by throwing off the tune. I know that some look cool, and some sound cool. But the OEM induction is pretty much dialed in, and maxed out. A waste of money, I repeat, and sometimes big money. CAIs gained popularity...

    Drop-in Vs Spray-in

    I have not, will not have any spray in. Have my sixth (I think) pickup since '99. First came raw. Put a rubber mat. Dented the wheel tub when I carelessly tossed a fiberglass step ladder in. Had to look at that dent on the shiny new paint until I traded it. Next three or so trucks came with...

    Drop-in Vs Spray-in

    I've had six pick ups since '99. All had drop ins but one. I installed a $100 rubber floor mat for that one. Threw a fiberglass (plastic) step ladder in that one, and dented the brand new wheel arch. Had to look at that dent till I traded the truck. I swear by drop ins. Best is, they prevent...

    Hemi Tick - Jalopnik Article

    Since 2004, I've owned seven 5.7 Hemis in different forms. Some ticked more than others. There are several problems afloat. First is click bait. Considering the number of modern Hemis out there today, the fear of a design flaw in a popular and little understood motor is bound to draw widespread...

    Dial Shifter Made My Life Easier

    When my adult son first rode with me when I had the my '15 with the dial, he said the same thing about changing gears while adjusting radio. I said never happen. Now, for some reason in the '19, I do occasionally reach for the wrong knob. But, a knob really is the best way to shift an...

    How do I totally switch off, or on, DRL.

    Thank you all. I later figured out that the DRLs are really the headlights at lower power. That LED ring acts as the “parking lights”. I think if I could cut power to those LED lights without causing a trouble code. If a code does come up, maybe I could put an error canceling resistor...

    How do I totally switch off, or on, DRL.

    I have the LED lighting package on a Big Horn Sport. I has a LED ring around LED reflector headlights and brights. In light configurator, you can choose DRL, which lights up the headlights in a dim mode, or not. But, the ring around them is always lit with ignition on. I’d like to have the...

    Does anyone know how to light up the ram badge in the grill

    Few years ago, I saw a light up badge for the tailgate in a chain auto parts store. Not seen one since. I have never seen one for the grill.

    Noise Cancellation glitch.

    Cold start, fast idle, radio playing kinda loud, heard a strange drone for the first time in a one-week-old truck. Had no idea. Thought it was the new draw bar I just installed, vibrating in the hitch receiver. Then, the pitch and intensity changed with engine RPM, and I realized it was the...

    E Torque Reviews

    E-torque came with the truck. I wouldn't even know I have it. Shifts are as smooth as 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Gen Rams I've owned, and I would never had ordered it, considering the price. Start/Stop is another matter. I hate it. Goes against my instincts. I cannot imagine that shutting off the motor...
