    Oil question

    Saw a post on using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum along with Lube Guard Bio Tech Engine Protection... I pretty sure the last oil change was a synthetic blend. I was thinking of going with the Pennzoil Ultra 5w-20 along with the Lube Guard... Any suggestions?

    Who else still plays with toy slotcars in the winter,lol.

    Used to run slots back in the day.... Didn't think there were any racers or tracks left. NJ shut down all the tracks a while ago. I guess most tracks are 1/24th. I lost all my gear when I went into the Navy back in 67. I have a collection of 1/32nd Fly Vipers that have never been raced, and...

    Chipmunks in engine bay

    Had the same problem in my 2019 RAM Big Horn.... Got a couple bags of Moth Balls and tied them to each side of firewall. Took them out when I needed to use the truck and put them back in when it was parked in my driveway... The nest I had was really big and laid on top of my engine, and they...

    Help New guy with bigger tires, lift/leveling kit, spacers, step side, etc.

    Nice truck.... I have a 2019 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab and am thinking of doing something similar. I'm looking at 33's, doing a leveling kit, and adding some throat to the exhaust. I understand that I can get 33's on my stock 20" wheels, and either doing Billstein 5100's on the front (possible...

    Vent Clip

    Was driving my 2019 RAM 1500 Bighorn the other day when a piece of plastic popped off the dash onto the front seat. After stopping and looking for it, I discovered that it was part of the vent clip on one of the ac/heater vents. Tried in vain to fix it, but could not get it to go back in...

    Side marker light blub replacement with LED's

    Thanks for the confirmation. I thought that the only way was to remove the wheel well, but wasn't sure. I replaced almost all my bulbs with LasFit LED's. The hardest one was the overhead map/interior lights. A real tense time taking that unit down without breaking any of the plastic clips...

    Side marker light blub replacement with LED's

    Any one out there replace the side marker lights with LED's? I've ordered some LasFit bulbs to replace the side marker lights, but can't find any videos or install info on how to replace them....

    Squirrel Nest in 2019 RAM 1500

    Has anyone out there suffered rodents getting into the engine compartment of your RAM. My neighbor rang my door bell today and told me that he had a problem with squirrels getting under his engine hood and doing damage to his wiring and hoses. He said that he saw a squirrel go under my RAM and...

    Post a Pic of Your Ram in its Spot

    I bought the Husky GEARBOX and it fits nicely under the rear seat... Only downside is the attachment strap that holds the box in place so it doesn't slide forward when you hit the brakes. Looks good, and has plenty of storage....

    5th Gen Tailgate Removal

    Anyone out there have occasion to remove the tailgate off a 5th Gen RAM 1500 BigHorn? I think I read somewhere that you have to be careful when attempting to remove the tailgate due to the assisted lift piston that is located inside the left taillight assembly. I want to remove it in order to...

    LED tailgate light bars

    That would be really helpful. I appreciate the input and look forward to seeing how you did it. I put the light bar I have on the bottom of my tailgate with tape just to see how it would look. Although it doesn't get hung up when the tailgate is open it really doesn't look right. I really...

    LED tailgate light bars

    I'm sure that this subject has been talked to death, but not having this problem with other trucks, I'm totally frustrated. After banging my head against the wall and taking into consideration all the good advice from other RAM owners, I have just about given up on this light bar. I spoke with...

    LED tailgate light bars

    I ordered the same Curt wiring harness. Just sent it back. On my truck (new body style 2019 RAM Big Horn), I couldn't figure out how to remove the plug on the rear of the tow wiring hookup on the rear of the bumper. The part also didn't list 2019 RAM on the package. Looked like it would be...

    Hard Time With Tail Gate Light Bar

    Waiting for the magnets to come and attempt to install the light bar I bought. Thinking about removing the tail gate in order to make it easier to install the light bar. I remember reading that on the 5th Gen you have to be careful removing the tail gate due to an "assist" mechcanism on the...

    Hard Time With Tail Gate Light Bar

    I ordered some magnets.... I am planning on giving that a try. I figure that on a 60" light bar, twelve magnets should do the trick. They might give me the ability to raise the light bar a little more in order to compensate for the uneveness of the area that the bar will be attached to. Also...

    Hard Time With Tail Gate Light Bar

    Thanks for the input on this. I was thinking that it was just me and there might be an easy solution to this. I've been trying different methods of attaching the light bar only to keep running into the same problems. It would seem that with the 5th Gen the only real solution would be to...

    Hard Time With Tail Gate Light Bar

    Recently purchased a 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn "new body style". Spent the first week adding necessary accessories to it (Tri-Fold hard bed cover, running boards, Rhino Lined the bed, mud flaps, under rear set storage box and new floor mats. I also purchased a light bar for the tail gate. That's...

    Cap less gas tank problems

    Thanks for the response, but I've had both locking fuel doors and caps on two of RAM's and one Tundra. It's not that I live in an area where I HAVE to worry about vandelism, but my past occupation has taught me that it's never a problem to be too careful. I have had locks in my fuel doors act...

    Cap less gas tank problems

    I'm a really security type of person. Just recently went back to Dodge and bought a 2019 RAM Big Horn 1500 Crew Cab. I've always had either a locking gas cap or locking fuel door on my trucks. Was kind of disappointed that there isn't a locking fuel door available for the new body style...

    Backup Light - Anyone tried this/comments?

    Right... My problem though is that a 60" light strip will not be able to go completely across behind the tailgate due to the large cable for the tailgate camera and locking wires. I agree that the flexible light bars would be easier to install if they were first attached to some form of metal...

    Backup Light - Anyone tried this/comments?

    I have a 2019 1500 BigHorn 5.7 and bought a light bar for it, but having trouble determining where to put it. The cover and cable for the tailgate camera and lock stops me from running the 60" light bar where it should go. I was thinking I might have to attach it directly to the bottom of the...
