    Hey RAM Owners, If you tow with your Ram, you already know that constant thought in the back of your mind—are your trailer tires holding up back there? Without a proper monitoring system, you’re relying on guesswork or frequent stops just to be sure. That’s exactly why we’re excited to...

    Running Lights through 7-Pin Trailer Plug Not Working

    For some reason I have not been able to dive into yet, whenever I plug a trailer into my 7 pin connector on my 2019 3500, the night time running lights do not seem to be working. I have tried taking the lights out of auto, and nothing. Keep in mind the brake lights, blinkers, and trailer brakes...

    Upgrades capable of towing maximum

    OK so here is the thing. I bought my Ram 1500 Classic 6cyl 3.6 in May of last year not thinking I was going to haul anything ridiculous besides the occasional hauling or doing basic home upgrades needing drywall. Well things happened and we decided to get into food vending. We came across a...

    Superchips Flashpaq tune, and the Ram Tow/Haul button?

    I have a Superchips Flashpaq F5 and I really like the difference it made on my 2011 4.7. I'm currently using the 87 tune which is great, but it says not recommended for towing. That makes sense of course, but my question is what if I use the 87 tune, but also engage the Ram Tow/Haul button when...

    Question about 1500 Ecodiesel Max Towing / Rear Gear Ratio

    I am looking to purchase a 2021/2022 1500 Limited 4x4 with EcoDiesel truck. It seems the max towing cap is right around 9480 lbs with 3.92 gears according to RAM's website (see below). If I were to upgrade my gears to 4.10, or even 4.56 gears from Stage 3 Motorsports - how much would that bump...
