    Dead Battery Poll

    Okay, here's my update on post #363. I had a 10:15 appointment at my RAM dealer. I arrived at 10:00 AM. They checked me in and I took a seat in the waiting room. At 10:14 I saw a tech drive my truck to one of the stalls. At 11:00 AM they called my name and the truck was ready. They installed a...

    Dead Battery Poll

    Bought truck in April, 2021. Currently 28,300 miles. Battery has been sounding weak and this morning truck would not start. Started it with my handy little jump starter (worked great!). After that the check engine light has been on and I have no air conditioning. Called dealer. Scheduled an...

    BakFlip with Cargo Management System?

    Sorry it took so long for this reply. If I had it to do over I would get the "Revolver". It cost more but after seeing it on a friends truck and how simple it was to open and close I wished I had gotten that instead. Maybe this wouldn't be an issue for you, but, I'm 78 years old and lifting the...

    BakFlip with Cargo Management System?

    I have the BackFlip. I have a 2021 Limited with cargo rails. It works fine. But, If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't get the BackFlip.

    Real world mpg with hemi etorque

    I have very rarely seen it above 19. Mostly around low 18's. I don't use the stop start mode. Maybe it might increase if I did. 🤔 I'm getting those figures from what the dash display says. I have never actually pulled out a calculator and worked it out.

    Does the RAM 1500 have autostop?

    2021 Ram Limited. I just read this thread and decided to look up my window sticker. I have the following listed on my sticker: ParkSense® Front and Rear Park–Assist with Stop So, I 'assume" it will stop backing up and going forward. I have had it stop backing up but never going forward. I...

    '21 RAM 1500 eTorque Recall...."Good News"

    Well....disappointment has set in. My average MPG has fallen back down to around 18 MPG. It was nice to dream. My neighbor has a Ford with the EcoBoost V6. He says his average around town is 21 to 22.

    '21 RAM 1500 eTorque Recall...."Good News"

    Gee...I hope that's not what is really happening! o_O This morning I zeroed out the MPG and did city driving around town. Probably drove around 60 miles today. I took this photo when I pulled back in my driveway. If it changes back to 18-19 MPG in a couple of weeks I'll be disappointed. I'll...
