Now that I'm well into the golden years, I've discovered DIY replacing standard Group 26/27 batteries (~30/50lbs) is a lower back wakeup call. Even worse Odyssey Group 27 batteries (we use in our older mopars) weigh nearly 70lbs. There's all manner of lifting tools which don't really reduce...

Carry H3R Halguard extinguishers in our 2 older mopars, so decided to put one in the Rebel. The H3R in the Roadrunner was used once to put out fire caused by gas line leak onto intake manifold. The 440-6 engine has 3 carbs and multiple gas line connections. The Halguard contains a...

Has anyone with a 2019-25 installed the 2026 air inlet bezel?

I'm on my second 5th gen DT. The first, 2021 Rebel, was plagued by intermittent electrical gremlins. They would come/go randomly, no apparent pattern. On a hunch, did a current draw at rest test and discovered a parasitic drain, fluctuating around 80ma. Precise parasitic specs vary, but best...

I got used to the 33 in my previous 2021, with the diesel, a range of over 800mi. Average about 19mpg with the SO, so an extra 140mi with the 33, another 2hrs of driving. It's obviously physically doable given that 2025s have the 33. As you note, new tank, strap, some fuel lines, and 33 skid...

Has anyone done this swap on a 2025 1500? Dealer claims they can't do it.

Drove a 25 Rebel with tow mirrors while shopping for current truck. Didn't like them at all. For me, huge blind spot. I do tow (car carrier) occasionally, but the blind spot wasn't worth the larger, extendable tow mirrors.

Added a bit of accent to my door panels

Has anyone replaced their 2025 steering wheel with a customized carbon fiber wheel like these guys sell, advertised for 2019-2025?... 2019-2025+ Ram 1500 2500 HD Custom Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Removed my RebelX steering wheel to track down an electrical gremlin. Noticed the 2025 center...

Good option to stay in the warranty zone. Red Line HP and Amsoil SS are generally considered better in viscosity and shearing resistance, meet the API-SP and MS-6395 requirements, however, neither has the API starburst trademark - required per the owners manual for SO/HO.

I've just completed a nearly 3 month taffypull with Ram customer service. An electronic shifter module that failed and prevented the truck from shifting out of park. There are probably a dozen, maybe two, variations of this module. Mine was on back order with no ETA. The dealer was...

Newest member of the family

Attempted to install pre-2025 version of AR Powersteps with 2025 electronic parts, harness, controller, OBD plug. Could not get it to work. Installed 2025 version (76364-01A) on my RebelX. As others, steps ran backwards. Reversed the 2 motor connector lines and steps work perfect.

Recent adventure with 21 Rebel under extended warranty. You basically have to annoy Ram customer support, until they advance you to the next level. In my case it was 2 levels, non-native English speakers, likely offshore contractors. Hard to understand, so did most comms on email. Level 2...
