Wife's response to my confusion: "have you been checked for Alzheimers?" There is little doubt the truck would proximity unlock/wake up when I approached within 5ft or so, without touching anything. In fact, I didn't know about touching the door handle until it stopped unlocking on approach a...

For a several months after purchasing the 25 Rebel, the truck would unlock when I approached (with key FOB in pocket) the driver door (within 3-4ft) without touching the door handle. Recently, proximity/passive unlock only works when I grab the door handle. OM only mentions proximity/passive...

I would tend to agree, though I still use the trickle charger in case a module acquires a sleeping disorder. Don't drive that much, maybe couple times/wk, so easier in my case to use the charger.

Based on experience with 21 Rebel and now 25 Rebel, believe excess parasitic draw is much more common than believed. 21 had fluctuating parasitic draw, from spec (~30mA) to as high as 200mA. Killed 1 battery before I put truck on trickle charger. Dealer couldn't find cause. 25 has draw at...

To clarify, the caliper adapter bolts are TTY (torque to yield) bolts. The caliper slider bolts can be reused.

Amazon.com My post should have (edited to add) specified the trailer alerts pertain to 25-26MY. Pre-25MY don't have issues with trailer harness taps.

Removed the caliper slider on the front brakes and hung it nearby to paint, but left the rear attached. Didn't mess with brake lines. I have a delmonico red Rebel, so I thought the brighter red color would clash a bit. Got a delmonico red sample from G2USA, but it was too dark. So scanned their...

The cynic in me suspects many dealers will see a missing aux battery and refuse warranty service for an electrical issue. My experience, with a 21 Rebel and the current 25 Rebel, suggests a factor in electrical gremlin adventures with these complex networked vehicles is marginal battery...

Applying some G2 caliper paint. I assume the same torque as well, just wanted to verify.

Found specs for 2024 Ram 1500 shown below. Can anyone confirm these specs are same for 2025?

Based on my experience with 2021 Rebel (installed same reverse lights), no. I tapped the trailer harness with no issues.

Few weeks back installed a couple of auxiliary reverse lights in the inner rear bumper valances. Had the same problem many (edit: 25-26MY owners) have experienced when tying lights into the trailer harness, trailer alert lights on the dash. Decided to build a custom "tap" harness to bridge the...

Put the battery on a trickle charger at least overnight. Marginal battery condition is often a prime suspect.

Added supplemental backup lights. Used the Curt 58564 trailer adapter along with 5 pin flat male harness connector tied to both lights. Same lights I used on my 21 Rebel, however, for this install cut an opening in the bumper bezels to fit the lights (similar to what another forum member did)...
