    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    Real life shows that's not the case though. Thieves generally move on to an easier target, which is why the police dept here and in every major city in the country has gone back to recommending steering wheel locks as one level of deterrent. I don't know enough about making keys to comment on...

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    Cheapest deterrent is likely a faraday bag for your fob, and a club for your steering wheel. Use the faraday bag to prevent this: Radio attack on car for just $20 Use the club as an additional deterrent. Thieves are stealing them every night in this city, and often times they show up in...

    is etorque a true hybrid or is the state just taking advantage

    The only thing that matters is how the State defines "hybrid". The bill has already passed, and nobody is going back to change it. You got the worst of both worlds, the higher registration fee for the hybrid, and the low fuel efficiency of a regular gas burning truck. Welcome to the club.

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    I drove F150s for 20 years prior to owning the Ram. They always claimed they were the quietest truck on the road, but they left out that they are likely also the wettest. :) Everything leaked. The sunroof, the antenna, third brake light, rear window. The sunroof would leak so much water...

    Collecting water mystery

    I have a 2021 Rebel and that hood collects water in it like a fish tank. I can hear it rolling and sloshing every time I turn. There's a technical service bulletin that tells the dealership how to fix it, but my dealer didn't read it, so they just took the heat shied off the underside of the...

    Engine shutting down while driving

    I've not read all 11 pages of responses, but in case someone didn't post it: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCMN-23V265-2068.pdf " New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – 37A FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2021 Model Year (DT) Ram 1500 Pickup vehicles...

    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    I bought a 2021 Ram Rebel, 5.7 etorque new from the dealer. I'll go with the good stuff first. It's a great looking truck, it's got plenty of power, and in the 22,000 miles I've driven it, the drivetrain has never given me even a hint of trouble. It's a great driving vehicle, both in the...

    Low mileage '21

    It's all a crap shoot, and there's no amount of thinking/analysis you can do up front that will change how they built it at the factory. Once it leaves the factory, it's just gonna be what it's gonna be. I bought my 2021 new and it's given me nothing but problems. Water leaking into the cab...

    Screen died, then came back

    I've got the 12 inch screen in my 2021 Rebel. I turned the radio off the other day, and then it wouldn't come back on. The screen was black, and no data of any type would show. About an hour later I got in the truck to leave and is still wouldn't work. When I got to my destination I turned...

    lemon exchange question

    I'm in this exact position with regard to more than a month out of service. How big of a pain was the process?

    What's your experience with your local RAM dealer's service dept.

    Mine gets a 2 out of 10 rating. I've dealt with them a bunch since my truck has spent over a month in the shop since I bought it new.

    Washing the truck.

    Agree. I use that pole mounted sponge/mop and the entire truck goes so fast. I kick myself for not buying one years earlier.

    Washing the truck.

    Stand in the bed with one of those poles that has a sponge on the end. Two minutes and you're done.

    New truck question. Speaker noise when first open door normal?

    I've got a 2021 Rebel, and I've not heard that noise. I hear a bunch of other stuff, but not that one. :)

    I hope someone else's truck does this too...

    One of the quirks on my 2021 Rebel is that when I push the fan button to raise or lower the fan speed, in addition to changing the fan speed, it occasionally changes the song on my phone too. It's done this 6 or 7 times now. I have an Android phone, and I stream Spotify while driving. I'll be...
