    Vibration issue in 2019 Big Horn

    Well, I wasn't able to replicate my instance of this last night or this am.... Everything is still working well, so I'm not going to worry about this unless it comes back and is consistent enough to actually troubleshoot. I don't know if what I had is the same as everyone here anyway. Like I...

    Vibration issue in 2019 Big Horn

    This started today on my '19 Rebel. I haven't used 4WD in a very long time but I will try to engage/disengage it. It almost sounds like my Charger when it goes into 4-cyl mode.

    Maxtrac upper control arms for 2019 rams

    They look nice, but kinda' pricey... I do like the bushing type over the ones that come on the ReadyLift variant. But you could by a few sets of those for one of these.

    Please Define "Well Qualified" Buyers

    720 and above will get you the best rates. This said, interest rates are rising and 3.4% is about as low as they will go at the moment. If you are seeing something lower, this usually means forfeiting rebates. When you do this you are essentially paying cash up front to offset the money the bank...

    Any downside to ordering the Ramboxes on a Rebel?

    I love the idea of the Rambox, but I found it to not be as practical in reality. Reaching over the side of these beds is tough enough and if you ever want to get something out of the bed and not get at it thought the back the Rambox makes this even more difficult. Our Rebel is used for...

    Navigation Volume Loud and will not stay turned down.

    With no responses I'm assuming no one else has this... I will make an appointment to have my U-connect reflashed to see if it helps.

    Navigation Volume Loud and will not stay turned down.

    I did a search on this and didn't see an exact same scenario but may have missed it... My navigation works perfect, but every time I start the truck it the lady yells at me... I turn her down and all is well until I start the truck again. I have checked default or start volume in settings and...

    35x12.5r22 Install! NO RUB

    How about at stuff and turn on the front? Street clearance and off-road clearance are often two seperate things. If you were to carry opposite corners of the truck (like crossing a ditch on a diagonal) while turning is there still clearance without rubbing?

    Standard Fuel Tank Size for Rebel

    I'm pretty sure I have a 23 gallon tank and I know I have the regular 5.7 (no E-Torque). My range unhooked (not towing) is ~380-415 miles. I have been averaging high 17s to low 20s for economy... We overland a bunch and often find ourselves very remote. Anything with a 400 mile range is usually...

    2019 rebel gas mileage with e-torque

    I'm not sure I understand these numbers.... While I totally agree that you need some time to see more stable figures. I have a regular 5.7 w/ 3.92 gears (Rebel) and I put a very mixed 1200 miles on it this weekend averaging 18.7 all around. This is actual measured economy. If I averaged the...

    Let's hear about the trouble free trucks

    We are just over a month in and are very happy. We haven't had an issue other than things my OCD have noticed. The factory alignment is crappy (or at least the steering wheel is not straight). I also noticed the bed is not bolted to the truck straight. The front of the bed is sitting 1/4" too...

    Seat air vents in Rebel

    The butt blower is really only needed with leather. The Rebel has a cloth center section that breaths very well. It stays cooler than out other vehicles that have had leather and venting.

    Factory Hood Wiring Grommet

    This is absolutely AMAZING news for me. Thanks for the share. A weekend I hope to accomplish this very weekend is to run the power cord for our ARB fridge/freezer. This will help greatly.

    Tires and difference in ride.

    Front and rear pressures should be different. My wife has the truck today so I can't check to verify the exact numbers, but our Rebel has a 10 pound difference front VS rear (rear lower).

    Starting to consoder noy buying a new Ram

    If you go looking for a problem on the interwebs you will find it.... people are drawn to negativity like a moth to a flame. At the end of the day all you have is your peace of mind, but I don't put much into the overall quality concerns for these trucks just yet. It's far too soon to tell.
