    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Make sure they (or you) check your SHARK FIN Antenna to see if it is loose. If you saw my posts while I worked at the dealership, we had replaced my rear window, and my 3rd brake light (twice - even with the new version of the thicker deal) and while I had all the carpet out because I had to...

    Is this an interior light? What is this!? Front Map/Reading Light

    RED : MAP LIGHT BLUE : DOME LIGHT (Actually lights up both RED and BLUE) AMBER : Not a light at all, just chrome reflector - in my rig .. I have multiple LED Advanced, blah blah blah packages.

    Dealer code to remove factory electric side steps.

    Your local MOPAR Parts knows it. They can remove it from their PC (or add it if needed). Power Running Boards: (Mine are listed as ) MR7

    SOLVED 2019 1500 with Front Suspension Crunch Sound?

    I'm used to the RENEGADES going out every year (they are plastic - unless you are lucky for your parts dept to obtain metal ones). Not used to seeing 1500s doing this.

    Total engine replacement...Jesus take the wheel!

    Before I left the dealership last NOV, we started seeing a few broken valve springs as well causing total failure. It's when you catch it before total failure happens that is nice! .. They still borrow my borescope camera all the time (I still live a couple blocks away from the dealership).

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Actually - from my experience (and we posted photos to FCA to have the TSB changed as well) - the Antenna becomes loose and causes a MASSIVE leak such as yours. I replaced the rear 3rd brake seal, then the entire housing with the newer seal (2 separate TSBs), then the rear glass. While waiting 6...

    Exhaust Manifold Cracked

    Yeah they fixed the original fix (broken manifold bolts) so now the manifolds themselves crack in the middle :( Just put long-tubes on :P

    Let's see your decals and graphics

    But it doesn't look as nice as my painted-to-match :P I made sure all chrome was removed when I had the truck built online. My personal choice.

    window sticker says 33gal tank, but I think i have 26g?

    Yeah , I went through the same thing years ago when I got my truck in. Lifted the truck up at work (worked at a local Mopar dealer for a few years) and it was easy to see the tank was longer the standard tank. I wanted the larger tank (along with the Highway gears) because I had planned on...

    GMRS Antenna Cable Install

    I know this is old, but : 1 - how good of reception are you getting from running the antenna on the hood (instead of the roof) 2 - since I have the PANO-roof, the only place for me is next to the "sharkfin" antenna but I haven't tried it yet to see what kind of interference I'll get (my radio is...

    How to delete the active air dam?

    sorry, our long hours in this heat sucks and haven't had time to fully test. Mine doesn't have the Dam just the Grill and I thought it (mine) had the harness installed for the dam, but couldn't locate it. I haven't had another other vehicles in my bay to plug in a resistor to test.

    Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

    A cowl hood would allow air to be scooped up from the rear of the hood allowing more air into the system. Only so much comes in from the front being 'rammed' into it. Our Mopar style doesn't have a gasket like yours that would snug up against the hood when it is closed. That's what I miss about...

    Water stain... third brake light

    Yes, please scroll up to post #2 -- that has the photo for you The "additional gasket" isn't the same as the new "main gasket"- which retains/absorbs less water.
