Op just wanted to know the real truth on incentives. Mark Dodge will be truthful. You don't have to buy there. For most other stealerships, I'd barely trust one word they say. If someone wants to buy from Mark and lives far away, No problem. A carrier will bring it. I saved more than...

The only truth telling, straight shooting dealer I found anywhere was Anthony at Mark Dodge. He is a subject matter expert and will tell it straight. Among 4 other dealers I spoke to, they were all confused. Don't know if any try to pocket some rebates for themselves. Anthony will likely...

noticed that the tailgate led light sometimes comes on with the cargo light but not always. Anyone know if it's the same circuit?

There are many posts on this topic, but most apply to factory mopar lights and using a factory harnesses. There's no bed light prewiring in my 24 Laramie. Hoping, but don't know if wiring is same for all 5th gens with same trim level, esp those with tailgate lights, but no bed lights. Seems...

I agree with DEGs post. It's perfectly logical. I happen to have knowledge of several fatal auto accidents and in most every case the driver is sued and in most cases the manufacturer. It's always for millions. I've not touched the question of who wins those suits. I don't think it's asking...

Driver owns one 24 Ram. Not a dealer of anything. Just trying to help other fellow owners avoid the mistake described above by the Ram parts manager!

Rick made excellent points, except there's no roll of the dice in this case. We're talking about a $100 low tech mechanical, black painted part. Far from a $500,000 Lamborghini, etc. The reason there's no roll of the dice is if you buy on Amazon, you can inspect it, even install it, and...

Is there some rule which says the Chinese maker of the mopar steps can not sell the same item to 100 US parts companies without the mopar logo? The fact that an Amazon seller offers a Ram bed step for $100, does not prove or disprove it is the identical mopar part. It is possible that any...

Op here. It doesn't matter to me if unconnect v46 has caused this or something else. Just want to find the cause. It's just a little suspicious that uconnect v34 (my just updated version before v46) completely dropped my rear camera, some brake function and something else. I think the likely...

An intermittent BSM could be the worst of all worlds. A safety feature many rely on, but twice in the last few days, my BSM has failed to light up with another vehicle right at my quarter panel. Other times it works properly. No mods, electrical, electronic, or mirror. Vehicle is clean...

As mentioned, most of the units I've seen on ebay and Amazon are the identical part offered by Mopar, and that's been confirmed side by side comparison and by by Ram parts counter personnel . Anyone unsure can compare welds and paint on both, side by side. If your unit has extremely smooth...

Just bought one on ebay, and previously one on Amazon. They were both absolutely identical to the $435 mopar item

In most cases the mopar and aftermarket part are actually the same. The key to installation is that the mechanism must be clear of the tailpipe. If its clear your step should extend to roughly level and operate smoothly. When buying a step, Beware because the parts are different for pre and...

Just like Ready Go said, it just did the update. It was preceeded by an apparently failed attempt, but when successful it said so. No user input of any kind.

My 24 uconnect just updated from v34 to v46 on its own
