    Will Chrysler buy us all new trucks when ours rust out?!

    I found this on another Ram forum. I work for a glass company that has been doing all the repair work for a few dealerships in the area. Most of the time it is the 3rd brake light but that is on all brands of trucks. They use a foam gasket and when it rains very hard it can't keep up and...

    Will Chrysler buy us all new trucks when ours rust out?!

    I have a 2019 ram 1500 bighorn. I took it to dealership last year for a wet stained headliner. They replaced the high mount brake light. Recently my son while riding in the back seat noticed that the headliner was wet. Took it to dealership and they stated that it is a cracked seal in the rear...

    Tires & Hitch for Towing

    Yes 660 is the factory spec. I adjusted the hitch for this trailer. The previous trailer was lighter and set lower.

    Tires & Hitch for Towing

    I just looked at the ProPride website. $3,000 for the ProPride hitch system. Yikes! Expensive. It looks like it would work very well but I'm not ready to spend 3 grand on a hitch system yet.

    Tires & Hitch for Towing

    The photo is a little misleading since our driveway is not level. The trailer actually is slightly lower in the front when on a level surface. the tongue weight is 660lbs. I notice the sway even when the trailer is empty, no water in tanks, no bikes. Truck tires were inflated to 44psi. The ball...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Everything installed and works great! Dealership only charged 1/2 hr labor. I had to leave the truck there overnight so that the slow software upload could be completed.

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Here are the parts that I bought from oempartsinc.com I installed everything myself and had the dealership update the VIN and add trailer brake option for 1/2hr labor. BTW I ordered an extra nut (clip) and screw just in case I dropped either item during the install. We went camping the following...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Ordered the brake control parts from OEM Parts Inc. Fed Ex delivery is scheduled for Sunday. My appointment to update the display software to fix the radio signal is Monday afternoon. Hopefully I can talk them into flashing the trailer brake control at the same time for free. Towing a 23' hybrid...

    Tailgate not opening

    Mine sticks too. The dealership tried adjusting it but it didn't help. I may ask them to look at it Monday afternoon when they are updating the display software to fix the radio signal issue. If I get my OEM parts for trailer brake controls Saturday I may ask them to flash the trailer brake...
