    Lack of grease - Slip joint/yoke

    I posted this back in 12/2021 and wondering if anything new has surfaced on this issue. They dropped the drive shaft and greased the slip joint and the truck operated normally for a few months and this issue has started again. I hate to think that this is the norm. Here is my original post: I...

    Carrier bearing/Drive shaft

    I purchased a new 2021 Ram/Big Horn 5.7 Hemi V8 crew cab back in 01/2021. Started having an issue a couple of months after taking possession where when coming to a stop light and when proceeding forward, the truck would jerk slightly, like the brakes were locked and releasing. Took the truck in...

    Spare Tire

    I just purchased a 2021 Ram 1500 crew cab and noticed the tires on the truck are 275/65R18 and the spare (imprinted temporary use only) is 245/70R18. At first glance, I thought the spare was used, as the tread is shallow, but as I look more closely, it appears that's the spare they come with...

    Wax or Polish new Ram 1500 for first time

    I appreciate everyone's responses. Good information. I grew up in the old days when you had to let the paint cure before waxing. I did a couple of google searches and read that in today's world, the manufacturers now heat treat or bake the paint so it cures but wanted to make sure. Thanks for...

    I recently purchase a Ram 1500 Crew cab and looking for information regarding waxing/polishing a new truck. Does anyone have useful and authentic information? I have looked for this information in the Manual, but no luck so far.
