    Need help deciding on Laramie Night edition.

    I have a '21 white Night Edition w/ORP (Laramie) and I'm very pleased with the look. Had to get black lugnuts and put some black plasti dip on the bolts for the Back Rack I installed, but I think the look is perfect. And in New England, not only does white not show the dirt too badly, it doesn't...

    How to Get the Best Price on Your New Ram

    Try this - worked for me. Send in an inquiry via email to a couple of dealers via their websites. I had one respond back with a $1000 off digital coupon which wasn't dealer specific. I ended up using it to purchase my Laramie and the dealer I purchased from happily accepted it. Can't hurt to try...

    Winter vs Summer Gasoline Blend

    always a couple mpg less here in the winter because of the fuel blend

    Poor gas mileage

    Hard to compare as C&D always beats on their test cars pretty hard, lol. Less detonation means the ECU can adjust timing - that can yield more power or more mileage. I'm just reading the mpg off the dash display when I reset at each fill up. Keep in mind that fuel additives can also greatly...

    Bed Step suggestions

    Just did this install yesterday on my 2021. You have to remove one harness attach point (plastic push-in fastener) and unplug the large connector. You do this by sliding the red tab on top backward, press the black tab in front of the red connector down, rotate the white locking mechanism...

    Poor gas mileage

    Just for the fun of it I filled up this last tank with 89 octane instead of 87. Mileage went from the usual 17.4 to 19.5. That would be a theoretical extra 54.6 miles per tank or 2.8 gallons saved. At 3.70/gal, that's $10.36 saved at an extra fill-up cost of $5.60 Hard to believe it could make...

    Sport Sticker Removal?

    As others said, easy to remove especially when they haven't been on there too long. And using a hair dryer rather than a heat gun is a good idea. Almost impossible to damage the paint with a hair dryer but you can get into trouble with a heat gun. But in my case I just peeled up a corner and...

    Detailed parts diagram for the 5th gen 1500?

    Thanks for all this info Jimmy. One more I'd ask your help with. On my PRBs one of the plugs on the board motor came with the shell crushed so I need to replace it. I think it's a Deutsch DT 4-pin but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Mopar appears to make a pigtail replacement (68225123AA) but wants...

    Poor gas mileage

    I'm averaging around 17.4 with the eTorque 5.7 which I consider not bad. Almost all back roads and leisurely driving.

    Detailed parts diagram for the 5th gen 1500?

    Just to post for anyone searching in the future. The power running board harness for the 2021 1500 Quad Cab is pn 68422689AC and in the PRB kit I purchased the same part number was on both pieces so I'm assuming it's only sold that way. The controller module is 68275941AE. About $200/$175...

    Throttle response

    Just did the calibration that Richard320 referenced. Delay when hitting the accelerator is gone and response is now what I'd consider normal.

    Power folding mirror calibration

    Mine also touch the glass on both side

    Poor performing heated mirrors???

    I've noticed the drivers side with auto dimming clears quite a bit slower than the passenger side. I assumed its the auto dimming feature.
