    Part number for trim clip?

    Yeah, I think that’s it. I found this on the ground and it looks like a broken version of that part number. Thank you!

    Part number for trim clip?

    I just noticed that I have a loose piece of trim on the right rear quarter of my 2019 1500 Laramie. Does anyone know what the little clip part number is to hold this back in place? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear window leak

    RTV is a little over 1 year old now. Pacific NW so lots of rain. No issues. Under $20 saves the day (and the truck). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Always-on upper glove box light?

    Hi there, My wife noticed on a road trip over Christmas that the light in the upper glove box is always on. Doesn’t matter if the lid is open, etc. it’s always on. 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. Is this a common issue? I drive often enough to not worry about battery drain, but that light needs to...

    Rear window leak

    10 months in, from 118 degrees F to -20 degrees F. I live in the Pacific NW where it rains 300 days per year. No leaks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear window leak

    Here’s the thing: Permatex is cheap, it’s fast, and it works. End stop. I’m not paid to say that…get whatever brand you like and do whatever you want. I found something that’s been working for me through all four seasons over the past 10+ months and thought I’d share. If you’re worried about...

    What was today’s update?

    My 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with 8.4” and Harman Kardon just did an update today. I wasn’t able to see what got updated. Does anyone know, or know how to find out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    At least stop the leak with a tube of Permatex. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Update on my Permatex solution: My truck just spent one week at -25 C and two weeks in driving rain (40+ mph winds). NO LEAKS. Seriously, don’t bother with RAM trying to fix it. Get out the caulk gun and do it yourself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    My CPO didn’t cover it here in Oregon. Might want to get a tube of caulk for the interim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Winter Traction

    No, mine's 4WD as well. 2019 1500. Huh...this is going to sound dumb I think, but it never occurred to me that Ram would have designed the truck to have plenty of grip without additional weight in the back.

    Winter Traction

    Hey friends, What do you add to your truck bed for traction in the winter? I used to use sand bags. That’s still an option as they are provided free by the county. But I also have two 50-gallon plastic barrels that I cut down to about 15” tall and fill with sand. Those barrels used to fit...

    Buy a tube of that RTV and get caulking, that’s what. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    This… I went in over the top of the glass. Feel free to try it whatever way makes sense for you…I made it up as if went along. I didn’t go down the sides but just rounded the corners. The leak was from the center of the window where the slider is, at least on mine, so I didn’t need to go...

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    Okay, here are several pics. I hope it’s clear that some areas of the back window have deeper gaps than others. I got pretty smooth seams in places and wish I’d pumped more into others so it looked cleaner. But overall, it’s working and nobody’s going to notice. Sent from my iPhone...
