I go to dark sites to set up my equipment for astrophotography. It takes a while for eyes to become dark adapted and it's really frustrating to open a truck door and a bunch of lights come on. Is there any way to have a complete dark mode so that no lights, interior or exterior, come on when a...

The seven pin connector in the back bumper of my 2021 Limited is labeled on it's cover (kind of hard to see because it's black). But there's also a diagram on page 226 of my online manual that shows the same thing. The center wire, in my case black, is the hot for the reverse lights. The...

Thank you, Keezer. I'm one of the very amateur visual guys. And what I found last night was that if I left one of the doors open the whole evening the interior lights went out after a few minutes and didn't come back on. I also turned the bed lights off with the push button switch near the...

I love my 2021 Limited more than any vehicle I've ever owned. There are lights everywhere on this truck. But I'm trying to figure out a way to have a lights out mode when I'm star gazing and around other star gazers. Very annoying for lights to come on all the time. Any ideas?

Thank you, nburd. I hadn't thought about anti corrosion spray. I'll be sure to do that.

I found a self tapping screw and washer to replace it. That seemed to work well.

I got it! Thank you to all who helped. Cordless driver spinning the head at high speed while prying and rocking the pry bar from behind finally backed the screw out. Really appreciate the help.

Thank you, dts828. I tried using a small forked pry bar while I turned the head. No matter how hard I pried the threads wouldn't turn in the clip.

Thank you, Big White RAM and also OldMarine. It's in the front and I couldn't find a way to get access behind it. So I'll try your methods tomorrow.

Thank you, OldMarine, and thank you for your service. I'll try that tomorrow. I'm not sure I can get it tight again. So maybe if I can get the head cut off I can force the remaining screw shank to fall in and out of the way for another screw. I'll follow up.

I've installed Weathertech no-drill mud flaps on my 2021 Limited. But for the last one there was one hex head screw that wouldn't come out. It just spins. I've tried gripping it with vise grips to pull as I turn it and pried behind it at the same time, but nothing. Don't know what to do...

What's going to be so great about 5 over 4? I don't get it.

And don't forget JMS Pedalmax.

Ordered my 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Crew Cab 4x4 on 07/09 and as of this morning it's built and is at the body vendor. 09/11 was the original estimated ship date.

Ordered my 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Crew Cab 4x4 on 07/09 and as of this morning I finally have a build sheet. 09/11 was the original estimated ship date. Hoping this date is not a bad omen.
