There's a major problem with the tailgates of our 5th Generation Rams: a GIANT hole that invites gravel to get stuck inside! It annoyed me to no end, so I made this Gravel Guard which works by covering the gaping hole in the bottom of our tailgates, while still allowing water to drain out. The...

Reviving an old thread in case it helps anyone in the future: It is also quite easy remove the tailgate with two people, then shake it back and forth to get the gravel to fall out. There are many videos showing how to remove the tailgate. Here's a solution to keep debris from building up in...

I bought this 2019 Rebel 1500 last year with 36,000 miles on it. The OEM factory tires (Goodyear wrangler duratrac) were very cupped. I assumed the previous simply hadn't rotated the tires often enough, or the alignment was off, or the shocks were bad. I replaced the tires with BFG K02, had the...

I'm wondering the same thing. Must have something to do with the combination of rim and tire size on the rebels. 55 does seem quite high and it certainly makes the ride noticeably more firm than the 35-40 psi trucks I've ridden in. I need to get some chalk and see what my tread pattern is...

Also, how did you determine what pressure you would use?

Do you have any issues with the low tire light? What brand and model of tires do you run?

I should also mention that at 15 PSI off road there is a DRAMATIC increase in ride quality and I feel there is plenty margin of safety that the tire will not come off the bead with the style of driving I am doing. On these stock rims, I could probably get away with below 10 and still not run the...

I have a 2019 Rebel 1500 with the factory 18" rims. BFG K02 tires in the stock size (275/70R18). On road: (following the recommended pressure on the door sticker) 55 psi front 45 psi rear Off road: 15 psi all around (no extreme driving, just slightly rugged roads below 45mph) I'm...

I have the M18. It works well in a pinch, but it is quite slow and gets very hot after just one tire, so if you're airing up multiple tires, you should let it cool between tires. If you air down frequently like I do, then you'll definitely want something different. I use CO2. If your objective...

I was originally just posting this as a joke because I saw this in the parking lot the other day (and I know it's not a 5th Gen), but now I'm genuinely curious: What spare parts and fluids do you keep in your truck? For me, about the only thing I would consider a spare part is my tire patch...

Yes. Hdrams.com will be able to help much better than we can. Sounds like a large connector is loose to cause multiple failures simultaneously.

What do you think is the best battery money can buy for our 5th gens and why? I have heard great things about these Full throttle Batteries: FT850-94R Battery from Fullriver Battery

That is unfortunate. I can't help you other than just recommending you take it back to the dealer and have them fix it. Hopefully they give you a loner while they work on it.

My thoughts exactly. I had the front door windows tinted by a pro and they are PERFECT. No distortion or bubbles, so I am confident it is possible to make the windshield good too. In case anyone is curious, this is the law in Colorado: "motor vehicles registered in Colorado must transmit at...

It is certainly possible to remove the etorque battery, but you would definitely need to know what you're doing. I don't claim to know what I am doing in this space, so I won't even speculate on how it is done.
