    Tungsten seat cleaning

    I used Woolite to clean my in laws 2003 Gran Marquis's leather. It had not been cleaned in years and came out looking great. Don't recall what ratio of water I used. Here is a link with more info. No visible damage/adverse effect from what I can see. This was also a 1 time use. Best...

    Key fob programming

    Thanks, ordered June 10th, 2024 via Amazon. Lot of info on the topic over the years. The 3 sons absorb those costs in their inheritance. I'm sure other members will pick up on the info and appreciate the savings.

    2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn with a 5.7 hemi, oil pan is leaking through.

    My 2019 had the rusting oil pan issue but was resolved via a motor replacement under the lifetime warranty. Sorry for your problems particularly considering Ram/Stellantis should step up to the plate for the replacement. FYI https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/rusted-out-oil-pan.49892/

    V6 hard shifts when engine is cold

    I had the "Lifetime Warranty" so I was "captured". On the plus side it only cost me $100 plus tax and the dealership put in a new battery as mine died from sitting. It is the 3rd OEM battery for my Ram and the 2nd OEM was also covered under warranty ( 2 yrs. old). Fortunate for me I still...

    V6 hard shifts when engine is cold

    Sorry to hear of your plight. My hemi crapped out at 40,011 miles, service advisor said 2 to 3 months from the start, 4 months before I got it back. Dealership was loaded with work and a replacement engine ties up the bay. Service leaves something to be desired for the Ram from my experience.

    Key fob programming

    January 2023 I was quoted by a local "Payless Car Keys Corp" (paylesscarkeys.com) $350 for a Ram Key FOB. Now $250 with certain requirements: "Service includes AFTERMARKET smart key, programming service and mechanical service key and cutting service Price is promotional and require prepayment...

    Ram 1500 taillight

    I learned about cheap LEDS from a Home Depot purchase/return and an internet search. The lights would come on and turn off. "Cheaply made driver parts and bad capacitors are responsible for the problems in the LED lights." From https://lumenauthority.com/common-problems-with-led-lighting/

    Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor failed today. What do you guys recommend?

    Bought the No Mar MC changer when the dealer gave me a 2 week ETA. Funny thing is I've done a 1/2 dozen car tires and no MC tires. My buddy was the first to use the trailer hitch and loved it. He talked about buying one. I said why buy and store when you can borrow mine when you need it. My...

    DIY programming key fob part

    I don't see a reason you couldn't use this FOB. Looks like 99.1% feedback for the ebay seller with over 138K responding. If the additional $30 plus for the OEM FOB gives you peace of mind that is not a high cost. Last time I looked on line the OEM FOB was $170 with an MSRP of $255...

    Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor failed today. What do you guys recommend?

    What brand MC tire changer? I have not tried doing a Ram wheel with my No Mar brand. Had a little learning curve on my Honda Fit tires. I also purchased the hitch mount for the No Mar, gives me the freedom and space to work outdoors vs bolting it to my cellar floor.
