    Tital wave in dash

    Drain tube sticks out of the firewall on the right side. I suspect one or both of your cowl drains are blocked.

    Weird odor after carwash???

    I understand for frustration, same for me. Once I got it out, I cut a small V notch in both sides so you can collapse it a little. Makes it easier to get out.

    Weird odor after carwash???

    Check you cabin filter, it might be getting wet when you go thru the car wash. I have to remember to shut the system off when I go thru. I've had wet cabin filters full of car wash soap.

    Getting Tonneau cover dizzy

    I've been satisfied with the Lomax trifold cover that's been on the truck since new. Easy installation. Easy removal when needed. It isn't totally waterproof, I don't know of many that are to be truthful.

    Blue-ish/ white smoke

    The valve guide seals might be the culprit. How many miles are on the clock?

    Sub Zero No start with new battery

    How old is the battery in the key fob? Weak signal, maybe.

    2021 RAM 1500 Limited is Getting 8.5 MPG, Easy Driving, No Aftermarket Upgrades or Mods

    Ive got the same temps as you, unfortunately. Mine is garaged. My practice is to start it, let the RPM's drop to 800 and go. Heated seat and steering wheel keeps me happy enough until it warms up. I just drive it easy until it does warm up. I'll average 12.5 to 14 mpg this time of year. I...

    I would hand calculate the next tank's mileage and see what you get. It will get you out of the trucks history of mileage.

    ACC, ESC, collision avoidance system fail

    Both the RAM and our Maxima do this once in awhile running in snow, muddy and sometime juicy bug spatter conditions. I just knock off the build up on the sensors in the bumpers and so far it has solved the problems for us. What did you find out from the dealer?

    ACC, ESC, collision avoidance system fail

    Try rinsing the sensors out with a little water and a damp rag. They can get full of dirt.

    Weird odor after carwash???

    If you can remember, when you go thru the car wash make sure the defroster is not selected and the fan running. If it is, then the cowl vent is open and you can get a rush of water from the car wash.

    TPMS conundrum

    We all stuck with them. Wish we weren't to be truthful

    Trailer Hitch triggers backup alarm

    Why not just pull the hitch out and put it under the seat until you need it. Eliminate one shinn cruncher that way.

    Input on AT tires

    I have been running Copper AT3/4S. A great all around AT tire thus far, no complaints from me. I lost about 1.5 mpg, but thought it a fair trade for a substantially better tire than the OEM's. I would do it again if they are still around when I need another set of tires. You have to pay...
