    Fog light dilemma

    If you're trying to keep it looking OEM I'd recommend staying with OEM. You might be able to pick up a used one off members here that have replaced their fogs with aftermarket pods.

    AT tire with low road noise.

    If you think the Duratracs aren't loud then you'll be amazed when you switch tires. I thought the Duratracs "weren't too bad" then put on my Coopers and it was night and day different. Another vote for Coopers. Had them about 6k miles, rotated once at 5k. No noise difference that I noticed.

    Which one!?

    I have a 5th gen with a sunroof. No leaks so far (knock on wood), and I used to be dead set against them. I love mine. Noise I can't tell the difference as these trucks are quiet in general, and I had ceramic tint applied to it for the heat transfer. Like others have said more information would...

    Left/Right turn signal fuse

    If you have the 7 pin trailer connector it will be the best place to get turn signals. This diagram should also be on the cover of the connector at the back of your truck. A lot of members (myself included) have bought a Curt wiring harness that adds connections so we don't have to splice our...

    5th Gen Ram 1500 Differential Rear Fluid Change (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022+)

    I have the 3.92 locker and used AMSOIL 75W-140 per their website. The additional friction modifier is needed for the LSD, so nothing extra for ours.

    Replacement Lug Nuts

    Yeah having the key is annoying, but I just always put it in the glove box. It also provides some protection against the guys at any shop that might have to remove my wheels from slamming an impact socket into them.

    Replacement Lug Nuts

    I've used Gorilla lugs for 10 years on various trucks. Never once had an issue. They're pricier than OEM, but far cheaper than $12 a lug. I have these that I got from Discount Tire when buying my wheels...

    looking to purchase seeking advise

    I personally think it's high. Just priced mine out on KBB with a "Very Good" rating as it doesn't have any scratches/dings. I have more options than that truck including the moon roof, 12" screen, bed liner, parking sensors/assist, trailer brake, plus the addons (don't know how much it affects)...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Took them about 3 hours to replace it, said don't wash it directly on the window or slam the doors for 24 hours. It's supposed to rain like 4 inches over the next two days, so maybe I'll try to cram it into the garage and make my wife's car sit in the rain. :LOL:

    33 x 12.5 x 18 on fuel rim with a +20 offset fit on a stock 2022 1500 limites longhorn

    Tire might also hit the UCA because of that positive offset.

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Update for mine: Dealer needed the truck for an entire day to make the warranty claim, since apparently Ram will ask for random pictures. Warranty approved with no issues, and they actually have the part in stock, so it'll go in next Monday to get it replaced.

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Thought I might have gotten lucky with my 2020. I didn't notice anything at first because my headliner is black. Noticed my floorboard was wet when I grabbed something from under the seat, looked up, frame is cracked. For some reason the dealer needs it for an entire day to send info to warranty...

    Not great at towing

    For what it's worth, I've towed ~8.5k pounds on a trailer and gotten 14mpg in my Rebel. Didn't go above 55, and it was a low profile trailer and two pallets of retaining wall blocks. Ran it about 50 miles for that average. Speed and wind resistance are the biggest factors. But yeah, you're not...

    Not great at towing

    The windscreen on that UTV acts as a big sail. There's like a 4mpg difference when I have the expanded metal ramp up on the back of my trailer instead of laying down on it, especially at speeds above 50. That's when the trailer is empty. Depending on which direction you're driving (into the wind...

    Stellantis fires hundreds of engineers

    Just jumping in on the off-topic discussion as another "non-licensed" engineer. Two Biomedical Engineering degrees from an accredited university, decade+ experience being an engineer, never needed a license. Even with that Texas statute if you're working for a private employer and not providing...
