My 2022 Ram truck came with a standard 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. After that I believe you’re on your own. I bought the 7yr / 100k extended warranty and not changing trans oil / filter. I’m selling it when the warranty limits are reached. If I were keeping it, at 60k miles...

Figured this out. In the display settings you need to switch to manual and only get your choice of dark or light mode but not both meaning, you can’t program light during day and dark at night. Take your pick. Easy enough to switch back and forth in settings if desired. Unlike Android Auto that...

That dimmer switch (also used for Parade mode) only changes the displays (dash and 8.4 monitor) intensity, not the background color from white to black on monitor.

I have 2022 uconnect 5 w/ 8.4 and Nav. I use Android auto and during the night time this displays in black background. All the other screens (music , ect) display with white background same as during the day time. Is there any way to have all the screens display in black background during the...

Changing oil more often is the wisest choice imho. I tow 7k# over 60% of the time and change oil at 50% oil indicated or 5k miles whichever is first. The majority of time I’m changing at 4300 – 4500 miles indicating 50%. In late November I made a 3k mile round trip towing and had 2500+ miles on...

Normal, my 2022 has done this since day 1. Has no effect on anything when engine running.

I put this one in that I have used in my previous truck that was still working after 8 yrs. 94R

I used 3 tubes of Permatex 81730 Flowable Silicone Windshield and Glass Sealer and filled the upper gap of the rear window the full length to the top of the glass. Can’t see it from the ground and no more leaks. Caught my leak early at 35k miles and never gave it a thought to take it to the...

Do the new 2025 Rams that have start /stop also have a 48v battery behind the passenger seat like the 2024 and earlier eTorque engines? Can S/S be disabled?

My truck is going 100k miles and then replaced. I do plan on changing the transmission fluid myself at 60k miles, but I’m only doing a drain and refill, no filter replacement. Honestly one could easily use this method several times for 120k miles without problems. In my 2011 Hemi Ram with 545...

At 30k miles purchased new Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in XL rating 275/55-20 and have over 12k miles on them now. I had two sets of the original Defenders on my 2011 Ram 1500 prior. I agree the newer LTX M/S2 are not as quiet (when dead quiet no radio playing) as the prior version, and they...

Easy broken stud extraction. Rent a mig welder (120v) from Home Depot and weld a nut to the broken stud and spin right out. Did both exhaust manifolds on my 2011 Hemi Ram with broken rear studs, common problem.

X3. I use a 750ma Junior (have several for over 20 yrs) and it’ll charge/ maintain a 12v auto battery for as long as needed. Just because it charges at a slower rate doesn’t make it any less effective once to maintain mode.

I fixed mine using Permatex 81730 Windshield & Glass Sealant. I Purchased 3 tubes (1.5 oz) and 4 would have been better. I filled that cavity full to the top of window glass completely across the rear of the window and several inches down the sides. A fourth tube would have got me farther down...

Don’t follow the oil minder and change oil / filter every 5k with correct synthetic and you should be fine well over 100k. My 2011 had 180k when a lifter roller needle failed and this was with over half the mileage towing a #7k enclosed car hauler. I changed oil religiously at 3k miles in that...
