    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    No special toools required but the more tools you have, the better chance of finding one that will work better than others. For instance, E.Hands used a couple screw drivers to compress and remove the snap ring in the top. I had several different prybars to choose from. The air fitting in the...

    Ride Soft

    My 2017 Limited was about the softest riding truck I have ever owned and was often compared to a caddy. It was amazing on the highway but left alot to be desired around town and in the curves. My "All new" 2019 is a much firmer and positive ride in all aspects. I'm sure the suspension design and...

    Wireless usb adapter?

    The Carlink 2.0 was actually a much better product. I had to upgrade the FW after one of the IOS updates broke a few things. I opted to get a newer device but newer is not always better. The 5.0 needs some assistance to connect maybe 1 out of 7 times but is solid once it is. It's biggest...

    Wireless usb adapter?

    I have the CarLinkIt 5.0 and am quite happy with it. They come on sale quite often and I got mine for under $50. https://www.carlinkit.com/

    Highway driving is bad or is it the roads?

    I had a similar issue with my 19 Limited but it only happened on certain stretches of road. I replaced tires and played with pressures but it ended up being a blown shock on the passenger front. The truck rode decent enough everywhere else but as mentioned above, certain stretches of road with...

    I resisted until the moment I drove this limited

    I've had mine over 6yrs and 140k miles and still think it's one of the sharpest trucks on the road. When I pass another on the road, I always say, "Damn that's a fine lookin truck!"

    Rear Fog Lamps

    Now that's funny. Now I want a Canadian Edition where all the voice alerts are done by Bob and Doug McKenzie. "The speed limits only 45 ya Hoser!"

    Power train warranty expiring

    Wouldn't hurt to take it in for an oil change and multi-point inspection. Last chance to get any issues recorded on the books prior to the expiration.

    Cant perform remote start takover as intended..

    You make no mention on if the brake pedal is depressed. Is that not a requirement for the takeover?

    Ram air suspension

    What's the payload on that truck? 1400-1600lbs max? I've loaded mine to 1700 before and got an error message but it recovered itself on the next restart with the load removed. What happens when you exceed the load rating by over double is anyone's guess but I'm sure it's not good. Stuck on...

    RF can cause problems

    Very interesting observation indeed. I use a Logitec M720 mouse in my home office and there are some days where it is completely erratic and beyond useless. It can connect directly using BT or a Wireless Dongle, (the BT connection seems to perform much better during these episodes). I've removed...

    Fuel Filler Neck

    No, there's nothing to do here. That tiny amount of trapped fuel is normal and quite irrelevent.

    Fuel Filler Neck

    There is a second seal further down the neck that traps some fuel in there if you pull the nozzle out to let it drain the lat drops of fuel. I actually ran into this last week when trying to add in some fuel conditioner. I used a really long screwdriver to push the second flap and drain the fuel.

    Time for Struts and Shocks?

    Do you have the Air Suspension? I do so my part numbers may differ.

    Time for Struts and Shocks?

    John's comments match my experience. I passed over replacing my factory shocks at the 100k mile marker when I did plugs, belts and a bunch of other maintenance and waited until I was goven a reason. Coincidentaly, that reason came around the 113k mile mark. What finally made me replace them was...
