    Travel Trailer towing question, I apologize if it has been asked to many times.

    I typically keep my trailer tow brake setting at 6.5-7, for a 5k R-pod. I changed out my diff fluid for Ravenol at 30k (43k currently) and haven't had any noises/shudder after towing. Hopefully you don't have any issues with it now that it's changed out.

    Ambient temp reading scorched earth (185*)

    Follow up: Was able to get things working again with a ~$14 Amazon ambient temp sensor. I reset the CEL and all has been good. It's amazing how many things get messed with with a single sensor failure.

    Ambient temp reading scorched earth (185*)

    It's doing a new trick now..... Start/stop disabled, CEL, no remote start, and no ECO mode. HVAC seems to be a bit wonky as well.... Haven't pulled codes. Do you think replacing the sensor and resetting the CEL will fix this thing??

    Ambient temp reading scorched earth (185*)

    Fired up the truck today, '21 Limited, 41k miles, and the outside air temp is reading anywhere from 140-185* F (See pics). Any remedies you guys know of to fix this? Normally my temps read spot on.

    Help figuring out the Auto Lighting

    These trucks seem to have a penchant for turning the lights on a bit earlier/ off later than other vehicles. I do wish there was a way to separate the dimming of the interior lights from the exterior.

    Weird odor after carwash???

    These trucks are very picky with the kind of cabin filter they like, otherwise they stink, ALOT. The activated charcoal ones help. Also clean out the air box when you change the filter.

    Door closing not solid

    The fronts have a solid sound, but the rears sound hollow. They don't leak, so I guess it's just FCA saving a buck on production.

    Windshield Wiper Blade Sizes - Mixed Information

    Same as others, 24 both sides. No idea why different sites/sources are giving different sizes.

    Disabling front and rear defrost with remote start.

    Every vehicle I've had with remote start (regardless of brand) will do this. I don't believe there are any settings to change/update.

    2020 Ram Limited Multi Function Tailgate Won’t Open

    I use a dielectric grease on a lot of the connectors/connections for exactly that reason. I also use a silicone lube on all the latches/strikers. I also agree that a manual back-up isn't something that should be a option, it should be mandatory.

    Service Transmission / Service Stop Start / Truck not in Park messages

    Good to hear it's working again. I'll have to keep an eye on mine the next few days, as we've had some decent snow and it's melting/re-freezing a bunch. I long for the days of mechanical connection with important things like the transmission.

    Service Transmission / Service Stop Start / Truck not in Park messages

    Have you changed the battery? Low voltage will cause all sorts of havoc. Any rear window/ RF module issues? Did it start working better when you re-connected the battery?

    Help: Leaking front axle and lurching on snow in 4High

    The first appears the be the 'front axle disconnect', similar to what Jeep uses on the Wranglers. Probably needs a re-seal. Might as well do a diff service at the same time. As for your second, welcome to the world of 'real' transfer cases.

    2020 Ram Limited Multi Function Tailgate Won’t Open

    I, too, have the MFT, been good so far, but that's not 'terrible' for dealer pricing on that. If I get outta there for under a grand, I consider it a win anymore with how many 'modules' these new vehicles have.

    2020 Ram Limited Multi Function Tailgate Won’t Open

    That's somewhat normal with 'fob' vehicles, as the water/brushes act like your hands and it'll try and lock the vehicle(s). Ford, Jeep, RAM, Porsche, Hyundai have all done that for me over the years.
