    Ambient Temperature Sensor

    On a related note, does anyone have a recommendation on how to address the wacky HVAC inside the truck? In cool weather, I can set the temp to say 68 degrees and the truck gets hot, then cold, then hot again.... Crazy

    Front tow hook bolt issue

    It has a retention washer on it, that prevents it from simply falling out after you have loosened all the threads...loosen it all you can, and then put a good wrench at the top of the bolt body under the head of the bolt and hammer it out....It will take a few good licks to get it out, but you...

    Get the Best Price on a Factory Extended Warranty

    Glad I checked this thread again and saw the price increase......Ziegler has the price increase notice on their website effective 5-1-21, but the prices seem unchanged for now.

    Interesting notes on fuel economy

    If it gets 15% better mileage on 100% gas, then it's worth $.35 to $.45 per gallon more....I'm going to stick with this 100% gas for a while. Seems like a good idea....

    Fix for the Rambox issue with the Retrax Pro MX

    I purchased and installed the Retrax Pro MX on my 2020 Ram with Ram Boxes last year. While the cover is super well-made and looks awesome, I was very disappointed because the rails, specifically the side rubbers gaskets very much restricted how much you could open the Ram Boxes.

    Terrible Dealer Experiences

    I love my Ram, but the dealer experience was not very good. Everyone there (except the F&I guy) just seems miserable...sales people, sales managers, service techs and writers, etc ... I have owned GM, Ford, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Infiniti, Acura....and while I don't expect the premium...

    A few possible mods, which to do??

    Wasn't my experience at all with my Borla S-type...I noted a pronounced drone when the MDS kicked in with the Borla...took it off sold it and bought the Corsa...no drone. The Ataknis super loud, maybe it just overcomes the drone .. I wanted to like the Borla....it's made in my hometown and I...

    2019 1500 reliability issues?

    The RAM brand has higher initial quality than Ford per JD Power, and that is an indicator of long term reliability. Furthermore, the internally cammed, naturally aspirated 5.7 hemi has to be more reliable than the boosted Ford
