    Factory battery draining?

    There are lengthily threads on this forum about oem batteries, all not very good. I commented before about my 2019 1500 battery. I finally replaced the factory H7 with an Interstate H8 AGM and have had no issues since. The battery tray is sized to H8 and all that is needed is to remove the...

    Leaking back window 2019 Ram 1500

    You didn't say what year your truck is. Mine is a 2019 new addition and had the dreaded cracked rear window frame. The Star Case Number was S20223000005 Rev A with a release date of 11/26/2020. This case number showed the correct Backlite part # as 68426398AD. If your truck is newer it...

    Is there a way to fix the parking sensors? Not talking about turning them off and on.

    They are proximity sensors and will continue to beep so long as you are close to an object. Get far enough away and they will not beep. Putting the truck in reverse still leaves it close enough to pick up a potential hazard.

    Rear Window leak

    I have a 2019 limited and had the rear frame replaced 4/15/2021. If you have yours replaced make sure the correct replacement is used. The original Star Case Number was S20223000005 Rev A with a release date of 1/30/2021. The correct Backlite part # is 68426398AD. The one that failed is...

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

    Had mine replaced in a 2019 1500 about one year ago. No leak since.

    Limited leather seat wrinkled after 2 years/70k miles.

    Google "remove wrinkles from car leather seat". Looks like a common issue with a home cure.

    Headliner Leak

    If its still under the original 3/36 it probably is. If it's out of the original warranty you're on your own. You didn't say where the leak is but there are lots of posts about leaking from third brake light, antenna, rear window surround and sun roof. Good luck with this.

    Battery dead?

    Don't waste any more of your time trying to figure out if the battery is any good, it's not. Numerous posts here about OEM battery issues. I replaced my battery at about 10k with an Interstate AGM H8 for around $250 and have had no issues since.

    Pop behind dash (screen) and wont start

    I had the same thing happen on my 2019 1500 limited. The popping I heard was coming thru the anc speaker in the roof panel right next to the microphone pickup above the driver. My OEM battery was a lead acid h7 and I replaced it with an Interstate agm h8 for about $250. Haven't had a problem...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    I hope all you guys headed out for a new battery are going with an AGM H8 instead of the H7. Swapped out my OEM H7 lead acid that came with my 2019 Hemi after the battery died at 7k miles. Went with an Interstate H8 AGM for about $250.00. No battery issues since that time.

    Dead Battery - Again, Last driven Sept 6, 2022

    OEM battery life seems to be an issue with a lot of batteries, not just on the Ram. I have a 2019 5.7 HEMI and had the battery die. It was the original H7 size and I replaced it at 17k with an H8 AGM Interstate battery and never looked back. You should do your self a favor and not fret over...

    "Bump" when truck downshifts into 1st gear.

    I had this problem on my 2019 limited. If I remember correctly it was a common issue discussed on this forum. Dealer did a flash of something and I haven't had the problem since.

    Bad or Good time to sell?

    A couple of points. (1) given the age of your Laramie and the current economic conditions it is likely that prices will drop over time. (2) NADA and KBB are good indicators of asking prices at dealers. Most dealers will markup a trade by 20% so look at both the trade in value and the dealer...

    Rear Widow Surround Crack

    Probably the crew cab simply because there are more of them on the road.
