    Prevent center console damage from duty/carry gun?

    Interesting solutions to be sure. Some I'd be concerned about hard breaking or impact. I have a great carry system and altering it just to drive isn't something I want to do. I'll attempt to mitigate further damage, but it is what it is. 🤷‍♂️ Rest of the vehicle looks like the day it rolled...

    Prevent center console damage from duty/carry gun?

    That might work and wouldn't look too out of place if trimmed neatly. Generally, we try to minimize actions like that. Repetition can lead to complacency. Safest place for it to be is in the holster. Thanks for the ideas.

    Prevent center console damage from duty/carry gun?

    Ever see any kind of 'shield' or other product to prevent damage to the center console from your duty or daily carry gun (driver's right side)? After a couple of years I'm getting irritated at the damage. Tore the rubber boot off the seat belt and the plastic to the center console is getting...

    5.7L e-Torque Turns Off - Shuts down when stopped

    Had this happen to me today. Flat ground. 65 degrees. About broke my brain as I tried to figure WTF was going on. Truck is headed in for it's first oil change / tire rotation this week. Guess I've got something to add the 'customer states' block.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I didn't do much, but on Saturday the tint shop did a great job w/ ceramic tint all the way around and on the pano. Got it all cleaned up today after waiting his recommended 3 days. Looks fantastic and I can tell a big difference on temperature (at least I keep telling myself that). Hardest...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Picked up rear wheel well liners from the dealership this afternoon. Installed them in the parking lot of my shop, between customers interrupting me (the nerve!). The MOPAR directions were worthless. Thanks to the 2020 Rebel owner (Water Fowler 41) who put up a useful youtube video. I'm not...

    Passenger window switch failure

    Finally found time to get it into the dealership. Took a day for the part to get in, but a simple swap of passenger side window control and I'm back in biz. I hit the parts department and ordered the rear wheel well liners which should be in tomorrow. Fingers crossed for an easy weekend...

    Passenger window switch failure

    Fun glitch today. Passenger window goes down on command from passenger seat, but not up. Still controllable from the driver's master panel.

    Your RAM, Android, Ring Camera app, glitch

    Confirmed, but it's a Ring thing so not really a UConnect issue. Just involves UConnect if the phone is in/near the truck. Technology, gotta love it.

    Your RAM, Android, Ring Camera app, glitch

    Sitting in my truck, cranked up the Ring app on my phone (android 11) to see live view. Motion alarm had kicked off. Pressing Live View in the Ring app caused UConnect to dial my cell phone, or at least try to. I was very confused trying to juggle phone and answer what I thought was an incoming...

    Terrible Dealer Experiences

    I'd replace vehicles more often if it wasn't for dealerships. They're 100% the worst part of the process. Amazon should sell trucks. :unsure:

    Truck showing incorrect outside temperature

    Noticed today that temp was reading 10 degree under air temp after start up. About 15 mins later it was reading 10 degrees over air temp. 2021 Laramie that's about to hit 1,000 miles. Something to keep an eye on.

    "RamDown"...and i mean "Hard"😲❗

    From the comments, the poster of the video says: "He did not adapt his speed to the road conditions, the car skidded, hit a tree, jumped into the ditch, after the ditch he jumped back on the road and hit a car. No one died. It seems that the car is quite resistant to accidents."

    What error code is this? Yellow, star, truck

    Right. It's close but not exact which made me wonder.

    What error code is this? Yellow, star, truck

    Think what got me is that it fires after all the other warning lights cycle on startup. I'm happy to ignore it now.
