    2021 1500 bighorn cannot fill gas tank

    I don't think there was any gas in the fill neck. My technique now is to fully insert the nozzle, manually lightly squeeze the trigger until fuel is flowing, then put the trigger on the first notch. Using this method and not putting any more in the tank once it clicks off, the fuel gauge shows...

    Tailgate Would Not Shut on 2021 Ram 1500 DT

    Very strange situation happened on a camping trip last week. I had left my tailgate open during the day because we were getting things in and out for Halloween decorations. It was about 80 degrees F and the tailgate was in full sun most of the day. I went to shut it late in the day and it would...

    2021 1500 bighorn cannot fill gas tank

    This just happened to me on my 2021 Ram 1500 DT Big Horn eTorque 5.7L with about 8,500 miles. Got back from a camping trip at Cades Cove in the GSMNP about 3 weeks ago. I thought I had taken the truck down to fill up the gas tank after I got back, and had not driven the truck since then...

    New Battery Uconnect issues

    When I change out batteries I just put some alligator clips on the clamps attached to another battery. Then the truck is always connected to 12 volts.

    AGM or Lead Acid Battery

    Just read this on the MoparPartsGiant.com site which has the genuine factory batteries. The battery in my 2021 Ram 1500 5.7L eTorque has the P/N 56029635AC, so it's not an AGM according to this, but it is a maintenance free lead acid battery. Q: Is this an AGM batteryPosted by Customer: 2014...

    Alignment: Firestone Could Not Align My 2021 Ram 1500 DT

    Firestone Complete Auto Care finally got their alignment machine updated in early November 2022 and I got the lifetime alignment. That was right before I installed new Cooper AT3 XLT Load Range E tires on my truck. I'm running them at 50psi when not towing and the truck is handling great, just...

    Spare Tire

    I just put 4 - 275/55/20 Cooper Discoverer A/T 3 XLT Load Range E tires on my 2021 Big Horn because I tow a 7500# GVWR TT. With no load I running them with 50 psi and will pump them up to ~65 psi when I tow. They're stiffer than the OEM's but ride smooth and almost as quiet as the OEM...

    What engine oil are you using?

    I took my 2021 Ram 1500 5.7l Big Horn in to the dealer for an oil change back in March 2022 for the 1 year oil change at 3,583 miles. I got to looking at the receipt, no charge, but they put in a 5W20 synthetic blend. Man I was pissed, i had assumed they'd put in full synthetic. I asked the...

    New A/T Tires

    After towing our 34 foot travel trailer, 7500#GVWR earlier this month with my 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4X4, 5.7L eTorque, 3.92 Ratio Axle, OEM Bridgestone Dueler 275/55R20 113T Tires, Air Lift 1000 Coil Spring Air Bags, Fastway e2 800/8,000# Load Leveling Anti Sway Hitch on the Interstate...

    how often is everyone changing oil

    Back in March I took in my 2021 Ram 1500 DT 5.7L e-Torque Big Horn to the dealer for an oil change. I bought it in March 2021, so I didn't want to go past the 1 year mark even thought I only had 3,600 miles on it. The dealer said I should change the oil every 5,000 miles even though the manual...

    Lockable Gas Cap?

    I just checked my 2021 Ram 1500 DT Big Horn and with the doors locked my gas flap still opens. I'm not worried about someone stealing gas at my house because I live in a secluded location, but with gas prices now high you never know when your out and park it someplace. More likely to get the...

    Alignment: Firestone Could Not Align My 2021 Ram 1500 DT

    I just checked with my local Firestone Complete Auto Care and they still don't have their alignment machine updated to handle my 2021 Ram 1500 DT 4X4. The service writer knew right away they couldn't do it, but said they were scheduled to update, but didn't know when. I took the truck to the...

    Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

    I just finished installing the Hellwig 7709 sway bar on my 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7L Crew Cab 4X4 Short Bed 3.92 rear axle with 3,300 miles. It took me about 1 1/2 hours including gathering and putting up my tools. I used the middle hole after checking to make sure it was big enough, which it...

    Slip On Tow Mirrors

    My 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn came with the power side mirrors. I bought some universal clip on tow mirrors last year with the rubber straps (CIPA 11952, 2 for ~$30) and was not happy with them. The right side mirror actually blocked some of the view from my factory mirrors and you had to get the...

    Tire Recommendations for New Owner

    I'm not near ready for tires on my 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn which I only have 3,100 miles on, but wish the stock 20" Bridgestone Dueler H/L's had a higher load rating. I have experience with Cooper tires. I put some 265-75/16 Cooper AT3's (Load Range E) on my 2001 Chevy 2500HD 4WD (79,500 miles)...
