    Parts falling down after brake pedal recall ..

    I have to say I did think the solution in the TSB was sort of cobbled-together hack. Hoping for a engineering rethink from FCA.

    A/C Performance

    I have been watching and I have heard no one getting the AC TSB done and reporting any results... other than "It doesn't apply to your VIN" even though the build date is well within inside what is listed in the TSB. I would love to here something other than "doesn't apply" results.

    Peragon Bed Cover

    Just search peragon and you'll get a few hits. Here's a picture of mine in this other thread: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/choosing-best-tonneau-cover.2648/post-58026 I love mine. I really wanted a hard aluminum lockable paint matched cover that I could completely remove in a half...

    Forward Collision Warning

    Follow someone pretty closely 30-35 mph and keep your foot off the brake (no preloading the pedal) until they turn right in front of you - don't slow as if you see them. Helps if they linger in the turn a bit not clearing the road. It does not have to be a dangerous move or all that close...

    Can I leave my fob at home inside my foil hat and just use the app when I am out and about?

    Alexa skill?

    I can confirm the RAM skill name works fine for me. Too bad you have to blab your PIN code.

    Choosing Best Tonneau Cover

    I can't answer the snow and ice question, but you'd think Peragon could since they are made in Wisconsin. I love mine and would have been really happy getting 20% off. I really wanted a hard aluminum lockable paint matched cover that I could completely remove in a half a minute by myself, and...

    Heated Steering Wheel

    I attempted to use the FLIR camera on the hottest portion of the steering wheel (the leather seam on either side, bottom). I still did not really get anything conclusive. It seemed pretty hot when the seats were on high and also pretty hot in this spot when the seats were on low. I think it...

    New recall on power adjusting pedals

    Looks like the repair procedure (up thread) wants the pedals in the farthest forward (toward cowl, away from driver's seat) before disconnecting the battery and installing a) the band clamp spacer and b)stop block clamp that will restrict the limits of travel only on the "short" side. If anyone...

    Lazy Dealers?

    To be honest, the only ones I have ever heard of pulling a vehicle for delivery and inspection is Tesla. They do it for every delivery as far as I am aware. Maybe others do too. But then again a self-serving dealer would not find that pulling the truck into the lighted and heated service or...

    Heated Steering Wheel

    I took my thermal gun and tested today. I could be wrong, but it seems that the steering wheel cycles on/off to control it's temperature and doesn't operate in a linear fashion like a "rheostat". Maybe that is how the seats work too. Again, only using a cheap non-contact IR thermal gun to...

    Lazy Dealers?

    If you had noticed this before you drove off, I suspect they would have replaced the wheel instantly in order to make the sale. Even quicker if you walked off with a "call me when it is resolved" close. I get not being able to do that under all circumstances - I ended up inspecting mine in...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Can anyone offer any intelligence as to how to negotiate an end-of-lease situation (i.e. a potential purchase of a new RAM for example)? There have to be a lot of people turning in vehicles at lease end but the subject of how and where to negotiate does not get much play. I am interested in...

    New recall on power adjusting pedals

    I have read the recall and looked at the fix. Am I correct in stating that unless you are running your pedals forward and backward through the extremes of the adjustment that it is a just not an issue? I don't think my pedal adjustment setting as have ever been moved from day one. My plan is...

    Totally thrilled with new Ram 1500 - mods rock too!

    Tuxmats look nice. I wonder how they will wear/look over time, they look so nice now. I have a set of Huskys that are unfortunately always covered in some crud somewhere, but I doubt I can ever wear through them. I'd try these next if they hold up.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That subprime incentive is very strange (although I get the need sorta). Bonus cash if you have marginal FICO scores. Zip if have a great score. Thanks for posting.

    22" OEM Goodyear's work pretty well in snow!

    Tesla was (may still be) putting Goodyear Eagle Touring tires on some of their Model S trim levels as OEM (the only difference from our tires being their specific size including an acoustic liner to provide additional help with noise). We way that owner group complains about the smallest...

    New recall on power adjusting pedals

    I did mine in my driveway too :) The dealer can do it again and check my work next time I get there.

    Air conditioning performance

    If you stick an instant read thermometer in the vent with the cool on max, this is the most unambiguous way to see if the cool air is cool. My other cars put out air in the upper 30s within 10 seconds. The truck can only get to the upper 40s after many minutes and mostly 50s air temp. YMMV...

    HK system Bass

    The bass & sub on mine is ridiculously over emphasized and I have it cut in the eq and the fader pushed for front bias. To me this system sounds like a teenager with the annoying stoplight boom rice box must have approved it. I am hopeful but I would be shocked, shocked to see an update from...
