Well, that would have been a shame because, despite all the undeserved derogatory comments about it, it's not been a problem for the vast majority of people owning it. E-torque is a non-issue, it's just another newer tech option like the 12" display. A lot of you don't like that either but a lot...

Battery issues are common with a lot of newer vehicles, I had the same problem on my new SUV. This is because OE batteries are not the best and newer vehicles are taxing them more than ever before with more and more electrical components and higher parasitic drains. Vehicle manufacturers can fix...

I haven't heard of any widespread issues concerning any of this, if there were, we would have heard about it by now. In any case, all those components are covered under an 8-year/80,000-mile warranty. Why stop with the e-torque components? The 5th Gen has a lot more tech than the Classic that...

Oh c'mon. There's nothing wrong with the e-torque version. Thousands of us have it and it works just fine. Any issues have been way overblown in forums, as is often the case. I can see why someone might not want it, but it's such a minor thing that no one should be upset or change/cancel their...

Criminals do care, they're risking jail time whenever they steal, if the stolen merchandise can't be moved, then it's not worth it to them. They know what's sellable and what's not and they focus on items that are easy to fence with the least chance of getting caught.

This is not an option for everyone. Where I live, state laws require an emissions check with instrumentation during yearly state inspections. If you fail this test or if they see the cat has been removed, you don't pass and you can't legally drive your vehicle until it passes.

We need state laws that every new catalytic converter has a very visible serial number on the bottom and cannot be legally sold or installed if that number is missing or altered. If yours get stolen, you can report the serial number and a cat with that number could not be legally sold or...

You're looking at it the wrong way. Corporations, businesses, and billionaires get billions in government tax breaks all the time. The costs to support a few energy incentives are a drop in the bucket compared to that. It's extremely rare when ordinary people like us are offered any such breaks...

Where I live, I would get a $7500 Federal tax rebate, a $2500 State cash rebate, and a $2400 electric company cash rebate on a hybrid or full electric. That goes a long way to offset the cost, especially seeing that the Ford Lightning costs around the same as my RAM Limited.

I would like to see a RAM hybrid as well as a full electric. Let's face it, if high gas prices are here to stay we need some form of relief. 17 mpg or less is tough going as prices exceed $5 per gallon.

I've used the tow-haul mode extensively on my 21 1500 Limited eTorque with no apparent issues.

Yes, exactly, thank you! RAM's descriptions are a bit odd, showing a circuit breaker for the driver's window but nothing for the passenger's window. And I see no CB5 or CB6 in my Internal Power Distribution Box, but they may be only for certain models. If anyone sees them in theirs, please let...

There have been a lot of people asking to make this a sticky so you can easily find it whenever you may need it. These requests have gone unanswered by the forum admins, so I just want to remind everyone that all the information here can always be found on this website that I created for it. The...

You're very kind and I appreciate it, but there's really no need to thank me. Before I recently retired I was an electrical, electromechanical, and software engineer at IBM for four decades. I used to design and build industrial semiconductor test equipment. Part of the job was documenting what...

You're welcome, glad I could be of some help.

A lot of trucks are utility vehicles and are rightly treated as such. But many newer trucks are $69,000 luxury vehicles that look incredible. I don't know about you, but I'm going to treat a vehicle I paid $69,000 for a lot better than a utility vehicle.

Never listen to the doctors. I went through the same thing. The cardiologist told me I had a 100% blockage widowmaker that affected 2/3rds of my heart with permanent damage. They rushed me off to the cath lab for stent insertion. My blood pressure was near 0 and he said that I should be dead. I...

If you have FLAC audio files you wish to use, then simply use your smartphone as the source and play them via BlueTooth or Andriod Auto/CarPlay. That's what I do. Unless you're an audiophile purist, using FLAC in a vehicle audio system won't be much of an advantage over compressed formats...

I was apprehensive at first about this feature on my 2021 Limited, but I have to say it works great. My RAM has the quietest cab of any vehicle I've ever driven. I don't know why people complain about the ANC, perhaps theirs is malfunctioning.
