    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    Will you and the kids ever be bicycling? Will your bikes fit in a 5' bed? I wanted the long bed in the event I ever want to sleep in the truck. I could with my 1988 Ranger!

    110v Inverter fuse or disable?

    If those are aftermarket LED lights, start there. Lots of people have had strange interference problems with remote start and such and traced it to cheap LED bulbs.

    How it's calculated

    Let us know if you ever crack the formula. I haven't been able to. How does it calculate mpg and range?

    Should you engage 4WD periodically?

    If your Ram is a 4X4, you have that same kind of CV joint boot on your front axle.

    Tow mode question.

    Did that trailer have a 4 pin or a 7 pin hookup? I believe the trailer length and all that are triggered by the electric brake circuit. Tow/haul only adjusts transmission shifting.

    You got kids? Then here's what you need to buy first. Otherwise they will plug in some electronic game and hijack the truck's audio. Amazon.com

    Tire pressure issue with ram 1500 OEM aluminum wheels?

    Mix up some soapy water and cover the valve stem. Also remove the valve stem cap. I got my a$$ kicked about 1986 chasing a slow leak that turned out to be a piece of plastic flash depressing the stem when the cap was tightened down. The cap is only to keep dust out, it doesn't seal airtight...

    Window Button - Where to buy?

    Find the part number then google it. Sometimes you can find stuff on EBay real cheap, sometimes some dealership has a good mail order section.

    Looking for spare fuse slot

    Move the fuse for the 12V power outlet to battery, then stick a spade terminal into the now-vacant "run" space. An inline fuse and away you go. Unless you want the power port to be run-only. Then use a piggyback fuse tap directly on the fuse.

    12v Outlet Power Capacity?

    It's a 20A fuse, so nominally 240 watts. I suspect that may be more than the wiring and socket can actually take. Most of your aftermarket sockets are only rated for about 10A.

    Differential Additives

    You haven't lived until you've done a clutch on your back in the driveway and ended up with a 90 weight shampoo.

    Avg MPG Calculation

    Good luck with that. I've been trying to figure it out for several years. How does it calculate mpg and range?

    Pain in the butt safety stuff

    It will. That's why I mentioned it early on in this thread as well. The secret is to leave the extender plugged in all the time. The truck stays happy since it looks like the belt is always buckled and you can put the belt on or take it off at will.

    Differential Additives

    I have no idea about capacity. But you are correct -- the front is an open differential and doesn't need additive. The technique is correct, additive then fill 'til it runs out.
