    33 gallon tank and fuel gauge

    Not a stripper but am a pilot as well. No skilled pilot uses any gas gauge, much less an analog gauge with a needle indicator to determine when an avgas or jetA tank is close to empty. It's way too dangerous, like are you reading the right or left side of the needle to guess the last few...

    Key fob programming

    For fob programing I tried the vlinker and Jimmy07s instructions and suggested tools/components and it worked like a charm. It is the holy grail for gen 5 ram fob programing. Cost about $110 for first fob incl jscan. Cost for additional fobs is about $60 incl jscan!!! You do have to install...

    Don't order from AmericanTrucks.com

    I attempted to buy from American a few months back and found them to be nasty. I'd never buy from them because you get the feeling you are dealing with slimy used car people!

    How to Get the Best Price on Your New Ram

    As a former dealer myself, I know there's a way to save lots of time and money.... No visits, emails, or phone calls to a list of dealers. Never talk to internet sales as it costs more... Instead, start with a call to Anthony at Mark Dodge and have him price your build. You can compare his...

    If I have a tonneau cover, can I take road trips with luggage and not worry about theft/water leakage?

    Ive had 5 different tonneau covers on 5 trucks. You can usually get a good seal around the top bed rails, however tonneau covers do not seal tailgates. Period. You have to buy a separate tailgate seal kit from various makers and some are pretty good and some not so much. With all tailgate seal...

    Mopar LED Bed Lights Install?

    No programing is needed. No harnesses needed. No switch is needed. You can use any 12v led light, not just mopar. All you need to do is identify the wire that supplies power to the cargo light. It is accessed through a removable panel in the left rear floor. It's in a large bundle of wires...

    Opening Rambox rubs against gasket of tonneau cover

    There are many rubber and plastic protective treatments. One is 303.

    Bed light harness question

    No harnesses needed. All you need to do is identify the wire that supplies power to the cargo light. It is accessed through a removable panel in the left rear floor. It's in a large bundle of wires running front to back. Don't recall the color. Some say its white with tan tracer. You can...

    Minor Accident - Diminished Value Claim Thoughts

    Don't care about semantics. I have a true life experience with diminished value where another driver was clearly at fault, hitting my 2 year old 1500. His company, Geico fought me tooth and nail, even though the laws in my state allow for diminished value awards. I felt that Geico acted...

    Front Parking Sensors?

    My mopar sensors were around $200 each. Ouch

    Opening Rambox rubs against gasket of tonneau cover

    That gasket is mandatory on most if not all covers. Without it, you'll have leaks. Looks like the mfg did not treat it well for uv resistance, and it is deteriorating early.

    Rear brakes at 99,000km (62,000 miles)

    I replaced my rear brakes after 80k road miles. Don't know about seized pins or not, but I was metal on metal at that point. Front brakes still good.

    Ram sales down

    The poster who suggested that most buyers are waiting for Hurricane motors is way off. Talk to any seasoned Ram salesman and he'll tell you that 8 of 10 buyers don't want a Hurricane, just yet anyway. Agree that interest rates are hurting sales big time. Don't see any more Ram "we have...

    RAM Dis-incentives

    Op just wanted to know the real truth on incentives. Mark Dodge will be truthful. You don't have to buy there. For most other stealerships, I'd barely trust one word they say. If someone wants to buy from Mark and lives far away, No problem. A carrier will bring it. I saved more than...

    RAM Dis-incentives

    The only truth telling, straight shooting dealer I found anywhere was Anthony at Mark Dodge. He is a subject matter expert and will tell it straight. Among 4 other dealers I spoke to, they were all confused. Don't know if any try to pocket some rebates for themselves. Anthony will likely...

    Aftermarket Bed LEDs, where to connect in 5th gen?

    noticed that the tailgate led light sometimes comes on with the cargo light but not always. Anyone know if it's the same circuit?

    Aftermarket Bed LEDs, where to connect in 5th gen?

    There are many posts on this topic, but most apply to factory mopar lights and using a factory harnesses. There's no bed light prewiring in my 24 Laramie. Hoping, but don't know if wiring is same for all 5th gens with same trim level, esp those with tailgate lights, but no bed lights. Seems...

    Beware: 2024 Laramie with Intermittent Blind Spot Monitor

    I agree with DEGs post. It's perfectly logical. I happen to have knowledge of several fatal auto accidents and in most every case the driver is sued and in most cases the manufacturer. It's always for millions. I've not touched the question of who wins those suits. I don't think it's asking...

    Ram bed step issues

    Driver owns one 24 Ram. Not a dealer of anything. Just trying to help other fellow owners avoid the mistake described above by the Ram parts manager!
