    BELT BLOWN AT 9K Miles-URGENT READ

    We need to be careful in getting the correct belt. I ordered a Goodyear on Amazon, and their parts tool gave me a narrow belt. None of the auto parts places I called can cross reference the apparently correct Mopar 5281957aa. Some say its 6 band, but it could be 8 band. Some of the part...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    If your Ram has a Console, here's an upgrade you might like. The consoles on the 5th gen were designed by a caveman. The openings are cavernous and have few lids. Drop something in and you may never see it again. So what's pictured as a simple attempt to recreate the sliding, flat lid over the...

    2023 - 2024 1500 Speed Warning on 12" Display

    I found a copy of the 400 page uconnect radio manual that ram doesn't provide with the vehicle. It says it warns on speed, fixed at 3mph above the speed limit. Somewhere else I saw a mention of the speed limit sign on a nav screen turning red. Neither mentions anything about the user setting mph...

    2023 - 2024 1500 Speed Warning on 12" Display

    I umderstand this feature in 4th gen but in the 23s and 24s how do you set the miles over speed limit? I see how to turn it ONLY on and off under vehicle, settings, and something like alarms. In my new ride with 100mi on it, with speed warning on, I never set it off at even 15 over.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Just ordered and received a 24 Laramie purchased thru Mark Dodge. I'm in Va and never dreamed I'd buy a vehicle 1200mi away. From order to delivery was just 8 weeks. Here's the deal: Msrp, less 12.5% from the dealer, less rebates of $4500+1000+1000+ affiliate rebate of $930. All in all, an...

    Interior overhead light not coming on, with door open ,2024

    Its worse than that. In the overhead there's one on and one off. To switch the doors correctly, the on switch must be off, and the off switch must be on. Really. What threw me is the label on the off switch. After zooming in on a pic, I see now that's the outline of a truck with a door open...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Op did a great job here but there are 2 things missing. He explains you'll get better towing and acceleration with 3.92. It sure would be great to know with the same empty weight, how much faster 0-60? With the 3.21, how much better mpg at 60? Is it .1mpg or is it 1 mpg? Without performance...

    2024 Best Prices Today

    In other words, the prices on the Ram site are slightly low and don't yet reflect 24 pricing. So it's not until you get your build sheet and the true 24 msrp, that you'll have the real numbers to work with. At your dealership, what's the email to send a request to?

    2024 Best Prices Today

    Two Ram different dealers have told me that if I order a 24 today and pay a $1000 deposit, the price will be locked and guaranteed. They call it price protected. As mentioned it sees too good to be true, because the only available prices are 23 prices. Question for the 2 Ram dealers posting...

    2024 Best Prices Today

    Ok. We're making progress on 24 Laramies, Longhorns, and Limiteds. Since Grainger currently has far less discount, all you have to do is have Mark Dodge price yours at 13.5% off msrp, and have Koons price it at 6.2 +1.5% under invoice. Koons has double the bs processing fee, so there's a $500...

    2024 Best Prices Today

    The "percent msrp off" thread dates back 5 years, has good info, but is all over the place. Anyone shopping for a 24 wants to know where the deals are. Here's fresh info. Mark Dodge in La is offering 12.5% off msrp on ordered vehicles and another 1% with an affiliate membership. It appears...

    Transmission, Rotary Shifter, Blinking P or R

    I forgot to mention that I also get a very hard shift 2-3, loud clunk, followed by a big tyranny slip 3-4. Watching the tach, if I'm lightly accelerating at 1500 rpm, tach will show a 5-700 rpm surge 3-4. I get large slips on ocassional downshifting. Two dealers said nothing wrong, due...

    Transmission, Rotary Shifter, Blinking P or R

    I've read that many owners have had trannys replaced. I created an FCA case after two dealers could not replicate the problem. Now I can't get the FCA case manager to return my call. What is wrong with this picture?
