    Cargo bag on top of a hard tonneau cover

    I need to carry a lot of personal belongings cargo and keep it dry. More than will fit in the bed. I have an inside the rails hard cargo cover that is rated to hold 400 lbs evenly distributed. I am considering buying a truck bed cargo bag and strapping it down to bull rings in the stake pocket...

    Do you actually use your panoramic sunroof?

    I have never had a factory sunroof problem in 25 years and lots of vehicles the Ram included. I use it all the time with the back window instead of side windows. Rarely close the shade unless it is parked in the sun. I will say that the wind quieting shield in this one is particularly nice...

    Steering no return to center (left turns)

    I don’t know if this will help anyone but it turned out that my issue was a bad gear in the rack not a bad seal as some others have explained. Same basic symptom with the never ending left turn. I still have to go back for the fourth time cause my dealership couldnt do a proper alignment after...

    Steering no return to center (left turns)

    Happened to me too. It was driving me nuts. It seemed like an intermittent alignment problem and that doesn’t exist. After the second trip to the dealer I found this thread and that explained it. Filed a case with Ramcares before the third visit. Service tech couldn’t duplicate but I showed them...

    Automatic screen brightness question

    One particular drizzly day this kept happening to me. It would go dim and back again and my wife was driving and lamenting the days when vehicles only had four knobs inside and didn’t do things unless you actually did it yourself. Turns out I also have the rain sensitive wipers. So if the wiper...

    Remove dealer sticker

    The one precondition of my special order was no stickers. They still put one on and I did t notice it until I got home. Not wanting to make a special trip I ordered a scraper with plastic razor blades from amazon. That took it right off and a little goo gone cleaned up what was left. No...

    Updating Nav Maps - Heard back from FCA - Let's Pressure them

    I find a certain amount of irony in this entire thread. It is something like “the lipstick wore off my pig, can you put a fresh coat on”. The built in nav is borderline unusable compared to anything on my phone through carplay. The only reason I even have the factory nav is because RAM forced me...

    Radio sounds totally different after Dealer?

    Dealers absolutely apply “fixes” to various software systems without your knowledge or permission. I went in for an alignment problem and came out with my shift points and etorque changed. I know because I was wondering why my mileage was lower after an alignment. They said they applied those...

    What to do when satellite radio trial expires?

    You have multiple cars, like the service, and only want to pay for one subscription. I have same situation. If you are willing to deal with a slightly less user friendly experience, pay for the streaming service instead of a car. The app works with CarPlay. Sound quality is as good or better...

    Hi everyone, this is Matt from B2 Fabrication

    I don’t know if you saw my post but I hav the same concern but due to a Corsa on the mustang. I like your car. If I had gotten a fastback I would have gotten that color. It looks lowered. As long as we are posting “my other car is a mustang” pictures in this thread...

    Hi everyone, this is Matt from B2 Fabrication

    thank you very much. I appreciate everyone posting on how great it sounds or it’s loud or not loud but that is all subjective. A decibel reading tells me volume and that comparison was really interesting without any muffler. I noticed your signature described your motor as v8-NeT. I cannot tell...

    Hi everyone, this is Matt from B2 Fabrication

    Sorry all. My question was misleading. I’m actually the opposite. I have a Coyote mustang with a Corsa sport catback and airraid intake. The entire house shakes when I start it in the garage on a cold morning. Second gear leaving my house going up a hill you can hear it three blocks away. It...

    Hi everyone, this is Matt from B2 Fabrication

    So cold morning, you start it in the garage, you don’t hear it in the rest of the house?

    Hi everyone, this is Matt from B2 Fabrication

    @B2 Fabrication very interested in the dr-06 The sound from the clip of @DonsRam19 sounds exactly what I want. I am concerned with how loud it is. When you post your stock vs dr-06 clips, any chance you can hold a decibel meter in the video? There are free iPhone apps that do it. Any chance...

    Homelink Horrible Range?

    Same as other responses. Same if not better range than other vehicles. At least 50 feet out of line of sight.

    Who all has NOT had problems?

    5000 miles, 6 months and the only problems are ones I caused myself. You have to look at the posting dates and understand the manufacture time frame for trucks on those posts. The two problems you referenced were mostly early build trucks. I know the brake squeal was. It was bad pads and they...

    Air conditioning performance

    I just thought that was the dumbest intentional design I ever saw in automatic HVAC. I never even thought that might be a fixable defect. I guess I should complain about that and see what happens. My other favorite screwup of this system is how the recirculate likes to switch off on its on...

    Does Gas count against capacity limit

    As a follow up to my original post: I am now certain it includes full fluids. I took my truck to a scale with a full tank, me, and my 115 lbs of bed accessories. The sticker was actually conservative meaning it was padded a bit and I had a bit more capacity than it said. But it was still pretty...

    Back up auto break.

    After 4000 miles and multiple activations when I was real close, I had my first ever time it went off for no good reason. I was backing out of my garage as I do everyday. But on this particular day it decided it didn't want me to leave. I kept pulling forward and it kept slamming on the brakes...

    CarPlay minimum volume with mapping

    I wonder why they have minimums on any of this stuff. Let me set it and forget it. But if they do, perhaps they should not have used the hard of hearing guy to figure out what they should be. The truck is QUIET but it seems these minimums were designed for a noisy vehicle.
