    Water in the floor board

    Lol...you tell me? ;) I've had water wick/flow from one place to another.

    Water in the floor board

    Sounds like you've got the rear window leak.

    Dead Battery Poll

    This, coupled with some security bolts, seems like a great idea. Thieves want the quick in and out. Anything that slows them down will induce most of them to go to the next vehicle.

    Need a spare tire rod...any ideas?

    I said nothing about breaking. I just want something simpler than what is currently on board. A bar is pretty easy to store. Heck, I could strap it to my cargo rack. As I mentioned, other vehicles with the cable and winch spare have the winch located so you can see and touch the rotating lug...

    Need a spare tire rod...any ideas?

    This is my thought. Thankfully, unlike you, I have not had to test it in actual field conditions. I've got a high-lift bottle jack and some wood pieces that I keep in the bed in case I need to jack up the truck. I also have a 24" breaker bar and 22mm socket for the lugs. (FWIW, the lowering...

    Need a spare tire rod...any ideas?

    Folks, I want a sturdy piece of metal to raise and lower my spare, not the three (four?) piece Rube Goldberg contraption sitting under the front passenger seat. What works? What do people use? (I'll store it either in the bed or under the rear seat, next to my breaker bar.) Thanks!

    Dealer Quote for Brakes is $2K - Thinking to do it myself

    The PowerStop z36 kit is what I used on a 2007 1500. Perfect swap. Very easy, very good brake kit. OEM is fine. If that's what you're more comfortable doing, then use them. Me? When this Ram needs brakes, I'm going to use PowerStop rotors and pads. (Hell, I may even buy them now, since I don't...

    Air conditioning doesn't cool well

    Lots of threads on this issue. AIUI, it's either a recall or a TSB (<- TSB states to do the repair if customer complains, so about as good as a recall?), and the dealer will fix this. It's a blender door issue??? From what I've read, the fix seems to result in MUCH better cooling.

    Need another switched fuse location...NOT F33 or F66

    I'm pretty sure I went with F48. Gotta get home and double-check. I also have to make sure all 3 of my fuse taps (2 for dashcam, 1 for radar detector) have the "hot" leg oriented correctly.

    Windshield wiper replacement?

    Folks, it's time. ;) What brand and what size wiper blade have you used (that works!) on our trucks? Thanks.

    How many miles on your Eco diesel?

    I have a system. ;) I bought a test-tube thing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X5C2PDL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Whether it's my 50/50 Amsoil Cetane Boost/CleanerLube mix or straight Power Stroke Diesel Kleen (the former for my ecoDiesel, the latter for my TDi)...

    Catch Can for the ecoDiesel without throwing codes?

    I found that it only came off after I'd applied 3.7 Metric Tonnes of Cussing and Swearing. And, obviously, I also had to make a small sacrifice to the blood god. Every project requires that.

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    As others have said, and, repeating myself: until the pumps are replaced, a lubricity additive is your HPFP's best friend. That, and making sure you don't pass air into the HPFP. But, yes, I'll sleep better once the CP4.2 has been replaced with a CP3.

    Need another switched fuse location...NOT F33 or F66

    Folks, I'm using F33 and F66 for my hardwired dashcam. I'm going to add a hardwired radar detector. I want to find another switched fuse location on the interior fuse panel. Any suggestions as to which fuse I should use for my fuse tap? Thanks!

    Parts shortage... When will it end?

    True…but are NOx sensors different? Or any of the other parts that have been complained about due to availability?

    Parts shortage... When will it end?

    Parts: the inventory exists...on the trucks parked in the dealer lots. I would start lemon-lawing the hell out of any long-term delay. The dealership can, for example, remove a NOx sensor from any one of their inventory vehicles and then take it up with corporate to repair it.

    2019 Rebel Rear Window Leaking and Ram Cares

    Nice. I'd market it as "The Ram Scupper" for the next time your Ram leaves you unable to get supper.

    2019 Rebel Rear Window Leaking and Ram Cares

    My bold. You win the Internet Understatement of the Year Award. ;) Good luck. Edited to add: I like tape over the RF module, and I like the Pilkington window solution. I had the repair done (just once...so far), but next time (because we all know there will be a next time), I'll do the...

    Catch Can for the ecoDiesel without throwing codes?

    Here's a (poor) picture of what's collected since I installed the catchcan about 1,800 miles ago. Yeah, just a smidge. That's the line barely visible at the bottom of the sight gauge. But, that smidge is not coating the back of my valves or anything else in the air path.

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    Welcome...and too bad. Being out of warranty, you'll be hanging your hope on a goodwill repair. For that, contact RamCares, found on this forum. Give them a direct message. If that fails, you're going to hope that the class action lawsuit (one is underway) will include you in the eventual...
