    Renew uconnect services

    The only scam I am seeing in this thread is the uconnect service itself. 😜

    Declined the extended warranty dealer pitch

    Darn great list. I can't think of others that I am aware of.

    How do you get your oil changed?

    I did mine the first 3k change and threw on a fumoto plug. It was such a pain getting to the filter and getting a little oil mess that I have been bringing it to the dealer after that. It's worth the $60 for full synthetic and I usually have minor warranty issues to deal with every 8k or so...

    2020 Rebel Top Annoyances

    Decent list, but the telescoping steering wheel is not standard in all Rams? I have it and it works great.

    Power tilt mirror erratic in cold temps

    Thanks, I'll try to wait longer to shift but I suspect my speed in shifting is the same in all weather so something still seems awry. I hope you get more time in your truck once this COVID lifts!

    Power tilt mirror erratic in cold temps

    I have the tow mirrors and I like the power tilt option on the passenger side upon shifting to reverse because I back in to my tight space garage tight and it helps with providing a line of sight with my visual ground markers on that side of the vehicle. During the warm months I never have an...

    2020 ram 3500 laramie 12" uconnect problem

    The old trick is to choose the AM or FM band and then switch back to the source you desire. Not the best solution but worth a try in the meantime until you can get a software fix.

    Tire Fill Assist?

    Used this feature yesterday on my '19 longhorn. It's hit and miss... it honked on two of my tires preventing overfill, and the others never honked and I overfilled by 3 psi until it honked. Nothing beats the old manual guage.

    Deflector Pros and Cons

    I notice less bug splatter since I installed the WT stone and bug. I recommend as well.

    4 Visits, 115Volt outlet will not power Lenovo laptop, Agent says not compatible.

    FWIW, my Lenovo runs fine off the front center console. I use a Lenovo 65W Standard AC Adapter (USB Type-C).

    Buy now or just relax?

    As others noted, this time in December 2018 was a good time to buy. Got something like 14% off msrp, with no rebates... I took the 0%. This year is so much different with the pandemic so if you can be patient I'd wait for supply and demand to adjust until those type of deals can be had again...

    2 Wheel mode vs 4 Auto and mpg

    I notice a slight "droning" sound/feel at lower speeds in 4 auto so I keep it to 2wd unless the weather dictates otherwise,

    A/C Performance

    I'm really glad there are some of you willing to step up first and take one for the team and report back. I'm not rushing in just yet.

    Ridiculously Stupid Good Gas Mileage

    That riding the Eco mode on long stretches is also a pain on the right foot. I find cruise control is not adapted to work with trying to keep it in the sweet spot from my testing.

    Lindsay Dodge and FCA Rant

    That 100k, 10 y "should" transfer with the vehicle. Was it a private warranty or FCA MOPAR warranty? If it transfers, you can figure out the prorated amount of the $3k or so you paid and try to negotiate the trade-in value upward on the basis that an extended warranty should be factored in as...

    Black smoke on cold start?

    Mine was more of a bluish smoke and it happened this morning for the first time. I'm around 17kish miles. I will be monitoring to see if it happens again.

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    Us guys doing our own Ram oil change in our garages, pole barns, driveways, etc., gives us street cred. They did it on purpose for us to exert and feel good about our masculinity after job completion... At least I tell myself that after cursing up a storm with each change. :ROFLMAO:

    Select Tire Fill Alert

    I tested it out for the first time this morning when an alert came on that I was low in one tire. I got the single honk with each tire I filled and quickly detached the air pressure. Went to look afterwards on the dash setting and ended up with everywhere between 36 and 40 psi on the tires...

    I just got my first taste of Ram sticking it to me!

    A lot of people have likened the 12" screen as a nice 70" TV that looks promising on the show room floor, just to find out when you get home it only projects in standard definition. So much promise, but the software and functionality was an afterthought in pre-production. I hope they can make...
