    Slight drone when I have my Ram in 4WD Auto

    When the roads are wet, I usually put my truck in 4WD Auto. When I accelerate, I hear a slight drone coming from the front end of the truck and feel a very slight vibration in my steering wheel. The service 4WD light does not come on. When I put the truck back in 2WD, the droning/vibration...

    No start, needed towed to dealer. Any suggestion would be helpful.

    I wouldn't try to jump the truck. If it's possible, I'd have the dealer tow the truck back to the shop so they can witness the not starting issue themselves. A busy shop/lazy tech might just say, "It starts" and leave it at that, without actually trying to troubleshoot it.

    Clunk over bumps

    My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee did the same thing. Haven't tried towing with the Ram yet. I've been able to use my bed for hauling.

    2019 Ram 1500 Drone Noise

    That noise would drive me up the wall. If they couldn't fix it after 3+ visits, I'd be seeing a Lemon law attorney.

    5th Generation Ram bed extender

    Update: Since I have the 5'7" bed, the extender wouldn't originally clear the rear fender, I had to reposition the P/S bracket to the 10 o'clock position & the D/S bracket to the 2 o'clock position. Now the extender clears the rear of the bike with no problem. I'm covering the 2 original holes...

    5th Generation Ram bed extender

    The assembly and installation of the bed extender is pretty straight forward. The extender comes with templates for the left and right side of the bed. These are well marked & is pretty simple to line the template with where you're supposed to drill the 3 holes on each side for installing the...

    Advice on back-ordered parts

    The body shop could be using the classic "Part is on backorder" line because they're back up or they just don't consider your vehicle a priority.

    Check your doors for alignment. Quality Control

    True, since many of the workers are forced to work mandatory overtime, fatigue sets in and assembly quality slips.

    Gotta Say, these trucks can take a hit.

    I've read of certain states that makes it mandatory to allow diminished value (Don't know how true it is.) Don't know anyone personally who received it. In any case, since your Alfa is pretty rare in the states, there probably not many totaled ones sitting around in junk yards, so OEM parts is...

    Gotta Say, these trucks can take a hit.

    Just make sure you tell your insurance company you want new OEM replacement parts. If you don't tell them that, they will install junk yard/ knock off parts.

    Gotta Say, these trucks can take a hit.

    Of course they're going to tell you that. Insurance companies will try thier damnest not to pay you 1 cent more than they have to. I guarantee you, will will take a loss when you sell/trade it in.

    Gotta Say, these trucks can take a hit.

    That sucks. Glad nobody was hurt. In the event that your truck is not totaled, make sure you do your research for a highly rated Body Shop. This is the type of damage that if it's not repaired correctly, It will lead to all kinds of issues down the road. Also, try to file a diminished value...

    You can also locate your vehicle in the event you can't find it or if it's stolen.

    Uconnect Deceptive Branding & Marketing

    Not a big fan of Guardian. At least for me, it does not work nearly as seemless as the Uconnect in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee did. It's also Alot more distracting to use while driving. Depending on how much the subscription is, I might not even renew it once the free trial is over.

    Your doors will not lock. In fact, your horn will beep twice to tell you your keys are inside.

    2019 RAM 2nd year Registration Fee (CA)

    In Delaware, if you purchase a new vehicle, it doesn't need to be inspected for 5 years. When you have to renew the registration, you must have the state inspection done in order to have the registration renewed. The inspection entails going to the DMV & pulling into a stall and just checking...

    Installing limited slip/axle lock on 3.92 rear Diff

    When I purchased my Ram, it did not come with a limited slip Differential. Is there anyone who had the limited slip installed post-sale? Not having limited slip is sometimes a PITA because when I take off from a stop on a slippery road or gravel, it's easy to spin the rear tires. I knew the...
