    A/C performance during this heat wave

    I might do that as a last resort. As of right now, the A/C performs OK at nite time, on cloudy day's & after I've been driving at highway speeds for about 15 mins or so. The Temps coming out of all the HVAC vents have been consistency the same. The issue I'm having now is when the Truck has sat...

    5th Generation Ram bed extender

    I've just ordered a Mopar bed extender for my truck. I have the factory spray in bedliner. I've noticed on the youtube videos I've seen, The last generation Ram had dimples on both side of the Bed wall that has to be drilled to create a hole for the mounting screws. My truck doesn't have this...

    A/C performance during this heat wave

    For the next few days, the ambient daytime temp. is going to be around 100 F. I've tried somethings that will hopefully improve the time it takes the cabin to cool. 1.) I bought a heavy duty sunshade for my windshield from Auto Zone. (Haven't used one of those since the late 1990's). 2.) Prior...

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    After running 3 tanks of 89 octane fuel, I put 87 octane back in the tank and lost only a half MPG (from 15.4 to 14.9 MPG during mixed driving). The one thing that I think is helping is the gas station I usually fill up is ALWAYS busy, so there is always a constant supply of fresh fuel. The...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    A little late to this board. I bought my truck on 6/6/19. The sticker on my Laramie Longhorn was $61,100. The Out-the-door price was $51,700 including tax & tags. I was also able to secure a 3.9% interest rate on a 72 month loan. I traded in a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 45K mile and...

    Air conditioning performance

    The one thing you'll have to do if you bring the truck in for engine/HVAC warranty repair is to remove the Ball Valve to the heater core before bringing it to the dealer because they could deny the claim since you altered the coolant flow to the heater core.

    Climate control on auto randomly shuts down

    When your A/C acted up, was it running for only a few minutes or for a while?

    Climate control on auto randomly shuts down

    On my truck, I've driven consistently with the A/C on for 3 hours and it's never shut down. The first 3 times it done it, the A/C was running less than 5 minutes. Today it was running for 15 minutes. If my blower had a overheating problem, you would think it would of shut down several times...

    Climate control on auto randomly shuts down

    I just contacted Ram Cares on this site and told them I want the A/C shutting off and it's lackluster performance looked into ASAP. We're supposed to take the truck on a road trip next week & don't want this to fail completely during the trip.

    Climate control on auto randomly shuts down

    When I eventually bring it to the dealer, I'll mention the underwhelming A/C performance too. Can't hurt at this point.

    Climate control on auto randomly shuts down

    When my truck did it, the cabin was far from the desired temperature.

    Climate control on auto randomly shuts down

    My A/C randomly shut off for the third time since I purchased the truck last month. The first two times it did it during the first 2 minutes of driving. Today, I was driving for about 15 minutes. I had just put the truck in reverse to back into a parking space when it shut down. All 3 times, the...

    3.92 gears with 33” or 34” Tires

    Can you have a speedo re-flash for it to read correctly when using larger tires?

    Can’t believe this gas hog

    That's about right. I actually wanted to get the 3.31 gear with my truck. The 3.92 gearing was the only thing I didn't want with my truck. The dealer gave me a purchase price I couldn't refuse so I'll just live with it.

    Can’t believe this gas hog

    My bad. It's actually .50 cents a gallon more. I fuel up on the Pennsylvania/Delaware border. Alot of people from PA fuel up in Delaware because it's about .30 cents a gallon cheaper.

    Gas question

    Having managing a Coastal station ages ago,We would purchase the brand of fuel which was cheapest at the time. We were independently owned. I'm not sure if there's any independently owned Shell gas stations, but there's plenty of other brands that are independently owned. Another thing was is...

    Air conditioning Hack

    My post was not about harming the system, it's about weakening the heater hose & causing it to prematurely fail.

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    I average about 12.4 mpg on 87 octane and 13.8 mpg on 89 octane (80% stop & go driving and 20% highway driving) I average 18.8 mpg during highway driving on 89 octane. The verdict is still out on weather it's worth paying a extra .25 cent a gallon for 89 octane fuel.

    The internet causes truck terminal illness...and other things that baffle me

    Since I never owned a Pick Up truck before this, I rented a Ford F-150 Crew Cab for a couple days before purchasing my Ram. I put it through every type of driving imaginable ( Stop & go driving, highway driving, parking etc). Since considering investing in a 50k+ vehicle, it may be worth wile...

    Air conditioning Hack

    Clamping the hose could cause it to prematurely fail. It's not designed for that.
