    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    20 days later and the dealer called to say my parts are in. Now I just need to get over there so they can install them. Not sure it'll fix anything but it doesn't happen too often so we'll see.

    Bed Divider Needed for Hauling Smaller Items

    This is what I'm doing. Will run you about $50 w/ tax. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/bed-storage-alternatives.16725/post-256123 Or if you're looking for something cheaper you can just cut a 2x6 to the width of the bed and drop it into the slot on each side between the wheel well...

    Rear window surround crack.

    Silverado Facebook groups are filled with people having the same issue. Not sure how Ram typically handles the repairs, if it's in-house or to a glass shop, but a lot of Chevy repairs have been done by techs who obviously don't know what they're doing - they apply caulk all the way around the...

    Want to by used. Rental agency and high mileage after one year?

    Where are you located? I live in Illinois and found a dealer that had 5-6 2019's - V8, crew cab, 4x4, level 2 package and around 15,000 miles for just over $33k. No 3.92 though. Mine stickered for $48k, bought it for $32,800 with 11,000 miles. I couldn't find anywhere else in a 200 mile...

    Winter/Rubber Floormatts

    Just to be more clear... The regular Weathertech mats are still plasticy. The new 3D mats are more rubbery. https://www.weathertech.com/blog/product_spotlight/new_weathertech_3d_floor_mats/

    Winter/Rubber Floormatts

    We've had Weathertech's in our last 5 vehicles but I had the dealer throw in Mopar mats when I bought the Ram. They are fantastic, fit is great, I like that they're more rubbery and not super slick like other made to fit mats, and they're also quite a bit cheaper. Couldn't be happier with...

    CarPlay Question (Speakers)

    I bought my 2019 Big Horn used a few weeks ago. I've only used Apple Maps through Carplay a couple times. Yesterday it seemed like the audio for the directions was only coming through speakers by the driver. I didn't really notice that the first time I used it. I assume that's normal but...

    Bed Storage Alternatives

    Those do look nice! My truck came with a plastic drop-in, probably won't get the spray-in until January. So I'll need to see if they fit. Will just try them right in the parking lot in case I need to return them. Thanks for the pics!

    Bed Storage Alternatives

    When you get a sec can you post a pic of these in your truck? Been looking for a cheap solution and you can't beat $25.

    Finish this sentence: "If I had it all to do over again with my Ram 1500, I would _______________."

    I bought mine used and had to stay around $32k so I couldn't really pick and choose what I wanted. I'm very happy with what I ended up with so nothing I'd "do over." Got a 2019 w/ 11,000 miles - crew cab, V8, 4x4, and level 2 package. I think the only things I'd like to have that I don't have...

    2020 Big Horn - Ridiculous they still are leaking

    What's crazy is it's not just Ram, Silverado's are having the exact same issue. I don't know if they're using the same supplier or what but you'd think between the two of them they'd get this figured out. I would think they'd rather not pay to have all these windows replaced. Bought mine used...

    Why Rams still have a reputation for poor quality

    One of the main complaints seems to be the rear window frame cracking and/or leaking but Chevy's are experiencing the exact same thing so that's not Ram specific. Other than that I don't see a lot of common complaints. What bothers me most (from reading others experiences) is not so much the...

    Check in if you just don't care about modding anymore

    Good to see I'm not the only one. Bought a used 2019 a few weeks ago. It has a plastic drop-in liner, I plan on replacing that with a spray-in liner and adding a hard folding cover, other than that I'm pretty happy with it as it sits. I wouldn't trade our paid-off house, college funds, and...

    Let’s See Your Window Decals

    Surprisingly I couldn't find a thread on this so I figured I'd start one. Just added a White Sox decal to my “new to me” 2019. Not really planning any mods beyond a spray-in liner and tonneau cover so I figured I'd add a little something to make it mine. Let’s see your window decals (or...

    Push Button Start Question

    Not sure but I would think something like this would work, seems like it should be out of range to start the vehicle...

    Growling brakes in Reverse!

    There's a TSB for it... https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/directory-of-service-bulletins-recalls-ram-1500.775/ See "April 25, 2019 - Rear Brake (Moan) Noise - # 05-002-19" under brakes.

    What’s with salespeople these days?

    I had a similar experience a few weeks ago when I bought my used 2019 from a Dodge/Ram dealer. Thought we had a deal but they misunderstood what I wanted to be OTD for and we were actually a few thousand dollars apart. Told him I'd try to sell my trade myself and if I could I'd be back. He...

    Brake Pedal Makes Clicky Sound

    Searched but couldn't find anything on this. Bought my used (12,000 miles) 2019 2 weeks ago. This morning I took it to the dealer to have them troubleshoot the "brake moan" issue. They found the TSB, ordered the parts, and sent me on my way. On the way home I noticed the brake pedal was...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Took mine in this morning, didn’t mention the TSB, they found it in their own and are ordering the parts. He said they’re backordered and wasn’t sure how long they’d take but hopefully we’ve seen the last of our really cold mornings and I won’t have to worry about it anyway.

    Added Wireless QI Charger to my 2020 Ram Bighorn

    I think that looks real nice. If it weren't for Carplay I definitely would have done this.
