    what is this tiny button by the hood release? (pics)

    Still laughing at the $600 nitrogen fill. I'd tell them I don't like nitrogen - swap it out for regular air. I'm in a negotiation process order a new GMC. Hey - NO ADDONS, NO STICKERS/Fabric Protector/Paint Sealer - none of that crap... Rick

    Anybody wish they had bought a different vehicle?

    I get it - but if you're doing Black/SUV or Lyft Lux/Black/XL - it's a significantly higher rate, plus it weeds out the riffraff. It's not my primary source of income - but I appreciate the advice. Rick

    Multifunction Tailgate Retrofit

    Right? I say - find someone with an MFT - that would be willing to pull his off and see if it will drop into a regular tailgate truck. They DO come out (as do regular tailgates - GET A LOCK to keep it from being STOLEN - first mod I bought - not sure what I did with the KEY though). I...

    K&N Throttle Control Module

    First off - it only seems to be available for CLASSIC Ram - not the NEW (DT) Rams. At least, according to K&N's Website. Uses a manual KNOB (instead of software or app), which means you need to find a place to PUT THE KNOB. I can honestly say with the PedalCommander, once I found the "perfect...

    Wet interior / Mildew smell

    Rear window frame - 3rd brake Light - or the ubiquitous sunroof drains. Though I've never heard of the sunroof drains causing headliner staining or wet seats - only wet floorboards. But check THEM ANYWAYS - as you could be having a COMBINATION of issues. If you look with a flashlight at the...

    Anybody wish they had bought a different vehicle?

    Can't put passengers under a cap. As I said (and we've discussed in previous posts) - had the new lineup of GM SUV's been out a year ago - I most likely would have went in that direction and never even looked at pickups. Not that there is anything wrong really - with the Ram. Or the things I...

    Anybody wish they had bought a different vehicle?

    Honestly - I'm an SUV guy. When I was shopping for the (necessary) replacement for my '16 Honda Pilot - everyones's SUV was in the last year (or two) between updates. Would have bought another Pilot - but nothing had been updated since '16 - and I wasn't paying $45K just for "new car smell"...

    TSB to fix our AC Issues

    Are they going to retroactively fix PRIOR YEARS - or are they S.O.L.?

    Cargo Bed Divider

    The bars (sadly) slide around a little - as they were meant to go end-to-end in the bed. Could probably put some washers in to get it tighter onto the rails - but I didn't bother. The cut-down bars give me the flexibility I was looking for in the bed. I can get the divider about a "case of...

    Cargo Bed Divider

    I cut 18" OFF the bars - because they hit both the corner brackets, and the clamp for my bed cover. Brought it to a machinist friends shop - used an industrial bandsaw to cut it. If you have RAMBOXES - this divider will not work - you have to use the other one, that slides into the "grooves"...

    Lane Sense Not Working??

    LKA on this truck S.U.C.K.S. There's nor pretty way to say it. My last car ('16 Honda Pilot) would steer itself on a curvy highway @ 80MPH. For a truck that can PARK ITSELF - I consider the Ram LKA a joke and in poor taste. One of the very very few things I dislike about the truck - but...

    Does DEF always come with full for new RAM 1500?

    Not a part of the negotiations. I get in to drive off the lot, and if the tank isn't full - it gets full before I leave. I have never left the lot, without a full tank. Rick

    Does DEF always come with full for new RAM 1500?

    Dunno about you. I'm spending $40-70K on a new vehicle - damn skippy they're filling my fuel tank up. Rick

    Exploding/Shattered Panoramic Sunroof-2019 Ram 1500 Limited

    Simply stated a fact. Former Honda driver - future Yukon driver - as soon as they start dealing on the '21's. But I still stand by the FACT that tempered glass is used for safety reasons... If I was any calmer, I'd be comatose... Rick

    Exploding/Shattered Panoramic Sunroof-2019 Ram 1500 Limited

    Without nitpicking: You said it - not me. The whole point - could be construed to be the ONLY POINT. So "chill dude"... LOL Rick

    Exploding/Shattered Panoramic Sunroof-2019 Ram 1500 Limited

    That's not the ONLY POINT... Tempered glass is used when strength, thermal resistance, and safety are important considerations. ... Because large, sharp glass shards would present additional and unacceptable danger to passengers, tempered glass is used so that if broken, the pieces are blunt...

    How aggressive or useful is the lanekeeping assist in the 1500?

    Likewise with my '16 Honda Pilot. It was almost Tesla quality auto-pilot. Very disappointing... Rick

    Can't remove one hex head screw to install mud flap

    I had the same thing when I went to do mine. Ended up having the dealer take care of it while I was there - screw was stripped. They couldn't fund the right sized replacement screw - so I'm missing one. Meh... Rick

    Extended Warranty in Florida

    As I commented - I purchased IN FLORIDA - from Riedman, with a Florida address - and paid the NON-FLORIDA PRICE for it. it's a NON-ISSUE if you find a legit FCA dealer, that will charge you the REGULAR PRICE. The particular people I dealt with at Riedman - ALL THEY DO IS SELL FCA WARRANTY...
