    Anti spin or not?

    You can get by without one, usually, if you know how to drive in snow and have good tires. I prefer to have one (or the e-locker) to give you some extra options/convenience in the white stuff and mud, and wouldn't buy a truck without one myself, but its not the end of the world.

    Driving in snow

    Sorry, a little under the weather today, completely missed that. :ROFLMAO: Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed it.

    Driving in snow

    Up here is a chain of large Lowes-type stores called Menards. They sell 70-lb "sand tubes" (skinny bags). I used to have four to five of them for my previous trucks (especially my 2014) for extra traction, as even with good tires, it helped a lot. They'd usually last two winters before...

    2022 Ram Uconnect 5 Issue

    Does UConnect 5 have a listener profile setup, similar to the UConnect 4 units? Many UConnect 4 units would do that (especially the 12" ones) until a "listener profile" was created under the SiriusXM settings.

    Ram GT Super Performance Hood

    Actually, to quote a movie from a few years ago, I believe it's "smiles per gallon."

    Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

    Correct. For a traditional funnel/oil change, you need to pop just the top off, which does not even involve a tool. If you have a really bendy funnel, you don't even need to do that. (I have yet to explore this option, as popping the top/lid off is super easy.)

    Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

    I like mine for many reasons, but bang-for-the-buck is not one of them. If you are looking for a good power-gain/positive-effects to $ ratio, this is not an efficient upgrade, especially if you already have a larger filter (like the S&B). If you like the looks of the Mopar unit better, then do...

    Backup Cam Blue Screen of Death

    Give it a day and a couple on/off cycles. Mine did the same thing when I unplugged the rear wiring harness (with battery disconnected). It came back after about 24 hours or so and one or two cycles. If that doesn't help, then yes, dealership unfortunately.

    A Pillar/ Ditch Light Brackets Coming Soon Plus Other News

    Very cool! From my experience with playing around with HIDs/LEDs with my previous 2014 Ram, Diode Dynamics is a decent, quality manufacturer. Still very happy with my rear tow hooks and brackets that you hooked me up with. Can't wait to see you offer other items!

    How many miles did your new Ram come with on the odometer

    10 miles. The dealership had it on their website before it arrived on the lot, and thats where I saw it first, as I had a specific set of options I was looking for. I went to look at it as soon as it got there, so I was the first and only test driver (as long as you don't count the guy that...

    21 Ram Limited w Air Suspension Lift Kit

    Welcome aboard! If you do some looking or searching over in the suspension sub-category, I believe there are a couple threads (or more) about various lifts for the air suspension. https://5thgenrams.com/community/forums/suspension.9/ Hope that helps!

    Is air suspension worth it?

    The 4th gen Rams had some reported issues with it, especially early in its introduction. They were far from widespread, but not unheard of. That's why I got my 2014 Longhorn without it (but pretty much every other option). As others have stated, these 5th gens seem to have a more robust system...

    Navigation update, anyone try it yet? (2021 Map Update for Uconnect® 4C NAV w/ 12" touchscreen (v3 SBX): For U.S. Only)

    I am the manager for an IT Service Desk... don't get me started on Microsoft's software habits. ;)

    No tail lights on my 2021 RAM

    I'd reinstall the halogen headlights, and see if the issues all go away. I know it sounds weird that headlights would cause taillight issues, but when wires connect where they aren't supposed to, it can cause issues everywhere. If the issues go away, then I'd reach out to Morimoto, or wherever...

    Navigation update, anyone try it yet? (2021 Map Update for Uconnect® 4C NAV w/ 12" touchscreen (v3 SBX): For U.S. Only)

    They may release one more in another year or two, as its definitely a cash grab. But I can see your point too, FCA tends to provide little support once the systems get a few years on them.

    Transmission Skid Plate Install

    Wow, quite a bit cheaper than the Dethloff. Nice work.

    Transmission Skid Plate Install

    Nice work, looks factory. I went the Dethloff route myself to give some protection in that area, and no removal for oil changes (has a little hole in the right spot). How much does this part cost?

    After market skid plates for 5th Gen RAMS?

    I have the Dethloff, and it complements the factory skids nicely. It is heavy; without a lift, I had an interesting time installing it by myself. So far, no complaints.

    Navigation update, anyone try it yet? (2021 Map Update for Uconnect® 4C NAV w/ 12" touchscreen (v3 SBX): For U.S. Only)

    Forgive me if this is a dumb question. I know the map update itself has this, its always had some method of making sure you cannot reuse it/resell it. However, does the software update you're supposed to do before the map update have a similar or same process? I wonder if that USB stick can be...

    RAM 1500 Limited

    Sounds to me like you need to find a different dealership, to be honest. There are, unfortunately, a fair share of bad ones out there, or ones that will have a great sales department, but terrible service department, or vice versa.
