    beefing up payload

    There is no such thing, honestly. you *could* replace the axles and all the suspension with HDparts...but why on earth would you? The only viable tool to accomplish this is www.autotrader.com.

    Ram Leaks Images Of New Range Extended Ramcharger Model

    Many of those countries running diesel are trying desperately to get rid of it. In Germany for example, most major cities do not allow older diesels in their downtown areas anymore, and the federal government there is squeezing the emissions so tight that most manufacturers are killing diesels...

    Brake Replacement?

    I changed mine at 112K. The rears were at 10% remaining, the fronts were easily still 50%+ still remaining...that surprised me. I replaced with premium level from Advance Auto and I am VERY pleasantly surprised with the performance...definitely better than OEM. And my brake moan kit works...

    Any idea what this creaking noise could be?

    I couldn't hear it very well in the video, but if it's coming from the front end I know there's been a bit of discussion on Front sway bar bushings. Just a thought...

    New to Ram

    Nice Truck! Welcome! Having had GM's and Fords I can surely say this 5th gen 1500 is the nicest driving, most user-friendly vehicle I've ever had. Just turned 120K and I remain as impressed as I was the day I got it. Not saying its perfect by any means, but for a full size truck it's comfort...

    LED Lights on 2024 RAM

    Been that way for a while...BigHorns standard with Halogen. You can get LED headlights as an option, or jump to Laramie. they are well worth it in my opinion.

    Made the step up

    First, OP, Welcome! Posting a pic of the new rig is always encouraged! HemiDude...did you live in a northern climate with snow? We had a 71 Beetle, and it was HORRRRRIBLE in the snow...I could turn that wheel to full lock and that damn thing would still go straight ahead. Made for a truck...

    Dashcams shouldn't be this difficult!

    So OP, you've been wrong on every point you attempted to make about the Ram engineers being stupid morons, and then continued to argue against correct information with people that were simply trying to help you out despite all that, and yet, no humility, no apology, no "gee whiz fellas, I guess...

    Flickering 12 inch screen 2019 laramie longhorn

    My first thought would be to pull the screen out and check the connections behind it. It's rather easy if you've not done that yet. I'm hoping that your problem is fixed easily, quickly and cheaply!

    Harmon Kardon Sound System and 12" Nav Screen... are they 'worth it'???

    Looks like the HK decision is clear, though I'll add my "yes" as well. I've also got a Laramie with the HK and the 12". For me both of these things were "nice to have", not on my must have list when buying. Now that I've had the 12" screen I've come to really like it and know I would miss...

    Tapping into hitch harness

    FWIW I spliced into mine for both strip lights in the bed and accessory reverse lights mounted to my trailer hitch. Pretty easy if you're comfortable with splicing.

    Better 3rd brake light gasket?

    this is what I used...works perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1QHA8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Windshield sensor?

    I think it's simply a light sensor for automatic headlights, and it could be for both the lights and the auto wipers.

    Lifetime Tire Alignment at Firestone

    I had it on my Grand Cherokee, and had to replace UCA's and they aligned it afterwards, no issue. Not sure all locations would do the same. I have done it on several vehicles and got my money's worth every time.

    Real world mpg with hemi etorque

    And I'm tired of people suggesting that MPG shouldnt be important to truck owners. It's important to me because it is one of many factors that go into my decision on which truck to buy. We all have different reasons/priorties/uses...and if one of mine isn't one of yours then just move on, as I...

    How many miles a year do you put on your RAM?

    Correct. Runs great. Had the leaky brake light, and a cracked manifold, otherwise...Love this truck!

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S

    I totally agree with this. I've had Mich Def LTX tires on a 4Runner, a GMC Sierra, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and now my Ram 1500. Always liked them and remain very impressed with their handling of snow, ice, rain, light off-roading, etc but they are noticeably louder on this truck. Not sure if...

    Front dome light switch

    Welcome and that is likely called overhed console switch or switch assembly. You can probably buy just the switch. Search the web for "mopar parts online" You will find plenty of resources there.
