    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Still offering 20% on oldest inventory Big Horn/Lone Star. If it's a volume dealer, that can still be pretty recent. Smaller dealer, you might be looking at something pretty dang old. Look at the window sticker on the dealer site and at the bottom you can see the build date.

    Air conditioning performance

    Agree with you. It sounds like the dealer misinterpreted and messed up. But why can't we just get a clear answer from anybody what the level is supposed to be (and on what trucks) as it is obvious that it was changed somewhere along the line?

    Air conditioning performance

    Sounds like exactly what happened on post #18 here. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/hvac-squeak-after-truck-is-shut-down.10751/

    Air conditioning performance

    Agreed. Not sure why I would need a diagnosis at the dealer to determine if my charge sticker is right, but that's what I was advised by RamCares when inquiring this exact question. Shouldn't the question of "what is the correct AC fill capacity?" be as simple to answer as what is the correct...

    Air conditioning performance

    That's the question, in my eyes. Did they change something in response to a flaw they found and subsequent fix, or did they flaw changing something, creating worse cooling? Seems there is not any clarity in what sticker and fill level is actually correct. Or could two different levels be...

    Tonneau Cover advice

    My understanding id they are exactly the same other than gloss/matte finish and branding. But I've never seen the Bakflip, so I can't say anything for certain. Here's a couple videos of open/close, that probably answers what you want to know. Very simple to do one handed while recording in...

    Air conditioning performance

    Narrowing the sticker change from 567g to 510g to be somewhere between May 18 and July 18. Timeframe might allude to a Ram making a change in sticker/AC workings in response to people complaining of poor air conditioning performance at onset of summer 18?

    Air conditioning performance

    You have narrowed the window of when the sticker changed to somewhere between May and November 2018.

    Multifunction Tailgate unorderable??

    If the brackets at cab are necessary to reduce force when the tailgate swings open, it might make sense that it doesn't get optioned onto the long bed. Longer bed = longer lever arm = more force applied.

    Air conditioning performance

    Not sure exactly if this is what you are looking for, but I'm in south Texas. The only driving I've done is between 90 and 105 degrees ambient outside temp to this point, almost always in excess of 60% humidity. I only use auto, typically set about 67 when I start truck. After about one or...

    Air conditioning performance

    I posted in the other thread with an explanation for the two stickers. Looks like it got updated at some point from version AA to version AB, with a decrease in the AC charge. The questions are when, why, and was this the correct decision or a mistake?

    HVAC Squeak after truck is shut down

    The 2019 DT doesn't have a 3.0 L engine as far as I can tell. That looks like an old label from the previous generation 1500 that offered the 3.0L ecodiesel. The part numbers are the same (68277016) but yours is variant AA, whereas mine is AB. That should signify that my sticker is more...

    HVAC Squeak after truck is shut down

    Such an obvious answer to the original question. Why the hell didn't I think of this, lol. Well done @Tom488 . Would love to see your new sticker @Ram79hemi .

    Am I Clueless? Later Model 2019 Build

    March 29 build. Only "problems" I've run into are A. Squealing noise after engine off. Not sure what it is at this point, but best explanation this far is AC related, and my AC is solid. B. Maybe ever so slight wind noise from maybe ever so slightly misaligned driver side rear door. I go...

    Air conditioning performance

    Yay math! Exactly the question I posed in the other thread. I don't really know; I'm sure there is someone with enough AC expertise around who does though.

    Air conditioning performance

    Thanks @Tom488 . So the dealer description on the service post was wrong and our stickers were right. As I expected. (Unless there's an even bigger conspiracy, lol) Either way, this is why Im hesitant to take the squeal to the dealer since my AC is working well. The original poster said that...

    Different issue.

    Air conditioning performance

    I contacted RamCares about this, provided them my sticker and VIN. The response was: "Unfortunately we do not have the resources to look into this on our end, so a formal diagnosis by your dealer is required. However, we are more than happy to document this inquiry within your case so that your...

    Tonneau Cover advice

    It hasn't rained yet. Have some in the forecast tomorrow and Friday (of course, I just washed my truck for the first time in 3 weeks last night). I'll keep updated.
