    USB not functional - truck sitting in sun on hot day - USB recovers after ~30 minutes of A/C

    I don't believe the back USB ports are supposed to sync. For us, we don't want to sync. So for charging, we use the UBS port inside the console lid hooked to a dedicated cable. It seems to just provide power and doesn't affect the stereo when plugged into a cell phone. I wish FCA had put a...

    Would not having the advance safety group stop you ordering?

    I was told that originally, Group B would have the Blind Spot Monitoring, but FCA ran out. So it was removed from the package. When we were looking for a truck to buy earlier this month, most Rams we found with Blind Spot monitoring were Level 1 and Level 2 trucks built pre-shortage. The 2021...

    USB not functional - truck sitting in sun on hot day - USB recovers after ~30 minutes of A/C

    I suspect the technician would need to repeat the problem in order to have your warranty pay for the repair. Unlike some bad experiences posted on this forum, the local dealership service departments where I live usually welcome any warranty work. But how hard they work to repeat an...

    2019 5th Gen 5.7 V8 Hemi - dies when coming to a stop

    If this was an older Ram, say it sound like a finicky idle air control valve. The kind that works most of the time but sometimes sticks after the engine is thoroughly heated up. But with these new trucks, I cannot say for sure?

    Active air ram delete from factory?

    When not under load, the air moving through the intercooler doesn't require that much cooling, if any at all. Many of the diesel engines in big trucks didn't even have intercoolers until the early-1970's. Cummins started using them (water cooled versions) at that time when they went from the...

    Cooper Discoverer A/T LT265/70R17 121S Tires - WHAT AM I MISSING?

    I need a new set of tires for my 2003 Dodge Ram Quadcab. I've been running BFGoodrich Rugged Trails for about 15 years. But now they are hard to find and cost a pretty penny. Today I found these Cooper tires on the Walmart website and they are DIRT CHEAP. I know Cooper is a discount brand...

    Active air ram delete from factory?

    So they've got shutters now for the turbo intercooler. That's pretty "cool". 😃

    Active air ram delete from factory?

    Starting in 2019 the RAM 1500 DT comes standard with two aerodynamics-focused moving parts: A standard active air dam that lowers itself 2.5 inches from the front of the 1500 whenever the truck nears 35 mph. The exception is the Ram 1500 whose owners bought the air suspension option. This...

    Does Your Truck Have A Name???

    Looks like we will either be calling it "Your truck" meaning my wife's truck. Or we will call it the Laramie since we already have another (Dodge) Ram truck. But I do have a truck with a name. It's my 1984 Chevy C30 one-ton. Back when I was a private contractor, it was one of two...

    Ram Sells The Most Full Sized Pickups In Q2 2021!

    I'm not sure Ram is much better. It wasn't that easy to find new RAM's with blind spot sensors. We looked long and hard. And like the one we bought, most of the ones we found were built pre-shortage. These were mostly Laramies and Limiteds at small dealerships in small towns where they...

    my 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn Air Conditioning

    Glad that worked for you. We just bought a new Laramie. It's an early production 2021 made in September 2020. Had 10 miles on it when we got it. It now has almost 1,500 miles. The AC works about the same as in our last two Dodge Chargers. When we first start the truck on a hot day, it...

    Unknown knob on 2021 Ram

    Well, if it's not a dimmer or remote bass control, then my alternate vote is a self-destruct button. 🙃
