    Detailing , upkeep...tried a new product and was very pleased.

    That was one of the ones i looked at, but being that i don't have a garage to keep the truck out of the sun, i needed some quick, that is how i ended up with the Sonax. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Detailing , upkeep...tried a new product and was very pleased.

    Looked into it, just couldn't justify the money. I did a bunch of research , guess I should have done more. What coating did you go with ?

    Detailing , upkeep...tried a new product and was very pleased.

    Ignore my hand gesture, i was saying hi to a buddy...Lol When new ,the truck had a coating of Sonax Polymer applied (don't really think that did much), When washing,I use a foam cannon with Chemical Guys honeydew snow foam, and then go over the truck with Mequiar's Ultimate Fast Finish. Did that...

    Detailing , upkeep...tried a new product and was very pleased.

    I'm a freak about keeping my vehicles clean. Here in MI this year it has been tough, with rain every few days or more. I've gotten my washing process down to 2 hrs so it still is a pain in the ***. I was looking for something that can help in between full on hand washes. I found a product...

    Music w/ 128GB Flash Drive - SOLUTION!!

    Think I found my issue. When I download my music it comes in a winzip file. I will open that file with windows explorer and drag and drop to the usb stick. For some reason, those folders don't get picked up by Uconnect. If I create a new folder, and drop the mp3 files into it, Uconnect works...

    What model / trim did these wheels come on ?

    I don't remember seeing these when I ordered my Laramie. Had I , I would have went with them instead of the 20's I ended up with. https://audiocityusa.com/shop/images/D/22-Ram-1500-wheels-FR-76-Gloss-Black-OEM-Replica-rims-audiocityusa-0.jpg

    USB thumb drive: music files

    I am currently trying to use a 128 USB drive. So far , after much frustration I have gotten it to work, somewhat. For whatever reasons, not all of my music will work with the voice commands. I have to search by artist or folder. Same with songs, I can find a folder for instance "red hot chili...

    Music w/ 128GB Flash Drive - SOLUTION!!

    Just when I thought I had it figured out, I find I don't. This is getting frustrating, so much I might just go back to plugging an MP3 player back in. I added some music yesterday, and this morning I plug it in and nothing. Not a single song showed up. I just don't get it, I didn't do...

    6,000-7,000 miles MPG Info Sharing

    When towing though, I have the cruise set at 73 for those numbers. I'm guessing load is around #3000

    Quality?? Maybe I'm just knit picking

    Love my Ram but I feel it has one of the worst paint jobs I've seen on a new truck. Sure , it is glossy and all when it is clean but the orange peel and the durability of it is horrible. My truck has 5000 miles on it and for that amount of driving I feel the paint just doesn't look like...

    6,000-7,000 miles MPG Info Sharing

    I'm in the same boat. It is very disappointing. And forget getting eco mode to come on at any speed over 50. I just can't understand how a vehicle with 3.92's, 8spd transmission and mds can't get over 17mpg at 70-75mph. And I've found towing smaller weights with the tow mode off, gets better...

    Music w/ 128GB Flash Drive - SOLUTION!!

    I've been able to get my 128usb to work , but I have found that for whatever reason Uconnect just doesn't see some of the folders. For instance, I had a folder on the usb for "red hot chili peppers" , Uconnect did not pick it up. I plugged the usb into my computer created a new folder , moved...

    Recommend best MP3 player for Uconnect

    Okay, got this figured out ...sort of. I now can see all my songs but only if I "browse" by folder, and voice recog doesn't work. I think it is an easy fix though. What I found was through the years as I was adding content on my media player, somehow some of the songs we added under an...

    Recommend best MP3 player for Uconnect

    File tags ? If there were errors, is it something I can fix or is it with the .mp3 file ? And I agree, the USB set up is very cool.

    Recommend best MP3 player for Uconnect

    Did this over the weekend. For the most part it worked, although for some reason the truck isn't picking up every song that is on the USB stick. For instance, I have 3 albums of Jane's Addiction loaded on the stick, only two show up. I'll have to try and figure out why, if not I guess go back...

    Recommend best MP3 player for Uconnect

    Yes, I am still one of the few that has a dedicated MP3 player. Currently using an old Galaxy Player , it is fine except to manipulate through music I have to do it on the player and not on the Nav screen. UConnect doesn't recognize the player. I have to switch to media/then the button with the...

    Can’t believe this gas hog

    Why couldn't they offer something like a 3:42 or 3:55 gear. The 3:21 just seemed so high for towing when I ordered mine. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

    Found something interesting while towing this past week.

    I towed a 7x14 single axle (landscaping style) trailer this holiday week. It had a SxS and a sport quad on it I'm guessing a total weight of 3500 lbs or just shy of it. On the way up to our cabin I had it in Tow/Haul mode. My mileage up was 11.5 , running with the cruise set at 73mph On the...

    Can’t believe this gas hog

    Pretty much the only thing I'm disappointed about with my truck, is the mileage. I've got 4700 miles on it and the best I've seen so far has been 17.5 on a hilly back road road trip running 60-63mph. My daily commute, which is only a total of 16 miles I generally see 13 ish. I've got 3.92 gears.
