    If you've had the rear window leak...

    This. I had one crack last month. Have a second one I noticed during the repair. Here's what I used to seal the window: 3M Controlled-Flow Seam Sealer, 08329 You'll need this: Innovations 200 ml (1:1 and 2:1) 26:1 High Thrust Dual Component Cartridge Gun. Highly recommend this tape: 3M...

    Anyone go 1500 to 2500?

    I had a 2020 2500 Cummins. I leveled it and swapped to Bilstein shocks with Thuren trackbar and swaybar. Also had 17"s on it with 35" tires. It rode better than my 1500 Rebel - by a lot. If you switch to a Cummins get the Banks boost tubes (Boost Tube Upgrade Kit). The OEM ones suck. Mine...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    The rear window frame cracks. If you have this issue you'll see the cracks on the inside top frame and also on the outside. Mine cracked on both sides of the rear slider. I filled mine with 2-part 3M urethane. Even though I should be in the XL1 warranty extension list based on my option codes...

    FINALLY found my truck's towing and payload capacities!

    I've never seen a 1/2 ton truck max out towing before payload. 1370 lbs 2 adults = 350 lbs Only 1020 lbs left for your tongue weight and the weight of your hitch & ball. And these are crew cab trucks so you could have 4 adults in there, leaving you only about 670 lbs of available payload...

    Mold Under Rear Seats

    Are you still under the 3/36 warranty? Then you'll likely get all that replaced. I did due to the sunroof drain issues. Interior completely removed and new carpet installed under warranty. Are you out of that? Then nope.

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    Yes, the Stellantis service departments ARE swamped. https://datahub.transportation.gov/stories/s/NHTSA-Recalls-by-Manufacturer/38mw-dp8u/ Ford has had 31 recalls for about 3.63 MM vehicles. Stellantis has had 31 recalls for about 2.26 MM vehicles. Ford sells about 400k more vehicles per year...

    The apparently all too common water leak

    It's a good thing that Ram doesn't make boats...

    Rear window leak

    24 hour cure time. Not a good option for summers here in CO where it might rain literally every single afternoon. The 08323 cures in 4 hours so I can do it on Saturday morning. Compatible guns on Amazon were $30. Regarding overkill... Maybe but I'd rather just do it once and be done. All in its...

    Rear window leak

    I ordered 3M 08323 "factory match seam sealer" and a 2 part dual epoxy gun for this repair. It appears that it's the best 3M option and lines up with the factory "fix" for this issue now specified on the new TSB as 2-part urethane adhesive. The other 3M 2-part urethane adhesives appear to have...

    Rear window leak

    @RamCares What's with all the trucks that don't have the XL1 code attached to their VINs even though they have build dates prior to 9/30/2020 and have the backlight option codes listed on the warranty extension? It really looks like Ram doesn't stand behind their products. I mean, you guys...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Pretty unbelievable. XL1 for the rear window is not attached to my VIN even though my 2019 should be covered by build date and options codes listed on the TSB - and I even received the warranty letter. Last Stellantis product ever for me. I've never had so much trouble (multiple times) getting...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Ram dealer needed photos of all over the truck to send to Stellantis. "To make sure we aren't gaming the system." Yes, because the dealer isn't jam packed with service and warranty work anyway... Estimated 3+ month wait for the window. I'll be accessing the RF hub so I can cover it with a...

    Service Required messages and Warning Light after battery died whilst using AlfaOBD tool

    IIRC 194 liters is the highest you can set the computer to. If the battery died during a computer change you probably need to see a dealer. Did you save you initial config in Alfa? Try getting you battery charged and then reload that config.

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Put in the pacbrake kit yesterday. Easy peasy. Torque wrench and crows foot adapters helped.

    2019 1500 DT Exhaust Tips

    My tips were welded on very short pipes that are clamped to the main exhaust system. Look under your truck.
