    leveling kits

    You can also drop the rear 2" with a set of springs. Cheap, quick, easy, effective. Just depends which way you want to go overall (Lift or drop).

    Excessive play in the rear differential.

    I have randomly heard a similar noise on mine. I'd personally call it normal. Keep in mind that the transfer case (if you have 4wd) will contribute to the noise as well. There is slop by design. Anytime you suddenly load the system, the parts will accelerate through the slop until it they...

    Major issue: Odometer Moving forward with start ups while vehicle is still in Park. 19’ 1500 Longhorn , build date 6/19/19!

    Here is the easy way to see the odometer roll up when opening the door. Why I didn't think to do this earlier is besides me.......:rolleyes: When you shut your truck off, open and close the driver door but don't get out. After a few minutes the cluster goes blank. Open your door and you can...

    Clock SYNC

    I tried that yesterday. It did not work for me. It did reset the clock as it was showing 12:02 when I got in the truck at 5PM. After backing out of the garage, it quickly went back to 1 hour ahead of my current time. Dang.....

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Just ordered up a pair. I need to stay off this site....... :p

    Windows Molding Issue

    Just went and checked mine. 3 of 4 are bowed out to some extent. Add it to the list of things to fix while at the dealer. I'll go there someday, man I hate dealerships......

    Difference in gas mileage between the 3.21 and 3.92?

    I hope you were in the right lane! :) J/K. Those are impressive numbers. I only get about 18-19 or so at those same speeds, more if running with a pack of cars.

    Can anyone actually tell the difference i power between the 5.7 and 5.7 with Etorque? Please post.

    Etorque system is covered in the "emissions" warranty. I see it is only 80k miles, not 100k as I stated above. I'll change that. "Further, as part of the Basic Limited Warranty, the Federal Emission Warranty covers the following parts of the eTorque system for eight years/80,000 miles...

    Can anyone actually tell the difference i power between the 5.7 and 5.7 with Etorque? Please post.

    I did not originally want the etorque system due to the additional complexity and unknown durability, but found the truck I wanted at a killer price, but it had etorque. So I rolled the dice and got it. I have not seen it mentioned before, but the Etorque system has a factory 8 year, 80k mile...

    Advise Needed

    I think you may be surprised if someone was to do a relative and repeatable fuel economy test with 2 identical trucks with the exception that one has a 3.21 rear end vs the other with a 3.92 rear end. At 80MPH, your truck is fighting a huge amount of aerodynamic drag. It takes the same amount...

    Good to know. Thanks

    Service Trip #4 AC/Vents

    Interesting. It does seem like an intentional process that the system is going through. Unfortunately, no one outside of FCA engineering knows what the process is or what the strategy entails. My conspiracy theory is that they know that the cab accumulates exhaust fumes under certain...

    Service Trip #4 AC/Vents

    What AC/Vent issue are you having? Sounds like you might be describing the "cabin air purge" cycle, as I call it, that most all of us are experiencing. It is easiest to hear at faster speeds. Cruising down the highway, all is quiet, then all of a sudden you hear more wind noise, feel fresh...

    Advise Needed

    If you plan on towing anything substantial or think you might find yourself needing to someday, don't forget the large difference in towing capacity between the 3.92 and 3.21. For my truck configuration, the max trailer capacity for the 3.21 ratio is 8,150 lbs vs 11,250 with the 3.92 ratio...

    Clock SYNC

    I have the same issue with mine. I have also noticed that GPS navigation on my iphone, when plugged into the truck, shows me as being somewhere far, far away, in a different time zone. There is a TSB that supposedly fixes all of this. I'm holding off until the truck needs to go in for...

    1500 temps and towing issue and questions

    Looking for some additional details about your situation.......Why did the truck only go 30MPH up steeper grades? Did you have the throttle wide open or were you backing off? If you had it wide open, id think you have a problem, if you didn't, why not and how were you determining how much...

    For anyone who’s curious

    I have used them in the past for some custom car builds. I use their Adaptec wheel spacer/adapters that are hub centric on both sides. Excellent communication and a great product. The spacers have always gone on perfectly and never had any vibration issues. They do get backed up from time to...

    Major issue: Odometer Moving forward with start ups while vehicle is still in Park. 19’ 1500 Longhorn , build date 6/19/19!

    I have also noticed my odometer randomly counting up at startup like I just pulled the handle on a slot machine! Mine was counting up by the hundreds! I thought it strange, but didn't think much of it. I have been looking for it recently and have not seen it. While somewhat on the topic, I...

    Pretty big paint defect. Pictures attached.

    It is unfortunate that a factory painted replacement does not exist. If this paint issue was not from the factory, but from a repair shop, I certainly hope the truck does not go back to the same shop that felt their repair was in acceptable in any way.

    Pretty big paint defect. Pictures attached.

    Atta boy! Throw salt on that wound! Kick him when he down! Add insult to that injury! Definitely make him explain himself for his oversight! :rolleyes: I fixed your post for you OP, take the truck back, express how you are disheartened by the significant paint defect, and politely request...
