    Build issue via Ram web site and Hydro Blue

    The best place to find out in at a dealership, but I’ve used the Ram configurator many times. I can’t explain why it won’t let you do what you want on a custom build, but I tried to build a Laramie in the bright red with Ramboxes. When I pick the Rambox option, it makes me change the color to...

    Paint Cracking at Edge of Hood

    That doesn’t appear to be bubbling under the paint so it isn’t the same issue as that TSB refers to. We had a hood replaced on our ‘18 JGC Summit because of the under the paint corrosion on the aluminum hood.

    2025 power tailgate stuck closed

    Glad your trip went well. Yea, every year it seems there is more electric gizmos to give us headaches. On my ‘22, I have the split tail gate plus the Rambox lids’ and it relies on an electric switch to open. I haven’t had any issues with that, but I miss just having mechanical linkage. In your...

    Anyone’s truck smell like propane?

    Thread is like almost 6 years old. Never any answers posted.

    E torque alternator.

    Good video, too bad they can’t tell you when you can get it replaced if/when it fails.

    E torque alternator.

    The way these vehicles are integrated with electronics ( PCM, TCM, BCM, etc ) it isn’t like years past. Those days past I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the hardware and switch it over. Just I’m not sure if you would switch hardware necessary if you could then get it “communicate” with the modules...

    Anyone Else Getting This

    This was an email I received. I don’t intend on getting it. Just throwing it out there.

    Mopar or AMP Research? Which would you get?

    I had Amp boards on my ‘18 2500. I had thought about getting a switch like shown, but then found out that you must have the correct controller too. I did have to replace my controller unit when I was having the boards not retracting correctly. Replacing that fixed it. Then I called Amp about...

    E torque alternator.

    Just wondering if there is any way to eliminate the MGU and just go back to just having an alternator? I’m certainly not tech savvy enough to do it, but maybe there are some folks that are??? Just like the air ride system which some have replaced with a standard spring suspension, some things...

    Stellantis Lemon Law

    Quick story. 18 years ago I bought a new truck. Problem even before I picked it up. Wasn’t told to me as I found out later at another dealership that began trying to fix the pickup. Turned out the engine had a bad cylinder. Lemon Law contacted. Took about 9 months, in fact the next day I was...

    2025 Rebel - air suspension differences from other models?

    I have a ‘22 Longhorn Limited with the Off-Road Group. I’ve had air ride before on previous Rams. The Off Road Group gives me 4 levels instead of 5 that my other non Off Road Group trucks had. This truck I have now is 1” higher when it is in the “normal” mode. To get this height on my previous...

    Sirius xm 360L radio 12 inch 4c no internet connection

    Just thinking out loud. Is it possible to just replace the modem part? Maybe that’s just being flaky. Research this maybe on YouTube or punch it into the search bar to access the internet. You might be able to find a replacement part off of eBay. Dealer won’t help you, no one tries to fix...

    2020 Laramie Longhorn too many Issues

    Says he has had the truck for 5 years. “In the shop too many times to remember” Sorry for your troubles, but I would have purchased an extended warranty or that truck would have been gone long ago.

    Can I get a second Mopar extended warranty?

    If you want to have a factory warranty that’s fine. I had an extended warranty when I had a 2018 Ram 2500 Limited with the Cummins. I originally purchased an extended warranty 9 months after I purchased it new and was at almost 36,000 miles. I added 5 years + 100,000 miles Max Care. About 2...

    HEMI coming back to RAM 1500?!

    1791, totally agree. I had a choice when I ordered my 2022. I made the wrong choice. Worst mileage than my previous 1500s and now I have that eTorque crap. Shame on me!

    Dash turned into a Xmas tree.

    Ya know that stuff is gonna break and while it’s never convenient when it happens, it just really sucks that the parts to replace/repair are “no eta-back order” MGU, steering rack, ABS modules, the list seems to keep growing. I hope Tim K can get this parts thing corrected so we can expect a...

    eTorque Bearing Replacement, Fixed Grinding Noise

    Yup, great information here. Depending on how bad the bearing gets, it may have your truck out of commission. And since it sounds like it can take many months to get the MGU replaced under warranty, this is a great fix to “keep on trucking” UpNorth Engineer, had you already had this at the...

    eTorque Bearing Replacement, Fixed Grinding Noise

    Excellent write up. Hope I never need the information, but as the eTorque MGU gets older this is gonna be more common to repair a bearing that goes bad. Where did you get the bearing part number? Parts book or off of the bearing?

    E torque alternator.

    Well, that is great news. It would be a big help to the forum if you’d write up a “how to, how I did this” so, I know there are many of us, that would just rebuild it. Too bad dealerships just don’t do it for us. Plus, list the bearing source/part number and if any special tools were needed...

    Multi function tailgate problem

    Hope I don’t jinx myself, but I don’t have to slam my tailgate. Yes I close it firmly, but not having to slam it. It’s been one of my favorite things on my truck.
