    How will an Update Work?

    The truck does not connect to other wifi networks... It has it's own wifi that it broadcasts for use in the truck, but it does not receive wifi from anywhere. The truck will automatically notify you if there is an Over The Air (OTA) update. Once it notifies you of the update, you can either...

    Maximum tow weight?

    Probably too much... But to be fair there are some legit half ton towable 5th wheels out there, however, I haven't seen one in the 9k lb range... Also, if you have air ride, there is currently nobody that makes a 5th wheel hitch that will fit the truck. Not sure what bed size you have, but it's...

    2nd Ram in a row

    Recommendations Needed - 7 months, Useless Radio Feature, No Solution

    Here, I did the searching for you. https://www.dropbox.com/s/n7ttzlua6tdwaw4/Radio%20%26%20Backup%20Cam.pdf?dl=0 If it's already at the dealer, call and specifically ask them for this tsb to be completed. They don't have to witness anything if your concern matches the symptom description(s)...

    Really want to tow this trailer with a 2019 Ram 1500

    Thanks for the clarification, and I'm sure all of us look forward to the scale tickets. Seeing real numbers on real trucks helps a ton when gauging what's feasible and what's not. I'll counter the other way to your argument now, lol. I don't need a CDL to tow 100% of what my truck is rated...

    Hey if the guy in front of you stops, you will too! :ROFLMAO:

    Trailer not connected

    Well hey, that's good (and important) info, lol. For the plug on the trailer, usually they come apart with two screws, you can open it up and check for tightness of the terminal connections, loose terminals themselves, or water intrusion into the connection. I've replaced the wiring on almost...

    Trailer not connected

    Gotcha, this is why that sig info is key, you're in the 1500 section of the forums.... The half ton trucks are A: completely different, and B: not built with 5th wheel towing in mind. The Heavy Duty's however, can be equipped with the 5th wheel prep from the factory. Head over to the Heavy...

    Trailer not connected

    How are you plugging the trailer into the 7 blade plug on the truck? At the rear bumper? And not in the bed?

    Rear Suspension Bang!

    Not sure when they had the cutoff for the body mount tsb, but I know the sway bar one is from this year, sometime around april or march build dates is where it starts I believe. I know my august build qualified for the body mounts., and I want to say it cut off in October or November. I'll see...

    Programming the dashboard display

    Idk who the **** thought that the software would fix a water getting into the camera somewhere problem, but holy damn, take it to another dealer, lol.

    Heavy Load LOUD banging sound

    Your truck probably isn't rated for WAY more than 1200 lbs, but I'd guess as much as 1450-1500 lbs, so you should have been well withing the payload capacity, assuming an otherwise empty truck. Now, did the truck rock back and forth when the forklift driver dropped the pallet in? Could have been...

    Massachusetts Dealer Service Dept

    There's actually a dealer service rating thread out there specifically for this. Not sure if your area is on the list, but it's probably worth the check out.

    Truck requires a lot of gas to start going reverse uphill

    You sure it was 4-5k rpms? That's WAY too much, it should probably not be able to go more than 2-2500 without some serous strain before movement occurs. Do you have any other transmission issue symptoms?

    Recommendations Needed - 7 months, Useless Radio Feature, No Solution

    What's your build date? Search around the TSB / Recalls section on the forum, I'm sure I've definitely seen radio enhancements for the 8.4 screens too. The other thing you can try is another dealer. As far as compensation goes, that's up to you and your very expensive lawyer. Obviously with no...

    4x4 System

    The t-case is lubed any time you're running down the road. Nothing wrong with trying it out though, you won't hurt it (when used properly). But I wouldn't worry about any components drying out or condensation building up, because it gets lubed anytime the truck is moving.

    Trailer not connected

    Welcome to the forums. This has been covered a lot on here, cruise around the forums and you'll definitely find it. The truck looks for the signal from the electric trailer brake wire of the 7 blade connector. If you're having an intermittent problem with the trailer being recognized, you...

    Start up clanking noise

    I have mine on auto all the time, but I add brake pressure as it's engaging and that seems to help it hold on hills. I might try turning off the auto feature and just doing it the "old fashioned" way where I press the button manually.

    Rear Suspension Bang!

    What's everyone's build date? Go check out the front body mount tsb, it describes a loud thunk in the floor under strong articulation. Not the tsb for the sway bar links, that's a different thing, and only related to newer trucks. (once again, check your build dates).

    4x4 System

    My Tundra also said to run in 4hi for ten miles every month. At that time I lived where I had a 1/4 mile long dirt drvieway, every day I'd drive out in 4HI, and put it back in 4HI on the way in. With my Ram, I use Auto 4wd enough to get things lubricated, even though it's not a "requirement"...
