    Why Does The Bighorn ORG Get The Front Suspension Skid Plate & the Laramie ORG Does Not?

    My 2025 Laramie has three skid plates. Here they are...

    Lasfit LED bulbs creating interference with transfer case?

    My Lasfit tail and backup lights are working fine without interference or any other weirdness.

    2025 Level 2 Lighting Question

    I fully agree. These LED lights are a thousand times better than the stock lights. I tried another brand that didn’t fit at all and I returned them. Lasfit were easy to install and have worked perfectly.

    Carli 2.0 commuter system

    I haven't done any real off-roading unless you count our dirt road. I do pop off and on the pavement quite a bit on single-lane roads to let a car pass. Everything is really solid and quiet, and the alignment is perfect. My local mechanic, who is a Rubicon off-roader, likes how adjustable the...

    Carli 2.0 commuter system

    I put the Carli Commuters on my 2025 Laramie with the ORP. The ride got a lot smoother on the rough rural roads around here. They are not as firm as the ORP shocks, but the truck still handles great while driving on curvy canyon roads. I got about 1 1/2" lift in front and 1" in back with the HD...

    2025 Ram 1500 off road package raised ride height

    I have the Off Road Package without air suspension. Both front and back should be 1” taller. The leveling kits out there generally point this out when stating their lift heights.

    New (New) Tungsten Issues

    Wireless CarPlay on my Laramie with a 14” screen has had no issues. It connects within a few seconds after turning on the truck and never disconnects. I have an iPhone 16 which is up to date and so is Uconnect. In the past six months, a few times the SiriusXM channels have went dead. However...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I’m waiting for the “Oil change required” message to appear. I assume it shows up closer to 0%. Mine is at 20% with 8000 miles. Modern synthetic oils can last 10000 miles. I have oil and a filter ready for when I get the notification.

    Ram Connect App (iPhone)

    For my 2025 Laramie, the vehicle health updates around one a day. The trips and fuel level update more frequently. I’m sure it depends on the connectivity to AT&T. I’m rural, so the cell service comes and goes.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Unless you can do it yourself, I’d have them drain the oil and check how much comes out. I haven’t changed my 2025’s oil yet, but from past experience with my Tundra, not all the oil drains. So I would expect about 6.5 quarts will drain in the Ram 3.0. I’d refill with 6 quarts and check the...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    According to the manual, it looks like each notch is 1/4 quart from min to max. Which makes sense since it says to add one quart when you get a low oil level warning.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Not to nitpick, but the owner's manual is a little more specific on the oil level refresh steps... ● Run the engine until the oil temperature is above 180°F (82°C). ● Park the vehicle on relatively level ground. ● Turn the engine off and cycle the ignition back to the RUN position. Wait four...

    Radio Making Loud Buzzing Noise

    I assume the dealer checked that you had the latest Uconnect update? You can check it here: Uconnect® Software Update Center: For Stellantis Vehicles After the last Uconnect update, I did a factory reset from the Vehicle Settings, and I have not had a buzz since then.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    It does the same on my 2025 Laramie. I don't notice it much because the truck is parked away from the house. It hasn't caused any issues for me. Overall, this truck makes a variety of strange sounds, but it starts and runs perfectly, so I am not going to complain.

    fuel economy

    The front drive shaft still spins in 2WD when driving slow, even though the OR pages now show it not "locked". The back tires will spin on loose ground in 2WD, so I know the front axle is not getting much (if any) power in 2WD. I've read that the BW 48-11 transfer case does not really "lock"...

    Entering the market for a new truck!

    I ordered a loaded 2025 Laramie ($80k MSRP) from Mark Dodge and got $15k off with all discounts and incentives. My MPG is not great, but I do have 33.5” tires and a camper shell. I have no other complaints and the handling and acceleration are amazing.

    fuel economy

    My local dealer updated my PCM software to the latest version and the off-road pages are now working properly for me. Hopefully, the update improves the MPG a bit.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    There is no sway with my ORP, and I drive through a curvy, narrow canyon on most days. I was thinking of upgrading to Bilstein 6112s when they became available, but I am not sure if I have a good reason to.

    fuel economy

    I checked the traction on a hill covered in wet leaves. The rear tires spin in 2WD and not in 4WD Auto. That means the front hubs are not locked in 2WD even though the transfer case is always locked. I have a service appointment next Friday for them to take a look. If the locked transfer case is...

    fuel economy

    I double-checked mine in all modes and saw the same thing. It always spins the front drive shaft. Hopefully, it can be fixed and is part of the reason for my 14 MPG. I am going to talk to my local service manager tomorrow. Other than the locked transfer case, my truck runs great, and the...
