    5.7 eTorque Gotchas?

    This is my 5th vehicle with auto stop/start and its the first vehicle that i dont turn it off every time i get in. With the etorque its so incredible smooth and responsible... its just great.

    No button light or dash icon for auto start-stop on 2021 Limited

    No light. Mine shows a indicator on the dash display but ONLY when the vehicle is stopped.

    No button light or dash icon for auto start-stop on 2021 Limited

    Yea, they know nothing at the dealership from my experience. :) Unless your online and on forums like here with like minded people that are interested in this stuff they usually dont know until they get a service bulletin about it. I had Fords and Chryslers and always disabled it every single...

    No button light or dash icon for auto start-stop on 2021 Limited

    Yes, that seems to be the way they are. Mine is the same. When driving you can press it a bunch of times and you have no idea if its on or off Until you stop and then you will see the "A" light on the dash telling you its disabled (if it is disabled). Its certainly a bug. Fog light is the same...

    What wax or coating to put on new RAM?

    All great info! Thanks! The clay bar sounds like much more work than I am interested in doing myself. Lol. Seems like that is the hardest/time consuming part. Which is why I liked applying wax or the newer ceramic stuff with a polisher. Next week will hit 60 here in Upstate NY so looking...

    What wax or coating to put on new RAM?

    My teenager sent me multiple things online saying with todays paint job's wax is not needed as they were mainly to prevent fading. The ceramic is what they use today he says. :) He is up on all this stuff. I will look into that other polisher, i just prefer to stay in the Ryobi family since i...

    What wax or coating to put on new RAM?

    Ok, so back in the day... We put on Turtle Wax. Wax On - Wax Off, until your wrists hurt. I am a Ryobi tool guy and have almost everything from them, now I see they have a polisher. Would get this to do my new RAM. But now they talk about "ceramic" coatings. Anyone do this to their truck? If so...

    1500 died when I applied parking brake (brand new)

    Strange but so much is controlled by the computer now - stranger things have happened. If it was me, I would try it every day for the next two weeks out of curiosity and see if it happens again. If it doesn't I would assume it was just a fluke and not worry. Curious if anyone else had that...

    Help me understand...

    I know people who when its time for a new vehicle will spend 6 months looking, shopping, comparing prices and go wherever to save $2000. I am not like that, It gets time to get something new and I dont enjoy price shopping and hunting around. Often my purchase is done in a couple days from when...

    Just Bought this 2021 Sport

    I think UConnect 5 has the wireless android auto and the RAM's still have v4? I havent checked mine to confirm that.

    Just Bought this 2021 Sport

    Congrats! Only had mine a few months and very happy. You can connect with Bluetooth but Android Auto still requires a wired connection. Although there are some 3rd party devices out there you can get that connect it wirelessly. I just connect mine with the wire and drop it in the vent mounted...

    START/STOP Unavailable light

    I stopped using those discount tire places for a reason like that. Mavis Discount Tires here in the North East. Went in for tires, they come out and tell me oil is dirty, air filter needs replacing, blah blah blah. I said, NO, Just The TIRES! After I left had an engine light on, turned right...

    Has anyone received a Uconnect update recently?

    Any regrets not getting 4x4

    This is my first truck and had AWD vehicles before, but I would never even consider getting a truck without 4WD. Being in upstate NY we get our share of snow and I actually survived with many 2wd cars but just never went out when the roads were bad, and once plowed they are fine. But even just...

    USB Flash Drives

    I havent tried any USB drives that small, but today you can get a 10 pack of 32gb drives for like $29. You would have to search around hard to even find 2GB drives (Assuming you dont already have them) so they are cheap enough to just get 32gb and be safe. Dont worry about all that extra space. :)

    Compare Ram to Ford

    Having owned many new fords (Not trucks) one that I hate, is you get the Titanium or highest level and yet there are things it can still be missing. Some options. I only have a Big Horn so not sure how RAM does it, but Ford needs to learn from other brands. My wife's Subaru, If you pick the...

    How do you get your oil changed?

    I have a local mechanic that I trust completly. Family run and they are a client of mine (I take care of their IT needs) so they take care of me on price too. Haven't had to do an oil change yet, but they recommended every 4000k on the HEMI so that's what I plan on doing to take the best care I...

    Message Notifications Not Appearing

    My android phone always gives me the notifications. My wife's iPhone never gives notifications via Bluetooth on Uconnect in my truck, in her 2018 Pacifica we had w/Uconnect and now even in her Subaru Outback. She does not complain to me about it so I never looked into why since mine works. :)...

    Easy entry/exit on 2021 Rebel

    You mean when you shut off the vehicle or open the door, the seat moves back to get in/out easier? I have had many vehicles with memory seats and none of mine ever had that feature. I don't have memory seats on my truck but its certainly not the case that all with them have that feature.
