    Questions about 2025 Options - just trying to learn from the knowledge collective here

    Howdy all, I have been nosing around on the RAM Truck site and on a few dealer sites. I have seen a few trucks that have caught my eye, but not my wallet...My current truck still serves me well and it all works as far as buttons, and switches so, no need to acquire a new truck/loan. Just that...

    Sliding in Snow

    To add weight to the bed, use bags of dirt, mulch, sand, gravel, or whatever can be easily obtained from a hardware store. The bags of goods can easily removed and used around the house after winter. Use the auto 4wd setting in the transfer case. Drive slower than normal. Do not brake hard ...

    5yr / 80k Checkin dealer bill

    Your Warranty Package just earned its keep, I'm glad the dealer was able to submit claims, and they were accepted. :) BlueHemi1500

    Remote start climate control 40 degree threshold ?????

    What year/model of truck do you have? Some of the features are not standard on some of the various models. I have a 2020 Laramie my HVAC/heated seates/heated wheel will turn on at about 40 degrees or so. In the summer the AC and cooling seat will turn on. This is only for the driver's seat...

    Cargo Lamp Lights

    I have a 20. There is an Icon on my gauge cluster when the lights are on. I turned on the tailgate ajar warning and now the bed lights come on when I open a cab door, manually turn on the back loading lights, and when I open my tailgate. I like that, when I do not want the bed lights I just...

    2019 RAM 1500 Heater Core

    Man, those pictures are intimidating at the least. I have fundamental mechanical skills, but my tool selection out-strips my knowledge. All I can say is wow. There is no way I could/would tackle that job. My hat is off to your skills. Good luck in solving your electrical issues, as they are...

    2024 Ram Remote start programming

    As noted above you will need a security gateway bypass cable and it will need to be installed. Once installed, you will connect your MX+ to the OBD II port on the end of the security bypass cable. The security gateway is preventing you from writing/making changes to the various modules you are...

    Driver side under dash panel?

    I am just seeing this message. You are correct; my driver-side lower dash matches the picture previously posted. I was thinking of the panel that I take out when I am using the programming cable. BlueHemi1500

    Lost camera system and rear park sense yesterday.

    The v 40.1 is for the UC 4 on the 12 inch screen not any other radio or UC Version. The UC version in 22 and above is the UC v 5, so there will be different version numbers for those UC 5 systems. BlueHemi1500

    2025 Limited Night Package with Off Road?

    Bed length will be a matter of personal choice/taste. Having had an HD diesel truck with an 8 ft bed, my 5.7 ft bed took some getting used to, but I bought my truck Nused. The longer-bed truck will most likely have problems fitting into a garage, so that must be taken into consideration. I...

    Dealer-installed OEM Trailer Brake Controller - No Uconnect options?

    Look in your settings tab on your radio. There should be a settings tab and there will be a listing for the trailer brake there. There will also be a selection on the center of your dashboard using your left-hand buttons using the 4-way selector. Also, try squeezing the brake slide it should...

    Tonneau covers

    As noted above, try getting some flat weather stripping from the hardware store. Get the kind that has ridges on one side and is sticky on both sides. Get enough that covers the length as one continuous strip for each side. Get inside the bed during very bright sunlight and id where the light...

    Lost camera system and rear park sense yesterday.

    Check the fuses and loose/broken wires in the rear bumper/tailgate bundle. I can't even imagine your frustration and anger. If you have access to a code reader, see what may lead you to a solution. Good luck with the solution. Based on the in-service date (the date the truck was first...

    Driver side under dash panel?

    Late to the party, my 2020 has a valance panel in place. It is held by 2 or 3 11 mm hex head screws and several plastic clips. I guess the difference is the production dates, and possibly the lack of parts during the COVID-19 parts shortage. The panel in my truck does not appear to be...

    The dreaded back glass leak has happened to me.

    Permatex question. What is the proper kind of Permatex to obtain? I tried a search and did not seem to find the proper kind/part number to use for this application. As of now no leaks from the third brake light or back window - after most rain storms I check, and so far it's dry, but I fear my...

    Starlink mini USB-C connection

    USB-A ports are rectangular with square corners. A plastic piece will also block about half of the port. USB-C ports are smaller than USB-A ports and are rectangular with rounded corners and no blocking piece. This is also the same shape of port on most recently released/produced cell phones...
