    Abs and traction control light on

    The majority of the ones I've seen on the forum and my own truck's ABS issue were traced back to the wiring harness running from one of the wheel speed sensors on the back wheels and the ABS control module in the front. However RAM routed the wiring harness leads to chaffing of the bundle...

    No Carplay and no media after IOS 15.3 update

    Yes, I've tried it all, unpaired phone from Uconnect and Uconnect from Carplay, reset everything, tried every USB port in the truck, different OEM cords etc. I don't think it is a Carplay only problem since plugging the phone into a USB port does not show up as a media device. Either all of my...

    No Carplay and no media after IOS 15.3 update

    Yep, phone connects fine through Bluetooth and charges fine through USB, but no carplay and no media connection through USB. Most likely an IOS glitch, will see who blinks first, Apple or Uconnect

    No Carplay and no media after IOS 15.3 update

    Anyone else having problems with their 12” Uconnect 4 after updating to IOS 15.3? My Carplay quit working and after trying every possible remedy I noticed the Uconnect system doesn’t recognize my phone when plugged into the USB ports (it charges, but no Carplay and no Media). Bluetooth still...

    Why is the Ecodiesel heavier than the Hemi?

    Where are you getting 3x the oil? The Hemi takes 7 qts of oil and the Gen 3 Ecodiesel takes 8.5 qts.

    Towing experiences

    Similar experience here. We tow a 6500 pound travel trailer through the Arkansas mountains and the Ecodiesel does great. The truck and trailer get moving much easier when accelerating from a stop, it has no problem pulling steep grades that I had to pull over on in my F150 to let the...

    Rear seat cover for 2021 Ram 1500 Crew Cab?

    I've used one of these for the last 5 years. It does a great job of protecting the seat, is durable and cleans up well in the washing machine. The dogs seem to like it too. https://www.orvis.com/grip-tight-quilted-microfiber-backseat-protector/20HP.html

    Abs and traction control light on

    I think like other posts in this thread have mentioned, most likely causes are a bad wheel speed sensor or a wiring harness between the wheel speed sensors and the ABS module that is rubbing somewhere. The dealer should be able to find which sensor is giving the faulty reading, then trouble...

    Truck rear end sway

    I tow a 6500 lb Grand Design Imagine 2250RK and it tows super stable. I use a Husky Centerline hitch and it is the most stable set up I have ever towed. If you take the time to properly set up your hitch and verify everything at the scales I can't see you having any issues.

    Ram Service vs Toyota service

    I have to say my local Ram dealer has a great service department. At least on the instances I have taken my truck in, they did a very thorough job trouble shooting the problem (ABS light on, ended up having to chase wires). I was offered a free loaner for as long as I needed it ('21 Bighorn)...

    Truxedo mounting bracket replacement

    When I moved my Sentry CT from my old truck to my new one I called Truxedo about purchasing a set of seals for the new bed. They were very responsive and sent me a new set at no charge, they even covered shipping. I’d contact Truxedo, you might be surprised.

    Odd question about a 33 gal tank on a 3.0 diesel ...

    I have the 3.0 with a 33 gallon tank and have never had an issue fillng it up. I usually run it down to 50 miles remaining and the truck will take 28-29 gallons (I think the tank has a 2 gallon reserve when showing empty). Here in Louisiana diesel is under $3 a gallon, so hitting the $100...

    6 cylinder Rams

    My EcoDiesel is in the shop for an ABS light that came on so I've been driving a Bighorn loaner with the Pentastar V6 for the past week. I gotta admit, I've been pretty impressed with it, that engine gets up and goes. Granted, the Bighorn weighs about 1200 pounds less than my Laramie with...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    When I contacted Aaron last week about a Longhorn they just got in he quoted me 1% below invoice plus whatever rebates were available, plus a very good offer for my trade. When I told my local dealer about his quote they said no way could they match that and recommended I take Aaron's deal...

    Just sold to Vroom...

    They are talking about having to pay full sales tax on the purchase price of their new truck. For example, I am trading my truck in on a Longhorn, sale price is $64K. Sales tax here is 9%, so if purchasing outright I'd be paying $5760 in sales tax. My state allows you to deduct your trade in...

    ecodiesel driving experience

    I'm not sure I'd call it the end all be all, but the torque on this engine is pretty amazing. It chugs along pretty well at any speed and at a comfortable RPM and does not need to downshift like a gas engine on hills. I find my Ecodiesel to be the smoothest, quietest, most comfortable truck...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Like you posted earlier, it is till showing 0% for 72 as available on the Chrysler Capital site, so no sure why the Ram site shows something different.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    In my area the Ram website shows the 0% for 72 is gone and now only offers 0% for 48. Rebates dropped from $2750 to $2250 on a Limited Longhorn, but $500 of that requires financing through Chrysler.

    Most cities in Louisiana have a 9% sales tax rate, 4% state and 5% local.

    Just sold to Vroom...

    I ended up trading mine in with Aaron for a ‘21 Longhorn with EcoDiesel. Vroom offered $4500 more than what I got for my trade, but by trading in I saved $4500 in sales tax, so it was a wash. Between the discount I got from the dealership (1% under invoice), the 0% for 72 financing, and the...
