    Surface rust on bumper

    Yes, definately push for a replacement bumper, then install a set of Weathertech mud guards to help protect the lower half of the truck.

    Surface rust on bumper

    Looks like they were caused by stones kicked up from the rear tire causing the thin chrome plating to be chipped off and exposing bare metal. You could clean it up with 0000 steel wool and then touch up the spot with "chrome" paint on a artist's brush. It wont be perfect, but would be much...

    Does your Ram bite you?

    Okay, thanks for the explanation.

    Does your Ram bite you?

    How does one get "bitten" by the Ram? I must be missing something as I've never been bitten.

    No paint in wheel wells

    Definately normal, as mine is the same.

    Rear view mirror plastic housing not flush against windshield

    That's exactly where you pull the cover off. I put a piece of thin cardboard between that cover and the headliner so it wouldnt catch on the headliner material when I removed it; the same for installation.

    AC is Cold, rear window/brake light doesn't leak, and I get great fuel mileage on my 4x4 3.92 E Torque 5.7L

    Other than a slight "creak" coming from the rearview mirror cover that I corrected using felt, I have had no issues on my 2019 Longhorn. The AC is ice cold, super comfortable ride, and an overall awesome truck!

    Door sill protection

    That's why I I don't use PPF. No matter how careful its applied, there are always a few bubbles, plus scratches from using a squeegee. Heskins is the largest supplier of safety and anti slip tape in the world and has a location in PA. They will send you samples free of charge. I used the...

    Door sill protection

    I finally got around to fabricating and installing door sill protectors on my Longhorn. I've always fabricated protectors on previous vehicles using an "anti slip" tape; usually black in color. Since I now have a white truck, and also wanting to bring the material over the "leading edge" of the...

    Battery Tender Recommendations

    I have a trickle charger/tender that I've been using steadily on my Allante since 2012. I purchased it at Harbour Freight for under $5.00 with a coupon, and have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. They are still under $5.00.

    Rattle sound when heavy bass music on

    I remember reading a post on here awhile back, where someone had a rattle above the rear passenger headliner. Turned out it was a wire harness connector that was not secured to the inner roof structure with the Christmas tree connector. He had to pull the headliner down from the sunroof opening...

    Paint defect

    Its amazing that there are not more trucks with paint defects, considering they push 1500 or so units a day out of the plant. Still, for what we paid, it's not right. My prior 4th Gen Sport had 34 paint defects that I corrected; the worst being on the roof, where the paint guns "spit" just...

    Fit n fine body lines

    I adjusted the strike plates on both rear doors on my 2019 Longhorn, as they did stick out on the bottoms; driver's side more than the passenger side. No whistles, wind noise, and they are now flush with the cab.

    Paint defect

    I have a similar ding on the Right bed side panel. The paint is not cracked, and it's only noticeable at certain angles, and being a white truck helps hide it further. The Rambox could be removed, and PDR could most likely eliminate it, but I'm going to leave it as is. Sad we have things like...

    Wiper Arm Gouging Hood

    If your concerned about paint match / factory durability, have the dealers body shop swap a good from one they have on the lot.

    Wiper Arm Gouging Hood

    Awhile back, I saw a video on YouTube of a Ram owner with the same situation. Its quite possible the wiper arms were installed on the wrong sides, as my 2019 has the "curved" arm on the driver's side. In any event, I would demand that FCA send you to a very reputable body shop and have a new...

    Busted bed welds

    Rivets may be the easiest repair.

    Center Console Cup Holder Removal

    There is a prior post discussing the part numbers and cost for the conversion. As I recall, the upper part with the cup holders and lids is just under 400.00, and the deeper bottom part is around 35.00. It's a bit pricey, but a direct swap.
