    UConnect Navigation Update Email - "NO THANKS RAM"

    . Maybe, but as I noted in a previous post, I've had a couple of instances where Google maps couldn't deliver, whereas the nav built into my Uconnect4 Ram got me there correctly, without any fuss. So it's not like Google Maps is the only thing that works. . Not to mention, Google Maps user...

    POS pedal commander

    I bought the Banks Pedal Monster & iDash because: (A) Gale Banks insists on rock-solid engineering from his team, no excuses whatsoever, and everything is decided by rigorous testing and performance data, not on any individual's preferences or whims. (B) Banks stuff is all made in the USA, even...

    UConnect Navigation Update Email - "NO THANKS RAM"

    Both are fine - if you prefer map apps on your phone, use them. If you like Ram's built-in navigation, that's fine as well. . I've had a couple of times when Google Maps on the iPhone couldn't get me to a residential address, whereas my 2020 Ram with Uconnect-4 took me right there perfectly. ...

    Electronic issues Radio, AC, and Front Power Windows

    When the LED taillights gave up on my 15-year-old Toyota, the dealer wanted $800 apiece for OEM replacements. I bought replacements that were listed as a certified OEM supplier from Rock Auto for $250 apiece,. Couldn't tell them apart from the factory original taillight assemblies and they've...

    Ok how many here have 0 problems with eco D

    Have any other EcoDiesel owners seen this on their intercooler tubing? Mine is a Gen 3, 2020, less than 15k miles, babied since new, only drive it on long trips or to haul a load, no short-tripping with it. I do on occasion use the block heater for a few hours before I crank it up on cold...

    Open tailgate if key fob is dead

    In my case, keyfob works fine, all the other locks work fine (doors, Ram boxes) only issue is the electronic latch itself on the tailgate responds to nothing until 12V battery has been disconnected for several minutes then reconnected.

    Open tailgate if key fob is dead

    Old thread, I know, but lately the tailgate latch on my 2020 Laramie Longhorn with MFT (multi-function tailgate) has been going dead on me. The 12V battery is fully charged, the keyfob battery is fine, all of the other locks unlock with the keyfob just fine, but the tailgate latch is completely...

    @RamRebelSteel: Whatever happened with your cracked sheetmetal near welds in your truck bed?

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . Tavares (CEO of Stellantis) was one of the first big auto executives to say "there's no way the world can go to EVs on a crash program, it just won't work" (my paraphrasing). So I give Tavares credit for having the good sense and the huevos to say from the get-go that the radical greenies had...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . The main point of my previous post was that the ONLY fair way to charge vehicle fees is based on (1) MILES DRIVEN and (2) WEIGHT OF VEHICLE. Technically speaking, those are by far the most important two factors that determine the actual wear-and-tear a given vehicle imparts on the roadways. ...

    Multi-Function Tailgate Misalignment?

    . When you press the latch, can you hear the solenoid click at all? Or is it just dead silence? . If you hear nothing at all when you press the latch, then it's more likely an electrical problem, not "sticking" mechanically. . I've never had any mechanical sticking/rubbing with my 2020 MFT, but...

    New to me ecodiesel questions...coolant color and poor MPG?

    . Might not be what you want, but I believe the Banks iDash lets you calibrate the speedometer and it'll show your corrected speed all the time. They also have some really nice "pods" to mount the iDash to the driver's side A-pillar (right below the grab handle). . I have nothing to do with...

    2024 Rebel - was a hardcore Chevy Avalanche guy

    . Regarding stowing the receiver hitches, I thought that was the main reason Ram puts the two in-floor storage bins in each side of the rear floor. I know a lot of guys buy lockable metal inserts to put into those in-floor storage bins, in order to carry their pistols safely and hidden, but I do...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . Thank you for the detailed cost analysis, that's cool. . My situation is a bit different, in that I currently have an EcoDiesel but the vast, vast majority of my driving these days is short local trips (I live less than 10 miles form work). At the time I bought the ED, there were plans to...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . Just curious, what are the costs of gasoline per gallon and electricity per kWh where you are? . Where I live in SoCal, diesel is holding solidly around $5.50/gal and my electricity tiers are $0.33 and $0.43/kWh. .

    Clunk no-more

    FWIW, if you want to replace the sway bar and its mounting hardware, the guys on Truck Show Podcast are fans of the Hellwig products, and Sean Holman knows a TON about trucks. I have never used Hellwig products, because I don't need to mod my truck. But FWIW, if you want what is supposedly some...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . Yeah, the mandating part of it is completely wrong. . But charging road-use fees based on vehicle weight & miles traveled IS the most fair way to have every user pay their share of the upkeep. . Pure and simple, it's physics, combined with personal responsibliity: The heavier a vehicle is, the...

    Oil leak out of my intercooler?

    . My 2020 EcoDiesel, only 10 k miles, has oil seepage on the tubes similar to your photo "IMG_0527.jpeg", but I've never seen any oil drips. I've been wondering what is causing it, but was waiting until I take mine in for the HPFP replacement under warranty. .

    How’s your 2019 Ram running? Take our poll!

    . Sorry to hear that Ram isn't handling it as a warranty issue for you. Keep good records (receipts, emails, calls, date & time discussed with service advisor, etc.) in case Ram does make it a recall issue and you can apply for reimbursement. By chance did you ask to talk to the area rep, see if...
