    Front Air Dam Removal

    I had a 2013 that I hooked a piece of rebar in a parking spot and tore the cover off. I left it off and saw zero difference in gas mileage. I think they are more of an issue than they are worth.

    Power Folding Tow Mirrors

    This is the most "missed" feature Ram has goofed on. I personally know 2 people that bought Pords due only to the non folding tow mirrors on half tons. They were actually going to buy Rams and when they got to the mirrors that did it. They said if Ram doesn't have that feature what else is...

    Thinking about trading for a 2020,whats changed?

    I run a 2019 with a 3.92 gear. I pull a trailer a lot and just love the truck. But I have thought that to just drive empty in town would be much better with the 3.21 gears. The reason is that with all the stop and go driving the first two gears are really too low for any use. So the truck shifts...

    33gal fuel tank.

    Feel bad for you I get yelled at too on these forums. Its true this has been discussed for years now. What Ram does is give you a bigger tank but has failed to change the software program so the gage is on the 28 gallon tank. That way they don't have to have a seperate program function for the...

    Why Can't Ram figure out how to put power folding tow mirrors on the 1500?

    Has anyone heard anything on Ram putting power fold tow mirrors on the 1500? Its ridicules that the 2500 has them and the 1500 doesn't. I know personally of two truck deals that went ford because of the mirrors.

    Nav help question

    Thanks for that suggestion, I tried it and it works. I had my auto zoom set on far because I thought it would be the farthest out. Nope. That function is a little confusing. But shutting it off and then using the plus and minus buttons works great.

    Nav help question

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to make my 8.4 navigation stop going back to the default distance of like 100 ft ahead of the truck. I manually set the map distance out to a longer distance and after a minute or so it automatically changes back to the closest setting. I hate that not seeing what is...

    Not impressed with my 8.4 Nav

    I find my Navigation really disappointing. My brothers ford Nav is much better. It does split screen on intersections, shows the correct path and sets at a 1/2 mile distance so you can see turns ahead of you. Does anyone know how to set the distance on the map so it will stay? I would like to...

    What to do with a factory screw up.

    I ordered and recieved a truck about 10 months ago. I ordered it with a limited slip rear end. I have noticed a couple of times in the snow that one tire spins but 4 wheel drive gets me going. I decided to rotate my tires myself this time. So when it was jacked up I noticed that the rear tires...

    Do you like your MDS?

    The MDS on my 2013 was a lot smoother than my new truck. Driving at 45 I both hear it and feel it jerk when i gently step on it. Sometimes it shudders slightly. Is there any dealer adjustment for that?

    First start in the morning

    After my truck sets overnight when i first take off the truck has a lot of slack in the drivetrain. Like driving a stick shift. It jerks back and forth very noticable. After it gets to highway speed it is smooth for the rest of the day. Like the convertor is loose or partially drained. Anyone...

    Mobil 1 5w-20 has new MS-6395 approval ! ****** Maybe bad info- Updated*******

    Yes Fiat has ties and partners with Shell in Europe. That is why they recommend Platinum. But the lag is all about money. Oil companies have to test and pay big bucks for that MS certification. Mobil was not willing to cough up the money in previous years but now they see the sales revenue.

    DIY Oil Change Shopping list for the 5.7

    If you study oil filter tests it is pretty apparent that Fram filters are the poorest of the group. The media is not as good as some and there has been rust found inside them. Wix makes probably the best filter and Napa gold which is also Wix made. You can get Wix filters at any O Rielly store...

    DIY Oil Change Shopping list for the 5.7

    Oil has been in the ground since the dinosaurs. Virtually no shelf life and additives are made to be stable. I would use oil 5 years old and not bat an eye even 10 years old if it was a current number.

    Bed Step Install Doc and Pics

    Bed Step Install Doc and Pics

    Its really funny as I read these posts. Its been great and thank you all for the pictures and part number. What is weird is that people that try to order from dealers get no where. I tried before reading these posts and my dealer who is a really big dealer checked and Ram said they were in...
