    Any regrets not getting 4x4

    I have been a boat owner since 1994 and this is boat #6 and that is partly true if you don't know the brand and also don't do most of your own maintenance/repairs. I do almost all my own maint but parts are also another story in expensiveness $$$

    Rear window surround crack.

    Have you or has anyone got the AD replacement and is there a significant difference? I am thinking of bringing it up when I am at the dealer next.

    Any regrets not getting 4x4

    If you tow a boat, and in my case a boat that weighs lots more than the truck, 4x4 is a must. Slippery boat ramps with anything greater than 13 Degree angle and you will regret not having 4 wheel drive very quickly. Side note, I pulled a 2 wheel drive expedition with his boat up a ramp in 4...

    Quick oil recommendations

    You can't go wrong with M1 oil or filters. After seeing the chemical analysis I switched to PUP full synthetic just because it performed a little bit better.. Worth the extra $$?, that is debatable, but since I am holding on to the truck for longer than after it is paid for, I wanted the best...

    Rear window surround crack.

    I can confirm that there is an updated model and they installed it into my truck. Now 11 months later, (Mar. 20 2020 replacement installed part #68426398AC) both sides are cracked again on the new model part. On a side note, neither of my windows have ever leaked from the cracks.

    How big have you towed? w/Pics no tricks!

    I have towed a little bit smaller than that, but ex's don't count.... or do they?? They are kinda like something always on your rear and a boat anchor slowing you down... :ROFLMAO:

    Air springs vs coil springs (w/ helper bags)

    I am very happy with the air ride and it rides better than the traditional coils for smoothness. The auto level is great and the ability to raise and lower the truck 6 inches is handy at times for loading and once in a blue moon clearance height. ***As a bonus feature the air release valve...

    How to Get the Best Price on Your New Ram

    It certainly isn't easy to get the best deal. My last two Rams I got way better of a deal than my 2019. My 2000 (Quad, SLT 4x4, 5.9, Sunroof) I got 30.4% off MSRP, and my 2007 (4x4, 3.92, Laramie, Sunroof, Hemi 5.7MDS) I got 31.2% off MSRP. My 2019 I got 19.1% off MSRP. I ordered my 2000...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    How do you get your oil changed?

    This is a no brainer. No reason to risk your truck after the free oil changes are all used. Change it myself with the PUP and Purolator filter or K&N Gold. No worries about wrong anything or letting them prematurely wear out my truck components. I have seen the crossthreaded plug, filter...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed the AVS low profile in channel window vent shades. Hoping that they seat well and mold into the channel so the windows don't auto reverse.

    Bungee straps, spare water, cleaning supplies (Wax/Leather/Windex/Rags) and Air Fresheners. I have only used it as a cooler twice.

    Christmas Tree dash lights after a boost

    If you leave your truck in any level other than Normal when you park it, the Air Suspension likes to continuously re-level itself as the ambient temperature changes or the wind tilts the truck. There should be an update that fixes this but I don't think it exists yet.

    Christmas Tree dash lights after a boost

    Sometimes it may take up to 5 restarts to clear all of the lights and codes.

    Pedal Commander ?

    Question for those that have the PC. In Sport +4 with 4WD AUTO on and e-Torque with 3.92 gears, do you smoke or squeal when mashing the gas pedal from a stop? Also have any of you timed your 0-60 with this setup? Looking to get this and wondering what it will be like with 3.92 and e-Torque.

    Etorque lag?

    Is the pedal commander compatible with the Tazer DT or is it one or the other? Plugs on the description look the same? Thanks!

    2022 RAM 1500

    That is sad.... I am looking to move to a 3500 SRW and have seen the video of the steering column not centered on the drivers seat with the 2500/3500 Gen 4 cab. I was waiting for a Full 5th Gen 3500... I will continue to wait..

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    It appears you already have most of them according to your signature block. The only thing I can think of is tires with less rolling resistance for you to mod. Sweet Truck BTW!

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    After 45,000+ miles I am getting about 15.2-15.5 MPG overall. I am happy with the fuel economy compared to my 2007 1500 Hemi 4x4 3.92 that was getting 13.8-14.2 MPG overall and the new truck is about 200 Lbs Heavier.
