    Outside Temperature Sensor

    Does anyone know where the outside temperature sensor is located, and is anybody experiencing a significant difference in what the truck shows vs the actual temperature? Mine is typically showing 126+ when I hop in after work (around 5:00PM) and the outside temps are actually 'only' in the...

    What's this in my cabin ceiling?

    Better hope that someone from corporate legal doesn't see this and demand return of factory property - could become a major liability suit. :ROFLMAO:

    Uconnect 12 Issue - No Sound/Sirius Doesn't Load

    Mine did this last night after shutting down with the USB playing - no music output from any source when I started back up (system menu beeps and warning sounds worked fine, though - I don't have Sirius either... trial ran out sometime last year). Drove it a few miles to my next destination...

    Shredding OEM Goodyear tires, sidewalls weather cracking on 3 out of 4 tires

    Count me in as not happy with the Goodyears. I bought my '21 Longhorn last July with 4800 miles on it, and the tires looked fine. I now have just over 13K miles, and the rears have noticeably less tread left than the fronts (probably like 1/3 less). Granted, the 3.92s might contribute, since...

    Would it look weird if...

    I do like the 4" w/35s better... looks a bit more proportional. Oddly enough, the idea of 35s on full size trucks just doesn't seem like that much of a big deal anymore. Here's a shot of a '97 Club Cab (identical to my first Ram) on 35s - kind of illustrates just how much bigger our trucks...

    Test drove Badlander

    I've always had 4x4s, but before my 2021 Longhorn, I had a 2012 2WD LoneStar crew cab and loved it. Last year there was a Black Widow at a local stealership that caught my eye, and I decided I wanted it... right up until they pulled their usual crap (bait-n-switch) and I learned that the...

    Would it look weird if...

    6" lift with 35s on 22x12s. Looks pretty cool to me. Just sayin'.

    Aftermarket cellphone holders

    I have both an iPhone XR for work, and a Motorola Razr (personal), and I've found that the missing CD player slot is perfect for the Razr to live with a charging cable plugged into one of the USB ports under the U-Connect 12 screen, and the iPhone just sits in the wireless charging cradle (with...

    Best AT Tires for 2022 1500 Limited 4x4 22"

    Here's my take on it all, based on the shopping around I've been doing: My plan, once I wear out the stock Goodyear SUV street tires, is to go with a lift/level kit and some 285/55R22 Nitto Recon Grapplers on the factory Longhorn rims. Most of the 'All Terrain' tires out there these days are...

    2019 Ram Limited Headlight conversion

    Ah, gotcha. The bottom one is my truck and the LED projectors are absolute white light that seems to go on forever - at least 70-80 yards out with a the top edge of light falling just short of where it would blind oncoming drivers. The high beams throw a bit more light further down the road...

    2019 Ram Limited Headlight conversion

    There are 3 basic styles of headlights: 1. standard (Big Horn, LoneStar, et al); 2. Laramie; and 3. Limited/Longhorn (LED Projectors) - there are other models/trim levels that come with each headlight configuration either as standard or optional. Standard and Laramie headlights fit the same...

    Why did you choose Ram?

    My first truck was an '85 Nissan 4x4 standard cab short bed, which I lifted and stuffed 33x12.50s under - loved it! Then, after having problems with the fuel delivery, I traded for a '78 K5 Blazer and later found out the Nissan's issues were just vacuum hoses - I was mad because I hadn't even...

    When did Ram delete the CD player?

    No worries. Just glad to hear the bigger flash drives are working well with the factory stereo. Good enough for me! (y)

    When did Ram delete the CD player?

    I have a Crucial 32GB for the same purpose. My '12 Lone Star had factory CD which lacked USB, so I swapped in an aftermarket JVC head unit to gain BT, USB, and back-up camera. When I picked up the flash drive(s), I'd had issues with a 128GB flash drive, and later learned that aftermarket...

    I'd love a bigger DEF tank...or less DEF consumption

    It was a joke fellas. But look it up - DEF is indeed 'essentially' purified water and pee, among a few other things. I'm actually surprised nobody's bio-hacked this yet so people could make their own - kinda like the ones who make home made bio-diesel from the fry-cooker oil. I wouldn't...

    I'd love a bigger DEF tank...or less DEF consumption

    Considering that DEF is 'essentially' purified water and pee, maybe this problem works itself out during the long drive with a couple of Super Big Gulps and a big bottle of distilled water? :ROFLMAO:

    Power Window Wierdness

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Like I mentioned, I first noticed it with my 2012, but never got out of hand. Just a minor annoyance now and then, more than anything. I was surprised when it seemed to transfer over to my '21 (same conditions, same exact issue), but WTF?! If they've got...

    Power Window Wierdness

    I went through a Laser Wash one day back in the late 2000s in my '97 1500. Dropped the window to put in the code, then pulled forward into the tunnel and marveled for a moment at how cool my brand-new Gibson exhaust sounded... then the pre-wash water came on. That window had never taken so...

    Power Window Wierdness

    Thanks! I'll give that a shot. I do have in-channel visors on this one, but had the stick-on units on the Lone Star.

    Power Window Wierdness

    Is it just me, or do the power windows sometimes change direction and drop about a second after you hit the button to 'auto close?' If it's not raining, I drop my windows first thing after it's been parked for a period of time (overnight, usually), just to recycle some fresh air into the...
