    Does the 3.92 axle ratio change acceleration?

    I went from two Ram 1500s with the 3.92 axle to my current with the 3.21. My seat-of-the-pants opinion is the 3.92 will be faster off the line, but at road speeds I actually think sometimes the 3.21 is faster for passing. You'll get wheelspin pretty easy with the 3.92. The difference utimately...

    Water Stained Headliner above Rear Window

    I hope this isn't premature, but after four days of rain (sometimes hard) I believe I solved my most recent rear headliner leak. I say most recent, because this would be the fourth time. After 11 months and 17k miles since the rear window and CHMSL were replaced I again and suddenly found a...

    Can someone with a Limited Longhorn do me a quick favor?

    It looks like the stitching pattern is the same as on my Laramie, with the exception that the inner portion of the bolster is suede. I looked at the F-150 photo and I would say that seat has a much more pronounced and raised stitch area. I've never felt the stitching on my, but then again I...

    Is Saltillo Production really completely Shut down?

    Ram Heavy Duties are made in Saltillo, 1500s are made in Michigan. Wonder what else your salesperson doesn't know? Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now...

    Laramie vs Limited Longhorn exterior (please be kind)

    Accept for the headlights, the grill in the photo looks exactly like the one on my '19 Laramie. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 047907 miles.

    Laramie vs Limited Longhorn exterior (please be kind)

    The Limited has a slotted grill with a dark center accent. The Laramies have a louvered grill. There's chrome side moldings and chrome tailgate molding as well on the Limiteds. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank...

    Rear window surround crack.

    Yes. Exactly the same way. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 047848 miles.

    Laramie vs Limited Longhorn exterior (please be kind)

    Could your reaction be body color dependent? On some of the light colors I don't notice the difference that much between the Laramie. Oddly, I do find the Laramie grill more attractive (but then again I'd like to have the chrome side moldings from the Limited on my Laramie). The chrome window...

    Terrible Dealer Experiences

    If memory serves me right, Dodge dealers in particular have had historically low sales experience scores. Of course since the demise of standalones and Plymouth, they're all corporate stores now (CDJR). I've sent five people to my dealer and only one left with buying a vehicle and the ones that...

    Chipping/Flaking Rims??

    Those plastic coated wheels are more trouble than they're worth. Once the coating fail, the wheels will start to corrode. Our GM cars and a Toyota Avalon had serious issues, so bad that we ended up replacing wheels because they wouldn't hold air. Pretty sure my Laramie wheels are just painted...

    Does anyone carry an ATV in the bed?

    I carry a Kawasaki Brut Force 750 in mine. The tailgate is rated at 2000 lbs. as someone previously pointed out and I assume that specification includes the cables. I don't have the Ram Boxes so I have room to dismount the ATV when I get it up on the bed. Because I have a spacer built out of...

    What’s the most gas you’ve put in your 33- gallon tank?

    As we all know, there was no regular cab model and no 8 foot box on a DT. At least so far. I think the folks who design the marketing material and manuals got some bad info.

    Alternator Charge Voltage

    The charging system voltage will vary with temperature: higher when colder, lower when warmer. For lead acid batteries the absolute charging voltage limit for recharge should not be above 14.7 volts at 77 F (battery temperature), or 14.1 volts at 104 F. At -20 F, the charging voltage should...

    What’s the most gas you’ve put in your 33- gallon tank?

    Isn't the 32 gallon tank for the 2500? My son has a 3/4 ton Ram and his is listed as a 32 gallon fuel tank. Could be a mistake in the book or you got the incorrect owners manual. Most I put in my 33 gallon tank was 30.265. Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD...

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    Looking at your first photograph the ribs that the lamp housing screws go into are different on yours than they are on my 2019. Also, mine does have any foil near the rear edge of the headliner. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33...

    Water Stained Headliner Near Rear Corner

    I placed the paper toweling just above the rear edge of the headliner. There were no signs of water on the towel even though the rear corners were wet. This seem to verify that water was just going over the bottom lip of the lamp assembly a flowing into the channel. Bests, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500...

    Brand New 1500 Ticking (With video)

    To me that doesn't sound like the "Hemi tick" that I've heard in the past. I've not heard a "Hemi tick" get louder on acceleration.

    Big Horn vs. Larime

    My 2019 Laramie will be four years old in July of this year and if the leather is a lower grade than the Limited it has me fooled. Going on 50,000 miles and the leather portion of the seats have held up remarkable well. Having had two Big Horns in a row I was all set for another until I started...

    Water Stained Headliner Near Rear Corner

    Actually, I did that with some paper towels. As crazy as this may sound, be advised that at one point I could not detect any headliner staining going through the car wash, yet a steady over night rain would definitely leak through. Bests, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab...
