    2024 Ram strange sound from the right rear

    My Rebel doesn't have air suspension and I hear the same thing. I always assumed it was the auto parking brake, but not sure. These new vehicles have so many sensors and auto functions, I never thought about what it was and just ignore it.

    My truck and a pole

    I wouldn't blame your raised insurance rates on the one claim you had. Insurance rates are skyrocketing. Think about it, regulations make cars crumble so much now that a 10mph impact is $10k in repairs due to crumple zones and frame shifting. Then, all of the states that mandate full glass...

    For the Ford brethren…

    Tailgate theft and tail light theft has been an issue with pick up trucks for many years. This is not new.

    Financing rebate - have to pay 4 payments?

    The issue is 100% affecting the dealership's benefit. They get additional rebates by the manufacturer based on the number of vehicles sold and the number of vehicles that they can get financed. They sell you on the rebate if financed because they want that extra amount from Stellantis. The 3...

    Earbud connectivity 2021 Ram 1500?

    Driving with earbuds in or with headphones on is actually illegal in many states. Plus the fact that you can't hear emergency vehicles, horns, etc., is dangerous. Granted, deaf people are able to drive, so it isn't only about the hearing, but deaf people are also more alert and aware to their...

    Pop/clunk noise 2021 Ram Limited

    You need to loosen all 8 body mount bolts. Only remove one side at a time, but the opposite side being loose allows the body to tilt some off the frame. To prevent any creaking or binding, move the truck a little before tightening all of the bolts to torque to allow it to sit properly after...

    Pop/clunk noise 2021 Ram Limited

    I chased a clunk when going over speed bumps or uneven terrain for almost 4 years. Another member posted details of the body mounts, so I decided to try that. It solved my issue. Took less than 1 hour to do and changes the driving experience. I did a Bilstein 5100 level and hoped that...

    25 Rebel leveling questions

    Well, as you said, the OP stated he wants this for appearance only and drives a few miles a day, so spending more than necessary is unreasonable. Now, he also mentioned the 2" puck lift. I agree NOT to do that. If you're gonna do something, do it right, but that doesn't mean go broke doing...

    25 Rebel leveling questions

    I disagree again. Just because someone isn't throwing big money at unnecessary parts doesn't mean they're half-***ing it. There's no reason to overbuild it. And it has no relation to fuel tank size scenarios. The larger tank holds more and takes you further on each fill. There is nobody...

    25 Rebel leveling questions

    Again, Thuren and Carli will be more expensive than Mopar. As you said, extreme offroading and jumping will require heavy duty, but daily driving doesn't provide that much abuse to require the heavier duty hardware. That's like buying a 2500 solely for the purposes of towing a single jet ski...

    25 Rebel leveling questions

    I'm not sure I agree with this. If Mopar puts theirs on our trucks from the factory, they should be sufficient for a daily pavement cruiser. The Mopar UCAs from their 2" level kit are extremely inexpensive at less than $60 each (68323530AA and 68323531AA).

    Pop/clunk noise 2021 Ram Limited

    Do a search. You'll find many options from sway bar endlinks, to sway bar bushings, to body mounts, to brake calipers being loose, to incorrect wheel spacers, to....

    Door closing not solid

    But, the door skin is not attached to it, correct?

    Door closing not solid

    This has been discussed before where the door skin doesn't seem to be attached to any crash bars in the door. I don't know if there is a crash bar in these doors, but most vehicles have a side impact bar in the door and the door skin is glued to that bar creating the solid thunk. Others have...

    Driver's side cabin leak - front

    What year is your truck? I don't have the issue, but I've seen some say that the culprits could be the pano roof drains not being connected, the cowl drains under the wipers are plugged up, or the seam sealer inside the fender at the firewall is not correctly applied allowing water in.

    2025 Ram 1500 Alignment Problems

    What happened to the days of aligning a car based on a level for camber and string for toe? Will that work? I had similar issues with my '87 Camaro. The specs defined for that car were also out of whack. I plan on taking my truck to a local shop that lifts trucks and does alignments. I...

    Update to Truck Going Nuts

    When working with the service department, be sure they replaced the parts with the correct year part. I had an issue with a 2015 Scat Pack where service couldn't resolve an issue. They started throwing parts at the car when they finally found the problem. After getting the car back, I had all...

    How to replace body mounts... Procedure video?

    It's not just the lower portion of the mount that needs replacing. The top portion is redesigned with rubber isolation surrounding the bolt hole. The current mount has isolation only in 2 places, causing the metal sides to impact each other during articulation, causing the clunk. The best way...

    How to replace body mounts... Procedure video?

    The 1500 is a 1500. So they use the same body mounts
