    STINKY 2019 Bighorn 1500 5.7 Hemi

    Did you ever find out anything regarding the strange smell? Mine has nearly a thousand miles and it still stinks. I actually had it outside running, and another guy said something about it smells like someone hit a skunk. I don't notice is as much until I park it in the garage and then I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I installed roll up Gator tonneau cover tonight. I had a roll up on my 2011 Ram 2500 and really liked it. Installation was simple and it fits well. I had the heater cranked up in the garage so it would fit better. Tomorrow is the new Bedrug.

    Opinions on bed liners

    I was on the fence between a spray in liner and the Bedrug. I had pretty much decided to go spray in. After reading the comments above, I ordered a Bedrug. I got it today and will install tomorrow.

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    I was talking to my son tonight Both of my older sons have 4WD Ram 1500's. One is a Gen III and the other a Gen IV. The one with a Gen IV says he averages about 16 on the interstate and he is running about 2000 RPM's. He also said he gets much better at 55-60 where he gets over 20. I know...

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    It was pretty poor before the new tires and wheels, but I wrote it off to being new. The best instant mileage shown has been about 18 at 45-50. Generally speaking, at 55 it was 15-16 and at 70 about 14. I do want to re-program the computer for the tire size, and I am sure that won't hurt...

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    Thanks for the information. I will check it when I get home. Any idea of what the torque specs are for those bolts?

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    As for calculating the mileage I took the miles on the trip odometer X 1.09 (speedometer is off 9% due to going from 32 inch tires to 35’s) divided by number of gallons used to fill the truck. The number the computer gave and actual mileage were the same (this time). I set the cruise control at...

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    I have read through the posts on this issue and see where the TSB applies to trucks built before October 11. Mine was built after that, but yesterday I noticed a clunk when I turn left and hit any type of bump or incline, like turning from the road to an inclined driveway. To me it feels like...

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    Ok. I know, don’t bring up fuel economy again. Anyway, just checked my last tank. 80% of driving was interstate traveling 60-75. There was some two lane at 55-60, and a couple short trips to town. I averaged 13.9 MPG. Not good. I am running just under 2000 RPM (with tires I set the cruise at...

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    It has probably already been said, but do not trust what the computer in the truck says you are getting for MPG. My truck said I got 14.9 on a tank. Hand calculated was 17.9. They usually lie the other way.

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    My truck is a Bighorn 4x4 with the Off Road Package and 3:92 gears. I have the front lifted 2.5 inches and am running 35-12.50-18 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. I got the 3:92's because I knew I wanted 35's and I will do some towing up to about 5500 pounds. I know my truck is not broke in yet...

    RAM letters decals added to Rebel front grille

    It really sets it off. For me, the Rebel grill needs just a little contrast, and that is just the right amount.

    What size BFG KO2 can I fit on stock 18in wheel

    I have not done what you are asking about, but I know the tires will fit the wheels with no problem. If memory serves me correctly the factory 18 inch wheels are 8 inches wide. The 12.50 tires are generally recommended for 8-10 inch wide rims. There are guys running 35's with a 2 inch level...

    Shifter knob issues, 2019 RAM 1500, help- BRAND NEW

    Mine happens when the parking brake is off. I probably should always use the parking brake, but don't unless I park on an incline. Mine is not on autoset. I did receive a phone call from Ram Cares today. They wanted to know the result of my dealer visit. They were helpful and advised to...

    2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

    I have my lift information under owners trucks, but thought I would post my lift, wheels, and tires here. I have a Bighorn with the Off Road package. I wanted the full 3.5 up front so I used a 2.5 Motofab spacer and Readylift upper control arms. For wheels and tires I am running Method...

    Shifter knob issues, 2019 RAM 1500, help- BRAND NEW

    Did your ECM show any kind of error code, or did it simply convince them there truly was a problem? I am going to show the service guy your reply regarding what they did to repair yours. I told him there were several people on the Ram Forum who had the same problem and I told him about the...

    Shifter knob issues, 2019 RAM 1500, help- BRAND NEW

    I just got a call from the service department and I was advised they could not get my truck to replicate the problem. He advised they checked their system and my truck was not listed for any type of recall or update. He said just drive it and call when it happens again. I am not sure what that...

    I wanted the coveted #100 post but.....2WD Rebels??

    I agree the Rebel is not really Ram’s answer to the Raptor, but I think that is what most others think. Come on Ram and get that TRX built.

    I wanted the coveted #100 post but.....2WD Rebels??

    Doc, you didn' put anyone off. You posed a great question I think when most people think Rebel, they think of Ram's response to the Raptor. When people think off road, the first thought is who wouldn't want four wheel drive? When I had my 2wd lifted Ford, I would have not ordered a truck...
