I figured I'd find a forum thread about this. I noticed the other day that my CarPlay interface changed and now it's a nightmare. I figured either the iOS or the Uconnect software changed and created a compatibility issue. I haven't been driving my truck but once a week for the past few...

You lost me at "Soft sidewall isn't a thing". I understand geometry and that not all alignments are created equal, but sidewall stiffness IS a thing, and different tires have different sidewall thicknesses and load ratings. It's stamped on the side of each tire. These Bridgestones have a...

I spoke with a tire tech at Discount Tire and he told me that he sees this excessive outer wear on EVERY new Ram they get in the shop with the Bridgestones. He also suggested running 40-42 psi to reduce the wear, but the soft sidewall appears to be the culprit. Ride quality over longevity...

I've got 26k on my Bridgestone 20's now and they are pretty much shot from the outside wear. I'll never get to the wear bars before the side lugs are bald. I was running factory 36 psi and rotated every 5k, but they still wore uneven. Looks like I'll be running 40 psi when I replace them to...

I'm having the same issue. Didn't really notice it until I hit about 20k and tried adjusting the tire pressure from 36psi to 40psi, but its too late to save them. I can see fresh wear on both front outer edges whenever I go on short road trips (150-200 miles), so its definitely plowing. I was...

I may be jinxing myself, but after taking my truck to a different dealership to have the brakes replaced (again) with the latest TSB parts, things have really improved. It initially squealed when I picked it up, but after a break-in period things quieted down and I've had 5k of silent miles...

You got my attention on the phone issue. I've had similar problems with my 12" Uconnect making calls where the other person cannot hear me. It usually corrects itself if I hang up and dial back or they call me back. It's happened about half a dozen times on me now. I thought it may be an...

I'd say $44k is definitely in the ballpark for private party on a $60k Laramie loaded w/options. I ran the numbers on mine the other day and was depressed at the first year depreciation. I usually keep my trucks 8-10 years, so I hadn't really paid attention to it before. The first owner is...

Looks like once again I'm following in the footsteps of others with early build issues. My passenger's side mirror started to fail last week. It now folds maybe once every two to three attempts, and makes a terrible noise while "popping" into place. I think it's self-destructing. I just had...

I hadn't noticed the difference in A/C performance until I spent a week in a '19 Ram 1500 "Classic" while my truck was unsuccessfully being repaired for the brake squeal, A/C noise and downshift bump issues. The A/C in that truck was FREEZING me out. Then I got back in my truck where I enjoyed...

I've had my truck in FIVE times now for the squeal, and still no resolution. This latest visit was under the watchful eye of Ram Cares and they assisted with visiting a second dealership after a less than thrilling week of no truck and no resolution at my original dealership. This dealership...

I'm leaning towards replacing my Bridgestones with the Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 275/60R20 as well once the OEM tires wear out or quit gripping. I just replaced the tires on my daughter's Cherokee Trailhawk and was going to get the Falkens but my tire guy recommended the Toyo Open Country AT2 as...

I'm working with FCA Customer Care now on this very issue. The dealership had my vehicle for a week this time (this was squealing brake visit #3) but gave it back to me with the same squeal while claiming it had been repaired. I had previously provided them with the TSBs which they completely...

I'll be taking my truck back in this week for the brake squeal while they change the oil. I don't have time to take it every time they start squealing, but I might start doing that until they fix it. I tried to help them last time with TSB information but they seemed offended that I even...

Add one more truck to the ever growing list with this problem/phenomenon. It happens to me on longer road trips on hot summer days. I didn't notice it until late June or early July here in the south, but now it happens pretty much any time I drive 1 1/2+ hours on the interstate during the...

You may be right about the rushing air through the vent. I'll have to ask my passenger to put their hand out against that vent the next time I hear it. I also noticed it happens more often on long trips, but I was thinking wind noise because of cross-winds on the interstate. I'll dig through...

My squeal came back after an emergency stomp on the brakes when a $%$&&# cut me off. Since that time, it's also developed the moaning sound when backing up out of my driveway in the morning. I'm pretty sure it's the rear brakes and what the TSB addresses. I went back and looked at my last...

Well after my last visit I'm happy to report that no squealing after 1500+ miles from a road trip down to Florida. The last time it was in the shop they replaced one front rotor, refinished the other one, and performed the rear brake TSB. I don't know which end was squealing, but (knock on...

I was worried about A/C performance after reading so many complaints and knowing I have an August 2018 build truck, but I am happy to report that as it has gotten warmer here (90's the last several days), my A/C is blowing cold like all my Chrysler/Dodge Ram vehicles have in the past. I have no...

I had my front rotors and pads replaced last week, but after a week of relatively quiet driving and a few quick road trips (500+ miles) the squeal came back. They didn't replace my calipers, and it had me wondering. I already have an appointment to take my truck in next week for them to...
