    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not a bad idea. I am planning Linex in the future, currently have a fitted plastic liner. In the past for every truck I have had with an 8' box, I have bought whatever the cheapest sheet of plywood the hardware store had. Today, that price is getting up there. This mat seems like a classier...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Maybe qualifies more as a "with" than a "to." Dropped it off for ceramic coating and interior detail, plus tint the rear window darker and tint the front side windows to match the rear side windows. Pics next week. The ceramic is due to aphid crap getting on the truck, it is hard to wash off...

    ‘19 - GPS voice from Apple/android devices suddenly very quiet

    Before digging too deep, check the balance/fader settings. All output may be hard right or full rear.

    Even better in google is to use the site: directive. Also for any words you are certain are in the post, put them in quotes. From what I read above, I might try: "12" "usb" "rear" "panel" site:5thgenrams.com Example...

    Speedometer/Cruise control discrepancy

    Seems if cruise control runs off GPS, it is more ticket reistenat than the speedometer running off tire rotation. Agree they really should match, but shouldn't setting cruise to the speed limit be at least a defense in court? I know going to court is also a pain, but citizens should fight...

    Poor gas mileage

    It gets worse when going YY over, and then add ticket risk to even worse mileage for ZZ over. I did find my highway mileage takes a serious dip around 70 and above. Takes a bit of energy to push a large brick that fast.

    Poor gas mileage

    '22 Rebel (5.7 eTorque, 4WD, 3.90 axles). Few stop lights or signs, most roads 35 to 55 mph. Winter 87 octane, 17.5 mpg. Summer 87 octane, 18.5 mpg. Summer 89 octane, 18.9 mpg. I'll try winter 89 when that season returns, summer 89 is not worth the extra cost.

    Newbie and never thought I would be here

    It took me some days to figure out my truck had this "feature." For me, I back out of my driveway and often a bit into the weeds across the street. The timing was such that at the exact moment I would start braking, the truck would do a really hard stop. Like a broken power booster diaphragm, no...

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    I need to check that out and see if my truck has them!

    Newbie and never thought I would be here

    Turn that feature off! I don't mind a blaring alarm if the sensors think I'm too close but it is not up to the car to decide to actually apply brakes.

    Wax and polish after ceramic coating

    An absolutely immaculate surface prepared per the particular ceramic coating product guidelines. The final step usually is a thorough wipe with Isopropyl Alcohol. See instructions for the selected product as to percentage (70% vs 91%).

    Recently picked up my 2025 Rebel and the mileage is showing about 15 MPG.

    For my '22 4WD Hemi Rebel bought used about a year ago, it took some cycles for for the EVIC to settle down. It actually reads close to calculated mileage. Owners manual says 89 octane delivers the best balance of power and economy. I got 17.5 on winter blend 87, did and do now get about 18.5...

    Wax and polish after ceramic coating

    And just to be clear, the local auto parts store does not sell ceramic coating products, they sell sealants/waxes/top coats (generically waxes) which contain some ceramic. They are not ceramic coatings. This is the company used by my ceramic shop...

    Wax and polish after ceramic coating

    Ceramic does not do anything for the underlying paint, and do need to get the car impeccably clean before coating. After that, there are maintainers for specific coatings, recommended car wash soap (ceramic is sensitive to pH, never again go through a commercial car wash), and detailer product...

    New tires won’t balance - Nitto Terra Grappler G3

    Any yellow or red dots on the tire sidewalls? May be on only one side of the tire. If a tire has only a yellow dot, it should be lined up with the valve stem. It the tire has a yellow and a red dot, look on the back of the rim for a mark (or notch or dimple). Red dot aligns with that mark. If...

    Paid her off today!

    Took a small loan on my Rebel, boosted my credit score. Thinking about just paying it off or at least way down so the loan will be in good standing when it ends. Just starting to get to mods. Having owned it close to a year, I have a short list. Congrats on getting rid of the loan.
