    Brand New 1500 Ticking (With video)

    It's a bummer when our Ram pickups have issues as Ram dealers are more likely to be crap than quality. I'm trying to set up my first Ram dealership service appt and it's been a challenging experience. Of the three I called, two won't pick up the phone and all online reviews are horrific both...

    5th Gen Ram 1500: The $65,000 truck that will end up costing you much more

    Sorry about all of your troubles. I might want to get it fixed one last time and sell it. One could probably get a good price with today's high demand for pickups.

    Banks Pedal Monster...Installed

    The Banks website is a bit funny with no mention of Ram pickups or any gas options post 2015. Everything is Dodge. Gotta wonder if they just rebranded someone else's TC product.

    Stop your ride(s) from getting stolen!

    I bought an Amazon Ticonn faraday pouch about a year ago and it still works perfectly. Placing the fob inside the pouch and pressing fob buttons, the truck doesn't respond. Maybe new users aren't placing the fob inside the pouch correctly? There's two layers of different material with the...

    *UPDATE* $250 Rebate on ALL New Rams

    There are some places where the BonusDrive rebate is prohibited by law. California residents can email BonusDrive to request a review of personal information collected. I bet that would be an eye opener.

    *UPDATE* $250 Rebate on ALL New Rams

    BonusDrive footnotes clearly state the collected info is used to inform you of other services, products, or offers you may be interested in via BonusDrive or 3rd party. Allstate will be reimbursed and then some. Rest assured, the piper is always paid. When you visited the BonusDrive website...

    Electric "E-Bike" Hauling

    I don't have any experience with Ride88 but it looks like it should work much better than a hitch style bike rack that hangs off the back with added drivetime bounce. That's a relatively heavy little bike. The price is very reasonable though. I can tell all e-bike owners which one to rule...

    Ceramic windshield tint? (clear)

    Ceramic tint definitely helps to reduce IR related interior heat, reduced damage to the interior and your skin. I did all windows minus windshield. The pano might be a must. I was reluctant to spend money on the windshield related to slight vision changes with polarized sunglasses and...

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    That was a pleasant surprise. It'll be a few months before I give it a try. Gawd forbid I say I'm looking forward to it :)

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to contact your dealer if you've ruled out everything else.

    Anti spin Differential

    There's some youtube videos of LSD upgrades and it's a bit more involved than I assumed. Hopefully you can find a reasonable shop.

    Anti spin Differential

    Of course E lockers aren't intended for 35+mph. Think slow, slippery, hilly, rocky off-road scenarios. I don't think I would want the back wheels locked together at anything other than slow speeds.

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    Me too. And the pre-order provides a few bucks discount. I won't be due for an oil change for a few months anyway.

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    I have ramps with enough room to work under the pickup. No worries there. The filter leaks with a slight turn then requires oodles of hand twisting rotations and hand grasp adjustments before the filter can be removed. It's not so much about the oil in the filter, it's the oil waiting above...

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    I'm all for low cost McGyvering but I've tried the bag method and although it helps it still isn't ideal. Unless there's another trick, removing the oil-filled bag lets the oil saturated filter housing drip until the second bag is put in place. Plus a plastic bag doesn't provide great grip, heat...

    Oil Filter Location! UGH!

    Thanks for demoing it. I'm tempted to give the 4" a try for my next oil/filter change.

    A Dead RAM, a dishonest dealer, and a disheartened owner

    You are probably correct. They act like an insurance company gatekeeper so there is likely an incentive. Just another reason why I wouldn't buy an FCA LLC extended warranty at any discounted price and I suspect the new merger will only make it worse. There's a reason there's so many extended...

    Ram Got Beat for 2020

    One of the local dealership storage lots have been depleted of Rams whereas there's always 100 or more new Rams lined up. Maybe a combination of good sales, slower production, or a dealership not willing to risk holding inventory when/if the bottom falls out of this economy. When auto...

    Anyone know if an active air dam can...

    Sort of related. I took a close look at it when changing the oil and was surprised by how fragile and cheaply made it is. It's held in place with plastic brackets. Any slight jostle under there and I predict an expensive replacement.
