    Roll up bed cover

    There are two retention straps on the underside of the cover. When you roll the cover back you slip the straps into the tabs to secure the cover in the rolled position.

    Back headliner on my 2019 dodge limited is wet

    I have a 2019 1500 limited that is not leaking yet. Several of you in the thread have recommended a marine grade gasket available at Lowes or Home Depot as a replacement for the third brake light OEM gasket. What exactly are you referring to when you say marine grade and what does it look...

    Look at these dealer fees- they still do this??

    Agree with you on this. If at the last minute the dealer tries to stick you with some ridiculous fee your response should be that either the price of the truck is lowered by the same amount or the trade in value is increased by a like amount. This is also true for any so called non-negotiable...

    SiriusXM Plans & Strategy

    I have had Siriusxm for four years now and never paid more than $100/yr for the All Access plan. Giving a credit card is no big deal as when the renewal notice is sent at their prevailing high rate all you do is call and tell them to cancel your service. They always come back at a lesser rate...

    Water Bottle Storage Hack?

    Buy two 20oz bottles and use both holders in the center console (just kidding).

    Blocked/Blurred license plate

    In my neck of the woods folks blur their plates in an attempt to defeat red light cameras. They are a big money maker for local jurisdictions.

    Water pooling on Truxedo LoPro.

    Interesting. I replaced the OEM tailgate liner with a weather tech liner and found the tailgate was difficult to close unless the tailgate was closed first so the header seal was on top of tailgate. Also, my addled brain came to the conclusion that if the seal was not on top of the tailgate...

    Water pooling on Truxedo LoPro.

    I noticed from your pictures that you have open stake holes in the back. I have stake hole plugs like in the picture from Rick J above. No water in the bed at all even when the pooled water sloughs off over the tail gate. Also, I assume the rubber gasket on the cover is on top of the tail...

    Water pooling on Truxedo LoPro.

    I have the same product and the same problem. I don't worry about it much as it will get only so deep and sheds off when moving out of the driveway. I would worry if it leaked into the bed but that has not happened.

    How do I know if it is a 5th gen?

    Another dead give away is the 5g badging is on the hood while the 4g badging is on the sides of the front panels. Were you told it was a 5g when you bought it?

    AGM or Lead Acid Battery

    WOW!!! Six months later you are the only one to answer my original question. Thanks for your input. My first thought was that if it didn't have the AGM markings it probably wasn't. I even asked the service guys at the dealership and they were split on AGM or LA. I would have thought that...

    Tried to order a ram

    Here's an interesting web site to help determine MSRP vs Dealer Invoice vs True Dealer Cost. When buying a new rig information is power. https://www.car-buying-strategies.com/dealer-invoice/ram-1500-4wd-prices.html

    Took ownership of pre-owned ‘19 Limited, service cost??

    I did the same as you. Go here to register the truck with mopar and get all the info you are asking for. https://www.mopar.com/ramtrucks/en-us.html Full synthetic oil and filter at my dealer runs about $100. I change it when the oil life gauge says its time or 7500 miles, which ever comes...

    12" Screen Protector - the OCDplug

    If you follow the instructions they are very easy to install yourself. Key is to get the screen absolutely clean and free of finger prints and other oils before installation. I used clean cotton gloves and used the supplied tool to remove any air bubbles. Be extremely careful not to touch the...

    Seller's right to cancel??

    After reading your thread I'm getting a little confused. Your original post said you and the dealer verbally agreed to an OTD price but the documents you signed had a price $837 higher. You further stated you contacted the dealer and they said to come back to signed a revised corrected...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    As Heninator above said there is not enough info to determine if it's a good deal. You should compare it to a straight loan and see what works best. Also, it's not uncommon for you get some sort of rebate for entering a factory lease or loan. Some will also tell you not to put anything down...

    Brake moan when cold / dealership frustration

    The brake moan is a well documented issue and is covered in TSB 05-002-19 (dated April 25, 2019). The TSB states "If the customer describes the symptom/condition listed above, perform the Repair Procedure." This means the dealer DOES NOT have to replicate. Take a copy of the TSB to the dealer...

    AGM or Lead Acid Battery

    It's my understanding that "maintenance free" lead acid batteries don't have cap to top off the cells, they are completely sealed.

    AGM or Lead Acid Battery

    I wish I would have thought of that sooner, I could have saved a lot of time. The next time I think I'm out of gas I'll disconnect the gas tank and shake it.

    Ram completely dead! Keys don’t work can’t do anything.

    For what it's worth I had the exact same issue last week. Truck completely dead. Opened with the key in the fob and alarm went off. Had to jump to get it started. Started looking around and noticed the nut on the bolt securing the cable to the positive battery post was almost off making for...
