    Screen protector options

    Just ordered one from Amazon, will see now it goes. Only 10 reviews on it but all were favorable. Wasn't going to worry about putting one on but if it will help with fingerprints and more importantly keep me from scratching the screen trying to clean fingerprints off I think it's cheap insurance.

    CD player starts randomly

    Mine still does this. May go several days without doing it, this past Friday it done it three times that I remember. Weird deal. I still get the Sirius preview channel about every time I start the truck for the first few seconds of play. I think the new system definettly have some bugs that need...

    Who else is waiting for the new tailgate?

    I don't like either of the new tailgates, RAM or GM, I think they are trouble waiting to happen and of no value to me personally.

    No parking lot is safe!

    Same here, I keep towels down over the rubber mats and shake/clean them about every time I exit the truck. Bought the wife a new Ford Edge last year, two weeks after purchase some lady parked way out at the edge of the lot beside her, threw the door open and BANG! Dent and scratch right over...

    Could the Ford Ranger EPA Fuel Mileage investigation also affect Ram?

    Non-ETorque here but my mileage is getting better. I started off pretty rough. Still not seeing the ECO light very often.

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Here's a story for ya! Took mine to dealer Friday for rear brake noise backing up. Have already been there once and they took 3.5hrs to LOOK at the rear brakes. Said had to order parts. Never heard anything so I called them, was told "Yes your parts are here, we've been trying to call" They...

    New recall on power adjusting pedals

    Had mine at the dealer Friday, they did the pedal recall so at least that is behind me. They were also working on the brake noise issues, but they botched that all up. Was there from 12:20 until 4:15!! Ram dealer incompetence is about to get to me.

    New recall on power adjusting pedals

    I'll be at the dealer today for the rear brake replacement to stop the squealing noise. Hope they can take care of the pedal adjustment recall while I'm there. I called and asked and I can never get a straight answer from them on anything. I can say it's getting old quick having to burn vacation...

    ECO mode, fuel saving mode not working

    I very rarely see the eco light at anything over 50 mph. Mostly only see it around town, 35 mph or so. I'm just about to turn 4000 miles so maybe it will began to be more active, (I Hope). I've never seen it on the interstate, 2 lane highways with a tailwind I may see it once in a while. I was...

    New Member Here - Over from the Ford side!

    Welcome Andoskyy!! As you are finding out there are several of us Ford guys that have migrated to the RAM. I too drove F-150s my entire life and don't regret a one of 'em. I was turned off by the overall staleness of the interior design of the Fords. Before I bought the RAM I went back to my...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    I don't know what part#s they ordered but they are replacing the back brakes on mine, and I'm almost certain all my noise comes from the back.

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Sounds like you hit the side of the garage and scraped all the way down the side of the truck! I didn't know what had happened the first time I heard it.

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    This noise isn't normal, I've bought a lot of new vehicles and installed a lot of brakes and never heard a noise like this backing up. Mine is going back next Friday to have the new pads installed. I had a star case number provided by FCA customer care that I took to the dealer. They looked it...

    3.92 vs 3.21 Who Wins? TruckTrend data shows...

    I agree that 3:55 would be a best of both worlds option. My new truck has the 3:21, I pull two different trailers with it. An 20' aluminum bass boat (Don't even know you have it back there & Pull it pretty much weekly), and occasionally pull a V-nose enclosed car hauler with a '75 vette in it...

    New Recall Coming: Power Steering

    Had the recall done Monday, anyone have any idea how long it takes for the recall to show completed in the RAM app, or when you check it online using the VIN? Mine still shows "Incomplete". Or did my Dealer not do something they were supposed to?

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    I noticed mine howling pretty much from the very beginning. I have 2800 miles now and have been noisy the whole way. Dealer ordered new pads (Not installed yet), but I also had this from an FCA representative that I took with me. " STAR case that may help with your brakes. It is STAR case...

    Fingers Crossed...Brake Squeal Resolved

    Mine was at the shop Monday for exactly the same symptoms. They had to order brake pads, so back to the dealer I go again. Hopefully the new pads will stop this. Sound horrible when I back out of the drive in the morning. Does it a lot when I leave work as well.

    2200 miles cold start noise 5.7L

    Mine is a little noisy at startup, especially when pretty cold outside but I don't think it excessive. This is my first Hemi so comparing to my F-150s of the past isn't really a good comparison but it's noticeably louder than any of my Ford 5.0 engines. I agree with what was mentioned above...

    Tailgate open message

    When I bought my truck the salesman told me to always shut the tailgate from the middle, right above the handle and shut it pretty hard. He said all the new 2019's he's been around give the tailgate open message half the time when you shut it from the side. I've had mine give the warning a few...
