    2025 RAM 1500 Parasitic Battery Drain

    Tenders can vary from a pitiful .75 amp, then either 1 or 1.25 amp then up to 2. The smallest ones are often for motorcycles, golf carts and the like. Most newer vehicles would need the 2 amp size. Noco has several choices, I used anoff brand HF model that worked fine. Get the plug in with...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Always good to publicize the scammy vs the good dealers for the benefit of others. Maybe the bad ones will see some sales volume drop because of this. It’s pretty certain that the honest dealers will get increases in volume.

    If calculating the discount, is discounted price BEFORE or AFTER adding the tax/tag and stuff?

    I should have been more specific. The F&C charges can include all kinds of treatments, service plans/warranties and various types of "protections" as opposed to the dealer using an add-on sticker beside the msrp.

    If calculating the discount, is discounted price BEFORE or AFTER adding the tax/tag and stuff?

    Gotta' be before fees and add ons. If you go into Finance and come out with 10K in add ons for insurance, bs treatments etc, it wouldn't make sense to use that ending number, IMHO. You can't do an apples to apples comparison if you include fees as each dealer varies and each customers finance...

    2025 RAM 1500 Parasitic Battery Drain

    Just seems like it's much more prevalent. Out of my last two RAMS its been 50%. My last two Fords (2014 Edge and 2015 F150) 0%. I used a tender on the 2019 RAM due to many (this forum) reported issues in 2019/2020 and it still died at 16 months. I had to jump it to trade it off. It's not the...

    Frustrated 2020 RAM 1500 Owner with Battery Drainage

    The old fashioned way was to pull fuses one by one while watching the voltmeter, dunno' if that is still done with these new trucks. "To isolate a parasitic drain, use a multimeter to measure the current draw from the battery while systematically removing fuses one at a time; when the current...

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    The more I read and watch as well as talk with the guys at work, the less enthused I am about the PC. Might just leave it stock. I barely crack 4K rpms anyways.

    2025 RAM 1500 Parasitic Battery Drain

    Gotta wonder what's happening...🙄 So many reported issues. I'm aware that all the electronics are probably at least partially to blame yet sheesh guys, this wasn't an issue even 10 years ago for the most part. Peeps are paying 25-33% more for a truck that isn't as reliable. Sad. Our...

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    My 3 biggest concerns are when pulling (creeping) forward into a parking garage, backing into a spot with a solid obstacle and any kind of limp mode. Sounds liked Banks may have those covered, ie no extra lag reduction in reverse?

    Agree with above. Your truck, your mods… Well, I draw the line at the “Carolina squat”. 🙄 Still see a few of those around here. The final lasting un-impression is the blown out beer can mufflers…🙄

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    Hi all, Looking for any recommendations between these accelerator pedal drive by wire "reduce lag" devices. Prices seem comparable, just need this kind, not a tuner. 30 day returns, 2 year warranty seems pretty standard, have seen other forum posts saying they can cause codes, lights and...

    2025 RAM 1500 Parasitic Battery Drain

    I briefly read the post from 3rdRamSad and noticed that after the dealer replaced the battery it was stone dead again. I wouldn't trust that replacement battery now. Hope it gets resolved, hard to see how your key storage or other items etc is doing this in 5 days. Imagine leaving the truck in...

    Excellent write up. Very state dependent as well. Sounds like you had a GM truck, based on the YT towing vids I’ve watched…
