    Just FYI- Fuel filler hose clamp- Hope this isn’t common

    I'm even more surprised they use a clamp like that in a production environment. Slow to install and hard to guarantee tightness.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I think I recall the affiliates discount was 1% under invoice when I was pricing my Laramie in late 2019.

    Bed Utility rail installation

    Yup, same with mine, tight fit but it's light gauge sheet metal so not much resistance to rotational forces.

    Bed Utility rail installation

    You might still be able to expand them more using this technique and save the day. Be sure to lubricate the threads, nut and washer assembly prior to turning them to tighten. It wouldn't hurt to use a couple of washer together, lubed to reduce friction either.

    Android Auto connecting through Bluetooth with Android 11

    I believe you are correct. Just had Bluetooth on the brain. Thanks, just can't edit the title.

    Android Auto connecting through Bluetooth with Android 11

    Saw a mention of this in an earlier post so I Googled and found this article that explains the procedure. I went looking as I tried it by just starting the AA app but it was limited. I haven't had time to use the procedure and won't for a day or two so let me know if it works...

    2020 Uconnect Old Technology!

    WHOA!! Hey, I almost let this one slip by. I just took my A-11 Pixel 3A out to the 19 Ram and it will connect AA through bluetooth but I can't get Google maps to display on the screen just the sound. Any chance you could recall the source of the article? Google seems to be failing me in this...

    Anyone using touch up paint?

    I'll just add to the fine thoughts above ^^^, If you have small chips, use a pointed toothpick and a small amount of paint and fill the chip in a couple of steps. In many cases you can get away without the need for sanding and blending.

    2020 Uconnect Old Technology!

    Just for the record, I have Android 11 on my Pixel 3A and it works just fine on my 19 Laramie 12". I can use Google maps on the top 1/2 and play Amazon HD Music on the bottom half. Music quality remains excellent. The phone interface works like it did with 10 last week. I haven't had the time to...

    tranny damage on 2 day old rebel

    I suspect that the fluid level in a ZF tranny hasn't been check before delivery by any dealer since Ram went to them a number of years ago. It's not a simple "pull the dipstick" routine so don't blame the dealer for an incomplete inspection unless you find dirty carpets and other indications of...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    Of course it's this way because it's handled like an insurance policy, the same as Ford and GM. It's a subsidiary of FCA just as Chrysler Capital and Ram trucks. It's the way corporations have done business for generations. Studebaker had many subsidiaries in the 50's, GM and Ford also have...

    Best alternative to “Bed Utility Group” and “Wheel to Wheel Side step” options?

    Hard to go wrong with the BUG at $845 when you consider the spray in liner is about $500+. I have the rails and wish I had the lights also. The steps at $745 are about 2 - 2.5X over the cost of aftermarket or OEM purchased here or on line. The $1800 you quoted may include the power boards, if...

    Swapping From 18's to 20's

    Agree, the difference is less than the wear from a new to worn tire.

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    I don't recall exactly but it wasn't a lot. Same product so I took the low number.

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    No problem with Ziegler but late last year Clay Robbins and Robbins Motors was less money than Ziegler for my 8/125 warranty. [email protected] or they are in Manhattan KS if you want to call them.

    Thanks for the data on both trucks. I think you're on your way to finding the truck you want. Good luck.

    Air conditioning performance

    I'm not sure why you would exclude Ram as many of us have one's that function decently. My 19 Laramie L-2 will put out 42-45 deg. air on a humid 90 deg day here in Michigan (no clamp). You really need to drive the truck before you buy it and see but that's not that easy this late in the year. If...

    33 Gal tank on 2021's?

    Good catch. I went back and it is available on the Limited. Wonder why the differences.

    33 Gal tank on 2021's?

    It's hard to do as it appears to be linked to most of the upgrade package. I started with the non-e-torque but the site upgraded me to the e-torque. This says it's available so thanks for the input. I assumed I just couldn't find it, glad it's just my skills.

    33 Gal tank on 2021's?

    Did I miss it on the 2021 build I just did. The build site let's me select 26 gal at no charge but I didn't see an option for the 33. I built a Laramie fully decked out at over $62,000 w/ e-torque, L-2, 12" etc.
