    2023 Lone Star 1500 - went from 84 miles remaining parked to empty 12 hours later

    My feelings on this are that if you drive your vehicle regularly, the chances of rodents making a home and damaging your vehicle are slim. My guess is that this most likely started while the truck was sitting parked for extended periods of time. Since the OP just purchased the truck, and was...

    2023 Lone Star 1500 - went from 84 miles remaining parked to empty 12 hours later

    You just recently purchased this truck? Edit: Just reread your post that you got the truck a week ago. Is the dealership going to take care of the rodent damage for you?

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I tend to agree with this. Vehicles get labeled as lemons, but it's because someone is failing to diagnose the problem correctly. If the problem was diagnosed correctly and repaired properly the first time, the vehicle wouldn't continue to be problem and labeled a lemon. Instead, they start...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I assume that if you don't get it over the air, the dealership will check and do any updates when it's in for service. My BMW recently was asking to do an over the air update and I declined it. After some time passed, I got a message that the over the air update was no longer available and to...

    I got the update yesterday also. Not sure what it was for either.

    I have a BakFlip. Took it off my 4th gen truck and moved it to my 5th gen. It has aged and held up well. No complaints. Someone said they have changed ownership, but I am not sure if that has effected their product or not. If I was shopping today, I would probably get another one.

    Held captive - wheel bearings?

    I changed the front wheel bearing/hubs on my 4th gen truck. They started making noise at around 150k miles or so. Drove around on it for while before replacing it. Maybe another 10k miles or a little more. Then changed one out myself and but then kept driving it looking for time to do the...

    Ok, this makes sense and clears up some of the confusion.

    I thought he mentioned he had the power tailgate and was closing it manually. That's why I posted it. I'm too lazy to go back and check the posts, so maybe I misread a post.

    Took a picture of the tailgate close button. I would assume it's on all the trucks with power tailgate.

    I would be surprised if you didn't have it. Maybe someone else can confirm, but its black button on the side of the tailgate. It's not very obvious when looking.

    There is a button on the side of the tailgate (drivers side) to close the tailgate. I didn't realize it was there at first. Now I use it all the time.

    That's true also. To be honest, years ago I use to say I would never buy a Chrysler product. All their stuff was complete junk imo. Then I owned a couple of Fords and they gave me nothing but problems. So when the 4th gen Ram came out, I liked the looks and gave it a shot. I won't lie...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    This is kind of true with all car forums. The vast majority of people only come to a forum to discuss or find a fix for a problem. When things are good they don't bother to participate or even visit a car forum. I'm not saying RAM brand is the most reliable, but even a Honda forum can scare...

    If you are unhappy, just trade it in or get rid of it.

    I'm just throwing this out there even though nobody is asking. But I am keeping my truck. I have been extremely pleased with my 2025. Just passed 12k miles. The hurricane motor has been a pleasant surprise. I thought I would be crying over not having a V8, but I was completely wrong. The...

    Placed my first order with Rock Auto. Keeping my fingers crossed

    I have had good luck with Rock Auto. I wasn't aware of the negative reviews.

    Bright White vs Tricoat Ivory White: is there a big difference?

    It's currently a $795 option on the Laramie. It's worth it imo, if you are considering white.

    This has come up a few times on the forum. Not sure what is triggering the oil level sensor. I haven't experienced it myself. Oil level is probably fine, but for some reason it is reading over filled.
