    Paint Cracking at Edge of Hood

    The pic isn't the best, but it looks like the hood has been repainted to me. I worked in an automobile assembly plant for 5 years, mostly in the paint department. Paint has what is a called Distinctness of Image or DOI, which is basically how clear the reflection is. Your hood's reflection...

    Auto Comfort - Setting won't save

    My Auto Comfort has this problem also. Won't save any changes but turns on the heater and defroster even though the setting is "off"

    Transmission fluid change?!

    I'd like to see the receipt of what was included for $450. I'm guessing the pan/filter is $300-400 and the fluid is 6 quarts at $20-30 at the dealer.

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    I thought about doing this and might have if the allen key in the socket hole didn't work

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    So I completed the fluid change this weekend. The procedure at Blauparts.com is pretty spot on. One item to note. When removing the 10mm pan drain plug, there is very little clearance between the drain plug and the exhaust crossover. To the point where a hex bit socket likely won't fit, or you...

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    So yesterday the fan kicked on again, and I made a point to turn off the AC. That didn't make a difference. The fan kept on running even though the coolant temp got below 200 degrees. I'm wondering if there is another parameter the system is looking at to control the fan. I did notice the...

    Transmission issues after New tires

    It's been awhile since your post, but I would guess your new tires weigh significantly more than the old ones. You wouldn't think an extra 5-7 lbs per tire would make a difference, but it does. Also the rolling resistance can make a difference as well.

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    I think I might have (it was almost 80 yesterday here in Houston). Just wondering how the system is suppose to operate.

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Has anyone ever noticed that sometimes when the electric fan kicks on, it doesn't want to turn off until the truck is turned off. Sometimes it will turn off when the engine temp decreases, but yesterday it didn't. I got stuck behind an accident, coolant temp rose to 220+, the fan turned on, and...

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    Hmmm, so what is the issue with trying to purchase parts at a good price in order to save a few dollars?

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    I have heard some pans are deeper. The BMW part I purchased measures exactly the same as the pan on my Ram 1500 RWD.

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    Yeah I know the debate on the fluids. I won't rehash that now. As far as the pan, I believe it should be the same. I've replaced the pan/filter on a BMW with a ZF 8HP transmission before and will make sure to match the old and new before proceeding.

    2019 RAM 1500 HEMI TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE

    I just purchased a genuine BMW/ZF filter for under $90 shipped from Bimmers.com (BMW Auto Trans Oil Pan (With Filter) 24118612901 - ZF 1087298247). Haven't decided on whether to purchase the Mopar fluid from Amazon or Valvoline Maxlife from Wal Mart.

    Coolant Temperature rides when Idle.

    Your truck is doing exactly what is designed to do. When moving, the air moving across the raditor cools it. When at idle, the fan has to pull air across the radator.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    CCH, is this still working? I don't have a really bad issue refueling, but it does seem to get worse with colder temperatures and when the tank is nearly empty.

    Is RamCares Still Active????

    So, has anyone heard from @RamCares lately??? I've messaged them about an issue and haven't heard back. When I searched, I don't see much content from them over the couple of weeks, but I don't know if I'm missing something in the search.

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    My 2019 Ram 1500 has developed a leak at the rear window lately. I have maybe opened the rear window 2 or 3 times since I've owned the vehicle. @RamCares I've sent a message to see if you can assist. Please check your inbox.

    Rear Window Water Leak

    Ok, I know this one isn't new, but it is new to me. My 2019 Ram has developed the rear window leak. I do see the trim above the window cracked at the locations where the water intrudes into the truck. What is the normal fix for this and has anyone in Houston had any luck getting any of the...
