    Tapping into hitch harness

    FWIW I spliced into mine for both strip lights in the bed and accessory reverse lights mounted to my trailer hitch. Pretty easy if you're comfortable with splicing.

    Windshield sensor?

    I think it's simply a light sensor for automatic headlights, and it could be for both the lights and the auto wipers.

    Lifetime Tire Alignment at Firestone

    I had it on my Grand Cherokee, and had to replace UCA's and they aligned it afterwards, no issue. Not sure all locations would do the same. I have done it on several vehicles and got my money's worth every time.

    Real world mpg with hemi etorque

    And I'm tired of people suggesting that MPG shouldnt be important to truck owners. It's important to me because it is one of many factors that go into my decision on which truck to buy. We all have different reasons/priorties/uses...and if one of mine isn't one of yours then just move on, as I...

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S

    I totally agree with this. I've had Mich Def LTX tires on a 4Runner, a GMC Sierra, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and now my Ram 1500. Always liked them and remain very impressed with their handling of snow, ice, rain, light off-roading, etc but they are noticeably louder on this truck. Not sure if...

    Front dome light switch

    Welcome and that is likely called overhed console switch or switch assembly. You can probably buy just the switch. Search the web for "mopar parts online" You will find plenty of resources there.

    Another MPG thread

    You seem to be speaking for all 5th gens, but mine, and many others regularly see over 20mpg. I have a 61mile drive to work, 95% freeway, upon which I set my cruise to 72-74mph. In the summer I average 20.9, hand calculated over many, many tanks full. In the winter I drop to about 19.5. I...

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    Unlikely, but possible. I'm pretty consistent with fuel purchase and location. Was never a problem before, but it's worth noting to pay closer attention, especially after the plug change.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    I am now very happy that I don't have eTorque!

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    Just a small bit of hesitation, mostly when cold. Sometimes I get a bit of a stumble when accelerating from a stop. Nothing significant, just different and not in a good way. I'm guessing the same thing, as I drive a lot of highway miles too. This may or may not cure the stumbling...

    What did I break?

    Electric parking brake actuator motor mount? Looks a bit big for that but I'm not sure I'm seeing the correct perspective from the pictures.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    check that...the socket is a spark plug socket specifically, made for BMW's but is quite handy otherwise.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    thanks everyone...confidence level is high. I think I have a thin wall socket to use as well.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    Got plenty of wobblers and swivels...is that really the extent of the "challenges"? If so, I'll have a go this weekend.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    I'm at 114Kmiles and getting a slight bit of stumbling at idle. I know I'm a bit late on spark plug replacement so thinking that might help. Searched the subject, came up empty, so I'm curious if anyone has done this yet and how difficult it might be. I know the actual replacement job is...
