    Navigation sucks

    I probably know the answer to this but is there a way to 100% mirror your phone's screen to the uconnect screen? Same as hooking a laptop up to a TV with an HDMI cable? That's the only way I would use the vehicle screen as a single navigation method. Phones are just too good at auto-filling...

    Running board issues

    Keep them stored on the touchscreen by going to: Safety/Driving Assistance > Power Sidestep > change from Auto to stored. Fyi if you ever disconnect the battery the settings return to Auto. Most people seem to have similar issues. I try to keep mine clean and spray the hinges with WD40 but...

    Whats the first car you drove/learned to drive on?

    The family '93 Cutlass Ciera. Had some other memorable firsts in that vehicle.

    Looking great, some nice add-on choices. Have to go research the Tazer DT now...

    Blower

    I prefer gas 2 stroke also. More air CFM/MPH and time at max throttle for your $. Also no problems with extreme temps or being rained/snowed on. My 5+ year old Husqvarna 125b sits in the truck year round. I don't want to even say how old the gas is it's run on.

    Marked drop in highway economy?

    ^x2 Seems like once oil, coolant and transmission is all warmed to 200*F and air is moving 50+ mph, the outdoor temps would affect gas mileage only barely more than the color of the truck. If internal friction and fuel-air mixes were this finicky we'd have much bigger problems than gas.

    To those who doubted… gas mileage on a 2022 Ram 1500 5.7

    The ~5k foot elevation gain is the impressive part. You probably have the etorque and non-A/T tires to thank. If you had a tail wind and/or got stuck behind a tractor trailer that would make a big difference, too.

    High Battery Voltage

    I'd 2nd replacing the battery, and clean up the connections- wire brush, dielectric grease, terminal covers.

    Windshield Frost/Snow Cover

    Coat the windshield with butter, preferably salted. I read an article somewhere seriously recommending wiping it with a vinegar/salt solution.

    33 gal tank

    Got to love NJ... leads the way ending the $100 limit, still won't let people pump it themselves.

    New Truck - Several complaints. Help/Suggestions?

    OP, the list made me chuckle. I admire it, I just hope Ram designers/engineers don't find it. Give yourself some time with the truck... Soon, you'll be able to tell which problems matter more or less. Next is realizing it's mostly either inherent to the design concept or intentional engineered...

    Early Morning Security Cam Footage

    These trucks have an electronic mind of their own. Who knows why they do some of the stuff they do. People are afraid of "artificial intelligence." Maybe they actually should fear artificial stupidity. Mine's currently on a trickle charger because it kept deploying/storing the side steps...

    Dead battery issues

    Do you have a charger you could put on it overnight? This happened to me a few weeks ago, used my trolling motor battery charger and fixed the lights and limp mode. Still getting a new battery though.

    Do I need air suspension?

    The thread title is amusing. The air suspension is very handy but it's a ticking time bomb, and there's nothing you can do about it.

    found a way to try and prevent catalytic converter theft

    Anyone try painting it orange and engraving the VIN? Seems like a thief would just move on to a different truck.
