    Should RAM ditch the knob shifter ?

    we owned a 2014 with the old school column shifter and a 2014 with the dial at the same, and I have to say that I found the coilumn shifter a much more satisfying experience. Also, the old 6-speed had a very satisfying soft whine that the 8-speed (which I love for its smoothness) just doesn't...

    Rear Turn Grind

    I can't speak to your truck, but I had that problem in our Challenger a few years ago and it turned out to be the diff fluid. They used the wrong type. It's pretty unlikely your dealership would have put in the wrong fluid, but just putting this out there in case.

    Power Side Step repair

    Thanks for the info. My steps sometimes don't retract until well after I have driven out of my garage. I try to remember to listen for the retraction before I drive out, but sometimes forget. Murphy's law will probably someday strike :-P and leave me where you were after the car wash.

    Advice For New Tires For Ram 1500 Longhorn Limited

    I am on my third set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my 2020 Limited. Nice tires, but they wear fast and aren't as confident in the rain once they wear. Also run them on our 2014 Big Horn and for some reason (tire size?) they do much better on that truck.

    Which Powertrain Do You Prefer?

    I like the etorque and would get it again, even it was only for the smooth start/stop. What I probably would not get again is the 3.92 rear end. It makes truck feel quick, but sucks more fuel.

    Rust protection for your Ram

    I feel pretty lucky living in the south :-) Our 2014 (with 189000 miles) only has some light surface rust on frame (which was probably there from factory). Do you re-apply protection for every winter? How much does this treatment cost?

    Ram Trucks Reduces The Complexity Of Its 2022 Ram 1500 Lineup!

    No Advanced Safety Group on Limited? Does that mean those features are gone or are now standard?

    My AEV Clone

    Looks great. I have been watching (and drooling over) the Carli videos. Do their suspension bits really smooth out the 2500's bumpy ride?

    Can y'all help me figure out my payload?

    My Limited does not have the panoramic sunroof (which is heavy) and has the smaller gas tank. Also, it's a 5'7" bed. Other than that, it's pretty similar My payload is 1363lbs I believe. Yours will be much lower with added weight of bed, roof and gas. I'm guessing in the 900lb range. In...

    got to autozone or similar store and have them read code to get an idea of how serious it is.

    TSB #24-001-20 A/C Fix. Has anyone had it done yet? Plus are you happy with the results?

    MIne's not exactly blowing ice cold air, but I can live with it. I just know that with my luck removing and replacing dash would lead to endless squeaks. BTW, as a data point: I had a 2007 Nissan Titan that had an AC problem: the cabin temperature probe failed, so the AC just kept running and...

    Transmission Fluid Change [ 2019 -1500/8 speed]

    My 2014 has 184,000 miles on it. Trans fluid never changed. Shifts like new. Just another data point. I did get an extended warranty - that way it's on RAM if their lifetime fluid claim turns out to be BS. So far, so good. Every 50-75K is crazy IMO; I would be on my 4th fill. Even the...

    Loud blowing noise from passenger side vents

    Happens in my truck all the time. My theory is (based on my observations) that the truck puts the AC in some sort of recirc mode when I stress the truck (accelerating for passing or merging on highway, or just accelerating from a stop). Which is fine, a lot of cars do that. The problem is...

    Read your manual? Or trust the opinion of some guy you've never met on the Intertubes. Your call :-)

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    It's a problem with the previous generation (DS) as well, our 2014 received new bolts on both sides.

    How often have you used your extended (or standard ) warranty?

    I do abt. 35,000 miles/year. I have used the extended warranty on 2 of my 4 FCA vehicles (all hemis - 3 trucks, 1 Challenger). My 2014 Ram CC was the worst so far: - defective driver-side mirror - would have been almost $1000 I believe (power, heated, self-dimming, puddle light, etc) -...
