    The Hemi is back!?!

    I bought mine 3 months ago and considered the Chevy. The current gen seems to have engine and trans issues, and didn't want to take a chance. So hopefully their next gen will not have as many issues. Could end up being the only option for a V8 in a half ton.

    The Hemi is back!?!

    They didn't get rid of the V8 because they wanted to, the EPA is making that decision a no brainer. So really don't think they're 'bringing it back'. I believe they're already paying fines because it is still being used this year. You can still get a V8 F150, but slim pickings. Not likely to...

    Lifts Levels and MPG

    33's will fit stock. So if you only want to do 33's, either keep it stock, or a small level. For 35's, you could still to a level or up to 4" lift. A quality lift and shocks will likely give you a better ride. Aside from MPG, keep in mind that turning radius will be worse with taller and/or...

    How to tell what stereo system I have

    If you replace the speakers, need to connect an ANC (active noise canceling) bypass. If not doing an amp or DSP, the ohm's (2, 3 or 4 I think) need to match the OEM. Otherwise you're going have strange issues. Read up on other threads on here, it will make more sense. Start with the ANC...

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    Same problem here with my '23. If I make a normal turn (left turn) it usually doesn't shut off. If I make a more drastic turn, it will turn off. Figured I'll wait until it's ready for it's first oil change to take it to the dealer. Though I feel like they're going to tell me it's normal or that...

    Dealer refusing work

    Hopefully there's another dealer close by. Sounds like you got a deadbeat service dept there. Luckily I have probably 5 dealers within about 30 minutes. I know others aren't that lucky. You could call Ramcares and report them, but that will maybe get them a slap on the wrist and make them bitter.

    USB Audio - Not remembering last song played

    Per above, sounds like if you move all your music to the root of the flash drive (no folders) that might fix it. I haven't tried this yet. I just try to remember to change it to Sirius or FM radio before shutting off the truck. I plan to take mine in at 5000 miles for it's first oil change...

    5th Gen Ram Bighorn stock max tire size fitment (no mods or upgrades)

    Rebel take offs are 33 X 18. Good deal if you like those wheels. Some 18's fit, some don't.

    USB Audio - Not remembering last song played

    That's a weird one. What is the radio size in yours? Ever ask the dealer about that one? Either defective, or might be fixed by an update.

    USB Audio - Not remembering last song played

    I don't have this problem.

    USB Audio - Not remembering last song played

    That sounds correct. I have a ton of folders. Each artist has a folder. Plus a folder for a playlist. I'll have to figure a way to re-organize.

    First oil change

    I have 2300 miles on my 2023. I plan to get the first oil change at 5000 miles, then every 5000 after.

    USB Audio - Not remembering last song played

    When playing music from my USB drive: If I leave it playing when I shut off the truck, it will lose my spot and start over at the first song on the drive. If I remember, I can change to any other sources (FM or Sirius) and then it will remember where I left off. Is there a fix for this? Or is...

    Anyone have their key fobs stop communicating with the PCM after their battery died?

    Not in my Ram, but had that happen with a 2011 Lexus. The battery was totally dead so the key FOB didn't work, even after I jump started it. After I drove it for a few hours, the key fob worked again.

    Security system/tracker not on app?

    I've had my '23 Big Horn for around two months. I haven't seen anything in that app that is worth paying $14.99 / month. Ford gives you app usage for free, nice to have for my wife's Expedition. I'd have to think about $20 / year for that app. Definitely not $14.99 / month. Pretty disgusted...

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    I haven't kept up on the colors. Bought my '23 new about two months ago. At that time, Granite Crystal was not listed.

    GO RHINO 2 SPORTS BAR

    Looks like it will fit. I'd contact the MFG.

    Sim Card or DCM location

    Are we talking about the wifi hot spot? Guess I assume that nobody activated that. I'm sure my kids might like it for their nintendo switch, but I'm not going to pay for that. Everyone can access the Internet on their phone anyway.

    Sim Card or DCM location

    There's a sim card? I've read many that have upgraded to larger radios. Never seen a sim card mentioned.
