    MPG...WOW!

    Ah. Maybe that's why I've not seen any menu item for this. Thank you! Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 051844 miles.

    Will you stay with Ram?

    You're probably right about people not buying a 100 horsepower four-door sedan anymore, but that car had more than enough power for average driving and was a real pleasant car to drive. My daughter's Veloster gets about the same gas mileage, has more power and it sure is faster, but not a car...

    Will you stay with Ram?

    I know. My ex and I had a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim with a 2.5 and from here to Cincinnati we'd always get mid-to high 30s. Plus it rode like a Cadillac and was more comfortable than the Avalon that replaced it. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21...

    MPG...WOW!

    How do you configure the instrument cluster to give you the trailering miles? Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 051812 miles.

    long term ownership 10+ years

    If he's a hater then he will never have an objective opinion. I don't trust the biased opinions of haters. The latest Consumer Reports indicates the Toyota crown has tarnished somewhat. They use to get straight across, all models, high reliability ratings. Now the Avalon, Marai, Rav4, Sienna...

    Leaking rear slider

    If you are on good terms with your dealer, you could try to make an appeal to the dealer's warranty manager. they can't deny there was a problem with them, especially with the 2019s. Maybe suggest you pay the labor and they warranty the part as a goodwill gesture if they won't go for the full...

    Conventional differential to axial lock

    The Mopar kit includes the ring and pinion housing, clutches, side gears and hardware. It can (normally) be found here: http://www.moes-performance.com/Mopar_Limited_Slip_Diff_2011_up_Ram_1500_9_25ZF_p/9.25zf-lsd.htm I didn't note the part number, but there may be other sources for the Mopar LSD...

    Conventional differential to axial lock

    If you want to go limited slip, Mopar offers a kit for the ZF-style 1500 differential (9.25, 2014 & up). Don't remember the price, but with labor I'm guessing $800-$1000. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory...

    8HP75 Transmission Service

    I'm closing in on 60K miles myself and might have this done before hunting season. My dealer quoted me $700+tax.

    Replaced the nasty stock tires on my Ram

    It's funny how many different tire makes came on the 2019s. (Were tires hard to get in that time frame?) I've been lucky. Mine came with Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HTs and they've been quiet, handle very well, and are hanging in at 52,000 miles with maybe another 7-10K to go. There are probably...

    AC Emergency

    What model trim do you have? Most trims, Big Horn and up, come with a cover mounted just below the lower glove box. How could anything contact the lower portion of the HVAC box without damaging that cover? Based on the information provided, it doesn't make sense. Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram...

    AC Emergency

    Could you provide a photo of the damaged area in question? I'm confused by " hvac vent located top left corner of passenger dash."

    Exhaust Leak-Muffler

    Well, he is correct that most DTs left the factory without the nuts, however if that was sufficient why did it happen in the first place? The parts list still shows nuts being used in conjunction with the bolts, and the techs at my dealership seem to believe that without using the nuts it will...

    Sprayed bed liner

    Paid $400 at Ziebart, but that was 34 months ago. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 051383 miles.

    Used Ram prices up 28.8% from last year

    Other than the fourteen new 4th gen Warlocks on my dealers' lot, there are no other new Rams. The lone 2500 that was there a week or so ago is no longer there. They've got nine used GMs and four or five F-150s, plus two used 4th gen 1500s and a Tundra. That's it for trucks. Even if I wanted to...

    Cargo light

    Mine has always come on when I drop the tailgate, but I always leave the headlamp switch in the auto position, if that makes any difference.

    Horn beeps twice when I start the truck

    For the very first time in 34 months yesterday, I experienced the two horn beeps when starting the truck. This occurred when my passenger opened the rear door before getting in. Has not done it since. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle...
