    what exactly will i loose when i delete the shark fin antenna? no clear answer found searching for days.

    Just to be sure I checked the service manual. Jimmy07's response is correct. 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: 051331 miles.

    Ford keeps pushing the envelope...

    This probably just me, but wouldn't you want to know how much you're loading on the truck before you actually load it? Seems like you could potentially save some labor by not unloading.

    2021 Hemi Etorque Fuel tank upgrade

    I suppose it's possible, but I think unlikely for this particular part. It's more likely that the sales person in charge of ordering at the dealership just checks off default boxes unknowing of the standard equipment. That's why for every Ram on a dealer's lot with the Canyon Brown interior...

    6 cylinder Rams

    I drove a Ram 1500 4x4 a few years ago with the Pentastar V6 and I was truly impressed with its performance. I have neighbor with one and he claims 20 MPG around town and a consistent 28 on the road. Best of luck with your new truck. Enjoy! Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver...

    Window Tint Install Opinion

    I've seen dozens of tinted window jobs and never seen anything like that. 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: 051170 miles.

    Controlling cabin dust?

    Your des It's hard to judge from your description of the problem. How much dust is "so dusty." I get some accumulation over the course of 10-15 days, but compared to my past vehicles it's 95% less. I think most of that comes just from opening and closing the doors. Dust can get into the...

    Automatic Car Wash and Electronic Transmission

    I know exactly what the original poster is saying. I had this problem on my 2014 with the 8-speed. I quick tapped the brake and shifted, rarely did the rollers pushing the vehicle go under the tires. My 2019 is different. As long as the vehicle is rolling enough to see 1 MPH on the speedometer...

    Why so much hate for MDS and auto stop/start?

    Relative to the supposed issues surrounding MDS, specifically reliability, all of the "theories" put forth as to why there's lifter/camshaft failures are just that - theories. So far nothing has been empirically proven to be the cause, whether it be high idle time, poor lubrication or other...

    Why so much hate for MDS and auto stop/start?

    The only vehicle I've ever driven with Start/Stop was a golf card. This is my third Ram with MDS. Works great and never been an issue on any Rams that I've owned.

    How to disable voice notifications of texts

    Yep. That's how I did it. 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: 050607 miles.

    How to disable voice notifications of texts

    Well, I know you can do it because I switched that feature off on mine for the very same reason. I just can't remember how I did it. I have the 8.4 inch screen, if it matters. Let me go through the menu again and maybe it will jog my memory. Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver...

    Larger oil filter on a 4x4 1500?

    My 2010 and 2014 Hemis came with the MO-899 filter (04884899A), which has a slightly larger body and increased media. Apparently sometime in the 2014 production run the factory began shipping 5.7 Ram 1500s with the smaller MO-339 (04892339A) oil filter. Although the MO-899 is now spec'd for the...

    My New 'Big Ho'

    Laramie seats recline as long as it isn't a Quad Cab. Quad Cab seats do not recline. 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: 050555 miles.

    My New 'Big Ho'

    I concur. I track all my fills and to-date my life time average fuel economy is 19.74 MPG (hand calculated) with a life time EVIC error rate of + 0.19%. Judging from one fill to the next can be misleading, and I've recorded fills where the EVIC is off 4-6% to the positive. I've also recorded...

    Looking to buy a Ram and have a couple of questions for you experts!

    "Classic" means it is the 4th generation Ram 1500, body code DS, as apart from the 5th generation (current generation, 2019 and up) which are body code DT. The 4th gen Classics were so popular they continued production after the 5th gen release. Other than engine and drivetrain there are few...

    Looking to buy a Ram and have a couple of questions for you experts!

    Because you state that the vehicle is an SLT, I'm suspicious you are looking at a 4th generation Ram, or what is now known as a Ram Classic. Can you supply us with a VIN number? Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel...
