    Non- uconnect remote start?

    my '19 laramie remote start always worked after the uconnect ended. I have only heard of a few other brands that have made stuff like remote start a monthly service fee. the fix probably is use the key fob and not the phone.

    How is it that some dealers still have new 2022's on the lot?

    I watched a video a cpl. months ago where a guy had visited a couple of ford dealers to see how well the electric trucks were selling and the two dealers he went to only had a few but they were 1 and 2 years on the lot and were all over 100K. he said at that time nationwide there was a 377 day...

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    I dont buy higher than laramie so I hope that motor is a not crazy expensive upgrade at the laramie level.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I am amazed that 76,000$ for a 1500 is considered a good thing. Ahh the good ole days of 2019 when I bought a new 57,775$ laramie 1500 4x4 ccsb/ 5.7/ 3.92/ ORP/ 33gal tank/ e-locker/nav/ sport hood and just about every other option for 43,000$ out the door.

    Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

    We drove mine many times to ski in new mexico at Taos and Red River. my '19 laramie was 4x4/3.92/33gals/ORG and did great in the mountains and on snow. I put the Helwig bar on to stiffen up the rear end when towing. better handling when not towing was a side benefit.

    Towing the new camper

    I have enjoyed following your towing story. had my own '19 laramie 1500 4x4 ccsb 5.7 with 3.92 and pulled our 28' 6000# travel trailer all over the place but traded our trailer for a 5th wheel and so had to go dsl hd and bought a '22 ram laramie 4x4 ccsb 6.7 to tow it. our old setup was great...

    Towing the new camper

    what do you guys typically do for pump out after staying a while at one of the Harvest Host locations

    Please post your Tire and Loading sticker

    you can easily tow a nice travel trailer with a 1500. I towed our 28' 6000# travel trailer all over the place with my '19 laramie..BUT it had the 5.7 and 3.92 rear end and 33 gal tank and off road. I could easily cruise at 70 on the highway but of course gas mileage would suffer at maybe 8...

    Hellwig sway bar and towing

    I swapped the sway bar on my laramie for the Helwig and I have it on the middle setting. It helped take some of the shimmy out of the rear end when towing our 28' 6000# travel trailer. I also run a few more # air in the tires and I have airbags on the rear which I put 25# when towing.

    Trailer TPMS

    I have read a few towing blogs where folks have said they need to be on metal stems as they seem to cause the rubber ones to eventually leak.

    Trailer TPMS

    did you change the trailer stems to metal ones or just mount transmitters on the oem tire stems

    No Hellwig for Christmas

    just about everything is way high now. just hope nobody swipes your catalytic converter. seems they have doubled in price. according to the money guys, all next year will be more of the same so may as well bite the bullet. swapping out the sway bar is a worthy upgrade. I shop everyday for a new...

    How do I find the axle ratio of my RAM?

    sounds like you are running some lower gears.

    How do I find the axle ratio of my RAM?

    I have 3.92 rear end and am glad I do. the truck has plenty get up and go and it is a great gear for towing. at 70 I think the rpms are around 1900 and when not towing I nearly always get 20 mpg if I stay under 80.

    G/T hood advertised as functional

    I have the sport hood..just for looks. as for the air box. there are other blogs about it. most say the oem one works well. out of habit, I put a K&N type filter in mine right after I bought it. I have used them for many years in all my vehicles. buy once and rinse out every year unless I...

    Navigation Subscription

    I dont pay anything and I still get weather alerts on the screen..not sure why unless they are coming from siriusxm which I subscribe to. I dont have unlimited phone data so wont be using it for nav and besides none of the places I have driven to the last few years have moved.

    New 2022 Ram 1500 with Underperforming MPG

    I dont do much city driving with mine. bought for towing our travel trailer and for travel. I always get around 20 on the highway and I normally cruise in the 75-78 range. I mostly set cruise and I only use regular gas. YMMV
