    Service 4wd when I use remote start

    Nope. Did the upgrade this past weekend and same result today when I remote started. Moving on,

    what does this sign mean

    It is an axle lock symbol. The exclamation is supposed to mean there is some sort of malfunction.

    Bain definitely has a class act to learn from. Give them good lives, I know you will.

    Proactively sealing the rear window

    I've always been taught that if it isn't broken, don't fix it. We took it on a two week trip last fall and it sat out in 4 really good rains, didn't leak. After reading thru the all the thoughts here I will leave it alone and follow my own teaching. If it does leak, I can repair it as you...

    Proactively sealing the rear window

    Does the flowable stay somewhat soft like silicone does? The flowable makes logical sense, but will it release if the glass has to be replaced? I have often thought of doing this, because the brake light leaked. But, it is garaged and seldom sits out in the rain needlessly.

    Turning Circle

    Exactly right! I truly miss having an eight foot bed and a fully optioned and comfortable cab. Don't want a 3/4 ton truck. I think a huge market is being missed.

    When you read the max payload number and not your specific payload number

    Where are the weld points on the frame?

    Cabin filter filled with snow

    That is definitely snow in your cabin filter. I've seen enough of it lately to know snow when I see it.

    seat cover for rear seat to cover carpet side - dog hair sticks to it like glue

    What Dewey has shown. I use the same set up. Put a harness on them and clip them to the seatbelt buckle. They can stand, sit, turn around and lay down. If you have to stop quick, they don't turn into flying rockets.

    Sub-Zero Temps - 2020 Ram Laramie

    ++1 for changing the battery, If it is getting on in its reliability then really cold temps will find it faster than a battery check in warm temps. I've always found preventative maintience is always less expensive and easier than breaking down in the middle of a trip. These trucks depend on...

    Rear fender flares getting blasted

    I put a set of Gatorback mudflaps on my truck when I got it. Set them out as wide as I could, they stick out about 1/2 inch past the fender flare. Along with the full length running boards, not retractable, I'm not having trouble anything near like you are.

    Service Question/Comments

    An over zealous predatory commissioned service adviser. These kind make it difficult for everyone on both sides. All you want to do is get the truck serviced reasonably at a fair price. Why does that have to be so difficult?

    Brain fart

    Sometimes those O-rings stay on the flat mating surface on the block, rather than come off with the filter. Might explain that quarter inch. You could look at your old filter for the old O-ring if you still have it. If you cross threaded it you would know it, it gets pretty tight long before...

    Phoning Home.

    They can download updates. They can upload information from the truck as well. A fact of modern life, good or bad, it's here to stay.

    RAM 3500 multiple electrical/computer issues

    Another place to look is under the fuse box cover under the hood. I saw some discussion not long ago about some loose and missing nuts holding the cables on the control board. Intermittent problems like you describe are a nightmare to find sometimes. My last truck acted similar like you...

    Loud horn sound from dash

    Might be one of the proximity sensors. I usually have to turn mine off going thru a drive thru. The other two descriptions you give makes me think one or more of the sensors has some dirt in it or they are set to be too sensitive.

    No need to change transmission fluid for the life of the truck...REALLY?

    My point was and is, my wrenching days are over except for the simple easy to get to stuff like batteries, air filters, cabin filters etc. For those of you who like to do all of your service work, good for you. I was once just like you, but I've enjoyed all I want of it. I know when the truck...

    No need to change transmission fluid for the life of the truck...REALLY?

    Nope! The proper place for us oldster's is IN the cab, NOT under the truck.
