    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    Yeah... That's one thing that really chaps my azz about FCA. The needed hardware is there (ignoring the hood switch) but you have to pay their service department's rates (usually at a 1 hour minimum, even if it only takes ten minutes) to get this stuff turned on. My selling dealer wanted like...

    Lots of issues reported, curious who’s had no issues, major ones anyway?

    My A/C is not stellar, by any means. Not even as good as my 2005 Silverado that I traded, but it was able to keep up with upper 90s(F) temps in Atlanta. So I suppose it's okay. Haven't had any of the mechanical, brake, ANC, or water leak issues that I have been reading about.

    In between lowering kit

    I went to their website and found absolutely nothing that would apply to mine. (Hope they do a kit for the 4x4 as well.) Did I miss something? Or did you just call and talk with them? Thanks!

    Lots of issues reported, curious who’s had no issues, major ones anyway?

    Mine has been quite solid other than the wonky Uconnect system. Android Auto kind of works when it wants. Drops in and out. Quite strange. But since the Bluetooth works reliably, it's not a huge deal. Turning off the truck and then restarting quickly tends to freak out the radio. Sometimes...

    Lowering Springs Questions

    I did not align mine, afterwards. Several thousand miles later, it still handles fine with no odd tire wear. In theory, it might tend to cause a bit higher (measured) caster reading, and cause a tiny increase in steering effort. In reality, it doesn't really make a difference.

    Stock wheels/ tires with a level or lift look.

    Probably not what you are looking for but I did a 2" rear drop/level on mine.

    Has anybody added the factory intrusion alarm system?

    Timmy beat me to it. That's it.

    Why I came over to Ram from GMC

    Hah! I'm lovin' it! The first truck my dad ever owned was a '72 D100 long bed, that he purchased new. He literally drove it forever. (Still owned it when he passed, in 1988.) I liked it so much that I bought a '78 D150 short bed. I'd probably still own that truck, except that I got tired of...

    AlfaOBD OEM Security Alarm Bighorn

    Yes. Mine doesn't have it either. Sorry for the confusion.

    AlfaOBD OEM Security Alarm Bighorn

    I turned mine on. You won't have a hood switch or the unlock button on the outside door handle. (That IS a "thing"... right?) But otherwise it works perfectly. (They gotta be in the cab to pop the hood, anyway, so the lack of a hood switch is immaterial to me.)

    Are our tailgates sturdy enough to support ramps, for loading ATVs?

    You all know the ramps... Those aluminum things that are sold online or at Harbor Freight. They are hung on the edge of the open tailgate and the ATV is driven up into the bed. Are our tailgates strong enough to support those ramps without bending or folding in half? (Our ATV is an old Honda...

    2019 Ram 1500 engine issues

    I had a friend who swore that GMCs were more reliable than the same year, otherwise identical, Chevys. (He was specifically talking about Safari and Astro minivans.) Until he found out they actually were assembled in the same plant, on the same line, by the same workers. Doh!

    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    Most likely, you do not. The "sentry key theft deterrent system" is the programmed fob, that is required to be in the truck, before it will start. Mine was the same way. The semantics are kind of confusing, when you're looking at window stickers and option equipment groups. Probably by design...

    Security system is not included/standard? WTH?!

    I'm sure that it can. Whether they'll do it, as a stand-alone, is another question altogether. With that said, I turned mine on with AlfaOBD. Works perfectly, with the exception of there not being a hood switch. (Which is perfectly okay with me. People around here mostly break into cabs, not...

    Rear wheel house liners

    One thing I "love" about FCA. There seems to be no uniformity, or accountability, regarding their dealer network. They all seem to be making it up, as they go. :cautious:

    I was going to drive one of these today but...

    I didn't even go to look at the GMC / Chevy up close. Even at a distance, I think they're fugly. And the magazines hated them. (2018s were a consideration, but they were all gone, by the time I was ready to buy.) Fords are... well, Fords. I love my Ram.

    What Direct-fit Muffler should I get?

    I went with the FlowFX. Instead of getting the "direct fit" version, I just had my muffler guy order the muffler and install it. Cost me $182, out the door, including tax. Took less than a half hour. Beats hell out of $310, and doing it myself. Seemed like a Win-win. :D The sound? The best way...
