    Considering a Ram 1500, but concerned about reliability... New to 5GenRam

    . Absolutely zero problems with my 2020 Laramie Longhorn 4x4 EcoDiesel. Never once back to the dealer for any warranty issue or complaint by me. Battery went dead once when I left it parked for a month, but that was more my fault than the truck's fault. . If by chance you do take one off the...

    Ok how many here have 0 problems with eco D

    . Well, if it wasn't for the EcoDiesel, you wouldn't have the GM 3.0 L Duramax. Think of the 3.0 L Duramax as your "Gen 4 EcoDiesel" ; -) . Seriously, though, I was listening to Season 2, Episode 27 of the Truck Show Podcast a couple of weeks ago, the guy being interviewed was Scott Birdsall...

    Did I make a mistake getting a RAM???

    As "A-Team" mentioned above, the first thing to do is disconnect the battery for at least an hour, preferably two hours. Reconnect battery and leave the vehicle alone for another two hours. Drive it for an hour, preferably on the highway, turn it off and leave it alone for another two hours with...

    Did I make a mistake getting a RAM???

    . Ram has had more infotainment issues recently because of the switch to Uconnect-5, but they'll get on top of the issues. Uconnect-5 is a TOTAL overhaul compared to Uconnect-4. . Uconnect-4 was based on the QNX operating system, an old, well-proven, well-honed, ultra-reliable operating system...

    Ok how many here have 0 problems with eco D

    . Yeah, I know, throwing multiple codes, and especially if yours is running in "limp home mode" makes it seem catastrophic. But with these fully-computerized vehicles, with multiple individual computers trying to talk to each other, and the slow nature of automotive computer updates, sometimes...

    Here Is Why Ram’s Multifunction Tailgate Is Awesome!

    Thank you for the coverage of the MFT, you mentioned all of the things I love about mine. My 2020 MFT is the best $995US I've ever spent. . The ability to swing open the left side and use the dropped center section of the rear bumper as a step, and placing one's left hand on the open gate to...

    Ok how many here have 0 problems with eco D

    . Could also be an incomplete or interrupted reboot sequence after an unannounced OTA update. I've never had one single issue with this truck until I had three weird things happen a few weeks ago (1) After shutdown an igniter of some sort (a foot or two forward of the rear axle) clicked on & off...

    Ok how many here have 0 problems with eco D

    That's great to hear. Which rear-end ratio does your truck have? 3.21 or 3.92?

    Ok how many here have 0 problems with eco D

    No issues with my 2020 EcoDiesel. 25-27 MPG (hand calculated), usually hauling only air.

    Multi-Function Tailgate Misalignment?

    . My 2020 Laramie Longhorn MFT is aligned perfectly. When using it in barn-door mode, the left door does need to be closed very firmly. When I close mine, I keep the palm of my hand against the door to damp out the inherent springiness of the MFT's barn doors, in order to make sure it doesn't...

    Converting Your Rambox Cargo Divider Into a Bed Extender

    . I appreciate your thoroughness in your posting of photos & Mopar part numbers. However, when I copy & paste your PNs above into Mopar search, for the -AA part it says that -AB is the replacement: . . Also, elsewhere on that Mopar webpage is states the -AB PN is only for the right side...

    1st Time Ram owner

    . Welcome! I hope you enjoy your new Ram as much as I love mine. Hopefully you have a good dealership service department where you are...that makes all the difference in the world, regardless of make. . Maybe see if passive entry is a dealer-installable option? That way there should be no...

    F-150 Lightning Epic tow test fail

    . There is definitely some truth in what you say. But, really, it has been a combination of government and private industry that has made the US so successful (so far). . It works best when we allow the government to fund research that private companies otherwise would never do, because of...

    No more diesel.......

    . Yes, with the refreshed engine, GM raised the service interval on the oil-pump drive-belt from 150 k miles to 200 k miles. .

    RAM grab handle mount

    Maybe find an enthusiastic young person who can design a custom mount for you in CAD and then 3d-print it? There's so much they can do now online, with student editions of online CAD and either their own 3d printers, or send the files off to an online 3d-printing service. Mount it elsewhere low...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    . I didn't sign up for the $100 "early access" nonsense because I have lost my trust in Ram. I signed up for the "Ram Revolution" program a couple of years ago, as soon as it was offered, because Ram said they wanted to hear from existing Ram owners for input. That was a complete ruse, because...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    . I myself am very disappointed in Ram. Not for losing the radical styling and the silly "suicide doors" of the Revolution concept truck, but for losing all of the truly useful work-related features (bed extender, long-item pass-throughs, track seating in the cab, tracks in the bed, the huge Ram...
