    Water leaking inside cab on 2019 RAM

    The antenna sits a little elevated and the roof contour drains down and away over the brake light seal. My brake light leaked shortly in the 2nd year of ownership. Another possible source would be the seam between where the cab sides meet the cab body under the black strip that covers the...

    Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires

    I have a set of those on the truck now. No problems with them at all. They handle it all very well for my purposes.

    Future Ford vehicles will repossess themselves

    I can get behind the idea of a kill switch in the case of delinquent loan payments as a last resort. I do not like the idea of driverless cars, never have.

    I understand your sorrow. We have been thru it several times over the years with our Boxer's. They leave you with their memories.

    Can you tell a difference in the ride between the 18 and 20 inch rims?

    No not at all. I had 20" rims on my last truck, an 09 Silverado with leaf springs. My RAM rides smoother than the Silverado. You could add to the aspect ratio of the OEM tires by going to a 60 instead of the 55. I considered it, but, passed when I replaced the OEM tires. You gain an inch in...

    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.

    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...
