    Rear bed step harder and harder to deploy

    Is this normal? When the truck was new, it was tight to drop and raise but manageable. Now Im basically standing by the rear tire, kicking it backwards to get it to move and doing the same to raise it. Ive seen videos online where people are doing reviews of the 1500's and they are effortlessly...

    Bolt torque for rear seats?

    I've had my rear window leak twice (fixed twice) and luckily no damage to any of the electrical behind the seats. I was thinking to pull the seats and drape a sheet of plastic over the electronics and tape the crap out of the top with Tuck Tape to at least give me some protection if it happens...

    Is there a gasket at this exhaust flange???

    I have noticed this flange connection leaks water after a cold start so it is leaking exhaust. Is there a gasket in there? I plan to replace the bolts and nuts which I assume will snap off once I try and impact them, just wanna replace the gasket too if there is one. I tried to take a pic, this...

    Fixed my 3rd brake light leak, here's how I did it....

    So the rear glass frame had 2 cracks and that was leaking and replaced. Headliner stained and light was leaking. When I removed it, the gasket was toast. Cleaned off all the old glue (used a dish sponge with the rough end and a cloth, kept both wet with xylene bit found that acetone worked best...

    Just got my rear glass replaced......

    So it developed 2 cracks in the frame over time and it was constantly slowly leaking so I finally took it in. Oh, but no way was I going to the dealer..... I went to Apple Auto Glass and paid $1200 Canadian (all in with labour, taxes) to get a replacement window (rear slider, heated, etc for a...

    Which 3rd brake light to get?

    I've seen people install aftermarket ligjhts to address the leak so wondering what you guys recommend? Also, if I go OEM, anyone have a part number for the new one (I assumed the light has been updated to correct the leak?). I know the dealer will fix this but I'd rather do it myself.

    Has RAM made a new rear window?

    So I see 2 cracks in my 2019 RAM that were not there when new. Truck is well beyond warranty and leaks. I am fine paying for the new windew but have they re-engineered it or whatever or is it the same POS? I live in Canada and wonder if there is any extended warranty for the window to be...

    Cracked/leaking manifold's question......

    I know it happens, I can read all the threads here and all the mechanics complaining on Youtube but what is the cause? It can't be a simple thermal cycling issue because then why don't all V8's have this issue? I've had many cars in my lifetime, some V8's (and a couple in particular with much...

    My aftermarket muffler experiences (MBRP, B2fab and now VE).....

    2019 RAM 1500 Rebel with 5.7L I started with the MBRP because they are local and were relatively cheap. Sounded incredible, quite loud and very raspy (which I love) but I do live in a cookie cutter subdivision where there is barely 6 feet between my home and the neighbours and you can imagine...

    Exhaust leak, and which gaskets?

    I replaced my muffler recently and I noticed on start up that there is a leak (visually could see water dripping and you could hear the leak under the truck) at what I can assume is a donut gasket and possibly further up, at the flange coming off of the right manifold. In the picture attached...

    Valved exhaust - a few questions

    So I ordered a vacuum actuated bypass for my Rebel as I find my current set up so freaking loud in the morning. Granted, I love how loud it is but it always wakes up the family and Im sure the neighbors hate me. I often get up early for fishing or hunting so it's getting old quick. Anyway, this...

    Canada: can we order a TRX with a discount???

    I have been patiently waiting to buy a brand new TRX and after constantly watching, it appears now (not sure when this changed....) one can go online and build a TRX. When i did, it also applied a $13,000 or so DISCOUNT. I guess my question is, has anyone actually ordered one to spec and got...

    Anyone install the brake moan bracket kit?

    I'm doing mine finally this weekend and just had a question about removing the caliper bracket bolts. Do I need to do anything with the e brake? The instructions don't mention anything but just curious what others did. Thanks

    Strange humming/buzzing sound coming from somewhere???

    I know this is going to be vague, and irritatingly unhelpful to describe, but my hope is someone may have experienced this and can help me out. 2019 Rebel, with approx 100,000 kms (or 62,000 miles). It sounds like a humming/vibrating/buzzing noise (I would describe it more as an electronic...

    Local dealer said V8's being discontinued?

    Went there this morning to ask if any TRX's are being expected (we're in Canada) and he said no, and none in the pipeline expected. And I said, huih, you're the second dealer that Ive been too with none being allocated, and he said, yeah, because this is the last year to get a V8? That surely...

    Larger capacity oil filter with PacBrake relocation kit?

    I just ordered the kit and wonder if it is possible to put a larger capacity oil filter on there? I have the PacBrake relocation kit for the 5.7L Hemi. If so, anyone have a part number? I'm always shocked by how tiny the OEM filters are for these trucks.....

    Moaning, groaning, squeaky brakes

    I know it is (was?) a common issue and a TSB was released but my question is, what was the actual cause? My 2019, when it is generally cold (below freezing) and wet/damp out, and backing out of the driveway in reverse, the brakes SQUEAL like crazy. So loud that it would wake the neighbours...

    Ram Cares? Canadian dealers ripping off customers......

    I'm in the market for a TRX and have been actively looking for one over the last 6 months or so. I started with a local dealer and after 4 different dealerships, the last one's financial manager told me the following in private. Canadian's can NOT order a TRX. In fact, each dealer told me...

    Winter tire swap TPMS is now malfunctioning?

    I recently installed some new rims/winter rubber and bought some OEM TPMS sensors (MOPAR part #68324960AB) and had them installed too. All was well the first day I took the truck out, the readings were there (different from my summer tires, which I expected) but then the next day of driving I...
