    Steering Wheel

    In cleaning my steering wheel with a clean damp cloth (water only) it seems like there is a coating on the steering wheel that has somewhat come off in places. Has anyone experienced this? This is not rubbing hard at all. Does anyone know of a way to "refinish" the steering wheel?

    Drive Line Fluids

    I have almost 80k miles on my truck now and was going to change fluids on differentials and transfer case over to Amsoil products. Is there anything I should know before doing that?

    Do I need LT tires?

    I am looking at new tires and trying to decide if I should upgrade to LT tires or if the XLs are fine for my use. I have a boat that I tow (no long distances) that on the trailer weighs ~5,000 lbs. I am also on gravel roads, off road some (mostly farm type conditions) and on the beach when...

    Power Steering Fluid

    This sounds like a stupid question but ss there a power steering fluid reservoir on these trucks? Or is that a sealed system that needs no maintenance?

    Limited Slip Additive

    I am changing rear differential fluid and refilling with Amsoil gear oil. I have the 3.92 gears with e-locker axle. From what I can find that would NOT require the limited slip additive. Is that correct?

    Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Light

    I received an email from RAM service yesterday with an alert saying my powertrain malfunction indicator light had been triggered. There is no light or message on in the truck and it drives normally. Has anyone else gotten this? Could the email have been sent erroneously?

    Clock not synching w/GPS

    I recently did the update to the latest UConnect software. I have my clock setting to "synch w/GPS" however it did not change to daylight savings time. Not sure if it has anything to do with the update but is anyone else having this problem?

    Key fob operating distance after UConnect update

    I recently updated my UConnect software. Has anyone noticed that your key fob doesn't seem to work from as far away as it did before the most recent update? I used to be able to lock/unlock from inside the house. Now I have to be within probably 20 feet of the truck.

    Floor Mat Recall

    If you had the floor mat recall done (basically a hack job on the mat) is FCA going to provide a new designed mat or are you just on your own to buy a new one if you want it?

    Vehicle Recovery

    Has anyone had to help pull vehicle back up a boat ramp that either went too far into the water or could not get back up the ramp? If so, what equipment did you use and how did you do it?

    Setting Trailer Brake Type

    I brought my new 21' boat home last Saturday. This is a tandem axle trailer and it has a brake fluid reservoir in the trailer tongue. My dealer said the trailer brakes are not electric so it won't matter what the gain is set at. Lights work fine, towed home fine. In doing some more research...

    B&W Stow & Tow Hitch

    I'm looking at a B&W Stow & Tow hitch for my truck. I currently only pull a boat trailer that requires a 2" ball. The B&W is a multi ball hitch that can have either 2 or 3 balls on it. Available combinations are 2" & 2 5/16", 1 7/8" & 2", or 1 7/8", 2" and 2 5/16". Originally I was...

    Drive Line Fluid Changes

    I have ~32k miles on my truck now and plan on keeping it for a long time. I don't tow anything, 90% of my miles are on road and not a lot of short trips or stop and go driving. I am using Amsoil in the engine and was thinking of changing transmission, differentials and transfer case fluids...

    1 or 2 rope lights in topper?

    I'm getting ready to put an ARE topper on the truck. In addition to my DD I use if for training dogs, hunting, fishing, etc. What do people think about the 1 vs 2 rope light option? Is 2 lights too bright?

    LT vs P rated tires

    It will be time to replace tires soon and I'm trying to decide if I should get P rated (XL) or LT (E) tires. I am looking at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 275/55R20. My truck is 100% stock. I do have a Decked unit and a bed cap on it. The truck is my daily driver (40 miles round trip to...

    Small Speakers in Headliner

    At the risk of sounding stupid what are these speakers for? They don't seem to be part of the audio system. I have speakers in front corners of dashboard and in doors.

    On Board Air Compressors

    I'm looking for an air compressor to carry in the back of the truck to refill my tires after airing down for off-roading. I've read that the ones connecting directly to the truck battery terminals work better than the ones that plug into a cigarette lighter outlet. What do you think are the...

    Tire/Towing Question

    If my towing is limited to a boat/trailer with a combined weight of ~4,000 lbs. (24' Carolina Skiff) should I have LT tires? My stock tire size was 275/55R20 and the truck came with Nexen tires. Time to replace and I am looking at either the Falken Wildpeak AT3W (not available in an LT in that...

    Driver Side Mirror Sensor - What is it?

    I've had my truck for a year now and I just noticed the driver side mirror is different than the passenger side mirror. Does anyone know what this is? There is no sensor on the passenger side. Thanks.

    Siriux XM Renewal

    The expiration of the 1 year trial is coming up at the end of August for me. Is everyone paying for the renewal or not worth it? Also, do you need that for the NAV?
