    Finally joining the wet floor crew...

    About a week or two ago I pulled the floor mats to hose down and get all the dried salt off. I noticed the bottom of the front passenger mat as some water on it. I felt the carpet under the mat and it's wet. Not soaked but definitely damp. Checked with recent passengers and no one spilled...

    BakFlip replacement parts/Customer Service?

    Hey all, so my BakFlip MX4 is breaking down after about 3 years or so., mainly the rubber joints between panels are completely cracked off and they allow water through. Plus since they don't pivot correctly the latchs don't seat on the rails well. Anyone know if they sell replacements or how to...

    Who is the idiot here?

    Sorry for the clickbait title but I want to get a definite answer on this. TL:DR - are there 2019 Ram 1500 5th gen/new body style trucks that are DS? I had my 2019 5th gen Ram in at the dealership for an alignment. The report the gave me showed they used alignment specs for a 2019 Ram DS with...

    Ongoing abnormal treadwear issue?

    I noted this abnormal wear pattern on my stock Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires, posted about it here and the consensus was alignment issue. Wear pattern seemed to fit with a toe problem. So I had the OEM Duelers replaced at 34k miles with Conti TerrainContact H/T XL tires at that time in March...

    What are these and why are they broken?

    Simple enough. Look like soft stops for the suspension?

    Squeak when accelerating

    I've noticed the last few weeks when driving without music and the windows down I can hear a faint, high pitched squeek coming from outside the truck. I managed to figure it's when I hit the accelerator even lightly. It will make the same noise even when hitting the accelerator while in park...

    Vibration at specific speeds

    I've noticed for a while now that the truck seems to get a noticeable, rhythmic vibration I can feel in the seat, seems more on the outside of the seat if that matters. It's not present in the steering wheel. It is non existent below 50mph and is most prominent around 52-55mph then fades as...

    Slumping fuel economy

    Ove the last 6 months I've been noticing a consistent drop in MPG across the board. My commute around town used to be around 17mpg now I'm getting 15. My 800 mile road trips would average 22-23 mpg and the last two have been 19-20 mpg. What gives? Running the same 87 octane, seems to have...

    Air suspension not auto raising

    I've noticed over the last few months my 2019 Limited air suspension is not automatically raising out of entry/exit height when driving. I got up to 30mph today with it not raising before I manually hit to raise the truck. Anyone else with this issue and how to fix it?

    Tailgate difficult to open - Solution!

    Hey all, I know a few have posted issues with the tailgate being hard to open and not opening with remote. Mine did the same and needed you to push the tailgate in while hitting the release button. Well I seem to have fixed it. You'll need a T45 torx bit. Open the tailgate and loosen the latch...

    Flurry of codes... Any ideas?

    Well it's been about a year without any issues so it was time for a new one: Drove home from work, made one quick stop, when I started it back up I got a CEL. No issues I could see. Of course we were leaving for a short road trip in less than an hour. Took it by the dealership and had the...

    Upgraded wireless charger?

    Curious if anyone has installed a better wireless charger in place of the Ram charger for the phone. It's so low wattage and I usually only gain about 6-7% battery on my Pixel during a 20 minute drive to work. Works fine for long road trips to stay charged while running android auto or Spotify...

    Marked drop in highway economy?

    So I'm midway through a long road trip we have made half a dozen or so times over the last 2 years. Normally I get 21-24mpg highway per the dash readout. So far I'm getting 18mpg, which is just barely better than my mostly city commute to work mileage. City mileage has been the same. We have...

    Rain problems with forward collision braking

    Second time I've been caught in a torrential downpour and the FCB keeps flashing and hitting the brakes for a split second every 2 seconds. Completely unsafe in traffic. Is there a way to quickly disable the forward collision braking while driving without fumbling through the UConnect settings...

    Soaking wet cabin filter

    Had a huge rainstorm the last two days and this morning I get in to drive and nothing is coming out the cabin air vents no matter what I set them to and all the manual vent settings were wide open. I could hear the fan running. I popped the glove box and pulled the cabin air filter and it's...

    Rapid terminal corrosion?

    Just put this battery into service in early Nov. Why would I have this much corrosion already?

    Dead battery? And other issues

    Going through a drive through today I shut the truck off completely as it was indoor and they usually take 5-8 minutes for food. Had it in ON for music and air flow. After I got my food the truck would not start. So the electrical systems worked fine. Dash was showing battery voltage at 11.0V...

    Tire question and recs

    A bit disappointed. Only 28k miles. Noticed the tires are wearing quite unevenly, most of the tires have heavy outer edge/toe wear but this one is by far the worst. Lots of good tread life left on the mid and inner edge of the tires. I think it goes without question the bald edge tire needs...

    Few gremlins popping up

    Taking the truck into the dealership next week but curious if anyone else has had similar issues. 1. Defroster is only hitting the passenger side windshield. Not a huge issue here in the south but when it's cold it's frustrating. First time it happened heard something that sounded like rattling...

    Change to climate control?

    Anyone else noticed a change in the auto climate control function? Last winter I swear it was like my other vehicles and didn't blow much, if any, air until the engine warmed up. Now it seems the leg vents are on a mid setting blowing cold air when the engine is still cold. Perhaps I'm just...
