I read an article that stated the Ram 1500 lost about 43% of its value in five years. I assume these studies are based off of the original MSRP, though I don't know if the five year value is based on trade-in value or private party value. That said, I'm curious if anyone has run the numbers...

I just got my windshield tinted (UV only, didn't darken it) and they told me not to mount anything to it with adhesive. I had a gate pass RFID sticker that they suggested Sticker Shield for as it's more of a static cling and is supposed to be friendly with tinted windows. Anyway, I'm not sure...

Ever since I got a travel trailer, I've paid more attention to other people's setup as they go by on the highway or I see them in parking lots/gas stations/etc... I have noticed that a good 90% or more of the Nissans (and Infinitis) I see towing any sort of camper or cargo trailer look like the...

I was driving along the highway (not interstate) into the NC mountains. Part way up the mountain, I heard an odd noise in the front, sort of a "donk," followed by the sound of air rushing. My first thought was I'd punctured a tire, but then I started losing power and the dash lit up. First I saw...

Last year, I towed two different Chrysler Conquests on a U-Haul trailer (not the front-wheel dolly.) WHen making the reservations, it asks for the year/make/model tow vehicle and the vehicle going on the trailer. Both times (it was separate trips and rentals) it said I was good to go. I've...

With more than a little nervousness, I washed the engine in my 2013 Mazda 3. I sprayed Gunk Foamy Engine Bright Cleaner, let it sit according to the instructions, then put my hose nozzle on "Gentle Shower" and moved it around quickly, trying to not spray directly onto anything, but sort of let...

I started to post this in the EcoDiesel subforum but realized it probably applies to everyone. I was getting the Service E-Locker message on the dash. I have only locked it a couple times in a field just to keep it "used" so I figured it was a sensor issue. They discovered there was a software...

I noticed this on the GDE site. I didn't know they did any non-diesel work. https://greendieselengineering.com/product/ram-1500-hemi-transmission-tune/

I've got a friend who, due to surgery, is not able to turn his head very far to the left or right. It's to the point where when pulling up to a stop sign, checking traffic in either direction is very difficult. He asked if I had any ideas on how a camera setup could be added to his car that...

Been wanting one of these since college. 360 mile tow was a breeze.

I don't leave the truck outside at our house much. My wife noticed a squirrel jumping up into the engine bay (from below.) I used the key fob to honk the horn and scared him out, but noticed this on the ground in front of it. Is it part of my truck or just happened to be there? It does have a...

When scheduling a dealer oil change (10K miles) they pushed a BG MOA Conditioner. I declined, assuming its not really necessary and just a money grab on their part (and that I could probably add it myself if I needed to.) So now, I'm curious what everyone's take on this is. It seems like if...

I've heard both arguments on this. I wonder who here tows with their refrigerator cooling--especially in terms of going to the campsite so its cool when you arrive? Mine's a three-way that runs on propane/battery/shore power. I've not had a lot of luck running it on battery while traveling, but...

I was pumping my rear tires up to a higher-than-normal level to tow the camper (not yet connected.) While I was doing this, the engine was running because I was getting it ready to hook up. After a few minutes, I noticed the hazard lights were blinking. I thought I'd mashed the remote in my...

I know this is the 1/2 ton board, but I don't want to create an account at HD Rams just for this question and there are plenty of knowledgeable people here. Motor Trend did a 40K mile long term test of a 2500 Laramie CTD. In their stats, they put that the residual value was 95% of the original...

I tried to lower my truck to entry/exit mode to pull into our garage and got an error message like "ride height unavailable due to payload." There was nothing in the bed and all I'd done since taking it out of the garage was driven it less than 100 miles and camped in the bed in a bed tent...

The question could probably apply to any folding hard bed cover, but I'm looking at bed tents that are compatible with my folding Bakflip MX4 bed cover. I don't want the folded cover inside the tent, of course. Does anyone have a tent with their folding cover? I know I could remove the cover but...

Hope this isn't already posted and I missed it. https://www.motor1.com/news/577422/ram-april-fools-joke-trucker-cover-video/

We're getting unlimited data with our new phones and I'm thinking of switching my SiriusXM subscription to streaming-only. Does anyone stream SiriusXM in the truck through their phone and Android Auto? If so, how do you like it and is it usable? I've never gotten Amazon Music to work through...

I noticed a little fold-down door below my Brake Release lever. Using a small screwdriver, I opened the door and there's an orangeish nylon strap tucked behind it. Any ideas what that strap is for? Ejector seat?
