    Free Sirius / XM through Dec 3rd.

    I just seen a commercial that Sirius / XM is free through Dec. 3rd everywhere if you have a receiver. So if you’re past your free trial or have another vehicle or receiver without a subscription, enjoy. I didn’t renew after my one year free trial on my Ram as I just don’t use it enough to...

    How much did you get for your 5th Gen. Trade In or Sale?

    We have other threads about what people paid for their 5th Gens. so I thought I would start a thread about how much people received in trade or sale of their 5th gens. as I've seen many posts about people moving on here already. This may seem like an odd thread since people are still buying new...

    Interesting Speed / Larger Tire Observation

    Last year when I put my larger tires on, I measured the Speedo vs GPS on the phone. Speedo showed 59, GPS was 60. I called it good enough, I would just adjust cruise control down a mile or two from what I felt was a safe “Let’s not get pulled over” speed. Knock on wood, no R&B’s in the Rearview...

    Looking for wheel sensors

    I sold my original tires and used my sensors for my new wheels. There will come a day when I trade the truck in so I want to have have the original wheels ready to go. Of course I'm going to buy some cheap used tires from Craigslist ;) but I'll need the sensors. Anyone have a good source...

    Just a random navigation experience

    My family and I recently vacationed in Virginia Beach. As was the rhythm with the journey there and all week, Google Maps was heavily relied upon. After getting settled into our hotel, I wanted to take a ride to my favorite coffee place, Wawa. As luck would have it, one was right down the...

    Lease Negotiated Selling Price

    Anyone want to share their negotiated selling price on a lease, MSRP vs. selling price? When I bought my truck last year I was tempted to lease but anyone I reached out to just gave VERY high prices. Now that I am a couple weeks away from 1 year of ownership and have less than 10k miles on my...

    Question for Android users who use bluetooth for music

    Are you able to use your "Browse" button on your head unit to browse tracks while listening to audio over bluetooth? I could do this with my iPhone, no issues, it showed the 3k+ songs but with my S10E I cannot. I can hit the tracks button and see 1000 songs IF I am using Google Music as my...

    Would you “Subscribe” to a Ram or even another vehicle?

    I’ve taken notice to the Volvo’s subscription plan they introduced about a year ago. It’s called Volvo Care. In short, you pay a monthly subscription price for 2 years. The example I seen was $600 for roughly a $36K car. If you’d like, After 12 months, you can trade the car in and select a new...

    Electronic Quirks & Remote Start - Coincidence?

    Sorry, this is going to be long, no other way to explain this briefly. Today I had my first electronics "Quirk", my backup camera screen was just black. I went back to park, back to reverse, same problem, whatever, went on a quick ride to the convenience store to get some trash bags. At the...

    What tire shine do you use?

    I've never been one to use tire shine but after the detailer shined my tires, the look fits. Wanting to continue that look, I had some old, and I do mean OLD! Black Magic sitting around and it did the trick but wasn't as deep and only held up for a week. Can you guys suggest a better product...

    Sun Visors - Pa has been pathetic

    I noticed today that the sun visors on the 2019 seem to be a little larger than on my previous 14. Not too shabby but you know what is pathetic, I took delivery on 8/14 and I haven't used my sun visor until today, 10/10! Weather in Pa this summer has been stupid! Forget if it rained today or...

    Readylift 2" Level with Control Arms

    On time as planned, I received my Readylift 2" Level with Control Arms Kit today. I'll try to document this as much as I can as I go. I'll be installing it tomorrow, I don't see it necessary to show install steps as that is well documented from Readylift themselves but I'll follow up with a...

    USB Drives and Playlists

    Has anyone tried creating playlists on their USB Drives? I figured it out on my 14 8.4/RA3, I had to create a playlist in Windows Media Player, open the playlist file through a text editor and then change the paths so it took some manual finessing. Just wondering if anyone has had any success...

    BFGoodrich T/A KO2 vs Nitto Rodge Grappler

    Why are people choosing the Nitto say over a BFGoodrich? Looks alone, I agree, The Nitto looks awesome but isn’t the KO2 one of the best rates tires out there? I really like the Nitto’s but I’ve read / watched some bad reviews that they get chunked up looking and wear quickly. Anyone have long...

    Are 5th Gen Nerf Bars Compatible with 4th Gen?

    I’m going to buy a new set of Nerf Bars for my 19. I might as well sell the stock ones. I know I’ll get the question from 4th gen owners asking if they are compatible. Anyone know? If they are, it will definitely make selling them easier.

    What is the stock 20” wheel offset?

    In another thread I mentioned wanting to upgrade from 18” to 20” wheel. I know the 18” is a 19.5 offset, is that the same with the 20s. It would make sense but I’ve never bought a rim so it’s foreign to me. Thank you.
