    Annoyed by gravel/rocks/sticks/dirt in your tailgate? Here's a solution:

    There's a major problem with the tailgates of our 5th Generation Rams: a GIANT hole that invites gravel to get stuck inside! It annoyed me to no end, so I made this Gravel Guard which works by covering the gaping hole in the bottom of our tailgates, while still allowing water to drain out. The...

    Rocks/Gravel in Tailgate

    Reviving an old thread in case it helps anyone in the future: It is also quite easy remove the tailgate with two people, then shake it back and forth to get the gravel to fall out. There are many videos showing how to remove the tailgate. Here's a solution to keep debris from building up in...

    Tires cupping. 2019 Rebel 1500 with 45000 miles, Air Suspension, BFG Ko2s with 8,000 miles on them

    I bought this 2019 Rebel 1500 last year with 36,000 miles on it. The OEM factory tires (Goodyear wrangler duratrac) were very cupped. I assumed the previous simply hadn't rotated the tires often enough, or the alignment was off, or the shocks were bad. I replaced the tires with BFG K02, had the...

    What tire pressure do you run (both on-road and off-road)?

    I'm wondering the same thing. Must have something to do with the combination of rim and tire size on the rebels. 55 does seem quite high and it certainly makes the ride noticeably more firm than the 35-40 psi trucks I've ridden in. I need to get some chalk and see what my tread pattern is...

    What tire pressure do you run (both on-road and off-road)?

    Also, how did you determine what pressure you would use?

    What tire pressure do you run (both on-road and off-road)?

    Do you have any issues with the low tire light? What brand and model of tires do you run?

    What tire pressure do you run (both on-road and off-road)?

    I should also mention that at 15 PSI off road there is a DRAMATIC increase in ride quality and I feel there is plenty margin of safety that the tire will not come off the bead with the style of driving I am doing. On these stock rims, I could probably get away with below 10 and still not run the...

    What tire pressure do you run (both on-road and off-road)?

    I have a 2019 Rebel 1500 with the factory 18" rims. BFG K02 tires in the stock size (275/70R18). On road: (following the recommended pressure on the door sticker) 55 psi front 45 psi rear Off road: 15 psi all around (no extreme driving, just slightly rugged roads below 45mph) I'm...

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    I have the M18. It works well in a pinch, but it is quite slow and gets very hot after just one tire, so if you're airing up multiple tires, you should let it cool between tires. If you air down frequently like I do, then you'll definitely want something different. I use CO2. If your objective...

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    I was originally just posting this as a joke because I saw this in the parking lot the other day (and I know it's not a 5th Gen), but now I'm genuinely curious: What spare parts and fluids do you keep in your truck? For me, about the only thing I would consider a spare part is my tire patch...

    electrical problem 2019 ram 3500 6.7

    Yes. Hdrams.com will be able to help much better than we can. Sounds like a large connector is loose to cause multiple failures simultaneously.

    Best Battery Money Can Buy

    What do you think is the best battery money can buy for our 5th gens and why? I have heard great things about these Full throttle Batteries: FT850-94R Battery from Fullriver Battery

    Windshield wipers stopped working

    That is unfortunate. I can't help you other than just recommending you take it back to the dealer and have them fix it. Hopefully they give you a loner while they work on it.

    Windshield Tint and Paint Protection Film for Sides

    My thoughts exactly. I had the front door windows tinted by a pro and they are PERFECT. No distortion or bubbles, so I am confident it is possible to make the windshield good too. In case anyone is curious, this is the law in Colorado: "motor vehicles registered in Colorado must transmit at...

    Battery

    It is certainly possible to remove the etorque battery, but you would definitely need to know what you're doing. I don't claim to know what I am doing in this space, so I won't even speculate on how it is done.

    Lifter tick or exhaust manifold? 2019 Rebel

    Also, for clarity, is it the exhaust manifolds themselves that crack? Or is it the bolts that break off and just the bolts need replaced? I was under the impression the most common problem was just the bolts.

    Lifter tick or exhaust manifold? 2019 Rebel

    That's great news! For anyone else who has experience with this: is this repair normally covered under the powertrain warranty?

    Battery

    I think he is talking about the etorque battery. Personally, I would not mess with that battery and would take it to the dealer. It's a lithium battery which requires a bit more care when handling and working on it, otherwise it potentially poses a fire risk INSIDE THE CAB. I just saw a post on...

    Windshield Tint and Paint Protection Film for Sides

    1) Windshield tint: I'd like to install a very low tint (almost clear) to the inside of the windshield to help cut down on the UV rays getting inside. Does anyone know of any sources for a good pre-cut windshield tint film? Side note: I'm aware of two cons/risks with this and am willing to...

    Unknown Connector

    What are these radios for? While you are there, I would HIGHLY recommend putting silicone around those sunroof drain grommets to make sure water doesnt leak between the grommet and the body panel. I had a huge leak from those, even though they were installed properly as yours appear to be. I...
