    Hello, I bought a travel trailer and want to add OEM trailer braking to my 2019 Bighorn.

    I have read the install instructions on-line. Does adding it require a software flash (or something like that)? The instructions I found didn't mention it. Thanks!

    MOPAR Direct extended warranty

    Mine 2019 Bighorn is about to expire and got quotes today. Prices seemed high, but I have not shopped 3rd party warranties yet. I am satisfied with this truck and plan to keep a long time as I have done with my 2002, 2011 Rams. I am not a big believer in warranties and have never had them...

    Weirdest things to ruin a tire?

    OK, what items have you had ruin a tire for you? I had the strangest one I have ever seen happen this past Sunday. Driving about 1/2 from home hit a pothole and heard a pop. TMPS instantly showed it was losing pressure. Thought I could nurse it home, but was totally flat in 3oo yards...

    Now or wait?

    I have never been back to the dealer since purchase in May 2019 and 9500 miles. I have the airbag recall, cracked rear window frame (not leaking) and want to report weak A/C issue. Should I go ahead and do it now or wait until warmer weather here in Missouri (for A/C issue)? TIA

    What Ramps (for oil changes) are you using?

    It's been about 30 years since I changed my own oil, but I am considering DIY again to control quality and avoid dealer prices. 30 years ago I had heavy steel ramps that slid when driving up on them. Just curious if the newer models work better or still have the same problems. My garage...

    Can't pair phone anymore.

    Very odd, my Samsung S8 phone has been paired for months, not suddenly it will not connect and it does not even show that is was ever paired. OK, no problem, just pair it again, right? Well, when I put radio in pairing mode, the phone finds it as 'Uconnect'. When I select 'Uconnect' nothing...

    8.4 head unit specs

    Looking to upgrade speakers (6 total) and don't want to spend a whole lot. Is there a document that lists the specs (ohms, wattage, etc) for the 8.4 head unit? Was on Crutchfield and they recommended 3 Ohm speakers all around: Dash speakers: Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx for $90 Front...

    Nasty Stank

    First halfway cold morning @ 39 degrees. Turned on the heater for the drive to work and it smelled nasty, had to roll down the windows. Is this normal, like the first time you run your furnace each year? TIA

    Weird phone issue

    I have the 8.4 head unit and have always had problems using Android 'Auto' (oxymoron, nothing auto about it). Sometimes it works, most of the time not. Very frustrating. My phone is a Samsung S8 Active, recently every time I plug into the USB-C port it starts charging as usual. But...

    First Tow

    Went camping last weekend with our popup camper that is about 3500 lbs loaded. The first impression was not good. Had gone about 20 miles moderate-heavy city traffic and I thought the truck was struggling and just didn't feel 'right' compared to my 2011 Ram 1500 QC. Come to find out it was...

    Which dealer for warranty service?

    Before I purchased I shopped 3 local (all within 20 minutes of my house) RAM dealers and ended up buying at a dealer about 45 minutes away. I didn't buy from the local dealers for various reasons (selection of stock, obnoxious salespeople, etc) but was referred by a co-worker to the dealer I...

    Waze Freeze/Lock - Android

    OK, Waze works on 8.4 head unit UNTIL the phone (Samsung S8 Active) screen times out (screen goes dark). If I wake it up the head unit screen wakes up too. This is probably a setting in the Waze app but I have not found it yet. Google maps work fine when the phone screen times...

    Door open while in gear?

    Ever want to back into an area and want to open door to have a look and the truck locks up? I realize this is a safety thing, but it's kinda frustrating. Any way to disable?
