    Maintenance Schedule for 2019 RAM 1500 BigHorn: Discrepancies between what the manual says and the intervals between service provided by the dealer.

    Coming up on 5 years of ownership at just 37,000 miles. Looking for what to do at 45k miles, since l like to do everything early. I've replaced the cabin and engine air filters 3 times up to this point. I've only had one appointment that included anything more than a full synthetic oil change...

    In Depth Discovery Project to find where the water is going in my 2019 RAM 1500 w/ 34k miles. I am coming up with nothing and need your help.

    I have been dealing with a leak since I purchased the vehicle new. 3 dealerships have looked at it. One denied any leak. One replaced the rear windshield and third brake light. The last dealership replaced the rear windshield again. Well it’s starting to smell BAD again, so I took it upon...

    Leaking sunroof? Where to look.

    I have a 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn. Ordered it myself. 28k miles and counting. Parked in a garage at night, but my new work is outdoor parking. I’ve notice mildew smell in my truck. I use it for work so I just decided it must have been work materials the first few times. HOWEVER, I keep a...

    2019 Ram 1500 - Vibration in gas pedal

    Hi guy. I have never driven a vehicle before that gave noticeable motion in the gas pedal at ANY speed. My Ram 1500 has done so since I bought it from the factory with 2 miles on the dash. It’s between 60 and 30 mph. Never shows up above or below those speeds. It doesn’t feel like the truck is...

    2019 Ram 1500 with Trailer Tow Group - Question regarding my new boat/trailer

    Boat is in order. 20’ 4000 lbs. It has a tandem trailer. Trailer has disc breaks. Truck has the trailer tow package, but my understanding is that it is only relevant to electric breaks? Called the RAM dealer, they literally said sorry google it or the boat dealer should know since they are...

    Leaking fluid from engine bay and wheel well

    I noticed a sizzling and burning smell right after walking away from the truck for the night. Went back and investigated while still hot. Noticed dripping on top of the engine at a wired connection. Also noticed dripping in front passenger wheel well at another wired connection. Thoughts?

    Hit a raccoon on the highway. Multiple parts broken. What are they?

    Any information helps. Need to take it to shop Tuesday morning. Naturally, this happened on this truck’s first long trip away from home. 310 miles north of Cincinnati (home). I intend on driving it back after the holiday weekend. Still operates normally, aside from a clanking of the plastic on...

    WeatherTech MudFlaps defect or what?

    I have never had a truck before my RAM. I decided to install WeatherTech MudFlaps (made sure to order the front and back pairs selecting that my vehicle has NO fender flares). Seemed easy enough, however, I notice after driving through a muddy/grassy field a few times over the weekend mud had...

    Is it alright that I just put Premium fuel in my 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn?

    My other vehicle takes premium and I had a mind lapse. I always use mid-grade, although it’s very first take (from dealership) was regular.

    Every Song Starts with a Static/Skip Sound Playing Music off of iPhone

    When I have my iPhone plugged in to play music off of Apple Music, every song within 3 seconds of starting will essentially skip and make a static noise. I am noticing that it happens during songs, too, but not as frequently. Anyone else had this problem? 1,000 miles on the odometer and it has...

    Screeching wind noise at 70mph? Anyone else?

    Any speed over 68mph or so (with the sound system off) I can hear a constant screeching wind noise. It is not the common sound associated with wind noise, as I can live with that. Sounds like it is coming from under the hood or undercarriage in front of the first row of seats. It sounds like...

    Best cleaning products for fabric interior?

    I have the black bucket seats that are really grey and am looking for a high quality cleaning product so scrub out some caulk, paint and dirt spots. Have any of you guys used MOPAR concentrate or spray? Any other ideas? I just ordered Carhartt precision fit seat covers. But I want to restore...

    RUN ACC and OFF. When I tap my Start/Stop button to turn off the engine, half the time the truck goes into ACC mode. Why?

    If should go from RUN to OFF. I spoke with my salesperson and they said I may be holding the button too long. I tried to just barely tap it to turn the truck off and it still goes into ACC mode with Accessories on. When I open the door to get out of the truck it beeps/alerts me it is still on...

    Is there really not a business card holder in my new 2019 RAM 1500 Bighorn?

    There are those tiny slits on either side of the “filing cabinet” under the hinges to the swinging portion of the center console, but that does not seem practical, as I tried to keep cards there but they keep falling and bend easily.

    Truck BRAKES itself while in reverse with tailgate DOWN. How can I disable this?

    My truck BRAKES automatically when I try to go in reverse with the tailgate down (like when I had a 4’ x 7’ piece of plywood in my bed today). I needed to back out of a driveway and it would not allow me to do it. Couldn’t believe it lol. Had to take out all the different wood I had back there...

    Storing Ryobi Batteries inside the RamBins?

    I know extreme hot and cold weather diminishes the lifespan of rechargeable batteries, but it just makes practical sense to store at least 2-3 in my work truck any given day of the week I am out on the job. I have RamBoxes, but it just dawned on me that I have RamBins in the cabin that are...

    Truck with 8 miles on it has sporadic clicking (5-6 clicks) right after engine turns over. Thoughts?

    Just purchased the vehicle today. Had it special ordered to my specs. Foolishly did not test drive. After the dealership closed is when I went to turn the engine on. Maybe a few seconds after you press the start button, under the hood makes a click.....click click.............click....click...

    Will PPF do the same job as Fender Flares on a Bright White 2019 Ram 1500 with Sport Appearance Package?

    I just ordered the truck WITHOUT OE Fender Flares. I am going to have PPF put on the whole front end including headlights and fog lights, rocker panels, bottom 1/4 of each door, and around the fenders. Should I have ordered the Original Equipment Fender Flares? Also installing Weather Tech...

    Are THESE the right specs for my new Ram work truck?

    Background: I am 6’5” 250 lbs. I am a landlord and will be using the truck 75% of the time for work. At minimum, I will be towing 1-2 fridges and 1-2 stoves across town (at most, an hour each way). At maximum, during evictions I need to load a large trailer with all undesirables — sometimes an...
