    2021 Tow Mirrors - Reverse lights

    Anyone have any information on the performance of the reverse lights on the 2021 Tow Mirrors? Does it light up the side of the truck really good or just a little? I park on the side of the street and often have trouble seeing just how close I am to the curb. I was hoping that these lights...

    Factory Bed Liner and Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

    How good is the factory-installed Spray in Bed Liner? Is it actually Line-X but just not branded? Is it as good as Line-X? Pros/cons of having it built with it, or better to find one without the bed liner and pay to have Line-X installed? Same questions about the Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover. Is...

    choppiness when backing up with wheels turned

    I'm having an issue when I am backing into a parking space. If I have my wheels at a full turn and moving in reverse, the truck get really choppy/jerky. It doesn't want to simply back in. It's like I'm running over things and jerks back and forth. Hard to explain. I have stock 20in. wheels...

    Rear Camera Intermittently Goes Out

    Anyone having problems with their Rear Cameras? I have the advanced safety package and all my other cameras work fine. However, on three separate occasions, the Rear Camera is completely offline. I've tried stopping and starting the truck again, and it still is off. Then, next time I drive...

    XM Radio Cannot find GPS Signal at Startup

    Quite a few mornings lately, when I first start the truck, the XM station that I was last listening to on my 12" screen will show that it cannot find a GPS signal. It will stay that way until I change the channel. As soon as I change the channel the radio starts playing normally and I can even...

    Driver's Side Mirror Defroster Not Working

    First frosty morning since getting my truck. Remote started my car with the rear defroster set to on. It's supposed to defrost the side mirrors too, correct? After 6 minutes, I came out and the rear windows and the passenger mirror were dry and clear, but the driver's side mirror was still...

    Engine Stall at Start and Loud Buzz from Engine Bay

    Temps are starting to drop overnight into the low 50's. The past couple of mornings, when I start my truck, I've had several things happen that haven't happened since I bought it back in June. 1. Three days ago, I started the truck, and it idled just fine, but as soon as I put it in reverse to...

    Show us your Bed Rails!

    Thinking about the Putco 88873 black bed rails on my 6'4" bed. As far as I can tell, Putco are still the only ones on the market that are made specifically for the 2019 new Rams. Anyone install these rails or know of any other models out there? Show us your bed rails, and any install pics, tips...

    Very Hot Shifter Knob

    Temps were in the upper 90s earlier in the week, and when I got in the truck to shift the knob from park to drive, I swear I nearly burned my hand! That plastic can get d##m hot! I've known knobs to get hot from time to time, like volume knobs, etc. It must be because the shifter knob is so...

    hood deflector replacement rubber seal retaining fasteners

    Finished (almost) installing the AVS Hood Deflector on my 2019 Laramie. In the process, I may have broken one of the new retaining fasteners, and lost another, that came with the new deflector. As a result, it is now being held on by 4 out of 6 fasteners. The original ones that come off the...

    Remove White Lettering on Tires

    I don't think you can remove the white raised lettering on the Bridgestone Duelers can you? I'm not really a fan of the White lettering. But I really don't want to go out and buy a new set of tires just because of that. Any suggestions for blacking them out? Sharpie? Paint? Anything that...

    BedRug Impact Liner - Not Impressed

    Not impressed with the fit of the BedRug Impact Liner for my Ram 1500 6'4" bed. One side fit nearly perfect, but the other side seemed to be out of shape. It didn't conform to the wheel well very good, and it was uneven under the bedrail, almost an inch short in several spots. Also, when...

    Best Northern Virginia Dealer for Warranty Work

    I didn't get very far with Lindsay in Manassas with my first visit to them about my wobble/vibration. They say they balanced the tires, but that was it. They are also on busy route 28 with tons of traffic and nearly impossible to get the truck up to speed, so I seriously doubt they'll ever...

    Group MMS Messages Don't Show Up

    If I get a new text message on my phone from a group text (e.g. MMS), those texts will not show up on the uConnect screen in my truck. Is there a setting to enable it, or is uConnect simply incapable of displaying group text messages? At least half of my text messages come from groups I'm part...

    Incoming Text Message Inbox

    I have my android Samsung phone connected through UConnect and when I get a new text message, it doesn't bring up the text message like it should. Instead it says something like I have messages in my inbox and then I have to click on that message to bring up the inbox, and select the message I...

    Anyone Use one of these?

    Has anyone ever installed on of these on the front of your trucks? Just came across them and they sound like they would work good. But not sure exactly how it would look on the truck, and if would even fit with the standard license plate frame that's on the truck (although I think you can take...
