    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Now that they've announced the Ramcharger, who would buy a REV instead of a Ramcharger? I mean, if you just want/need a truck for around town, the 145 mile electric-only range in a Ramcharger should be adequate for just about anybody. (but, of course, not EVERYONE, I understand) And if you are...

    Wireless CarPlay weirdness

    I got an iPhone back around January. 14 Pro Max. I got an Ottocast wireless CarPlay adapter almost right away. It has been basically working fine ever since. Until the last few days. Starting a few days ago, my iPhone would not connect via wireless. I tried everything, even to the point of...

    BAK Revolver - more amazing customer service

    I got my BAK Revolver X4s for my '21 RAM in August, 2022. That was after some amazing customer service from BAK for the Revolver X4 I had on my '19 RAM (which I have posted about previously). On 9/14/22 (2 weeks ago, today), I emailed BAK about a small problem witih my X4s. One of the slats...

    Can I have both bed steps?

    I have a '21 Limited with the Multi-Function Tailgate (and RamBoxes, if that matters). It has the bed step that is in the middle of the bumper. That is very useful when I have the tailgate open barn door-style. I'm old. Climbing up in the bed without that step is not too bad, but sooner or...

    Fast track me on 30K mile service?

    I'm almost due for my 30K mile service. I got the truck with 17K on it, so it's just now time for my 2nd oil change since I got it. Just a little overdue, but I drove 2800 miles in the last 2 weeks, so didn't have time to get it done right at my 5K interval. Anyway.... other than the normal...

    RamBox compatibility for covers, 4th Gen vs 5th Gen?

    I just took my factory trifold soft cover and the rails for it off my '21 1500 with RamBoxes. I am 99% sure the cover itself would work on any RAM with a 5' 7" bed and RamBoxes. The question is, do the rails that I took out of my 5th Gen also fit/work in a 4th Gen? I want to post the whole...

    Revolver X4s on RamBoxes w/MFT - they say it doesn't work?!

    I tried to order a Revolver X4s cover for my truck today. '21 Limited with RamBoxes and Multi-Function Tailgate. The lady at Bak said that the Revolver doesn't work with the MFT. Really? I know it doesn't work with an MFT if you do NOT have RamBoxes. Those trucks have the extra brackets in the...

    DEF at the pump?

    I'm wondering where I might expect to find DEF at the pump. I got it at a Buc-ee's in KY last week. Do all Buc-ee's have pumps with DEF? I gather I can get it at Love's, Flying J, and Pilot. Do they have it at the car pumps, or only at the big truck pumps? Are there other brands that...

    Help getting silver rails?

    I just got a '21 Limited with RamBoxes, MFT, and the factory trifold cover. Which means it has the black bed rails. I want to order the silver rails (DTRAILKIT), so I can install a better cover. But, I have tried at least 4 different websites that sell MOPAR parts. Every one of them must use...

    Alternatives to Revolver X4?

    I put a Revolver X4 cover on my '19. It is less than 3 years old and already has cracks in the vinyl covering, and the felt runners on the underside had come unglued and were hanging down like a ratty old headliner. I did treat the top with 303 Aerospace Protectant when it was new and 2 or 3...

    Trade-up Complete

    Monday: Reached verbal agreement with dealer on deal to trade my truck for a newer, used truck. Swapped out the wheels on my truck for the original, stock wheels and tires that were still in my garage. Tuesday: Hit the road in the morning and drove 930 miles, from SC to Davenport, IA, and...

    Test drove ED today. What to buy?

    I test drove a '22 Laramie with an EcoDiesel today. First time I've driven an ED. I had an '09 RAM 1500 with Hemi until I traded it for my '19 1500 Hemi w/eTorque. I like how my truck runs and drives with the Hemi. Both my trucks had/have the 3.92 rear end. The ED I drove today also had a 3.92...

    Sudden battery death

    I have the truck in my sig. 67K miles on it now. I drove it last Wed and it was fine. It was parked until yesterday (Monday - 5 days). I went to go out to lunch yesterday and when I unlocked it, the power locks did unlock, but they sounded "soft". My power running board did deploy. Instrument...

    Hub-centric? Bore spacers required?

    I ordered wheels and tires from TireRack which arrived today. I ordered over the phone so I could ask about bore spacers. I read another thread on here where somebody got Fuel wheels and they came with the correct bore spacers in the box. I have also read on here where people have stated that...

    Sanity check, please, before online purchase?

    Hey folks, I am looking at my first ever purchase of aftermarket wheels. There are so many variables that it is really hard to find info that exactly matches what I'm doing. I'm hoping somebody knowledgeable can take a minute to look at my plan and tell me if I'm about to screw up. I'm looking...

    News on a tune?

    Is there any news on any kind of tune being available for the new ED? Is GDE going to have something? I saw a post at some point that implied that GDE is NOT going to have one, but I hope that is wrong. Does anyone else do tunes for the new ED? I don't have an ED - yet. But, my plan is to...

    Latest dealer visit - random clunking

    My truck started making a clunking noise a couple of months ago coming from somewhere under the cab. At first it only happened when I made a sharp left turn. Before I had a chance to get it looked at, it seemed like it went away. Then it started doing the same thing again but at totally random...

    Mileage - Cruise vs Adaptive Cruise

    I have about 8K miles on my truck now. I use Adaptive Cruise Control all the time. Like, going down the 40MPH street that leads to my neighborhood, I'll have it on. There is always traffic around here, so I have found it very easy and convenient to just let the ACC manage my speed and keep me...

    Clunk when turning left?

    I have started noticing (over the last week or two) a clunk that happens only when I turn left. At first, I only noticed it being sort of faint and only when I was going slow and made a full lock turn to the left. Today, it is to the point where I can be driving down the road at pretty much any...

    DAMMIT!! First blood. Curb Rash.

    I just did this. My own damn fault. The curb looked like it was 4" high. I would have never thought it was high enough to rash my wheel. I have also never had a truck with tires this low profile. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Anybody know if I might be able to get this fixed? I mean, fixed so you...
