    The dreaded drone sound

    I apologize in advance because I know this has been talked about before. I've been through the other posts on this same issue, but I'd like to bring it back up to explain some things I have noticed that seem to specifically cause it. It seems as though other posts were combining other types of...

    First Long Trip Report (AC/MDS/MPG)

    I finally found it. 08-033-19 This superseeds a couple of the previous ones as well. After reading it they explain the exact circumstances from when I have heard the noise. Since this post I took another short trip with all kinds of stuff in the back and it did it then too. Doesn't seem...

    Lifter tick on cold start

    Not the case with me. Had my first service at 2200 miles at the dealership and still does it. So I'm guessing it wasn't "bad batch" of filters. Next I'll swap the filter out. What filters are yall using?

    2019 ram problems

    I love mine. I've had no issues that cause me to regret my purchase. I think there's a lot of nit picking that goes on here, but truth of the matter is no truck will be perfect. Granted some folks have had some issues, but that's what warranties are for in my opinion. 3200K miles just got...

    First Long Trip Report (AC/MDS/MPG)

    Thanks for the reply. However I don't believe it's engine braking. I did notice engine breaking headed down some slopes, but the issue I'm referring to sure felt like more than just downshifting. Also no change in RPMs during this. Unless I don't understand engine breaking.

    First Long Trip Report (AC/MDS/MPG)

    To be honest I'm not sure. Whatever is standard. I didn't order or shop for anything special.

    First Long Trip Report (AC/MDS/MPG)

    This is a long one so if you don't want to read it all, at least scroll down and read about the MDS....that is my main concern. Took the RAM on its first long trip (900 miles round trip). Generally speaking I'm very pleased with the truck. Cargo capacity in the back is great. Was able to fit...

    Power Side Mirrors

    I've not had power folding mirrors before. I'm wondering if they still fold manually. For instance of someone didn't know they were power and tried to collapse/open them manually would it just destroy the gears or motor or whatever? Thanks

    Running Boards or Not?(Pics Needed)

    I need some help. I'm having a really hard time making a decision on running boards for this truck. I really don't like the way they look period, but I do feel like having them would be convenient. If I had my druthers I'd get the AMP Electric running boards, but they are pricey. Would yall...

    My new Bighorn

    Had it since April. Loving it so far. No mods at this point other than LineEx (Not pictured). AMP electric running boards coming soon. Nothing too fancy, but I love it. Really like the sport package with the painted bumpers.

    Grinding Sensation in Sharp Turn

    No this is in 2wd. I would expect it in 4 to an extent.

    Grinding Sensation in Sharp Turn

    I don't think this is a major issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. When I turn super sharp and at a decent rate of speed, I can feel light vibration or it seems like a light grinding. Example I often have to make a u turn as I leave my office due to the boulevard...

    Is Active Noise Cancel on at all times?

    I'm just curious if it is always on or just when the radio/media is on. Thanks

    Weird AC recirculating air noise.

    I think I'm hearing the same thing. It's like the blower just ramps up for a 10-15 seconds and then back to where I have it set. The difference is mine does it with recirc mode on...I think. I'll have to double check to be sure.
