    Spooky radio

    Several times now, my ‘20 Laramie 8.4 Nav radio refuses to turn off. Normally it shuts down when I turn the truck off, and open the door. Lately, on occasion, the radio stays on, the radio power button does nothing, and the five lights on the drivetrain mode button panel (next to the shift...

    OEM Rear Mud Flaps - WTF?

    Put on the Mopar mud flaps a while ago, and am more and more annoyed by the fact that the rears turn into 2 liter water bottles in the rain! Tne morning after I park in the garage after driving in the rain, there’s a large puddle on each side, as the water (painfully) slowly drips out at the...

    Check your rear diff fluid level

    My 20 Laramie 4x4 w/3.92 and limited slip, just now at around 17k, started making an occasional small binding sound when turning sharply either way. First thought it was Auto AWD or something in the front not disengaging, but determined the noise/vibe did not seem to come from the front. Then...

    alphaOBD help

    Couple questions on using alphaOBD on a 20 Laramie: - is there a setting to enable an Active Air Dam? - is there a way to enable the off-road screens? - is there a way to enable the NAV keyboard while in motion (and not screw anything else up)? - is there a way to raise the speed at which the...

    Got oil cooler? No, u don’t...

    Hoping I’m proven wrong, but I took it as gospel what some said about there being an engine oil cooler built into the radiator in the 5.7 1500’s. Nope! May not be true for all, but my 20 Laramie Sport 5.7 3.92 has no engine oil cooler. When changing the oil (upgraded to larger Wix filter...

    Does the Mopar cat-back exhaust drone when towing ?

    Considering a cat-back exhaust system, and there are three things I require 1. Nice sound but not too much 2. Zero drone when towing 3. Not obnoxious, more aggressive than loud So I’m after a lame upgrade - think the Mopar setup is my best bet?

    RRT for missing parts in MFT???

    My local dealer’s service department is pitifully incompetent (yes you Ourisman of Clarksville). When I was trying to get them to replace the slack tailgate cable under a TS, they were clueless. They did claim there was an RRT on the MFT to remove the plastic cover and check for missing parts...

If you’re near Columbia MD or passing thru, and want to know your actual tongue weight, let me know and we’ll measure (and help me justify having spent...

    Sway bar and TT towing

    Would a Hellwig sway bar do anything when towing? seems to me, a sway bar only functions when the truck body is leaning (with respect to the rear axle). I don’t imagine the truck leaning much if at all when towing a big, slow turning travel trailer. thoughts? Anybody put one on and notice...

    Getting caught in the rain...

    Does your MPG go down when towing in the rain? Seems reasonable it would, and mine does by something like 1 mpg (3.92, 6800# TT). I know winter gas, cold wx, conditions, etc have their impact, but wondering what the rest of you in the real world experience...
