    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    I've got the 3.21 axle ratio. At 240 miles I was getting 15.1 MPG on a trip up to Mt. Rainier going from 250 ft. elevation to a mile high and back. At 700 miles: completed a similar trip up Mt. Rainier and overall mileage for the full 700 miles improved to 17.2 MPG. This is on a 2019 Laramie...

    New Mopar Acc Page

    For chrome button head cap screws that mount a front license plate try Lowe's P/N: 943925 . It's a blister pack quantity of two each 5/16-18 x 3/4" selling for $4.07. Works perfectly and looks good.

    Hemi transmission

    I've felt "the bump" only once when coming to a stop on a very slight incline (railroad crossing). Have never felt it when driving while Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) was engaged. I will say that ACC accelerates and decelerates more assertively than my normal driving pattern. It seemed to me at...

    Where is everyone from?

    Originally from Arizona where a rainy day was always considered something special. Been living here in western Washington for 39 years now. The way we see it, we just have more of those special days up here compared to Arizona. (And tall trees instead of cactus!)

    Amateur radio and Uconnect

    There are elegant solutions available to implement remote PTT for radios such as Motorola's XTS5000. This involves a blue tooth accessory attachment to the XTS5000 that comes paired with a PTT switch one can attach to the steering wheel. I went with a wired PTT solution from a tactical radio...

    Amateur radio and Uconnect

    Making use of the U4C's Aux-mode provides a simple solution. You'll find the details on page 38 of the Uconnect U4C manual. It requires a 3.5mm audio cable that plugs into the Aux-In Port. On my Ram the Aux-In port can be found between the USB-1 and USB-2 input ports where the center console...

    Coolant temp

    Had my wife write down some numbers for KSIL211 while we were out driving our 2019 Ram. It's a 4x4 with the 5.7L hemi, auto trans, and 3.21 rear end. We had three 100 Lb. bales of hay in the bed, driving uphill at 35 MPH. Time of day was 18:45, humidity ~50%, and ambient air temp was 75° F...

    Priced Order Confirmation (POC) Sheet

    Thanks Alacombe, the link works for me; but then I have my new Ram in the garage, not on order (if that matters).The key for my success was clicking on the link icon in Alacombe's reply. When the page comes up "VIN not provided," simply insert one's VIN number as the end part up in web address...

    elocker or antislip

    I was at a dealership a few weeks back asking if one was restricted to purchasing options in packages. Their indication was that in some cases one could "cherry pick" individual components of an option package. I was shown the dealer's spreadsheet list of order codes. The dealership indicated...

    A new Ram owner enters the pasture

    Greetings to the Ram forum and our fellow 5th-genners. This will be my introductory posting; a bit long winded perhaps because there's Ram excitement about. Across the years I've owned 2 Chevy trucks and 5 Ford trucks. This is my first Ram truck. We took possession of a 2019 Laramie 4x4 this...
