    Common Issues and Air Conditioning

    FYI... The heater core on my 2019 went at 77k miles. Was a $1600 repair job. Everything else works fine. Oh, and my stock battery died after 2.5 years. Replaced it with an Interstate.

    Suspension bucking?

    No. I rarely ever have 4WD engaged. Usually only on my buddy's 40 acres or when there is snow on the ground. 99% of the time, I am in 2WD.

    Suspension bucking?

    How many miles does yours have? Mine just hit 61k. This seems to have started around 5 - 7k ago...

    Suspension bucking?

    If I posted this in the wrong place, I apologize. But recently, my 2019 Laramie will... well buck or bronco... diagonally. Like from right front, to left rear under hard acceleration. Like it is wallowing around in the lane or something... It isn't an ignition or engine issue. The engine...

    HOW TO DISABLE Weather Alerts??

    Thanks Master Chief. I may have to contact my stealership and see what they charge for the code upgrade.

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Yeah, makes me feel like we need a check list next to the 4WD buttons with about 6 steps that we must check off with a grease pencil prior to using 4Lo...

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Not that unusual though. 6 months ago, when I suspected my battery had died, I called my dealer since it is still under warranty. I was told it would be 2 to 3 days before they could look and diagnose it. So, I went to a NAPA store where they hooked a battery tester up and confirmed I had 2...

    Might be joining the dead battery party soon

    Mine went after 28 months. I called the dealer. Dealer said it was "probably" the battery. Bring it to me and I can diagnose it in a day or two and pro rate a replacement for you. As I don't have an extra vehicle sitting around, I drove to the nearest Interstate dealer and got a new AGM...

    How are the 2019's holding up?

    The truck was overheating. I took it to the dealer and they told me it was gelled.

    How are the 2019's holding up?

    I now have 47k on my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. Picked it up in October of 2019. Runs great still. I had to have the coolant flushed and refilled. Dealer tried to say I put something in it to cause it to gel, but I have never opened the radiator or the overflow tank. At 2.5 years, the battery...

    if you have a hemi etorque

    I have it and could live without it. Honestly, when I bought my 2019, I actually wanted the eTorque engine because I bought into the hype that it would save me 2mpg. Bull$hit. My 2019 gets worse fuel mileage than my best friend's 2016 Hemi Ram. So, in my mind, it was a waste of money. I...

    Stock tires

    Those the tires that I put on mine, except I went for the 285 because I wanted a bit more meat. I have put 24k miles on them so far and have plenty of tread left. I will definitely buy these again when they wear out.

    Anyone in California recently pay off their loan with Chrysler Capital?

    Since the OP is in California, do NOT expect the title anytime soon. I recently read a thread on the Camaro forum about someone from Nevada, who bought a Camaro in California with a cashiers check. Took him 130 days to get his title. Check this out...

    Where's the CO and WY snowmageddon pics?

    Wow... No thank you. Glad I live in a state where we don't see much snow...

    Any back windows that DON'T leak?

    I have a 2019 Laramie with a Sep 2018 build date. It has 53,000 miles on her now. Zero rear window leaks. And I have the sliding rear window.

    How do you get your oil changed?

    The biggest "must have" in my book is a gallon sized zip lock bag to go around the filter as you are removing it. The filter is in such a ridiculous location, you cannot get it out without getting oil all over the front axle and steering unit unless you use the zip lock bag trick. The rest is...

    What did you forgo, to add later, to save on monthly payments?

    The factory steps and tonneau are way over priced. I saved nearly $1800 buying them afterwards.

    Start/ stop button missing in my 2021 Rebel with Hemi, no etorque, no mention of start/stop in instrument cluster either

    According to my owners manual, you only have the auto stop/start system if you have eTorque. The button I think the OP is referring to is this one: If you don't have eTorque, you don't have this. The eTorque system is comes with all V6 now, but you can get the Hemi with or without eTorque...

    2020 eTorque problems?

    I have 35k on my 2019 Laramie with eTorque. Only problem I have had is a cooling system issue about 1000 miles ago. As for the comments on poor fuel economy, you can add me to that list. I got roughly 3-5mpg better fuel economy out of my previous 2014 4x4 Silverado LTZ with the 5.3L. My 2019...

    Antifreeze smell

    Sorry it has been a while since I posted. I don't know the part number. I threw the package away. I literally went to the dealer, had him look up my VIN and get me the suggested part number. Anyway, it has been around 4000 miles since I replaced the cap and the antifreeze smell has returned...
