    Autopark seatbelt airbag chimes

    Wait wait wait. Are you saying that the identical intermittent problem that's been scaring me to death for some time now (start/stop message, airbag message, autopark message + lots of chimes) is actually caused by some loose wiring under the seat, and not by the total failure of all super...

    Power loss

    Gas quality. We live and travel in our 23ft 6500 lbs travel trailer full time, almost 45k miles of towing so far. Quite often we experience extreme and immediate performance and mpg changes after fill-ups (we usually drive F to E, fill-up,F to E in one day). Also, wind / aerodynamic drag. 3.21s...

    Install Tow Hooks, Active Air Dam Service Mode?

    I installed the hooks in my 2019 BH without issues with the dam. It was almost 3 years ago so I don't recall much, details but I remember it was a quick and easy upgrade. I'd certainly remember any problems with the air dam. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Tire's related to towing

    I wonder where that came from. We live and travel full time, towing a 23ft / 6200# trailer basically every other day for 2 years now. KO2s have been excellent in every aspect. Great breaking, cornering stability, excellent grip on anything. Great in snow and on wet. After 45k miles they still...

    Gas mileage of a 2021 ram 1500 5.7

    Real life, long-term (2 years +), calculated mpg of my truck. As of date of this post, 13560 miles out of the total were done towing a 23ft / 5700 travel trailer. Hope this helps. 2019 BigHorn Quad Cab 4x4, Hemi with eTorque, 3.21 axle. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Weird one-time occurrence - MDS / upshifts too early

    Yesterday I experienced a very weird behavior of my 2019 Hemi eTorque. Truck started normally in the morning, but as soon as I started driving (after about a minute) I felt something like misfiring / hesitation during acceleration in lower rpm range. Then the truck started shifting up and...

    Travel Trailer Towing Question

    We tow a slightly smaller 23ft trailer (7500# max ) with a very similar truck, the only difference is eTorque in ours, so 100lbs less of payload. Living and traveling full time in our trailer for almost 2 years / 27k miles miles now. Zero problems, very comfortable drive and ride. Lots of power...

    Pic of my truck temps

    I'm towing this (23ft total, about 6000# loaded) for almost 2 years on the road, full time RVing. 35k miles and counting. I see temps very similar to what the OP showed. The highest oil temp I ever observed was 252F, transmission 197F, in the mountains. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    To Tow / Haul or not to Tow / Haul?

    With my truck I'd average temperature differences as follows, towing the same trailer in similar conditions: TH on: Engine Oil: 226-232F Transmission: 190-198F TH off: Engine Oil: 218-226F Trans: 183-189F Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Power Folding Tow vs Manual Mirrors

    Yep, exactly. The additional one isn't a wide angle mirror (on the contrary - I think it's slightly magnifying), but it sticks out further and when properly adjusted it shows you the area well beyond reg mirrors coverage. You need to point it quite precisely. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    To Tow / Haul or not to Tow / Haul?

    It does, however in TH the engine braking is better. Useful in the mountains for sure. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    To Tow / Haul or not to Tow / Haul?

    Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out. By simple logic if a given amount of work can be done at lower temps, lower rpm and lower mpg that should be better for the truck (or any mechanical system), right? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    To Tow / Haul or not to Tow / Haul?

    Good point. I read somewhere that it locks the torque converter on lower gears as well. Trying to figure out what exactly TH does. Any idea on how to find out? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Power Folding Tow vs Manual Mirrors

    Back in 2019 when I bought my truck, if you ordered tow / trailering package, the electric folding mirrors were replaced by manual folding, rotating tow mirrors. There was no option for electric folding tow mirrors. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    To Tow / Haul or not to Tow / Haul?

    Hello All, I'm towing a medium size travel trailer (23 ft, about 6000lbs loaded) with a 2019 Hemi eTorque 3.21. Two years full time on the road now, 35k miles towing. Zero problems, plenty of power, excellent ride. One thing I'm still unsure of is if I should be using Tow / Haul mode. Based on...

    Low profile fender flares

    I left them unpainted, but regarding your other question, they don't use any sticky tape at the top. There's a rubber seal that you put on the edge (and that actually has double sided tape on it, but only to hold it to the flare itself, not to the truck body). The flares are "springy" and shaped...

    Interesting Conditions When Starting First Thing in the Morning

    These anomalies can be caused by a known issue - weak ground connections including but not limited to under the hood (driver's side, above the headlight) - these are known to make electronic systems freak out. Easy fixed with wire brush and some electrical grease. My tech at my dealer starts...
