    Power tailgate opens w overhead switch while driving

    Mine definitely has a tailgate open indicator. It is annoying because it takes over the whole screen until you confirm. Mine also does not open with the button in drive. This was annoying at the dump the other day because the tailgate handle doesn’t work either in drive. So if a second person...

    Truck bed divider missing?

    Same thing happened to me. Dealer replaced without issue. Make sure they order the lock kit and key to match. This took a second trip and if they are fighting you now better to get it all up front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2022 Laramie night edition damaged on delivery.

    I’m not sure how this works on ordered vehicles, but a lot of states have a 3 day large purchase back out law. I would return the truck make them fix it then take delivery. You have more power the sooner you address it. You wait 10 days you may be stuck hiring a lawyer and fighting for a...

    OEM Rear Mud Flaps - WTF?

    They have little slits in the bottom for drainage that clog immediately. I have a gravel driveway so the whole "cup" fills full of dirt. Worst design ever!!! 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 - Crew Cab/5.7 Bed - 5.7 Hemi - 3.92 - Anti Spin - Level 1 Options - RamBox - BUG

    110 Outlet

    400w isn't much, but did you try it with the engine running? A little extra juice from the alternator could keep the voltage from dropping spiking the amps. The pump should have a label on it somewhere stating the power requirements. 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 - Crew Cab/5.7 Bed - 5.7 Hemi -...

    When dealership fixes and replaces parts under warranty Am i allowed to request the broken part be given to me upon pickup?

    The loaner part seems to depend on dealership. I took mine in for a window regulator and the needed a part that would take the weekend to arrive. They gave me a rental for the weekend. You would think in 22 days even if they didn't have a loaner one would have showed up by now. 2019 Ram 1500...

    Stolen truck..

    There is also a backpack repeater method for new passive entry vehicles. They don't need to steel your key fob code they just need to get close enough to your key fob with a second person at the car with a receiver. If your key fob is located < 6ft from an exterior wall they can get into your...

    Transmission gets stuck in first gear

    I test drove one that did that. Service dept. claimed low battery was the cause. Apparently low batteries cause some strange thing to happen on these. 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 - Crew Cab/5.7 Bed - 5.7 Hemi - 3.92 - Anti Spin - Level 1 Options - RamBox - BUG

    Ram survey on future engine choices

    They were supposed to be working in a turbo i6. They said this is because they didn't want to sacrifice the low end torque of the hemi. I guess adding turbos to the Pentastar didn't produce the results they wanted. For the Pentastar drivers I would be curious about the new Jeep 4xe drive...

    2022 RAM 1500

    When they ditched the crosshair in 2018 they said it was because they had to separate from the Dodge brand it may also have been a push from the Dodge brand so unfortunately it is probably never coming back. The current one is definately better than the stupid 2018 version. 2019 Ram 1500...

    Anyone jnow why they switched from tow hooks to loops?

    Watch Matt's off road recovery on YouTube. Get a kenetic energy rope and soft shackles for hooking to loops. He puts the Yabkum ropes through some torture. Having a short tow strap can be useful too depending on vehicles involved. 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 - Crew Cab/5.7 Bed - 5.7 Hemi - 3.92...

    Anyone hacked their Uconnect...?

    Probably best way to get wireless Android auto and Carplay is to wait until the upgraded units come out in the new Rams and hope they are just plug and play with ours. They typically have been assuming going from 8.4 to 8.4 or possibly 12 to 12. Ford is doing it for 2021 with Sync 4 so fca has...

    Interior lighting question & frustration

    I've never found the display off to be that useful because they leave the backlight on. They need a solution with these new brighter screens. Would be nice if the headlights were in auto it would apply dimmer signal. I don't know how the dash dimmer is triggered, but radios always have a power...

    Anyone have the 2nd to 1st “BUMP” ?

    Is this a classic or new body style? I only ask because there are lengthy threads about this in the 4th section with no resolution. Sometimes replacing control module is reported to fix it, but it also resets the transmission. I don't remember ever seeing anyone reply back months later and...

    Auto off

    Not sure who it was, but a manufacturer has added auto idle shutoff as a feature in their HD trucks. I don't believe the 1500 will do this. Maybe a feature tazer can add. 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 - Crew Cab/5.7 Bed - 5.7 Hemi - 3.92 - Anti Spin - Level 1 Options - RamBox - BUG

    Finish this sentence: "If I had it all to do over again with my Ram 1500, I would _______________."

    I purchased a 2016 express quad cab with lots of regrets. Got a 2019 crew cab Laramie level 1 w/ramboxes. I could have lived with bighorn level 2 and led premium light group, but that is hard to find and almost as much. I wish I would have got one in patriot blue and jury still out on having a...

    OIL CHANGE HACK!....No drips...not one!

    Then maybe a modified cup with a hose. Unfortunately I've never changed the oil on a ram. I've only heard stories. That is nuts it drains that much oil out. I've never had another car do that. I've changed my own oil on all previous vehicles. Usually the only oil leak is because the filter isn't...

    OIL CHANGE HACK!....No drips...not one!

    What about this? Don't have it but figured I'd see if something like the two above statements already existed. https://www.alliedelectronics.com/60070.html 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 - Crew Cab/5.7 Bed - 5.7 Hemi - 3.92 - Anti Spin - Level 1 Options - RamBox - BUG

    Air conditioning Hack

    Bypassing heater cores is how heat used to work on cars back when we had slider controls that just opened and closed the heater core valve. I wish they still controlled water flow to heater core some. There is no reason for that 200 degree water to be inside the cab when the a/c is on. Whether...
