    After-Market Differential Covers

    Bumping this up one last time to see if anyone else has any feedback. Even though it failed miserably the first time, I’ll say again. . . “I’m familiar with the testing Banks did on various flat vs rounded diff covers, so no need to repost that vid in this thread.” Many thanks!

    After-Market Differential Covers

    I have a 2022 Limited with the e-Locker. Thinking about possibly swapping out the Diff Covers and wondering what others have selected for those who have swapped. would appreciate any feedback and/or pics of what you’ve gone with and why. Also, I’m familiar with the testing Banks did on...

    33 gal tank

    I bought a 2019 off the lot with the 26 gal tank. I ordered my 2022 and opted up to the 33. The 33 is hands down the better choice IMHO.

    Unconnect 5 for 2022 Ram 1500 Horrible!!

    Mine too for the most part has been flawless since I did the factory reset not long after I got it. The only thing I still have is the random dark screen that others have reported. It's intermittent and not all that often, but basically lose the display entirely for no apparent reason...

    2022 eTorque Surge When Starting To Move

    Now that I've had a week to drive around a bit after the recall was applied, I feel I have to amend my previous post above. While it is definitely better than it was, I still think the 2022 auto start/stop programming is problematic. At the end of the day, the auto stop should not engage at...

    Question for Those with New Trailer Surround View Camera System

    Must be different on the HDs vs how they do it for the 1500s with this additional option. Mine has the standard 7-pin/4-pin combo receiver up on the bumper next to the license plate that comes with the tow package. I have a separate box mounted to the right of the hitch receiver under the...

    How to TRY and prevent our trucks from being stolen

    I just had a Ravelco Anti-Theft Device installed in my Ram last week. Works great, very simple and effective. Basically when the plug is in the truck functions/starts as normal. When the plug is removed all the electronics and accessories still work, but the starting components are...

    2022 eTorque Surge When Starting To Move

    Went to the dealer today for an oil change. I think I read someone mention a possible recall on this for the MY22 trucks with eTorque in another thread but couldn't find it. Even though no recall was showing for me on the owner's dashboard, it did come up as a required recall on the service...

    Question for Those with New Trailer Surround View Camera System

    Yes, the dealer and Stellantis after a little nudging acknowledged the box of parts should have been in the truck at delivery. Took some doing on their end to work out the procurement issue for the parts because at the time they were factory only and not available in the standard dealer parts...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I used spacers I got from Lowes like other posters have mentioned. Didn’t know Putco came up with their own spacers. When I reached out to them just a month or two back they simply replied they weren’t compatible with the 5th Gen with MFT, so I followed what other forum members did.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Sorry for delayed reply, didn’t notice you had tagged a question to me. The Putco install was pretty straight forward. I used 1/2” spacers all across and it fit well. Just be sure you line up your drill points well for where you’re going to mount the bolts/brackets. I lined up so the bottom...

    2022 eTorque Surge When Starting To Move

    Just checked mine and it doesn't show this recall. I'm thinking maybe this doesn't address the broader functionality of the new setup and is specific only to the stalling issue, which may already be addressed in my truck as it's a recent build. Would be curious to hear from someone who has the...

    2022 eTorque Surge When Starting To Move

    I recently went to a '22 eTorque from a '19 eTorque. Love my '22 overall but not a fan of the changes they made to the start/stop. I don't have an issue with the start when it's from a full and complete stop. That said, I find the shutdown while still moving when coming to a rolling stop to...

    2022 Uconnect 5 Traffic and Weather

    I just took delivery on my '22 (traded from a '19 with UC4) last month and had same issue with all RamConnect services working except traffic and weather. Did the factory reset today and that seemed to do the trick. Everything appears to be working now including traffic and weather. A pain to...

    Adding LED strips to the bed, how do i get them to come on with the OEM bed lights?

    I did the same with my LEDS. If you remove the OEM light on the driver's side (the one with the switch), on the back side you'll see two wire harness connections coming in. The bottom is for the power/switch, the top feeds the light from the switch and has a simple Red(+)/Black(-) two wire. I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Changed my Hellwig Sway Bar to the middle setting from the tightest. Wasn't too bad, but seemed just a tad too much on the tightest setting. Middle setting definitely seems to be the sweet spot, as most other posters have similarly commented. Also installed some additional bed lighting and a...

    Start of 2022 Production.

    I'm a few weeks from delivery of my new 2022 replacing my 2019 and very happy with it. Wanted to add my own thanks as others have done to @triple_B and @Eighty for all your knowledge, efforts, and shared info. . . you guys are awesome!! I also have a Wrangler 392 on order and belong to another...

    Please share your favorite truck mods

    I've installed a laundry list of mods. If I had to pick just one favorite I would have to go with the Hellwig Sway Bar for sure. Also like the BedRug, PowerTraxPro XR cover, and Ram AirFlow CAI (because it just looks cool and frees ups bunch of space under the hood) quite a bit.
