    Exhaust Leak-Muffler

    Just replaced my bolts and gasket yesterday. I used grade 8 bolts with a new Mopar gasket. As expected, one of the bolts snapped immediately when trying to back it out, but the other came out no problem. My buddy heated up the flange and used vice grips to get the broken bolt out. If you do...

    Potential First Time Ram Owner Debating on Trim Levels

    Don’t be afraid of a 2019 model, so far mine has been great! The air suspension is well worth the price as it rides better than any vehicle I’ve ever owned. Yeah there are some bells and whistles on my Limited that I don’t really care about and some things might be expensive to fix which is...

    Vibration and sound when making slow right turn

    I had the sound for awhile and went away after I had new tires installed. I think I will eventually have to bring it in to the dealer to have the update done in the TSB. I’ll have to wait until I can reproduce it again though. I think it happens when tires wear down just enough to cause some...

    Anyone come from a 2014-2018 Silverado/Sierra

    Agreed, the GM 8-speed is horrible. When I drove my Ram for the first time with the 8-speed, all I kept thinking was how did GM screw it up so bad?! I’m not sure if the newer GM models are any better.

    Power Running Board Malfunction

    Nope. I can try spraying the hinges, but that doesn’t sound like my issue. The motor sounds like it’s struggling when it opens.

    Anyone come from a 2014-2018 Silverado/Sierra

    Honestly I couldn’t tell you. I haven’t driven any Ram other than the eTorque. The GM 6.2 engine was much stronger off the line even with the eTorque on this engine. Oh I also had a ‘97 Dodge Ram 1500 back in the day with the 360ci engine and that thing was a beast.

    Power Running Board Malfunction

    Yes, factory boards. Nothing plugged into OBD port. I have the Mopar extended warranty so I’ll have to bring into the dealer at some point. It’s definitely unnerving when you feel the running board suddenly retract on your foot.

    Power Running Board Malfunction

    Anyone having issues with their power running boards closing before you get out of the truck? I’ve stepped out of my truck a few times now and have had the running board close while my foot was touching it. I’d hate to get my foot stuck in there while it is closing! It doesn’t happen every...

    Steering Wheel DIscoloration

    FYI - I had mine replaced under warranty by the dealer. I can only guess that the discoloration is from the sun.

    Anyone come from a 2014-2018 Silverado/Sierra

    I traded in my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate for my current 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. I’ve been a Chevy guy all my life, but have owned a few Dodge vehicles here and there. The GMC was an absolute nightmare. From day 1, I hated the GM 8-speed transmission. The salesman told me that it...

    Grinding noise when turning to the right

    Yep, same issue here as well. 2019 Ram Limited. I have heard and felt this rubbing/grinding whatever it is a number of times, but have not tried to purposely reproduce the issue. I should try before bringing it in to the dealer. RAM should address this issue and issue a recall. This is an...

    How are the 2019's holding up?

    I haven't had any major issues, but I have experienced the strange rubbing, grinding sound that has been reported by many others when turning right at times. I'm hoping that will have gone away after having new tires and an alignment done this week. I've also experienced some steering wheel...

    '19 RAM 1500 Limited Dash Warnings

    What about just 4wd, same thing or just when switching to auto?

    New Tires Installed

    Welp, just had 4 new Michelin Defenders installed on my 2019 1500 Limited after only 15500 miles on my crappy O.E. Goodyears. I've always hated Goodyears and I have previous experiences with their bad tread life, but this takes the cake. They were just about at the wear indicator on all 4...

    Steering Wheel DIscoloration

    Exactly! I wonder if it would be covered under warranty.

    Steering Wheel DIscoloration

    Is anyone seeing any yellowing in their steering wheel trim piece at the 6 o'clock position? I'm not really sure what to call it, but it's the gray with while piping. Mine is starting to yellow a little bit. Anyone else?

    Tire wear 22”

    I'm at 14k on my Goodyears and they're starting to see wear. I imagine that I'm going to have to replace them in the next 4-6 months. I highly doubt if I'm going to get another year out of these. From my experience, Goodyears have always sucked.

    Gauge Cluster Indicators

    I do realize that it is normal for indicators to light up when the vehicle is started. I'm just wondering about the electronic throttle control indicator if that's normal. I recently installed and then removed a Pedal Commander and I don't remember this indicator showing at all, but I'm not...

    Gauge Cluster Indicators

    Hi guys, I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. When I start my truck, I notice an indicator displaying a lightning bolt in parentheses for a second and then goes off. I believe that the indicator for the throttle control on the pedal. Just wondering if that is normal to go on at start and then...
