    B&W Tow & Stow - Ground Clearance Issue?

    I purchased a B&W Tow & Stow for my 20 1500. My truck is a 2WD Big Horn w/ 18” wheels and no suspension modifications. The 5” model appears to only leave 11” of ground clearance. Does anyone else own the 5” model for their truck? I am concerned that departure angles will become an issue on...

    Oil Leak

    2020 5.7 eTorque, 12K. First discovered this oil leak around 7K. Dealer acknowledged the issue and replaced the oil filter adapter/cooler assembly. I cleaned the area very well after the repair, but the oil leak has returned. I am not familiar with these engines. Valve cover gasket on that...

    2021 Owners - How is your A/C?

    All of the 2021 1500's should have the updated HVAC Distribution Housing, harness and evaporator core. Poor A/C is somewhat common complaint on the 19-20 1500's. Can any of the 2021 owners provide some feedback on their truck's A/C performance? Vent temperature readings would be appreciated as...

    Truck is not fully turning off

    20 1500 DT Bighorn. When turning off the vehicle, pushing the start/stop button results in the vehicle entering the “ACC” mode instead of “OFF.” Cycling the ignition on/off several times usually resolves it. The issue is intermittent but has begun happening more frequently. Has anyone...

    WeatherTech FloorLiner HP

    Saw this announcement on an ad: https://www.weathertech.com/blog/product_spotlight/new-weathertech-floorliner-hp/ Looks like the product came out last month. More coverage and different material. Does anyone own a set? I am interested in seeing pictures.

    Differential Oil Replacement - 3.21 LSD

    Traditionally, differentials produce a significant amount of break-in debris during the first 5,000 miles of operation. For this reason, I completed my first rear differential oil change at 5,740 miles. The fluid I drained was "yellow/orange" with a slightly milky appearance. The truck has...

    Vibration Issue

    2020 5.7 etorque, 3.21 LSD, 2WD. 5800 miles. Just returned from a long road trip which involved driving thru states with 80 MPH speed limits. I noticed that at speeds above 80 MPH, there is a noticeable vibration that can be felt throughout the cab. I want to say that this vibration recently...

    AMP Research Bed Extender

    I am interested in purchasing a Bed Extender for my 2020 with the 5'7" bed. I have a few questions: 1) What are the differences between the AMP Research Bed Extender and the Mopar one? 2) I have a Bakflip MX4 cover. WIll the Bed Extender fit under this cover? Will I need to install any shims...

    Dealership $100 for 3 synthetic oil change offer

    My dealer's service coupon section lists an oil change offer - $100 for 3 synthetic oil changes. Up to 5 quarts. I think it is a Mopar national promotion. Since our trucks take 7, I would expect some upcharge ($10-20?). Does anyone else use this promo? What are you being charged for the extra...

    Squeaking noise from rear suspension

    2020 1500 Bighorn with 1300 miles. I am hearing an extremely annoying squeak each time I enter/exit the truck. The noise appears to be coming from the driver rear corner suspension. I can duplicate the noise by shaking the driver rear tire. Here is a video of what I am hearing: Has anyone...

    Had the windows tinted on my truck. 3M Crystalline 70% - front windshield and front side windows 3M Ceramic IR 35% - rear side windows and rear windshield. Surprisingly, the rear windows metered at 9.7% after applying 3M Ceramic IR 35%. The spec sheet shows this film to have a VLT of 45%...

    Mopar Extended Warranty with 100% Refund Option

    I am looking for some input on an extended warranty option from Mopar. For an extra $210 (on top of the normal cost of a 8/125k extended warranty), Mopar will give you a 100% refund after the 8 year term if you do not file any claims. The downsides I can see are: 1) FCA goes out of business...

    Bed Mat over Spray-In Liner?

    Had Line-X Premium installed onto my 2020 yesterday. While I love the look and the protection, this surface will probably damage any scratch-sensitive items (e.g. furniture). Does anyone use a Bed Mat over their spray-in bedliner? Looking for something with a soft surface. Recommendations are...

    Tonneau Cover: Lomax Hard Tri-Fold vs. Bakflip MX4

    Aside from the Bakflip MX4's ability to be folded up and placed against the cab, what other advantages does the Bakflip have? The Lomax appears to be less expensive and offer the same functionality.

    Driving Characteristics - 3.21/5.7 eTorque vs. 3.92/5.7

    Hello, I am in the market for a Ram 1500 but have no plans to use the truck for towing. I am strongly considering 3.21 gears in order to maximize fuel economy but I also recognize that 3.92 gears may deliver better off-the-line acceleration. However, the eTorque system is supposed to provide...
