    Rock Hard Brake Pedal

    Yes, it hasn't been an issue, but I can't help but wonder why pressure would build up (presumably) in the system after it cools down. Seems counter intuitive.

    Rock Hard Brake Pedal

    Since new, when cold starting in the morning, my brake pedal is rock hard. Basically no travel. I need to push it firmly to start the truck, and one started it's fine, no other issues. I've never had a vehicle do this. Over 5k on the odo at this point. Anybody else experience this?

    Uconnect 8.4 nav no sound

    One of the middle ones. The right one I think.

    I am a victim of physical abuse by my Ram truck...

    Happened to me once. A darn good welt resulted. Bad design.

    Uconnect 8.4 nav no sound

    Did you try switching sources using the steering wheel control specifically? That's what worked for me the one and only time this happened.

    Truck lowers after closing doore

    Mine does it all the time. Changes in temp change pressure. It's just adjusting because it just "woke up."

    2020 Ram Rebel real world advice on towing, payload and power for our travel trailer?

    I believe the Power Wagon has even lower payload than the Rebel, definitely check that.

    2020 Ram Rebel real world advice on towing, payload and power for our travel trailer?

    A 7000lb trailer won't be an issue, but based on what you're telling us payload certainly may be. Go to a dealer and look at the door stickers of various trucks to get actual payload numbers, it's the only way to know for sure. A 2500 will for sure handle what you need. A 1500 might be OK...

    FCA Leads Mild-Hybrid Sales With eTorque Offerings:

    Inaccuracy in the article - eTorque does NOT power the AC when it is shut off at a traffic light.

    2020 Ram RPM increasing lurching when braking

    The braking on this truck, especially if you have eTorque, takes some getting used to. Assuming eTorque, you have 3 types of braking going on, some of it simultaneously: 1. ETorque braking 2. Transmission aggressively downshifting (engine braking) 3. Regular friction braking at the wheels...

    Can rear suspension handle a motorcycle carrier

    Will it do it? Yeah, I think so. Will you like it is the question. If this was a very occasional thing maybe you can get away with it, but the MUCH better option is an MC trailer. I've rented the Uhaul MC trailers and they work great for occasional hauls. If I was transporting a bike...

    Update: DO NOT BUY RAM WITH RAMBOX - Warping and Alignment Issue with 2019 Rams

    I noticed the rambox on the announced Built to Serve edition has the same slight rear warping that mine has. I'd say no fix in sight if their own marketing photos show misalignment: https://www.tfltruck.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/RM020_358FNl6qrr19r0hv881qtvafgf0lf08.jpg

    2019 Dodge Rebel Android Auto Issue

    A good cable is required for Android auto. I never had a problem with AA in the Ram, but recently I installed an aftermarket unit in my other car and AA would randomly disconnect. Eventually I tried a different cable and now it works flawlessly. I can't say why AA is so picky about cabling...

    Update: DO NOT BUY RAM WITH RAMBOX - Warping and Alignment Issue with 2019 Rams

    And only a matter of time before the warranty runs out, and we're stuck with it.

    Weather Alerts are not wanted. Can I disable?

    The 8.4 screens have these annoying weather alerts that can't be turned off as well. My Guardian subscription finally expired so maybe they'll go away. Everything about the 4c radio is garbage. The nav is terrible, the maps are outdated. The voice commands are terrible. Guardian functions...

    Blue tooth brake controller

    I wouldn't trust it. Bluetooth is funky sometimes, and the last thing you want is to lose brake functionality when towing. Plus having the brake function immediately at your fingertips in an emergency is paramount. If for whatever reason your trailer starts to sway uncontrollably the solution...

    Update: DO NOT BUY RAM WITH RAMBOX - Warping and Alignment Issue with 2019 Rams

    The trend in "fixes" from FCA is that if it can't be fixed with a 5 minute electronic flash it doesn't get fixed unless it's a safety recall. My prediction is they will fix the issue in a later model year and change the design just enough that it's not backwards compatible, and hence won't work...

    Hit SOS By Accident - Had to DISCONNECT BATTERY TO CANCEL!

    SiriusXM is on a death spiral as far as I can tell. The Guardian functions are completely useless. Remote start doesn't work, and now getting feedback on the SOS function from you guys shows us that function is unreliable at best. For SiriusXM radio, I have a family subscription to YouTube...

    Put on this screen protector today.

    I installed one of these as well. When I first installed it, I had 3 bubbles under the glass. I've installed these on phones multiple times, so I was a little perplexed. Two of the bubbles were random spots, but the one in the middle was perfectly round and dead center. I couldn't rub them...

    What's the No. 1 thing that disappointed you the most about your truck ?

    Oh man, totally with you! Push to release defies all logic. I seriously would like to ask whoever made this decision what their logic was. On topic, my biggest gripe is that the nav maps are way out of date. I just bought a Tomtom GPS unit for my motorcycle and it has recently updated maps...
