    2019 1500 Limited 4x4 ball joint failure @ 52K???

    Didn't say the shop was lying necessarily just wanted a second opinion as to the root cause of the failure. Having worked at a FCA dealership I have seen techs make a best guess and others advise work when they aren't fully confident of the solution. Sometimes they throw darts. I'll admit they...

    Best Tires for (2022) Ram 1500 Limited w/Night Edition (mostly highway driving)

    They likely use a XL rated tire due to the lower profile tire on the 22"rims to get better wear and to be able to handle the higher pin weights when towing 11k+ with the 3.92. Standard load tires would not likely provide a appropriate safety margin for the safety engineers comfort level when...

    Best Tires for (2022) Ram 1500 Limited w/Night Edition (mostly highway driving)

    It all has to do with the internal structure of the tire to handle heavier loads. Inherently their is a gain in stability and longevity over an SL rated tire which has benefits as well. Here is a good writeup that explains it fairly well...

    2019 1500 Limited 4x4 ball joint failure @ 52K???

    It's bone stock with air suspension and the factory 22s so its not very likely. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    Best Tires for (2022) Ram 1500 Limited w/Night Edition (mostly highway driving)

    I would have bought these if they were XL rated...and if they were in stock when I was buying. Lots of good reviews on them. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    FWIW...Firstone Destination AT2 are XL rated and are 3 peak mountain snowflake certified. I do not notice any noise at highway speeds. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    2019 1500 Limited 4x4 ball joint failure @ 52K???

    I did the same and agree, just seems like a odd issue to have this early. Might have just got a bad lot of ball joints that didn't have lube, or somthing since this truck hasn't seen any off road. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

    2019 1500 Limited 4x4 ball joint failure @ 52K???

    Dealers being deceptive...say it ain't so. [emoji2957] Parts will take a few days so it's back in my driveway while I wait. I'll definitely be getting some 2nd opinions from other shops in town and take a look myself. It makes the sound on the ground and in the air so they might be right. Just...

    Best Tires for (2022) Ram 1500 Limited w/Night Edition (mostly highway driving)

    Cooper makes a good tire. I choose the Destinations because they have a better design and compound for more highway use. If you drive mostly highway I think the Destinations will give you better traction in the wet/snow. My 2nd choice was the Conti Geolander AT. Tire rack has a great comparison...

    Best Tires for (2022) Ram 1500 Limited w/Night Edition (mostly highway driving)

    I just replaced my tires with Firestone Destination AT2s. They had good reviews, great wear for on road and and a 55k warranty. If you want a mild AT for mostly on road I would highly recommend them. For reference I usually run Nitto Terra Grappler GPS and these are a better price point and...

    2019 1500 Limited 4x4 ball joint failure @ 52K???

    I've done ball joints before on my 2nd and 3rd gens, just never this early. I don't have the time anymore these days with two kids in sports to do the work myself...and they are a PITA without a lift. The dealer is saying the ball joints aren't serviceable on the 5th gen so the UCA and LCA have...

    Recently purchased a use 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 Limited w/ air suspension. Took it in to the dealer because it was making a popping sound when you turned the wheel. Dealer is claiming both the upper and lower ball joints are bad on the passenger side. The truck as 52K miles and is 100% stock. I do...
