    Not sure if anyone else uses Tapatalk, but this site disappeared today. Tapatalk is very convenient and a lot less ads than the mobile version of this site...

    Proactively sealing the rear window

    Thankfully neither of my '19s have the dreaded rear window leak. I've already replaced the gasket on the CHMSL just to be safe and plan on adding sealant to the rear window. What is everyone using? I bought both...maybe use the 81730 flowable first, wait a few days then the 81173 black to...

    MaxCare Warranty Inspection Cost

    I'm getting back in the game and picking up a used '19 Limited. Since the factory warranty is expired I'll likely buy the MaxCare and see that an inspection is required. Has anyone had one done and if so, what did it run you?

    Viofo A119 Dash Cam Settings

    I know there are quite a few others on the forum who use the Viofo A119 dash cam. How do you have it set for parking mode? Currently I have mine recording 24/7 (256gb card gives me about 3 days), however if something happens thats a LOT of 3 minute files to go through...so I'm tempted to use...

    "New Posts" Issue

    I have always clicked the "Forum" tab at the top, then the "New Posts" on the right to see a listing of all new posts/activity. Recently it has taken me to the new articles, https://5thgenrams.com/community/whats-new/posts/1155277/ . The only way to see the latest posts is via the "What's New"...

    HVAC TSB 24-001-19 - Higher Fan Speed

    Hi everyone, very glad to see this site is still very busy! I took my truck in a few months back for the HVAC TSB (not cooling very well). Ever since then when the climate control is set to "auto" and you first get in a hot truck, the fan speed goes to full blast and stays there for quite a...

    Auto Climate Control Fan Speed - Not accounting for engine temp

    I thought I recalled seeing this on here a while back and now I can't find it. Winter temps finally arrived in my area. Jumped in the truck today - had it set to 72/auto. Fan was blowing full blast, cold air at me. All other vehicles with auto climate control have ran the fan on low until...

    Check Engine Light - P0456

    Has anyone had this EVAP code pop up yet? Just hit 7,000 miles on the truck. It came on about two weeks ago and I reset it. Just came on again today... reset it as I'm out of town next week and the dealer is booked up.

    2019 Ram 1500 Press Kit

    I heard that these were given to the press during the NAIAS auto show when the 2019 Ram was introduced. I had seen them on eBay for a while and was able to snag one for a not too bad of a price (don't ask my wife). $60. Really wanted it for the hefty metal Rams head emblem and the truck...

    Random Blower Motor Noise

    I just got back from a 1,000 mile road trip. A/C did great - no issues with keeping the truck cool! I had it set on auto - 71-73 degrees for the most part. About every 20-30 minutes or so, it's like a setting changed and it blew air out of the passenger side vents. Not positive where it came...

    2019 GMC Sierra

    Looks better in person than in pictures. I spent a good half hour or more playing leapfrog with this one on I69 in Michigan this afternoon. Front end is big. Looked like an LED third brake light. The dual exhaust is very subtle and blends right in.

    Door lock binding / loud operation

    I'd say I've test driven 5 or 6 different 2019 Rams before taking delivery of mine. My passenger front door lock is very loud in operation, not a solid thud like the rest of the doors, but a very loud thud. If the door is locked and you go to pull the handle it takes a fair amount of...

    First oil change - Lifter Noise

    I did my first oil change a few days ago. Dealer gave me a free first oil change but I change my own. I'm not a fan of dealer oil changes after getting my F150 back with an oily door handle and a few slight scratches. My previous company car I always took to the local Firestone and never an...

    Fuelly

    There are only six 2019 RAMs tracking fuel economy on Fuelly.... come join us. It's just like doing it by hand and will keep a digital log of fuel mileage. I've done it with my last few vehicles and it beats keeping a paper notebook.

    B Pillars Trim Removal

    Does anyone have access to a workshop manual or know how the B Pillar trim comes off? My PPF guy is leary of putting PPF on there without a template and the right size film...says it very soft and cutting it freehand on there he's bound to cut into it. I want to pull it off and cover it in PPF...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    I had this setup on my F150 and just finished the install on my RAM. I run a Viofo A129 dual dash cam, with the rear cam mounted on the passenger side of the sliding rear window (cable tucked up inside the headliner on the passenger side. Dash cam -...

    Secure Idle / Park

    Is this an option on the Ram and I'm just not seeing it? On F150s with the keyless start, you can set it up so if it's running and the keyfob leaves the vehicle, it cannot be shifted into gear.

    Sirius/XM Guardian setup

    Has anyone had issues setting up this service? I press the assist button and nothing happens. Their tech support said see the dealer.

    2019 Laramie

    Just took delivery this morning. Was due to arrive yesterday but due to a mechanical issue with the transport it arrived this morning. Heading to the hardware store I saw the transport had pulled in so I stopped by to see it. After running errands while they did PDI, I took delivery. Haven't...

    Delivery Checklist

    After receiving a few requests...here is the delivery checklist I used when taking delivery of my 2019 Ram 1500. I had a checklist I used for my F150 - borrowed from an F150 forum member and modified a bit. I modified the RAM one based on issues people had found with their trucks. My late May...
