    Need Advice ASAP.. Deal on the table

    Make sure there are no cops following the delivery truck because you stole that RAM! Mine is a Longhorn as well, 9-18 build, no issues other than the rear wheel brake squeal and the dislodged pano roof drain at the rear passenger side cab, which were easily fixed. I love the truck. Enjoy!

    Dumb Ram warranty stipulations?

    Pics of the letter from Chevy/GM or it didn't happen. In the first place, it's highly, HIGHLY suspect that a GM investigator used 1" over stock tire size as a data point for refusing warranty claim against a defective frame on an otherwise stock suspension truck. That's almost within...

    Manual shifting wont go up, only down

    Might add that IF you do reset with the battery, you will lose a lot of user entered optional settings, especially if you have either of the uconnect screens.

    Manual shifting wont go up, only down

    Two things I'd try before taking it into the dealer. Next time you crank it and are in "D", engage the ERS by hitting the "-", then disable by holding the "+" for couple seconds or the gear limiter indicators clear off the display. Put in park and turn off the ignition. Test it, If that didn't...

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    I find my AC to work exceptionally well. Had record heat here last week with temps in the high 90s everyday, no problems getting the ambient temp in the cabin down to the low 70s in short order. September 18 build.

    Thumbs up for Toyo Open Country ATII's

    I logged over 180,000 miles on Toyo Open Country AT2's on my Avalanche. Fabulous AT tire. Acceptable tread life, great wet road and snow performance, and rides like an all season on the highway. No complaints from me at all. Running Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my RAM, very satisfied with those as well.

    Mopar OEM Hard Folding Tonneau Cover w/ Pictures

    I stand corrected. Makes more sense with the price Ram is selling it for.

    Mopar OEM Hard Folding Tonneau Cover w/ Pictures

    To the OP, that (the Mopar hard tri-fold) is actually a Bak F1, not an MX4. The MX4 is matte and aluminum, the F1 is a fiberglass composite with a glossier sheen. The F1 is the priciest hard tri-fold in the Bak line up, usually around 1k without a sale or special. Personally, I preferred the...

    Ram 1500 New tailgate? Chances of retrofit?

    Looks like it's possible, but a little pricey. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/ram-introduces-new-multi-function-tailgate-in-chicago.6565/post-93987

    New Additions

    Nice combo. If you've never had the Ridge Grapplers, you're going to love them. Very smooth for the pattern.

    Power Steering Failure! Super Dangerous

    Wow, that's.....just.....shocking. No pun intended. So the primary ground for the entire system is failing? Considering how "electronically" advanced and dependent the DT's are, to say that's a cause for concern is a huge understatement. What do you think is the cause for the arc on a tight...

    Shifter knob issues, 2019 RAM 1500, help- BRAND NEW

    Good luck with it. That's quite incredible you had two in a row. Hope you get a positive result with the repair.

    Has anyone vinyl wrapped a Limited grille on a non-black truck?

    Money well spent. That's slicker than a rooster with socks.

    Shifter knob issues, 2019 RAM 1500, help- BRAND NEW

    Quick question Paulny, if I understand correctly, FCA replaced the transmission in your first '19 Rebel correct? Did that resolve the issue on that one as far as the transmission was concerned while you had it?

    When are you doing your first oil change?

    Just and FYI, surprisingly, Mobil 1 5w-20 is not MS-6395 certified. Mobil Super Synthetic is, but M1 is not. I was a little disappointed to discover this as I have relied on M1 for many years.

    Price Increase on Ordered Vehicle

    That seems like a pretty square deal. The 5 extra gallons of gas on the preview deal seems a tad high though. Lol

    ECO mode, fuel saving mode not working

    You can disable it per drive cycle. Engage the gear limiter and MDS is locked out. Just hit - (negative or minus) gear limit button then select 8 as the limit and it will drive with normal shifting, but no MDS. It's a bit of a hassle, but it works.

    Trucks With Issues: Ordered From Factory or Bought Off The Lot

    1. Dealer Inventory 2. Longhorn Crew Cab (see sig) 3. September 18 Build 4. - Panny Sunroof Drain Grommet on rear passenger side dislodged, repaired by dealer - Random break squeal, but very faint and only at speed when it happens. I'll address with dealer if it continues or gets worse. 5...

    The single biggest reason I ordered the Longhorn instead of the Limited......

    Obviously, I agree because that is what I chose. I thought the new saddle/black was stunning without looking too cowboy. Very different than say a King Ranch feel IMHO.

    Nice! You're going to love that Truck.
