    Octane Question

    I have a 2021 1500 Limited with the 5.7 Hemi. With the skyrocketing cost of gas, I've been using 87 octane gas (regular). I sometimes get occasional very light knocking only when the engine is in ECO mode (MDS) but other than that it runs great. However, when I recently tried to pull my travel...

    Accurately Measure Trailer Tongue Weight from Home

    When loading your trailer, it's always good to know its accurate tongue weight to ensure that you don't exceed your truck's rated payload and to ensure that the tongue weight is within the recommended 10%-15% of the trailer's GVW. The problem with that is, it's not always easy or convenient to...

    IBS and Winch Power Connections

    Many newer RAMs use an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) to monitor battery conditions. In normal operation, all electrical loads in the vehicle pass through the IBS which is located at the negative post on the 12 Volt battery. You're not supposed to connect any electrical load directly to the...

    RAM Payload Definition in Regards to Towing

    I recently purchased a 2021 RAM 1500 Limited. I only have an 1156 lb Payload rating (as per the door sticker) to work with. So, each pound means a lot when it comes to selecting a Travel Trailer. On the trailer I want, I calculate I'll be around 90 lbs over my payload limit after I add all...

    New 5th-Gen 1500 Fuse / Relay / Circuit Breaker Diagrams & Documentation

    I posted a diagram for the Internal Fuse Panel recently. This was good information to share with other 5th-Gen 1500 owners because the owner's manual doesn't contain such a diagram and the labels on the panel are very hard to read. However, there was a lot more information that could be even...

    Here's a Labeled Fuse Diagram for the 1500

    Edit: I've updated all the information here to a much more comprehensive thread covering both the internal and external fuse panels. Please see this thread for the update and a lot more information. I was installing a Dash Cam and a Radar Detector in my new 1500 and I needed to find a fuse...

    Creaking Sound on 2021 Limited

    I just took delivery of a 2021 1500 Limited. I immediately noticed a loud creaking sound at low speeds (10-25mph) whenever I accelerate, deaccelerate, or brake. The sound is definitely coming from the rear. It sounds more like a 20-year-old vehicle rather than a brand new one. I suspect it's...

    Tri-Fold Hard Tonneau that works with Multifunction Tailgate

    Does anyone know which tri-fold hard tonneau covers work with the Multifunction Tailgate? Most say that they don't.

    Bed/Tailgate Mat for 2021 RAM 1500 with MFT

    Does anyone know of a Bed Mat (not a bed liner) that comes with a tailgate mat that works with the Multifunction Tailgate? Or just a tailgate mat alone?

    Repaint a New RAM?

    I just took delivery of a 2021 RAM 1500 Limited, Night Edition in black. I always do a detailed inspection before I accept the vehicle, but this time the salesman walked up to me and apologized for a paint defect the dealership found. There is a tiny area on the hood where the paint is slightly...

    Off-Road Group Questions

    I'm building a configuration for a 2021 1500 Laramie and wondering if I should get the Off-Road Group. For only $840 it adds quite a few useful features: I'm not planning on doing much if any serious off-roading but I do travel a lot on rough dirt and gravel roads and appreciate the extra...
