    B Pillar Body Cushions

    Exactly the same. Loosen mounts on both sides, remove bolts on one side only and lift the body enough to pull out the top of the mount. One thing I did was after I replaced mine, I left the bolts somewhat loose and moved the truck to allow it to settle correctly without any binding. Then I...

    Paint Cracking at Edge of Hood

    The pic isn't the best? It's zoomed in with a focus on the crack, not the rest of the hood for reflection purposes. Here are some pics of before and after the decal, which have been on the truck for 4 years this week. I think there's plenty of reflection.

    Paint Cracking at Edge of Hood

    Yes, I bought it new. Had 25 miles on it when I picked it up. I just waxed the truck about a month ago and it wasn't there then. Saw this tonight after the first wash in weeks. Luckily, every time it rained, I didn't need to drive, so it stayed clean quite long after that last wax!!

    TRX cab mounts on non TRX trucks?

    You need to do the A pillar and B pillar, top and bottom mounts. Since the cost was so low and dealing with a dealer to find the fix will cost who knows how much of your time, it may be cost effective to do body mounts and sway bar end links and bushings at the same time.

    DASM won’t take calibration after windshield replacement

    How do the factory tires change anything if you have a lift or level? I have a level with the factory wheels and tires and the Forward Collision Alert is on my dash. I haven't addressed the 75B recall yet, so I'm hoping my alert is associated with that and not the level. I was fine for a...

    Paint Cracking at Edge of Hood

    2021 Rebel in mint condition. Nothing has ever hit the front end. In almost 40k miles, I have maybe 4 stone chips on the hood. Anybody else notice a crack on the leading edge of the hood? Mine is on the driver side, just offset from the center. I was washing the truck tonight and saw...

    Purchasing using an Employee Advantage Control Number

    One of the Orlando RAM dealers had a similar truck to what I drive today. When trying to make a deal, they were over $4k more for their truck than Mark Dodge. I got the buyers order from MD on my truck and the local dealer said they couldn't even come close to that price. In Orlando, dealers...

    How to attach floor mat anchors?

    I think that's broken. Looking online, there appears to be a part under the carpet that this connects to. I'm not positive on this, but do Jeeps use the same part? https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/5PL11TX7AA-carpet-button-wrangler-jl-jk-gladiator-jt

    Ram step 2025

    I think they removed the lower bumper extensions that hid the step better on the pre-'25 models. So, you will see the step more now than before. I also saw a post earlier where someone had similar issues and couldn't get his Amazon step for '19-'24 trucks to install. He ended up buying one...

    Anybody having any issues with the 2025 1500 showing new text messages all of a sudden?

    Is this another Apple privacy protection deal? GM, Stellantis and others have been in the news regarding privacy policies. When you have your vehicle show your texts, GM and Stellantis have access to all of them and store them. But, they don't have the security to protect your data and will...

    Stock wheel question

    Did you put the full pallet of sod in the truck at one time? I was supposed to get a pallet today and I requested they split it in two loads so I don't overload the truck. They said a full pallet of St Augustine weighs about 2200#.

    My truck and a pole

    As I said, I have nothing good to say about the mandatory extortion industry either. I agree with you on the commercials, too. That said, my explanation above is still valid reasoning for why rates are going up. Could they spend less on advertising? Sure. But they won't. Every carrier...

    2024 Ram strange sound from the right rear

    My Rebel doesn't have air suspension and I hear the same thing. I always assumed it was the auto parking brake, but not sure. These new vehicles have so many sensors and auto functions, I never thought about what it was and just ignore it.

    My truck and a pole

    I wouldn't blame your raised insurance rates on the one claim you had. Insurance rates are skyrocketing. Think about it, regulations make cars crumble so much now that a 10mph impact is $10k in repairs due to crumple zones and frame shifting. Then, all of the states that mandate full glass...

    For the Ford brethren…

    Tailgate theft and tail light theft has been an issue with pick up trucks for many years. This is not new.

    Financing rebate - have to pay 4 payments?

    The issue is 100% affecting the dealership's benefit. They get additional rebates by the manufacturer based on the number of vehicles sold and the number of vehicles that they can get financed. They sell you on the rebate if financed because they want that extra amount from Stellantis. The 3...

    Earbud connectivity 2021 Ram 1500?

    Driving with earbuds in or with headphones on is actually illegal in many states. Plus the fact that you can't hear emergency vehicles, horns, etc., is dangerous. Granted, deaf people are able to drive, so it isn't only about the hearing, but deaf people are also more alert and aware to their...

    Pop/clunk noise 2021 Ram Limited

    You need to loosen all 8 body mount bolts. Only remove one side at a time, but the opposite side being loose allows the body to tilt some off the frame. To prevent any creaking or binding, move the truck a little before tightening all of the bolts to torque to allow it to sit properly after...

    Pop/clunk noise 2021 Ram Limited

    I chased a clunk when going over speed bumps or uneven terrain for almost 4 years. Another member posted details of the body mounts, so I decided to try that. It solved my issue. Took less than 1 hour to do and changes the driving experience. I did a Bilstein 5100 level and hoped that...
