    Which level/lift option for Air Ride is best?

    There's loads of tutorials on how to make a 'lift' from changing links, however that's just a sensor trick where the level / height sensor will compensate and raise the truck, stiffening ride, shortening travel etc. At the least, a set of tophat spacers and then links (Plastic or metal) are fine...

    Which level/lift option for Air Ride is best?

    For air ride, Rough Country and BDS have Air Ride compatible lifts. As far as TRX wheels, I haven't looked into it in a while myself

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yikes - I've been talking to the service manager via email for the past 2 years of issues (2 back windows, 1 steering rack, 1 MGU replacement) we know eachother too well honestly. I'm looking into Tundra towing capabilities at this point after this warranty runs dry. Best of luck - some dealers...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Today? Dropped it off at the local CDJR Service Drive, by appointment, only to be 'not looked at' over an 8 hour day for manifold tick on the passenger side (seems to do it on both, temps depending) Yay Ram ownership!

    2019 RAM 1500 Exhaust leak,

    Exactly what my 2019 Rebel sounds like, passenger side also though the drivers side did this intentionally, months ago where I have similar video as well @RamCares after 3 back windows and a full interior guy for water intrusion, this is my next chapter in the Ram ownership saga - I have an...

    Apple Car Play disconnecting frequently

    Is that when your phone battery is topped off? On a long (13 hour road trip) my iphone 13 was cutting off carplay almost randomly while fully charged - I'd take the phone off and swap with with android (same cable, it's magnetic) and burn off some iphone battery with a full bright video on mute...

    Rear window leak

    Good Question - so far? Seems like it - but we've had solid rain for the past week so it's time I check it out. I'm not confident it's going to last after using this truck like a truck off road. Pretty sure body-flex helps cause the cracks outside of standard road vibration. I'm In the same...

    Want backup camera on full time when i have stuff in the bed

    Not sure if this got answered - I don't recall the parameter, however in the manual I believe it's a default that is persistent even when the Tazer is removed. Double tap the Mute button and the Tailgate camera will turn on and stay on. That'll solve your question However, I'd say since the...

    Rear window leak

    Catching up on this thread - I just completed a 3rd rear window/component replacement as well and wanted to chime in on the fact that the NTSB et al need to pressure FCA/Stellantis to actually do something about this. Ridiculous that the same problematic piece is just replaced with a new...

    Want backup camera on full time when i have stuff in the bed

    To see behind you when you can't see out of the rearview - yeah? There's a backup cam button which times out after ~15 seconds? But for fulltime on, you'd need to use a Tazer (or similar) to get permanent on as an option

    Creak/rattle dash

    Haven't been back to this thread in a while - still have the rattle but was taken aside to deal with the 3rd water intrusion from the back window/3rd brake light, so that took precedence... as for lemon law for a rattle in the interior - (don't quote me, i'm not a lawyer),I believe one of the...

    Rear window surround crack.

    Well I’m back too- rear Bakelite cracked and window was already replaced, then 3rd brake light assembly yet again in March of this year. Carpets are soaked, trim shows beaded water leaking out and drips/runs on the seats. 3rd time I’ll be visiting my local Ram for the same issue - amongst...

    Winch Tray

    This helps! that pesky 'not compatible with rebel' seems to be a common note when manufacturers don't have a test mule what's the hitch rating? I couldn't find it on westin's site; I bought a front hitch mount (also not compatible with rebel) and have yet to install it

    Bed Speakers

    You can get a decent marine set with a standalone bluetooth 'head' amplifier for ~1-150 online these days... I've been debating the same thing until I realize how many solid blutooth speakers I already own. So that's still my route - heck, $100 at costco will get you a bassy PA speaker that's...

    Exhaust header crack - me too

    What bank / cylinder etc? I'm at that mileage and concerned about the same

    Steering issues

    Thanks for posting that PDF - I recently had to pay my dealer for repairing the grinding noise from the steering wheel - looks like they might've charged me for something they should've fixed for free. @RamCares - can you DM / Post up if a dealer should be charging for the repair of an NHTSA...

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    I absolutely wish I had my own squeegee - I'll be buying a permanent one for the truck for sure I'm back with a ride report - no spoilers but it went well! The Coachmen towed very smoothly with the 10k/1k EAZLift Elite I ended up buying (didn't install the sway control arm, wasn't a fan of...

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    Good point on the torque wrench! I have a spare 'needle' type which I could leave in the trailer. The rest is stuff I've bought and shipped/received ahead just for the sake of transport. Electric level jacks is a nice touch so it saves on doing the drill-dance at each corner Very cool thank...

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    thanks for the info and the suggestions! I’ll definitely look into Goodyears for the tires - Yes, I have a rebel air ride but I am definitely thinking of the hellwig swaybar, I feel like the tail end of this wiggles a lot, I should order it already I’m getting a chain style wdh this weekend...

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    Lots of tire replacement suggestions - I’ll definitely check age as likely I won’t have a chance to swap them while picking up… Great tips on the various WDH options - I’m going to try a sway control equipped EAZ and equalizer with a similar weighted enclosed trailer just to get an idea Other...
