    2021 ram 1500 Off-road package 275/70r18 tires Fuel rebel -12 offset Heading up to the snow for a week.

    Moan/squeel after shutting off engine

    I’d say about 75% of the time when I shut the engine off and sit in the truck for a minute, I’ll hear what I can only describe as a whale noise mixed with one of those squeeking chickens slowly coming from somewhere behind the dash. I haven’t been able to get out and check or record it due to it...

    General maintenance along with oil change

    21’ bighorn with 23K miles on it. I haven’t taken it to a dealer for any services, as I change the oil/filter myself every 7500-8000 miles using PUP and stock oil filter replacement. I also check the cabin filter and have replaced it once. I also rotate tires around every oil change. I have...

    175/70r18 with snow chains

    I used the search forum and couldn’t locate an answer for my question so here it is… I’m in California and don’t see much snow/Ice where I live, therefore am a novice to these road conditions. CA at times enforces mandatory chains (regardless of 4x4 and snow rates tires)… and I’ll be making a...

    How to properly wash truck

    Sorry for the forums dumbest question, however, I’ve never cared to keep a car looking good and have always used cheap car soap with a brush and dried off with regular bath towels. Now with my new ram, I’m looking at what you guys use from start to finish to keep your truck looking new….there’s...

    Window tint

    Looking to get my 1500 tinted with ceramic. I’d like the windows to match as much as possible with good heat reduction. Is it with the $$ to tint all 4 windows plus the back, or should I tint just the front 2 windows to match the privacy glass? I was thinking 20% up front and something lighter...

    Removing decals, washing....

    My 1500 is going to arrive any day now. I got the ORP and am debating on removing the 4x4 sticker off the back. I’ve never owned a new car and have never worried about the paint on previous trucks as they’ve all been hunting rigs that I could care less about the paint...on this one, I want to...

    Active air ram delete from factory?

    I just noticed my window sticker popped up for my ordered ram. The second to last “optional equipment” shows “active air dam delete(-$85)”. Did they not put the air ram on my 1500? Does anyone else’s window sticker say this with a minus $85 next to it?

    Dealer avoiding price confirmation?

    I ordered a 1500 4 weeks ago at 20% off with a breakdown of the price including CURRENT incentives at time of order. He said this should give me an idea of what I’ll be paying although he cannot lock them in. I emailed him later telling him I wouldn’t pay over the price we discussed and he...

    New tires and MPG

    Before you say it... no I didn’t purchase my truck for MPGs. BUT, it would be nice to keep the few I have so I’m getting some research before I pull the trigger. I ordered the ORG on my CC 6’4 bed and am thinking about either 275/70r18 or 275/65r20 in an AT tire. I know bigger/heavier means less...

    Nfab epyx side steps

    My ram 1500 has been ordered and I love the look of the nfab epyx side steps. The only lift I will be doing (on top of the ORG package) is a level. It looks as if these steps stick down quite a bit from the rocker panel. Will this decrease clearance at all, or are there components under the...

    Incentives

    Based off previous months, how much do incentives typically fluctuate each month? I understand you never know what they’ll be until they’re out, but for example if they are 6K this month, have they gone as low as 2K the next month? Or do they TYPICALLY stay roughly around the same ?
