    Subwoofer upgrade results?

    Hoping it's just through the floor mat. My sub just sits under that rear left seat without being tethered to anything. I've locked up the brakes for flying turkeys, idiot drivers, too many deer, and other hazards. Not once has my sub slid out from under the seat. I don't believe that there is a...

    Ambient temperature- extremely wrong

    That sucks to deal with. You didn't list any info about your truck. What is the year and model? Is it still under warranty? You said that it's been having this problem for the past few months. Is it safe to assume that it worked correctly before then?

    Very Dusty Bed

    I think that most tonneau covers also aren't sealed well up near the cab either. You could buy a seal kit or improvise your own, but I agree with PurpleRT - the bed is made to carry things, not keep them pristine clean. If I were constantly on gravel roads, I think that I would try to seal up...

    Has anyone installed aftermarket subwoofer?

    I was born in the 70s but mainly like music from that decade back to the start of the blues. Friends are always shocked when I don't know the latest songs (or songs from two decades ago) but I'm always finding new stuff to me that was created long before I was born. I suppose that our dad was...

    Has anyone installed aftermarket subwoofer?

    One of the many good things that I learned from my older brother, was not to blare your upgraded car stereo around home. His point was that you don't want everybody who lives around you to know that there is expensive electronics sitting in your car, ready to be stolen. Of course, the real...

    Interesting sound while parked

    Long ago when our daughter was young, as part of a bonus my boss included an old Honda that he used when he flew into town. It became my wife's car and there was food and trash everywhere. Sure enough it eventually got mice. I couldn't help but laugh. She did start to try keeping it in better...

    Help before I buy a mistake!

    I've towed my Alumacraft Navigator thousands of miles with both a 2015 with 3.21 gears and my current 2021 with 3.92 gears. There is no difference in towing or MPG. Somewhere there is a thread that breaks it down simply, that you are trading a low gear for a high gear when going from 3.21 to...

    Has anyone installed aftermarket subwoofer?

    I removed the ANC module under the drivers seat, put in a small amp, and connected it to a sub that sits under the right rear seat. It works well. I don't like the stock stereo in the RAM but have never spent the time or money to upgrade it. I've always been tempted to put in another amp for the...

    Interesting sound while parked

    There are little people that keep your truck running. What you hear is them punching the clock at the end of their shift.

    Any idea why truck does this

    You still have winter air in the tires. You need to flush and replace with summer air.

    Gravel Road driving

    You're not driving fast enough. You should be on the gas hard enough that the rear end kicks loose even on the straightaways. It will shoot the gravel out at a lower trajectory, thereby saving your speed sensors. How did that sound, like I know what I'm talking about? Disregard my advice but it...

    Oil change monitor

    Without dipping too far into the 3k/5k/10k debate, I'll say that the best advice that I ever got was that if you are close to needing an oil change then do it before a long trip. Oil lubricates your engine and helps it stay cool. There is no debating that no matter which way you land on the...

    2019 Ram Bighorn Starter failure at 98k miles

    I had the same initial problem this morning. One click and nothing. I slid underneath and hit the starter with a hammer, and it started. I have the extended warranty with Zurich - $200 deductible, which already paid for itself on the cracked exhaust manifolds. However, a new starter was $210 so...

    Anyone opt for the bench seat in the front instead of captain chairs?

    I miss my old truck with the bench seat and the dual stick shifts. Nothing better than having a lady sit in the middle and having to jam it down into 4th gear. On the other hand, nothing worse than shifting gears with your buddy sitting in that middle seat....

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    I'll add in that I never changed the mode of my Pedal Commander. It stayed in -4 Eco mode all of the time. It can malfunction (sudden acceleration) even when you follow the instructions. That's my anecdotal evidence.

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    I used a Pedal Commander for about 1yr. I actually used it to increase lag since I don't need it to jump off of the line. I wanted better fuel economy. It worked well for that. Fast forward to early this winter and I hit a normal manhole cover in the street. The truck went haywire and started...

    Stellantis Lemon Law

    I have not dealt with Stellantis specifically, but I did get Ford to buy back a truck about 15yrs ago. I dealt with similar issues that could not get resolved. I documented everything - every dealer visit, every conversation, every phone call, and every letter. It built a nice case. I never...

    Battery Change: Optima Yellow Top AGM or Not?

    The original battery in my 2021 is on its fourth Minnesota winter. The stock battery in my 2015 Ram only lasted four winters before needing to be replaced. I'm likely close to needing a replacement. There is an Interstate Battery distribution center near my house with a tiny retail store on the...

    New head of Ram...

    Increasing price and decreasing quality are a problem with the Ram trucks, but certainly aren't the only brand dealing with this issue.

    Electronic Stability Control error - truck accelerating on its own

    I hit a tiny pothole this morning - 90% sure it was just a regular closed manhole - while driving in the snow with truck in 4-Auto. All of a sudden the ESC error message popped on the dashboard, traction control went off, and the truck started accelerating on its own. I was only a mile from my...
