    Rules of Engagement: Five-Position Electronically Shifted Transfer Case

    Hi, Has anyone seen official Ram documentation that specifies, in writing, what the rules/requirements are when using the Electronically shifted transfer case; such as shifting from 2WD to 4WD? I understand it's best to not be moving or going less than 25mph, if possible, before you shift from...

    USB ALWAYS ON?

    this answer was very helpful. thanks for posting. i thought there was something wrong with mine, as the USB light turns back on if i pull the door handle when truck is locked (without key being near me) or if use my key and lock the truck twice, it will turn on after the second attempt to lock...

    Gauge Cluster Indicators

    Does anyone know what this symbol is when you start up your truck (look for yellow truck with star and words "off" in picture; below the "215" miles in Range Indicator to the left of speedometer. I realize it's just a system check and there is no problem (as goes out once engine starts), im...

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    thanks. But "more than likely" doesnt give me a sense of comfort or security when i travel with my family 200 miles from my home to a rural location at our lake house.

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    thanks....what i meant to say is that it was so dead, jumping the battery (from another car) did not work. i took the battery to an auto parts shop. they said the battery was so far drained, they can not do a load test on it to determine if it has a bad cell. So, when i took the dead...

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    Thanks. I have absolutely no problem buying an aftermarket battery. I already did that, just to get home and be able to take it to a dealer. My concern is that we (dealer) have not determined if it was a bad battery or something else happening in the truck that is prematurely draining the...

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    yes...i think everyone can agree that these trucks have alot of onboard things that draw power when the truck is on or off....but one year life of a battery is way far off the industry standard for any automobile, even if the car or truck is communicating with NASA on Mars, one year is not an...

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    thank you for your reply. that's unfortunate that you have to go to measures such as you are to ensure your battery doesnt die..that's just not normal, but if it's something you are willing to do, then more power to you and i up it works out for you.

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    Thanks for your reply. Here's the rub; my original battery was drained so badly, it would not accept a jump, nor did it have enough ummph in it to even be load tested. Dealer charged it for 3 hours, it accepted a full charge and they sent me on my way. That is not the right answer...

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    Hi, I also have recently experienced an premature dead battery (13,000 miles and just over a year old on 2021 Ram Limited Longhorn). While I have read through many of the forum posts, I have not seen a post whereby the owner or dealer clearly identified and corrected the problem (parasitic...

    Uconnect 5 no text option for IPhone 12?

    I had a pixel xl and a pixel 3 XL working fine on mine....make sure your notifications are on in your phones settings and ensure that when you initially pair your phone that you allow it to access contacts and messages

    Uconnect 5 no text option for IPhone 12?

    Thanks. I am not running CarPlay. But I am receiving texts without having CarPlay on, simply because i needed to turn on notifications on my cell phone.

    Uconnect 5 no text option for IPhone 12?

    As it turns out, I am able to used messaging/text without Carplay. I needed to "turn on notifications" in the Bluetooth settings of my IPhone.
