    Electrical Short?

    Had my truck in the shop to replace two exhaust pipe flange bolts that had rusted and snapped (yep, it happened to me too). Driving it back to work from the shop, the Uconnect screen shut off, and the Driver Information Screen (between the tach and speedo) started rapidly flashing between...

    Periodic Maintenance List?

    Has anyone seen a list of periodic maintenance items and their intervals (how often)? I don't have access to the maintenance manual, and would like to keep up on the maintenance so I can get my money's worth out of the rig.

    Recirculation Venting Button Flashing

    I was stopped at a stop light this past weekend behind an older diesel truck that had bad exhaust fumes. I pushed the vent recirculation button and it flashed the yellow light a few times and refused to close the vents. Ambient air temperature was about 28F. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hints When Nearing Warranty Expiration

    I'm about 4 months and 10K miles from the OEM warranty expiring. I'm seriously considering taking the truck in, complaining about a sound from the exhaust manifold to force the dealership to inspect the bolts before the warranty expires. Any other areas I should have them look at before the...

    He Got Me. (Horn Blast with Brake Pedal Press)

    While at work yesterday, word came down we had to move our vehicles so the parking lot could have some dust abatement done. Put my hand on the handle and a horn honked twice (must have been the Tundra parked next to me). Get in, step on the brake to start the truck and the honk is longer. "Sucks...

    Offroad Menu Appears

    Just a week ago, there was no "Offroad" menu option in my central cluster. This weekend, I noticed it as I was going to the Vehicle Information page. I assume this was done via OTA update; did anyone else notice this?

    Low Fuel Warning

    First off, I apologize for any duplication of thread material here; I searched and saw no pertinent threads, but I don't want to be "that guy." So, we're all familiar with the low fuel light that dings at around 50 miles remaining on the tank. Last night I was towing our camper trailer back...

    Replace Brake Light Lens/Assembly?

    People are freakin' jerks. Sometime in the last week some jerk hit my left rear brake light housing and cracked it (thankfully it didn't dent metal). Anyone know the part number for the brake light lens only (preferably) or the brake light assembly ($$$, ugh)? Thank you in advance!

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    So mine's gone bad after only 11 months (~14K miles) on the road. Just how prevalent is this issue?

    Stickers on Rearview Mirror?

    My '21 has two circular neon-green stickers that overlap (see photo). I'd like to remove these, but am unsure if they serve a purpose. Has anyone removed them? Has anyone kept them? And yes, I realize I sound like a child with this question, but I love my Ram and don't want to screw anything up. 🧐

    Long Road Trip Report

    TLDR: I'm extremely happy with the truck's performance, mileage (especially with a 3.92 ratio) and comfort during the trip. Just returned from a week-long trip to see family (college graduation) and we took my truck. More than doubled the mileage on the truck, but the end result was a very...

    Easter Egg? Not Sure, But It Was Awesome.

    Last night I was getting my travel trailer from the storage lot and, as is so typical of me, I got in a rush. I backed to within 6 feet of the trailer and stopped to install my hitch (Class IV). Opened the door, hopped out, and only then realized I hadn't put it in park. 😧 Truck rolled back...

    Question for Northerners...

    I know it's early (by 6 months or so), but I like to plan ahead. I live where we get a lot of snow, and the roads (especially secondary and tertiary) can be snow-packed and slick. In previous winters, I didn't have to worry much about my previous truck's ability to get around (the Ridgeline's...

    Scratch Protection Film

    I looked at the WeatherTech protection film (https://www.weathertech.com/ram/2021/ram1500/scratch-protection/ram-1500-cab-type/crew-cab/) but have a hard time paying $100 for adhesive transparent film for the door handles and door sills ($25 per location, essentially). Anyone know of other...

    5.7 eTorque Gotchas?

    Got a '21 Laramie with the 5.7L Hemi and eTorque. I'm familiar with what eTorque does, but are there any new owner tips/tricks/gotchas?
