Got done with a 12hr trip to Nashville from pa, cruise set at 80, with all the mountains, I’m kinda impressed.

Also when ever I would accept a call my damn radio would freeze and wouldn’t let any music play, only the turn by turn from car play. Had to pull over. Turn the truck off. Wait, and then reboot the radio.

Which rear differential do you have? At a similar speed, but running between Atlanta or Asheville and Indianapolis, I couldn't manage more than 16.3. It's absolutely terrible when I can't even get the typical city economy when running on the interstate. Even more insulting, when you actually calculate miles traveled and gas refilled, you'll see that the Ram's meter is VERY optimistic. Reality is about 10% less economy than reported.

I would be very happy with even an average of 17.5 on the interstate. Let alone what the sticker claims. I wanted to go from ATL to IND on a single tank of gas (I have the 33 gal) and I couldn't quite make it.

This morning I finally got around to taking it to the dealer for the all-weather floormat recall. Then walked over to parts dept and ordered in a set of vent visors.

installed my MTI sub enclosure, JL 1001-1 ,Kicker 12’s and Amp Research steps

Wish I had space under my seat for that but need it to store my hunting geer and shotguns/rifles. Very jealous.

I think I need this for this duck season. I really need the same but in red for the bed.

Try muting and unmuting after the phone call. My truck does the same thing after listening to a text over car play. The mute button trick usually works for me

The radio screen completely froze. Couldn’t do anything.

Tried all the forum tricks here. A hard reset was the only thing that unfroze it.

The lower of the two. I had no plans of lifting or towing with it.

If I left the *** and dod on and stayed at 65-70 I could imagine seeing close to the sticker.

Installed Bilstein 5100 #5 in the front and Motofab 1" spacer in the rear. 12" from the ground to the lowest point of the frame (except the rear diff) - great improvement! 20211007_034803668_iOS.jpg

Not sure, I haven’t gotten off the 35 MPH city streets yet but not noticeable at low speed. Definitely a little rougher ride from the Dueler’s, but that was expected. Website has 33 x 12.5 R 20 LT listed as available.

I’ve had the same issue with the music after a call through CarPlay. If I unplug my phone, play music through Bluetooth, then reconnect for CarPlay it’ll work again. Better than having to stop I guess
