    Tire pressure monitors?

    My vehicle information screen shows the tire pressure for each tire. But how does the computer know which tpms transmitter is in which position? Or does it not? When I rotated the tires doesn't the computer loose track of which tire is where? The info screen seems to show the four tires in a...

    Wheel touch up paint

    Is there a paint code for my painted aluminum wheels? 2021 1500 classic. I guess a small chip in the wheel... an exact match won't be all that important. Butt if there is an exact match available I guess that's what I'd use.

    radio volume goes up and down

    The volume on my radio goes up and down randomly. This happens both when I'm driving and when I'm just sitting parked. It happens playing FM, streaming music or podcasts, or playing music from a thumb drive plugged into the USP port. I do have the speed variable volume adjustment turned on...

    how does the anti-spin rear axle work?

    I paid extra for the anti-spin rear differential. But now I'm not so sure it was worth it. With the ABS equipment applying the brakes to a spinning rear tire and transferring power to the other tire, what does the anti-spin rear diff really do for me? In my `99 Silverado I could definitely...

    what adhesive for mounting bracket to windshield?

    I want to mount a small light bar bracket to the inside of my windshield. Hopefully this is a temporary situation, but it could easily be months before I finally install auxiliary switches, relay, and buy and mount new light fixtures. The light I have now is only suited for inside the vehicle...

    Does my radio have a cellular connection? - Uconnect3

    I have a 2021 Tradesman with the lowest level radio. I think it's a Uconnect3. I don't have GPS or Android Auto or any of that stuff. I was offered to sign up for some Uconnect application on my cell phone so I could do some remote start or some other useless bunk. I didn't pay for it. But...

    Why the "dumbells" on the sides of the frame?

    Putting rust proofing under my truck this week I noticed two cast iron weights mounted one on each side of the frame. Looks like they are mounted in some kind of rubber like a vibration damper of some kind. But I can't imagine why therewould be vibration dampeners on the frame rails. What are...

    999,999 drivetrain warranty?

    When I bought my 2021 Ram 1500 I was told there is a 999,999 mile lifetime drivetrain warranty. That seems too good to be true. I'm sure you would need maintenance records to make use of that warranty. But, still... seems impossible. Does anyone know the terms of that warranty or what the...

    ESC fully off, or only partially.

    Vehicle: 2021 Ram 1500 Classic, Tradesman, 4WD. Transfer case offers 4LOCK, 2WD, and 4LOW. I have an ESC button and when I press it momentarily, the "ESC OFF" indicator light appears on the dashboard. But if I hold the button for five seconds, there is NO CHIME and the "ESC OFF" indicator...

    Prevent cargo light from turning on when doors open?

    Just getting to know my 2021 Classic Tradesman. I noticed the stupid cargo light always comes on when I open the doors to exit the vehicle. This is not good. I can't find an option to disable that feature within the UConnect settings on the dashboard/radio. Turning off the interior dome...

    "Peel Here" stickers on new wheels?

    Just picked up a new 1500 Classic last week and the wheels all have a little yellow sticker on them that says "Peel Here". So, I peeled one off and underneat the sticker is a dark rough patch that looks like the aluminum wheel didn't get painted underneath the sticker. The dark rough patch is...

    Slick 50?

    Years ago I used some Slick 50 in my car and trucks. It really worked well. I could tell that the rpm was faster when the starter was cranking the engine at start up. The running temp also came down just a tad (I'm not sure why it did that, though??? You'd think the thermostat would control...

    Crew Cab Classic made in Saltillo, Mexico

    I thought new Ram Classics Crew Cabs were being made in Warren, Michigan. Maybe some are. But I just got the VIN on the truck I ordered and I'll be darned if it wasn't made in Mexico! Word on the street was that only HD versions and single cab Classics were made in Saltillo. I guess that's...

    Best rustproofing option?

    Expecting delivery of a new Classic - hopefully within a couple of months. I'd still be driving my old '99 Silverado if it hadn't disintegrated into a loose pile of rust. So, I'm planning to take extreme measures to keep my new rig from rusting out from underneath me. There's a local...

    Why do I need AlphaOBD?

    The only mechanical or electrical modification I plan to make to my truck is installation of auxiliary switches and flashing blue lights. I can see why AlphaOBD could be really useful, but I'm not sure what can really be accomplished with it. Can you turn off the multi-displacement system...

    what's a good repair/maintenance manual

    I've always bought a Haynes manual to go along with each vehicle I own. Is there something better or more comprehensive that I should consider?

    What to order on new 2021 1500 Classic?

    Greetings all... I am putting the finishing touches on an order for a new 2021 1500 Classic crew cab 4WD with the 5.7L V-8. I've read several folks here suggest going with 3.92 gears instead of the highway gears. Is there a big difference in fuel mileage or acceleration between the two? I...
