    Why should I stay with RAM?

    We are planning to trade in our Class-C motorhome for a travel trailer. While my 1500 technically has the capability of handling a 10k trailer, I do not want to be running near the limit for thousands of miles so I will be going to a 3/4 ton. I was just going to go with a new Ram because I've...

    Remote Start on 2500?

    Maybe I'm am somehow missing it, but when I do a page search neither "remote" nor "start" shows up as an option for remote start. Is it no longer available, or what? That's a non-starter (no pun in ten did) for me...

    Chaff or wheat?

    There are a lot of posts on here (mostly "answers") with "information" that is suspect, incorrect or downright damaging. I guess it's up to the readership to separate the chaff from the wheat. That's what I've been doing, but the winnowing has become (what seems to me) burdensome. Anyone else...

    1955 help

    Just bought a C100 - 1955 C-3-8B. It currently has a GM 350/350 and Ford 9" (all stock otherwise). I'm guessing from the number of posts here that this is probably not the place to look for answers. But maybe someone on here can point me to the right direction?

    Start issue

    In the last three weeks I have had three instances where the truck would not turn over. 1. We were camping and I had a 12v cooler plugged in during the day for two days without driving it, so it was not terribly surprising that it didn't start. I was able to start it with a L-ion battery pack...

    12V power - where?!!

    I can't find a 12V power outlet (a/k/a "cigarette lighter") anywhere. Is this really possible? I bought a 12V cooler naturally assuming we could use it, but when I went to make sure it was functional, I can't find where to plug it in! Obviously, I can get a converter if I need to, but it seems...

    Wonky Time Display

    Probably a half dozen or so times (that I noticed!) the time on the EVIC and 8.4 center display has been off by some random amount when the truck first is started, anywhere from around 2 to 6 hours, but not like just to the minute. Within 1-2 minutes it resets to the correct time. ?!!!

    Whipple tuning

    I'm planning on adding a Whipple SC to my Ram. However, I'm at this point unclear as to exactly what needs to be done, tuning-wise. The Whipple site says "Model years 2015 and up require unlocked PCM's from HP Tuner" "The system also includes ... HP Tuners flash bundle..." "...HP Tuner...

    Ability to handle snow

    A few weeks ago we had a good snowstorm. When I left for work there was (guessing, but I'm pretty good with measurements, being in the wood industry for 40 years) 6-8" of snow on the road. I was driving at around 25 MPH and all of a sudden I got a "low battery" warning on the EVIC. It showed...

    Whipple shipping charges

    WhileI HAD been still considering it - IF they ever come out with a kit for the '20 - the more I hear the less impressed I am. Just went through the checkout process selecting a '19 configuration and they want $251.55 to ship their kit by GROUND to VT. Pretty sure they're in CA, USA. We ship...

    Rough Country 5" Lift for 4CAS

    I have a '20 with 4CAS. BDS has yet to come out with their 3.5 (to 4") lift so I finally broke down and ordered the RC 5" kit as I am sick and tired of the rubbing I get even with a 1-3/4" front lift (via link adjustment). 5" is more than I want, and I expect to dial it back a bit (via...

    Accent lighting options

    While my truck is somewhat distinctive already, I'd like to make it a bit more so. What I'd like to do is take the power that lights the bars above/below the headlights and route it to some accent lights in the grill. IOW, I don't want these lights on: And am looking for suggestions for a...

    4C Air Susp with gas problems?

    Not really sure what's going on. First time this happened I had two very tired, weather-cracked (more than checked) tires in the bed of my truck this spring. I heard one "psssssss" and then another and assumed that the late afternoon sun had increased the pressure in the tires to the point is...

    Longer wheel studs

    I bought and intended to install 13mm hub-centric spacers to give me clearance for 12.5" tires. However it appears the stock studs are not long enough and my mechanic can't find any that are longer. They thought they found a place that could make them custom, but turned out not to be the...

    Hub Centric Space Sources

    I am looking for a 12-13 mm spacer for my factory wheels so I can fit 12.50s. So far the only two places I've found are Motorsport Tech and US Wheel Adapter. MT says normal lead time is 15 days, but the current situation may delay things. I emailed and they couldn't give me any better of an...

    35x12.50 ?

    I have looked pretty extensively through this category and see almost no info on upsized tire/wheel combos. I would like to put 35x12.50 on +0 20x9s. Anyone done that on a non-lifted 5th gen? I had 35x11.50s on my Gen4 with the stock +19 20x9s and no issues, but I know this is a different...

    2020 SC options

    Talked to both Whipple and Edelbrock today. Whipple just says "no compatibility testing on '20s yet", Edelbrock says "check back in a couple months"... Any other (positive displacement) systems out there?

    Strange fuel management events?

    There are two types of events where it seems to me the fuel management is acting wacky on my '20 Hemi. Wondering if either are "normal". When going to idle at highways speed. For instance, cruise is set at 55 and you start "coasting" because of a downgrade. I can hear a "burp" from the exhaust...

    Sometimes it's the little things...

    One of my pet peeves about my gen 4 was that whenever you grabbed the door handle it would (loudly!) unlock all the doors and tailgate, even if they were already unlocked! I got so that I purposefully would grab the handle by the top/bottom and avoid triggering it. On my gen 5 I was doing the...

    Front USB-A amperage

    I purchased a wireless charger/holder for my iPhone, but it would not maintain a charge connection. It would connect/disconnect every few seconds. So I decided to ditch it and get a holder without charging (partly because for CarPlay you have to be plugged in physically anyways). However, when...

    Fold Flat Floor?

    Are there any options for such? Really, REALLY missing it. I have searched but not found anything for the Gen5 / DT QC.

    Replacing the R A M grill emblems

    I got new blacked out ones and can't really tell from looking at them whether I will be able to just pop the old ones off or if I will need to take the grill out to release them. TIA!

    Seatbelt Extender - greatest thing since sliced bread

    I did a search to turn off the seatbelt chime. Among the "three click" posts was a suggestion to get a rigid 3" seatbelt extender because in addition to turning off the chime it also turns off the light and evic message. Well I wasn't too worried about the light and evic - I only go beltless up...

    "What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

    In the 4th gen forum there is a thread "What DON'T you like about your RAM?". I haven't seen one here on the DT forum (maybe there is nothing anyone doesn't like yet???!). So rather than starting a random thread (well, I did, but I expect it can be closed if it's suitable), did I just miss it...

    Warning - Power Running Boards on 2020 incompatability!

    I had the dealer order power running boards to install on my 2020 Laramie. I couldn't order them installed from the factory because they "require" the E-Torque motor which I refuse. They ordered them from MOPAR, for a 2020. Installed them and were able to make them work using an external power...
