    Spare key

    Anybody have a ballpark figure for a spare key fob and getting it programmed? Only had the one key fob I got with the truck, and due to a rather embarrassing incident yesterday, realize I should really get a spare. Let's just say my truck is going to spend a couple extra days at the airport...

    Front and rear axle and transfer case oil change

    Those had to be some of the easiest jobs ever. I started with 5 quarts of Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil, and 2 quarts of Ravenol BW44 which I got from Blauparts. The fill and drain plugs are easy to get to. FYI, you'll need an 8 mm hex socket, a 14 mm hex socket, and a 3/8" socket wrench with an...

    Same fuel tank issue?

    So I've been seeing various fuel tank threads about filling problems, but most of them seem to be that the faulty vent makes it shut off well before it's full, and you have to fill it slowly to overcome that. Mine has started something where it fills, but when it shuts off it's just a hair...

    Radio controls unresponsive for several seconds

    This seems strange. If I had the radio turned up a bit the last time I drove and I want to turn it down, it seems I have to wait several seconds after starting the truck to have any control over the radio. I can't even turn the radio off, and even while it's displaying the warning about not...

    Cylinder deactivation

    I'm curious. My scan tool showed a data monitor for cylinder deactivation. At idle it was obviously not deactivating any cylinders. I'm not curious enough to try leaving it connected while driving to see if it ever changes, but does the 3.6 actually do cylinder deactivation?

    How hot is too hot?

    First camping trip with our 3200 pound travel trailer and the RAM. Watched the gauge summary since it shows coolant, oil, and transmission temperature. Was a little surprised to see coolant temperature creeping up around 230 before it would start dropping. Seems to me I read recently that...

    Where do you put an aftermarket brake controller?

    I stuck the brake controller to the underside of the dash on the last couple vehicles, using heavy duty velcro. Apparently the texture of the plastic panel on the Ram doesn't work with adhesive on various types of velcro, it won't stay put. Also, the wife doesn't want it on the panel under the...

    Stowing the funnel

    Went to check my spare tire yesterday, and found the little plastic funnel in with the lug wrench and tools. Now that I know it's for putting gas in the capless fuel filler in case I need to use a jerry can, is it supposed to stow in the lug wrench bag or just float around free? It has two...

    Don't forget to check your spare tire!

    Probably goes without saying, but since the compact spares that are so commonly used aren't always easy to get to, be sure to check them before you need them. One of my colleagues had a blowout at lunch, and as he was telling us about it I noticed his compact spare looked mighty soft. I...

    Do I have the right tow rating?

    I'm a little confused by the sticky at the top. I found the links to the towing capacities (notably missing from the owner's manual), but I'm confused by the "DT" and "DS". I just bought a 2021 RAM 1500 Big Horn Quad Cab, 4x4, 3.6 ETorque, and from the VIN lookups I've found, it has the 3.21...

    New here

    Hello, name's Dave. My wife's Equinox met an unfortunate demise, but she suggested we look at getting a truck to tow our new travel trailer. I had towed it a few times with my Honda Pilot, and while it did OK, it had to work at it on hills. Looked around at what was available, and we found a...
