Eco Mode Not Working
Thanks for feedback, i don’t mind it not working so unless there is some mechanical reason to have it engaged every so often, i don't see any need to have it operational.- Deercamp

Eco Mode Not Working
My 2024 1500 Bighorn V-6 (2,300 mile) does not shut down when at a stoplight. Not that i want it to, as my intuition is that it is an EPA add on, not an enhancement to the vehicle’s optimum operation. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with a lot of traffic lights. If i do, I disable the system...- Deercamp

Think I might crash
Note to OP & rookies “Good judgement comes from bad experiences and a lot of those come from bad judgement.” Sincerely hope you and your passengers or pets never have a bad experience in your Ram at 80+ mph. And yes, been there & done that. I’m a survivor of some poor judgement. Also know that...- Deercamp

A former colleague residing near SW border, has had a to deal with thieves who cross border and scout neighborhoods for open garage doors or unattended lawn equipment.

Mix the mid grade yourself and save?
Used to almost exclusively buy regular gas at a nearby Gulf station for my 2004 GMC Sierra v8 which called for regular grade fuel. In less than 60,000 miles i replaced 3 oxygen sensors. (The v8 actually had 4 oxygen sensors.) While Gulf is a name brand fuel in my area, it is not a top tier...- Deercamp

Mix the mid grade yourself and save?
While my v-6 uses regular, based on various trusted sources, i use the mid grade for small engines - chain saws, lawn tractors, lawn mowers, out board motors, wood splitter, weed wacker, leaf blower. In my town, my go to station is Mobil, a top tier gasoline that has the detergent additives...- Deercamp

Key FOB - Proximity?
Despite ordering the Level B Equipment Group package ($3,845), my Bighorn 1500 fob requires pushing the unlock button. When the salesman did a follow up call to see how i liked the truck i mentioned this and he said that the feature is not available on the model i ordered. Also, i had stored...- Deercamp

4x4 with no tow hooks?
Agree with Kart 20. Among the various tasks mentioned in this thread, I’ve also used tow hooks for towing a large and very dead garden tractor about 40 yards uphill to my shed (could never have pushed it by hand), raised a medium sized moose onto a game poll, dragged a 8’by 12’ shed on rollers...- Deercamp

Which mud flaps
I installed Rokblokz flaps several weeks ago. No drilling, no wheel removal. Comes in regular size which affords great protection for my 1500, and an XL if you go wider than stock size tires. Price would be about $160 for your truck. (Made in USA). Front flaps 8 1/4” & rear flaps 10” above... -
4x4 with no tow hooks?
Agree, tow hook(s) should be standard on a 4x4 truck but priorities and needs of contemporary consumers have indeed changed. Rather than pay the dealer to add tow hooks i took the cheaper route and added a Reese tow loop to the trailer hitch. Like a truck’s jack, a tow hook is useless until...- Deercamp
