    Going to put the Ram to work.

    Purchased a Travel Tailer. 2019 trailer, in fine shape. 27 Ft long, 5200 pounds empty. The truck should manage it fine, as long as I don't overdo it. Seller delivered it to my house (long story), not registered just yet, so I have not had it out on the road just yet.

    Ratio of Idle to Driving

    Happened to scroll to the hours display the other day. Interesting milestone, running time is 3000 hours. I did notice that the ratio of idle time to running time was just 20%. I would not have thought the truck idled that much. I park in a garage most every night, don't use remote start much...

    Dum-butt of the week award

    ...Goes to me for this week. We had A LOT of rain here just before Christmas, followed by a deep freeze overnight. Long story short, my truck is usually in the garage overnight, but I left it outside. Got up to single digit temps, got the garage cleared out, so I could move the truck inside and...

    Do you have anything in your hitch receiver?

    Do you have anything in your hitch receiver when you aren't towing? I had a step, but it has gotten rusty. Have to say I didn't use it much anyway, so I tossed it. Thinking I want to plug something in there, but have not chosen what. There are RAM options, but it seems like there are plenty of...

    Got out on the beach last Friday

    Got out onto the beach on Cape Cod last Friday. You need to buy a permit, and have some specific items with you - jack, flat board for support, compressor, tow strap. Need to drop tire pressure down under 20 before going out. There about 5 miles of beach you can drive on, park where you want...

    Pesky P0442 Code

    Back in February, my 2017 BigHorn 5.7 CEL came on. I had no way to check it at the time, took it to the dealer, thinking the issue may well be covered under warranty. Long story short, it was a P0442, small evap leak. They did a smoke test, found a leak at the gas cap, and replaced that. Took...

    Dead Battery

    Strange thing today - 2017 BigHorn 1500. 52000 miles. Did not use the truck yesterday, sat inside the garage. Started it this morning, seemed to turn over slow, but it started. Drove to the gym, about 15 minutes, left it there for an hour. Came out, would not start. Had cables with me, got...

    Snowy Road Performance Excellent

    Went to NH for some snowmobiling this weekend. Trip up was about 200 miles, through rain - ice - snow. Lots of traffic, had to take it easy. Snow and ice on the road, lost of people slipping and sliding for sure. Kept an easy pace, got to my destination safe and sound. Truck does not look...

    One Year Check In

    So i bought my 1500 just a little over a year ago, thought I would post some reflections and observations. First, I bought it at a local dealer (not a Ram dealer) with 23,000 miles on it. Looked at my local Ram dealer, they didn't have a truck on the lot with the options I was looking for...

    Installed a Rack

    Needed to move a 40 foot ladder to do some work at home. Its too long for the bed by a longshot, will be buying some lumber in the next few weeks, probably some 12 or 16 foot planks. Needed a rack so the ladder would not hand off too much, and didn't want to risk damaging the roof. Bought a...

    Getting past AutoPark

    I have seen several people here looking for a way around AutoPark. Yesterday, I needed to get my '17 Bighorn up on ramps. Just for the heck of it I I figure it's good to exercise the parts from time to time), I put it into 4WD LOW. When it switched, the dash lit up with a message that said...

    Heading North with the trailer for the firs time.

    Looking forward to seeing how it works out on this trip. Have pulled the trailer around town once as a shake down, everything felt great. Will be travelling about 250 miles tonight. Should work lots better than the 2006 Pacifica that I towed with for years.

    Let it Snow!!

    Added the Tonneau cover this week, finished with mods/additions I wanted to do to the 2013 Bighorn I bought in July. I am really liking this truck, it is a great upgrade from the 2006 Pacifica I drove for 12 years. Pulled out the snowmobile trailer today, washed it up, filled the tires...

    Getting the spare down?

    I have a 2017 Big Horn that I got about 6 weeks ago. Just for the heck of it, yesterday I tried to drop the spare. Wanted to get some lube in the moving parts, and see how it works, because if I get a flat, it will be dark and rainy, better to know how it works in the driveway. Manual was very...

    Recommendation for Running Boards

    New here, first post. Shopping for a truck, have my eye on a 2017 Big Horn Crew Cab. My wife is barely 5 ft tall, going to need running boards (or a ladder). Looking for something durable, on the wider side for a stable step. Recommendations?
