    Etorque not shutting down

    It won’t shut off if the climate control senses it needs the engine running to maintain cabin temperature (A/C compressor running or heater coil water flow), or you have tow/haul engaged, or if you’re in manual shift mode.

    Pull the switch panel out of the driver’s and check the wiring connections where they plug into the switch. Had a 03 with the same problems. Contacts were burnt. Was able to clean them up and all worked fine, until they didn’t, and had to repeat the procedure. Cleaned them 3-4 times before...

    Key FOB - Proximity?

    A couple years ago when I had my 19 1500; parked in a grocery store lot, came out w/grocerys +\- 20 minutes later. FOB was dead, or so it seemed, wouldn’t unlock the doors, wouldn’t start even when holding it on the start button. Two other vehicles next to me, both GM products, had the same...

    Finally figured to disable the slam with the door open

    Many many moons ago: we had a “62” Chevy C10. Used to put it in granny, jump out , leave the door open and walk along side of it loading small round bales of hay. Jump back in to turn around at the end of the field, jump back out and keep walking along loading hay till I couldn’t throw it any...

    Opinion on 2019

    I gave a 19 to my daughter & S-I-L. (bought myself a 22) the only issue has been warped manifolds. That’s a very common issue. Theirs fell under warranty. Manifolds are covered under the 60k 60 month drive train warranty so check the “in service date” if they haven’t already been replaced...

    Good buy or not?

    Never would buy used sight unseen. Have made a deal for a new one that way. But had the option of backing out, in writing, when I went to pick it up.

    2022 Ram 1500 apple car play??

    I have a iPhone 15. I have found the issue is more related to the phone. Rebooting my phone fixed all issues I was having.

    2019 Ram 5th Gen Stereo Problem

    Had this happen twice to my 22 Laram12” screen. Discovered it had to do w/my iPhone 15. Disabled CarPlay on my phone and all speakers started working. So I did a hard reboot on my phone and it fixed the problem.

    Center console 115v Outlet & Inverter Delete. I have a 2022 Laramie, it has a -$40 factory delete on the window sticker.

    I have a 22 Laramie w/the same delete. The harness is not there. When I bought my truck the inverter and outlets were available, the harness has been elusive though. If someone knows the part number for the harness and has a schematic of where it plugs in and how it’s routed I’d very much...

    Gas Cap Alert Won't Go Off

    A cracked fuel filler hose will give the same warning.

    Towing without a towing package

    As stated above; brake controller of some type (EOM is best) and mirror extensions should get you set up to go.

    Brand new truck only charging at 13.1v!?

    My 22 Laramie sits right on 13.1v It’s been like that for 25k now so I’m thinking it’s normal.

    WINDSHIELD DAMAGE

    Is there construction in the area of your daily route creating a more than usual number of trucks hauling aggregate or concrete? After losing a windshield to a rock, I’ve changed my daily route to work to avoid just this scenario.

    Fifth Wheels By Keystone For 1500

    Snickering as I read this thread. I caught up to and followed a 5th wheel as we exited the interstate the other day. Followed him another mile on a two lane road till he signaled to turn off into a neighborhood. To my surprise he was towing what had to be a 30+ft 5th wheel with an F150. It was...

    GM driver, looking at new Ram 1500, should I?

    I’ve had three 5.7s. 2017, 19, 22. I’ve passed the 17 & 19 down to my kids. I’m still driving the 22. The trucks have 85k, 70k & 25k on them respectively. Only issue with any of them has been cracked manifolds on the 19 (very common) which was a warrantied repair. All three are commuter...

    Brake Hold / Auto Brake Feature

    On Ram trucks it’s called “Hill Assist”. It will hold the brakes to keep the truck from rolling backwards when at a stop on an incline.

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    Unfortunately, the real number is on the door pillar. If you’ve found a truck you’re interested in online; I’d call the dealership, tell the sales rep what your intentions and needs are and ask them to text you a pic of the door sticker with the weights on it. They’ll cooperate if they think...

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    Yup, it sure does!

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    Be sure to check the payload of the truck before buying. Payload varies on each truck. I have a 22 Laramie, Crew cab w/5.7 & 392 gears. My payload is listed at 1508lbs. Not sure I could ever hitch onto any trailer weighing close to 11,000lbs. I’m looking at a travel trailer w/a 6,995lbs gvwr...

    Should You Use Nitrogen in Your truck Tires?

    I’ve had nothing but grief with the tpms with nitro filled tires. Bought 3 vehicles from the same dealer over the past few years. They do the nitro fill in everything they sell. First vehicle I fought the tpms for weeks as the temps went from the 100’s here in TX to the mild temps of fall...

    Uconnect fees

    I use my phone exclusively for nav. Don’t see any reason to use anything else. Certainly wouldn’t pay for Uconnect service for navigation.

    Looking at 5th gen trucks, trading my 2014, questions

    Does the Rebel have the “slide/recline rear seat? If not, I’m not sure you’re gaining much in terms of rear seat comfort for the grandparents. Had a 2017 and 2019 Lonestar/Bighorn with the fixed seats. A little more legroom in the 19 but the seat back was still too upright for me. Currently in...

    TPMS Sensor Training

    Ummm, mine will change while sitting still if I’m adjusting the pressure, up or down, and the ignition is on. But, would say that taking a drive after adjustments seems to get more accurate readings.
