    Steering wheel controls stop working

    Thanks for the writeup, will be pretty interesting to see if this solves more instances of this problem. When you say "left side steering wheel switch" do you mean the whole switch cluster, or a specific switch?

    New-to-us 2019

    Congrats on the new ride! I think you'll be really happy with the upgrade in towing vs. your F150.

    2019 Ram 2500 6.4 squeal at start up / Chirping Noise - merged threads

    Army19kilo - If you read more toward the beginning of this thread, or several other threads on the 6.4 chirp issue, you'll find that it isn't related to the normal mechanical stuff we'd check when hearing this noise. It is a "feature" of many/most 6.4's, new or otherwise. Some just do it when...

    Steering wheel controls stop working

    The problem with this particular problem is multiple people have had multiple fixes that seem to work, but no universal fix. So in my case I had a switch replaced (Osse I feel your pain with that one) that did nothing, a clock spring replaced that did nothing, then a 2nd clock spring that fixed...

    New 2027 or keep my current 2020?

    I wished I'd extended my warranty, missed the window on it. And on the modern highly electronic vehicles with expensive interior electronics I tend to buy max warranties. Having said that ... that price for 2/24 seems steep. Listening to you describe your finances, I think you can afford any...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    Well I'm not referring to towing mpg, in my mind all bets are off when towing heavy with a gas engine. For general driving I get 13-14 mpg per display in mixed driving, and the couple of times I checked it early on the display mpg was around 1/2 to 3/4 mile optimistic. On the highway I can get...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    Totally agree. In fact I can't come up with a reason to have 3.73's. With the 8 speed the highway rpm with 4.10's is very reasonable and in every way they offer an advantage. I know someone will say the 3.73 get better mpg but seriously, these 6.4's are so bad on gas that the half mile per...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    Good advice, I tried PB Blaster but it stung like all hell. :D:D:D

    Towing with new 6.4L

    I haven't been using my bed step much because it hurts my knee more to extend and contract it, it is really stiff even though I've tried pressure washing and then white grease on the hinge points. I love it in theory just wished it moved easier.

    Happy looking pups! Why the step ladder?

    Call Me Crazy

    Gas or diesel? There's been many times I wish I had a mega cab. Then when plowing or parking I remember that part of the reason I chose my Ram is it was quite a bit shorter than GM or Ford 2500's.

    SHORT TRIPPING WITH NEW 2025 6.7 EMISSIONS SYSTEM

    I get it that, if he is correct, sellers will be able to market the products without risk of prosecution. But how does that help someone in a state that needs to pass emissions for inspection? Here in NH they have gotten rid of inspections so it wouldn't be an issue (for now anyway) but in...

    Cheapest option to soften the ride?

    Look for a gel or memory foam pad to put under your butt. I know this isn't a truck ride softening mod, but you might be surprised how much relief a soft cushioning seat pad would provide.

    2025 Ram 5500 Parked! Update

    Oh my ..... What part in the entire world today can't be shipped in within 3 days max? This is maddening and it's not me that's waiting for the truck.

    2025 Ram 5500 Parked! Update

    I think the following ... if someone above the dealer with a bit of clout decided to fix this, there HAS to be a sensor available somewhere that could be overnite shipped in, installed the next day, and a call to Mr. HDFarmer saying "sorry for your trouble, your truck is fixed and ready to be...
