Was the update Sirius XM software that only the dealer could do as opposed to us owners contacting SiriusXM to have them refresh or update their software?

I have a 2024 RAM 2500 12" UConnect. On occasion the screen freezes and a very loud constant noise happens. After ~15 seconds the noise stops, screen goes black, loading message appears, then Accept message appears. I tap Accept then screen and functions become operable. This condition is random...

According to RAM Tech Support yes it does. Call them like I did.

The CCC on my 2024 RAM 2500 Laramie Night Edition is 2119lbs. I called RAM tech support. ANYTHING I put in my truck or attached to it counts towards the 2119lbs CCC. Myself, my wife, my dog and 31 gallons of diesel weight 638lbs. That leaves 1481lbs of "stuff" I can load into the truck or...

The 3131 is because it's a gasser. The 1500's do have that higher CCC.

What I mean is balancing the load. More weight to the rear of the trailer or 5th wheel means less weight on the tongue or pin. Also balancing means even distribution of weight on the axles. When I currently put 260lbs of weight on the bumper of my current TT, I'm taking weight off the hitch, and...

I'm very conservative when it comes to things like we are discussing. I've spoken with RAM 2500 owners who are towing 37-41ft long 5th wheels who say they tow without a problem. I have a friend who has tow his 37' fiver all over the country without any issues. These folks have no clue about...

I bought my 2024 RAM 2500 Laramie Night Edition last December 28th. $15,800 off sticker price. What I failed to research, RAM 2500's have a very low Cargo Carrying Capacity. Mine is 2119 lbs. Try to find a decent size 5th wheel with a hitch/pin weight under 1500 lbs. Myself, wife, 98lb dog and a...

My focus was on CCC, i.e. payload capacity not GVWR.

If you are going to tow a TT or 5th wheel I recommend buying an F250 or Chevy 2500. I own a 2024 RAM 2500 Laramie Night Edition. My Cargo Carrying Capacity is 2119lbs. Most all 5th wheels that are around 25-30' have a hitch/pin weight of 2000lbs or over. That means my wife, dog and I plus fuel...

Doesn't the ARB get very hot? Is the mounting bracket something you made?

2024 RAM 2500 Laramie. Purchased December 28, 2023 at a dealer in Las Vegas, NV. MSRP $96,400. Negotiated with dealer $15,800 off MSRP. I did get Kelly BB on my trade, which was a 2022 RAM Big Horn. I wasn't looking for a new truck, however I couldn't pass up the deal.

I believe ClawSS is right on with his comments about insurance company and legal liability. I can envision someone with a tinted windshield hitting a person at night. Maybe the person ran in front of the truck, Maybe the person drove their bicycle/motorcycle into traffic or drove their car in...

What email should I use? I don't have Facebook, Instagram, etc. Dana

Thank you rampster. I'll look through the 5 pages of responses. Seems I'm not alone with the problem.
