Every so often I get a low coolant light on the dash. It occurs in my (steep) driveway upon start up. After a few seconds and on level ground it goes away. I've checked the reservoir and the level looks good. First question is - does anybody else have experience with this happening? Second -...

I was looking at installing a RealTruck UnderCover Swing Case tool case on the passenger side but the website says it's not compatible with the tow package. This confused me so I called and talked to a couple people at RealTruck. Ultimately I was informed that the tie downs were the issue (still...

But I just poured the last of my first bottle of Archoil. I was very skeptical it would do anything other than lighten my wallet, but three or four tanks @ 2 ozs. per ten gallons and my DPF display hasn’t wandered off zero. I’ll probably drop to the recommended 1 oz. per ten gallons with the...

Received the tonneau cover yesterday. Of course I ran into issues and could use some input since Bak Industries won't be open until Monday. My biggest problem is the rails appear to be too long and I can't shut the tailgate. The rails can't be pushed any further forward than they are. I'm...

Approaching the two month mark of my truck being in the body shop as yet another estimated date of completion has come and gone. This time they are claiming the front camera (grill) failed calibration and has to be replaced. I've got 360° view - no lane keeping or automatic cruise control. The...

I've currently got a Curt A20 slider 5th wheel hitch in the bed of the truck and the Lippert TrailAir Road Armor pivoting head pinbox on the camper. I'm considering switching to a Gen-Y Gooseneck trailer hitch and the newest (Gen 3) Reese 20K Goosebox. I haven't found any negative reviews online...

I’m positive my intercooler is toast so I’m checking to see if there is any real value in replacing it with something like a Mishimoto unit. If so, how much should get replaced? They appear to sell all the tubes and such for the complete system.

Some months ago the Nav unit started displaying everything in metric - distance to destination, distance to next turn, etc. . I tried going through all the preference settings to change it back to miles and such with no success. A few days later it appeared to correct itself, so I just left it...

My truck came pretty well equipped from the dealer but was still missing some well known and desirable options. I've added the rear bed step, OEM bed lights and block heater cord. I got to wondering what other options were available from the factory for this truck? I started looking for a...

I understand that there are certain options (sales codes) that a dealer can add to a vehicle after manufacture. When the dealer does add a sales code will it show up as an option later when the VIN is run? For example, my truck did not come with bed lights from the factory so I added the OEM...

I was considering adding the wireless charger to my truck but see it requires a connection to the BCM. I can’t imagine what functionality that could provide to a simple charger. Any ideas?

A person can spend hours choosing the settings they want displayed and still feel like it's "not quite right". For example, I've got outside temperature and time displayed on my Evic but feel they would be better on the UConnect display. Anyway, I got to wondering what information different...

First, sorry for the shaky photo. It was a rough, hilly, winding road and my wife was leaning across the console to try to capture a transient event. Second, apparently I don't know how the driveline on these trucks works, which I should - especially before I get into ice or snow. I've already...

Today I hooked my 5er up to my Ram for the first time using the Curt Q20 slider w/pucks for the first time. I used to use an F350 dually Powerstroke with Curt A30 and above bed rails. Needless to say my little '22 Cougar 24RDS didn't even make that truck settle when I hooked up. So, just before...

My 2023 Laramie did not come with bed lights so I purchased the kit several months ago and am just now getting around to trying to put it in. The Infotainment YouTube video makes it look pretty easy but I don't think they accounted for 67 year olds! Anyway, I'm up to the point of feeding the...

My DPF gauge has shown 1/8 for "a while". I didn't check, but suspect I'm at, or close to, the 24 hour mark. No CEL. My question is: Will going on a highway run clear this? I really don't want to mess with the dealer any more than I have to.

Yesterday I got in the truck and connected my iPhone via USB as normal. I selected Apple Car Play from the menu at the bottom of the 12" screen and selected Waze from the Car Play display. Drove up to Michigan and everything worked fine. Conducted my business and got ready to leave. Waze was...

I don't think I've seen any real benefit during the trial period and am thinking it's a service I'd just as soon not pay for. Out of curiosity, how many here have kept the service or plan to keep it after their trial period ends?

Started installing bed lights today and noticed these holes in the pillar. There's an identical set on the other side, so I'm guessing they might be for mounting one of those bed extender things that flip out when the tailgate is down and flip in to create a cargo area when the tailgate is up...

I was doing some reading and came across a statement that the shorter block of the inline six diesel engine allowed for a shorter nose. This made me wonder - does a Hemi V8 equipped truck have a longer nose than it's CTD counterpart?
