    Help with a mirror glass part number please

    I cracked my lower tow mirror. Might be called spotter mirror, but not sure. It is a 2023 Power Wagon with the power tow mirrors and heated glass. Looking online I am seeing two different diagram pictures of two different mirrors with the same part number and no mention of heated or not. I...

    My 2023 Hemi Power Wagon now Identifies as a Diesel Rebel.

    I am out of prepaid oil changes, so I logged into my dashboard on the Ram Trucks site and app to see what oil change coupons are available for it. The only one available for my vin was for a diesel. I looked closer and sure enough, my dashboard has changed from a Hemi Power Wagon to a...

    Tailgate warning

    I have considered adding a simple $10 magnetic tailgate light switch wired into the ignition and an indicator light in the cab to remind me when I forget to put the tailgate back up. So far I have forgot to close the tailgate only once in the last year, but had nothing in the bed to lose. So it...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    This has been a great thread and has cost me a lot of money as I see new ideas on it. This is my newest contribution to it. First I added a Morimoto Reverse Light Boost Bar that mounts over the top of the license plate. I already have a Putco light bar under the tailgate, so I wired it into...

    Got an email from RAM Services - Triggered Alert Powertrain - Malfunction Indicator Light But I have no light is this marketing BS?

    I was in East Texas on a hunting trip and tried to recreate the code. I had the ignition on talking on the phone and let it time out. I hit the ignition again to get back on and instead of a code it created a theft alarm. :oops:

    Pillar or ditch light bracket options.

    Mine are RC Spots on SDHQ mounts. No light splash or glare that I can remember noticing. They are pretty far out to the sides and there is would be impossible to get glare off those fake vents. But I am sure there are people more sensitive to such things than I would be.

    Got an email from RAM Services - Triggered Alert Powertrain - Malfunction Indicator Light But I have no light is this marketing BS?

    I am glad someone bumped this. I got the same mystery email and never had a light or problem that I knew of and nothing on my online dashboard so it self cleared on it's own. I had left the ignition on for a long time without running while I stayed in the truck talking on the phone so like...

    Trailer right turn/stop not working problem

    Yes, F81. I just figured it out. I had no fuse in F81. I have never pulled it and it would have been there before as my PUTCO light bar right turn signal was working when I installed the bar. I do know that when my truck was in for warranty work on my windshield washers and recalls, it came home...

    Trailer right turn/stop not working problem

    2023 Power Wagon. I was given a very old boat recently. The trailer wiring was sketchy and the right turn and right brake light was not working. It needed to be upgraded anyway, so without checking as to why, I rewired the trailer with new led lights and new wires for a 7 way. Right turn and...

    Dealer Screws New Truck Owners

    $175 is a lot better than what my dealer tried to charge me. For an oil change and tire rotation they tried to charge me around $250 bucks. I had given them a mopar coupon 2 for $130 up to 6 quarts and a mopar tire rotation coupon. They denied the coupon because my truck takes 7 quarts and said...

    Adding front camera

    Yea I probably could have bought the interface from naviks and shopped a camera from the 100s on amazon. I figure with the full kit I will know the camera is right for it and I had a coupon code as well so I would not have saved all that much anyway. The camera kit arrives tomorrow, but I may...

    Adding front camera

    Thank you for the time to write out that reply. I ordered the camera source kit. All I am wanting to utilize for now is the front camera. If I don't do the license plate mount I will probably mount it on the underside of my Randy Ellis light bar. There is a flat surface there on a LED bar...

    Adding front camera

    Anyone done it? And how did it work out? Either the camerasource kit or with the naviks camera interface using your own camera. https://www.camerasource.com/products/universal-front-camera-kit-for-factory-8-navigation-display-fits-2022-2023-ramr?make_filter=6023&model_filter=6132&year_filter=6294

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    It is the only source on Amazon. They sell all Factor 55 products. Bunker Industries. I'm pretty sure it is legit. Honestly I think the problem is with the holes for the lock pin and rivets being out of spec for the rivets and lock pin provided with it. Some bad ones are either getting by them...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Only the rope guard came from Amazon. So perhaps, or I also wonder if it could be a source change on the rivets or even outsourcing the rope guard from China after Warn purchased Factor 55. I know the Warn VR line is sourced in China. The aluminum was so soft with the rivets, I could see the...

    Front camera options

    There is this one, but it is pricey. I would like to hear from someone who has installed and used it. Too expensive for me to be a guinea pig to try it...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Today I changed to a Factor 55 Ultrahook and rope guard. My main reason for wanting it was to be able to use the rope guard to give some protection to the connection point of the synthetic rope from UV light. And from mud and dirt. It will do that and looks ok, but if I had it to do over I would...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Added the LED bulb to finish the project. I went with green to be different. Much better and much brighter. Since I had a power source to tap into already, it was only about a $20 project total off amazon. Would have been another $20 if I had used a power adapter inline from the back of the dash...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Added the missing lower glove box light to my 2023 Power Wagon today. The used connector I got off ebay did not work out. It felt like it was damaging the pins in the light assembly when I tried to push it in. The light assemblies are cheap. A new connector is not. So instead I soldered wires to...
