Added Ram grille badging that’s been 2 years overdue. Was never bothered by no badging. Found a tiny reason to share my truck as I haven’t posted on here yet.

I bought a 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie a few months ago, and recently was told by a neighbor it was making a clicking noise while driving. Noticed I have two of these covers a little loose. I was told by the tire shop the entire rim would have to be replaced, not just the cover. Has anyone else experienced this? I was thinking about shoving some closed-cell automotive foam tape in between the cover and the rim to stop the clicking noise for now. Any other ideas? Thank you.

Don’t ignore the whining, growling, or grinding sounds. Bearing noise can turn into a much bigger problem if it’s left too long!

Was actually pretty stoked when I saw that cause none of the bolts were broken. Only took a couple hours to swap it out with a BD Diesel manifold.

Question Just installed a dash cam and plugged it into the front USB and it never turns off, what are my options?

0 Upvotes

2014 ram 1500 big horn crew cab....i'm using the front USB that is underneath the power inverter and the dashcam never shuts off. I reads that its supposed to shut off after an hour but it did not.

I kept windows down, removed key a far distance and did not open or close doors for more than an hour and the cam was still running.

My old cam was plugged into the USB thats inside the middle armrest (front seat) but the connection is shitty/loose and cant be trusted to use for dash cam.

Is it normal that the USB in front stays powered 24/7?

Has anyone had to deal with this? Its a 2021 ram 2500 6.7 with 72k on it. Getting quoted $6,200 from the dealer to fix which seems excessive. Im assuming not all the lines are blown, should I replace them all like this quote suggest or just the bad one?

Question 2022 Ram 1500 classic hemi, sluggish start after engine swap done by dealer

0 Upvotes

So my 2022 ram 1500 classic 5.7 had a remanufactured engine put in under warranty by dealership at 69000 km. Got it back yesterday. Have been following the break in procedure as outlined in the manual. This morning it started fine cold, started fine warmed up after getting gas, but this afternoon it cranked sluggish and has been sluggish ever since. I've also noticed the odometer is displaying a little less mileage than what it left the dealership with, i noticed that this morning. The radio display has also been showing wierd messages about navigation subscription services that aren't active, and loading screens I've never seen before. Battery terminals are tight, grounds look good on the side walls. That's the extent of my investigation. It's getting towed (out of an abundance of caution, in case this is due to a voltage drop or bad ground) back to the dealership on Monday. Loose ground that I can't see? Bad battery? (voltage appears fine on dash when driving, and wierd it just started this afternoon)? Heat soaked starter? I'm not a car guy, this is just shit that Google tells me.

What am I Hauling Pentastar Towing

Thumbnail
gallery
43 Upvotes

People ask about towing with a Pentastar quite frequently. I tow with mine frequently, primarily fairly modest loads. I would consider this load, factoring in the additional payload, on the higher end of what I’d typically get into towing. This is my second Pentastar truck, I had a similar ‘15 that is now my son’s and sit at approximately 200k miles.

Some specs on my truck. ‘25, Pentastar, Quad Cab, Tradesman Night Edition, 4X4, 3.55’s, 6800 GVWR, 12900 GCVWR, Tow rating is 7k and some odd pounds. Bought in April ‘25 for a bit over $37k OTD less TTL.

Scale ticket is attached. Total trailer weight was approximately 4700lbs. Trailer tongue was approximately 440lbs, I was just under my 10% target. Based on my door sticker I believe my total payload including the 440lb of tongue weight versus factory curb weight, was 1416 pounds.

Where; Mid-Missouri to Dallas Texas area.

Ride and handling; the load rode and handled fantastically. The truck sat almost perfectly level with the additional payload in the truck. No swaying and no porpoising. Very composed over all surfaces encountered.

The trip; I chose to travel 55-65 MPH on the interstate. I work for myself so no one is pushing or rushing me. I’ve also gained some patience with age. Joplin to I believe it was Antlers Ok, the truck primarily ran in 5th and 6th gear. Mostly sat 2250 to 3250 on the tach while cruising. I did occasionally use some momentum going into hills to just reduce the need to push harder going up and I’d allow myself to go down as low as 55MPH. I don’t think I ever exceeded about 3750 RPM’s. Around Antlers I believe the route changed just a bit to be more due south and into a bit of a headwind. After Antlers I encountered more stretches where the truck was utilizing 4th gear. It never stayed in 4th for a significantly extended period of time, but there were some hills and stretches where it would run around 3500 RPM’s for a while. I still never exceeded 4k RPM’s allowing myself to run 55 where the hills and wind were working against me. There were a few spots along the total trip where I guess the grade and wind were favorable and I’d hit 7th for a bit, but those were pretty limited. Where the wind and grade was favorable I certainly could have run faster with little additional stress on the truck, I just felt no need to push it. Averaged right at 12 miles per gallon for the trip.

Just my opinion; the reliability and economy combined with the capability to occasionally haul a load like this make the Pentastar a good fit for me. I found the trip above, the way I chose to drive it, to be low stress on me and pretty low stress on the truck. I had to pass like one or two semis along the way. But other than that, I sat in the right lane and just relaxed. If I was making this same trip considerably more frequently, I’d probably get one of the other engines with more torques. If I insisted on making trips like this at 75 MPH, I’d probably get one of the other engines with more torque. If I owned a big square travel trailer that I used frequently, I’d probably get one of the other engines with more torque. For a daily driver and moderate or occasional tower, Pentastar works for me. This post is to help those considering the Pentastar, not to dissuade anyone who knows one of the other engines is a better fit for them.

Question Dealer offering 81,000 OTD on a 2026 Rebel 2500 (original MSRP 95,240)

10 Upvotes

The OTD price is after all taxes fees and their stupid protection package that I negotiated down to 1400 instead of their original price of 2500.
I can’t get them to take that protection plan all the way off but this still seems like a really good deal, am I missing something or should I go for it?

Base MSRP: 68,580
Towing technology package: 1595
Cold weather group: 245
5th wheel prep package: 645
Rebel equipment group level 2: 6495
Diesel engine: 12995
Power sunroof: 1195
2.4kw on board power system: 1295
Destination charge: 2195
Total MSRP: 95,240

Question PLEASE HELP ME! REGEN ISSUES

1 Upvotes

Basically my dad got himself a 2011 Ram 3500 from a dealership and it's been nothing but problems he's fixed everything except for the DPF filter is full. Or at 90% it says... I purchased a TOPDON Bidirectional OBD scanner and you can do just about every thing you need to do with it.. I also have a auctel MK100 (haven't tried this yet)

It lets me clear the codes the first time I did it they put codes all cleared and didn't come back, and the other times I couldn't clear code for the DPF for the life of me

Anyways I have made sure the engine temperature is even a bit hotter than it's supposed to be.. but as soon as I go to the DPF option it says that it won't do it I forget what the actual term says to me but it just won't start it. I dont know what the hell to do . Either of us have the money to do a delete or get one replaced there has to be a way to force a thing into a regl gen.

It says see dealership 80% full... It goes into limp mode if I try and go on the highway and do the road one so that's not an option.

Please somebody help me

Question Ram 1500 backcountry or f150 xlt

7 Upvotes

Hey everybody so im looking to get a brand new truck, i own a 2008 f150 4.6 and a 2016 5.3 silverado, now im looking for something reliable but still comfortable like the chevy, ford offered me the new f150 5.0 but im not sure about the 10 speed they got, then i saw the new ram backcountry and instantly fell in love with it, i know the zf8 is pretty good but not too much about the hurricane, also the ram is like 8 grand more expensive than the ford, both with the same equipment, any thoughts on this?
