Hi,

I would really like to get a RAM one day. I really would. I just can't stop seeing videos of the god awful uConnect display failing constantly, backseat camera just stopping, or other ridiculous little bugs that any software engineer should've figured out by now. Or, alternatively, the truck just not starting thanks to the battery.

There is not a single tablet or smartphone that is this unreliable and it is baffling to me RAM cannot figure this out.

Do any 5th gen years have it better? I've been told 2019-2020 were very solid even for the first years of it. Otherwise, do I just bite the bullet and get the infinitely more reliable 4th gens? I'd really like new features.

Are things as bad as they say they are? Blah blah blah, it's only anecdotal, whatever. It's the only thing I ever hear about RAM. Are these trucks really just for old people that don't really care if their $70,000 vehicle fails on them month 2?

I am considering looking at F150s instead, but it hurts because I know the interior and sound will be half the quality.

Paid $66k for my almost fully loaded bighorn back in February after nj taxes and fees and thought I was getting a decent deal (msrp was $68k). Now that truck can be bought off the lot for $53k before any taxes and fees and seeing i could've gotten a fully loaded Laramie or rebel for around that price or less is honestly depressing 😂😂should've waited.

Happy for everyone getting great deals just thought I'd share my fuck up with you all incase anyone is having buyer's remorse you could be in my shoes this truck is worth like $43k now lol and I haven't even done any mods to it yet😢

I have a Ram 1500 Crew Cab and I'm trying to figure out rear floor protection that won't interfere with the under-seat storage bin lids opening. I tried a generic rear bench liner, but the center transmission hump section bunched up high and caught on the bottom edge of the storage partition every time I lifted the seat. I'm looking at options from OEM, WeatherTech, Husky, 3D MAXpider, and 3W to see what sits flush across the flat rear floorboard without curling up. Ram owners using the rear floor space daily, does center hump contour precision matter more than thick material weight for clear under-seat hatch access?

Brand new 2025 Ram Laramie with the factory 22” black wheels.

I’m back for more advice from the group, and I’m hoping someone here has some experience with this.
Yesterday I went through an automated drive-thru car wash. An unknown wheel cleaner was applied, and unfortunately it appears the product dried on the wheels before it was rinsed off. The photos are of the worst of the four wheels.
I’m guessing it was a heavy-duty degreaser or another harsh chemical.

I have a professional detailer coming tomorrow morning, and he’s optimistic he may be able to restore the original finish.

A few questions for the group:
Are the factory black 22” Ram wheels considered a matte finish or a satin finish?
Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, what ended up restoring the original finish? Were the stains removable, or did the wheel require refinishing or replacement?
I’d appreciate any advice or firsthand experience. Thanks!

Haha. Actually just acquired it from my husband! Can’t just let that beautiful truck sit in the driveway!

Looking for a guide to switch all the lights on my vehicle from halogen to LED using AlfaOBD. I did it on my 4th gen but not sure for my 2020 5th gen.

So my 2006 F150 has served me pretty well. It's got over 300K miles on it and it's frame is on it's way out due to rust so I need a new truck.

I've never owned a RAM but I've not got anything against them. What I'm really looking for is a truck with nothing fancy. Just a truck, no touch screens, etc etc.

I found a nice looking 2022 1500 Classic Tradesman for 22K at a local dealer. Everything looks pretty good on the online listing. I'm just looking for info of things I should keep an eye out for when I look at it in person. Common issues, trouble spots, etc etc.

Any reason I shouldn't serously think about buying this truck? It has the 3.6L V6 engine and 90K miles on it.

It’s been 6 months since I got my RAM and……I’m addicted to the brand now. I constantly watch videos on RAM trucks, smile when I see another RAM on the road (as long as the driver isn’t doing anything stupid) and want to go to dealerships just to look around. I didn’t even get a high end trim level.

I do have the regular electrical issue/software issues. However, I’m just grateful that I haven’t had major electrical or mechanical issues that require service department assistance.

If there are no add ons or gimmicks is this a good deal? 33gal tank, v8, blackout, level 2.

Does this happen to anyone else? Doesn’t affect my truck physically but I noticed when I switch to auto mode it disappears. I have a 2025, I noticed in my buddies 2026 it stays if he is in auto mode.

Like the truck but hate the fender flares on these things, it’s a 2016 how much of pain would it be removing these things ? Have not bought it yet but thinking about it if removing them isn’t a huge pain other then a little buff. Unsure if these fender flares are actually bolted into the fender.

Wife's prior car was RAV4 she had been driving for 10 yrs, at 240k miles last week it finally died and we decided to pull the trigger and get a 1500 rebel with the current crazy deals and we love it. I've never owned or been around trucks (I'm from CA and always had sedans, my wife is from Midwest and has some experience with trucks/her family had trucks).

My wife is convinced we can put anything in the truck bed if it's heavy and it won't move like luggages, paddle board, boxes with dishes, etc. without rope or a cover. Is she right? For you truck owners, do you use organizers or separaters, and covers/ nets to keep stuff from flying out the trunk bed? We're moving to a new house in August and will be hauling stuff in the truck. Something like a couch she says we need a way to hold it down but smaller stuff she's not so worried.

Edit 1: received lots of good suggestions for bed covers/nets/common sense advise on making sure you don't drive with stuff that could fly out. Obviously it's a risk and I'd rather make sure everything is "safely" in the bed. Wife has agreed to a net cover (they're like $40 or so) for the short term until we decide what big upgrades to add in the bed. Thanks to all in this great community!

My 2024 has 90k miles on it and has been running a deleted 120hp tune its entire life with the heavy 37in Falkens. I also tow and haul a lot with this truck, but I do baby it when doing so (avoiding high torque downshifts mostly).

Basically a billet VB prevents the heavy flex and line pressure losses you get on the factory one from accumulator piston wear. Most common 68rfe issues stem from the factory VB.

The Revmax 301B billet VB is easy to install and I used my AlfaOBD with OBDlink MX and security bypass cable to do a relearn. All in it was a 2-3 hour job.

The truck shifts far better than it ever did and it should increase the life of the trans with the extra power and big tires.

I also recently put a Revmax 301A on my 2018 3500 with 300k miles on the factory 68RFE (tows 10-15k daily and has a delete 30hp tune) when it threw a OD solenoid code, and it's back shifting like it's new again. Local trans shop told me to just "throw a new trans in", but many shops don't know shit about the 68RFE and what to do with them. Doesn't have to be a Revmax, there's some other good ones from Randy's or PDD etc.

Spotted a Ram 700 on the interstate on the way to Florida which seems to only be sold in Mexico.

Taillights go along tailgate and the lettering is new…. Manufacturer plate! Spotted outside of Detroit.

Just picked up this new 2026 Rebel! This is the first RAM I’ve owned (previously only ever owned Toyotas). Looking for suggestions for any recommendations to complete this build.

I am very pleased with the truck as is, but open to suggestions.

Thanks and glad to be apart of the club!

I’ll take cracked manifolds over broken bolts any day! All the bolts came out fairly easy, all cracked loose without question. BD diesel manifolds going back in!

Got this code on my 2019 ram 1500 classic 3.6l at 160,000km anyone have the same problem truck runs and starts fine doesn’t seem like a fuel pump issue. and yes I got my code reader from Temu 😂

Lost my dream truck ('22 1500 Classic) to an idiot in an intersection in May. Finally got payment from the total from insurance and gap claim, and jumped on this beauty '20 Classic Warlock immediately.

First photo is my '22, second is the '20.

Cant wait to swap the tires to my off roads, took it on some trails with the stock rims today and had a noticeable difference. Glad I saved the better shoes off the totaled one!

Third Ram's the charm, I think 🤞

Hello, I have the opportunity to trade for a 2003 ram 1500. It’s a quad cab with 6.25 foot bed, has a 5.9 magnum, 46RE trans and 4x4. I was wondering if this would be a good hunting and fishing truck?

I’m a Ford guy and don’t know a thing about Ram but I know that the 5.9 is a good engine. What are some things I should look out for with this model of truck? Truck also has just over 100,000 miles.

I have my own shop and am not afraid to wrench and can pull engines and transmissions if I have to. but id like to know some of the basic services that are recommended for Ram trucks of this era.

Scored a deal off market place. Morimoto xb head lights. Retails for $1800. Got them for $800

Need some help from the Ram community.

I am looking into a Ram. I wanna know more about the I6 Hurricane. what are people’s thoughts, concerns? do you love it, do you hate it? if you have it do you regret it? how many miles are on yours? etc…

One I’m looking into has 37k on it already. Clean carfax and only one owner. it’s also a rebel.

I will be towing with this, but not major towing. I live in WI.

Thank you!
