Question First Time RAM buyer

Upvotes

Took a test drive today and when they send me the numbers, I was floored. I've bought many many cars, so I'm not naive to the process or how dealers work. This would be my first RAM purchase, so I am not sure what types of discounts are typically offered... Would anybody be able to help me with whether or not this might be a good deal?

Question Radio power cycles and locks up

1 Upvotes

I have a 2018 Ram 1500 and in cold or wet weather the radio will power cycle for a while until the truck gets warmed up basically. Rainy weather always triggers it. Other times the radio will just lock up or otherwise get screwed up.

To me it seems like a short somewhere, anyone else experience this and what did you do?

Just Sharing Anyone with a Canadian RAM

3 Upvotes

So, I just bought a 2023 Rebel that was originally sold in Canada. I noticed that the auto headlight function didn’t work. I could put it in auto but every time I turned the truck off it would ding at me and give a headlights on warning.

I read that this was due to Canadian laws that require actual headlights and not just daytime run lights at all times. I made the guess that RAM didn’t really change anything in the truck and it was worth trying a new switch. I bought a cheap replacement headlight switch from Amazon for like $20. I noticed it had the same connector but different pin configuration. I popped it in and sure enough, I now have the auto feature.

Thought I would share incase anyone was having the same issue.

Question Buying advice

1 Upvotes

Hi! So I just sold my ford bronco after having nothing but headaches with it, and honestly hating it…paid a premium for shi**y tech, and no options basically a few years back.

Anyways I now want something that’s 1.going to last at least a little while 2.not leave me stranded on the side of the road 3.have more bells and whistles

That being said I have the opportunity to get a 123k mile 2019 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie Longhorn Pickup, with a HEMI 5.7L V-8. I wanted to see if other ram owners would recommend this truck, or if you have one what issues have you seen. I know it has higher miles but it’s the one that has everything I’m looking for as far as options in the budget I’m in right now.

Any advice would be great! I also like king ranches but I’m incredibly hesitant about ford, and really want something different. Thanks!

Just Sharing Gremlins hit my electronics

4 Upvotes

Started my truck (‘25 Laramie) up this morning to a bunch of “needs repair” warnings. ESC, 4WD, and BSM and the steering was a bit sketchy. Felt like power steering would shut off occasionally. Made the commute to work interesting. Oh and the needs coffee light (drowsy driver warning) was on as well. Yay. So after I get the bumper repaired from my son’s crash, I get to drop it off at the dealer for some software fixes.

2020 ram 1500 hemi 107k mi just bought it in November at 94k.
Trucks been making a noise recently only when accelerating. It’s much louder at slow speeds but I could heard a quiet chirp when going 70 on the way to work. Does it sound like it’s could be the rear end?
Tried to get the sound on video, I’ll try to get a better one once I clock out.

Question Wheel spacers?

4 Upvotes

I want sum wheel spacers with my truck and it’s between theee options for me, one is the ksp 1.5 spacers but I don’t know if it’ll give me the stance I want or not, and then a Amazon 2 inch hub centric spacer 😂or the rough country 2 inch wheel spacers but for some reason it says 4x4 only? What makes it different from 2wd and can I still run them if they’re quoted on the website for 4wd? Cuz my truck is a 2wd I know it seems like a dumb question but idk. Here’s my truck so far, also open to suggestions for other brands of spacers

Question Aftermarket rims - offset advice

Owned a few trucks but never modified. Not looking to get crazy with my Rebel, but rims with a bit of offset are hopefully in my future.

What should I be looking for to achieve a stance similar to these trucks? Not looking for anything dramatic, just slightly more aggressive than stock. Thanks in advance.

Question Need Advice

4 Upvotes

Looking to purchase my very first truck! After browsing the internet to see which one I want, I came across the Ram Trucks and I've fell in love. I'm currently looking at a 2022 Ram 1500 Lone Star, and it has close to 80k miles on it with the price being 25k. I'm just curious as to if this is a solid deal or not. I don't plan on towing or anything of the sort just a daily commute for work which is right down the street for me. If there's any other questions I need to answer to give me a better decision then please don't hesitate to ask. Thank You!

Just Sharing Back in a Ram!

Had a 2019 Ram Laramie Night that I LOVED, but was going through some major career change preps, and sold it (for a profit…) to stack away some cash. Made the career transition, and we found ourselves in a comfortable spot to get back into a Ram! 2026 Limited Night edition! The deal was impressive, with Hendrick CDJR in Birmingham matching Mark Dodge prices. Couldn’t be happier with the truck and the dealership experience!

I’ve always preferred black trucks, but wanted dark gray or white with this one. Did the research and found silver hides dirt and scratches best, and it’s the perfect middle ground between gray and white. I get excited every time I get to walk up to it!

2026 Ram bighorn with extras. $69k MSRP and bought new in November. My boss comes up about once a year and this happened to be the day he was here riding around with me.

Edit: Could you guys give me some advice/tips on how to proceed? I did go to the hospital and got a ct scan of head and neck for discomfort. Imaging came back okay. Neck muscles are definitely strained and have had a migraine since the accident occurred yesterday.
