  2006 1500 SLT Information Regarding Adding Fog Lights

  By MuddyJeep810

  Hi all. New here. Just purchased my first Dodge Ram over the weekend. It is a 2006 1500 SLT crew cab 4x4. I am interested in adding fog lights to my truck. I currently have the angled 'filler' bezel in the fog light location in my bumper. I found the factory wire harness on the drivers side that the factory fog light pig tail would plug into. I have read that the 2006+ needs to be programmed by a dealer to enable the fog light feature. I also read in my truck manual that if my truck were... Read more

  Anyone running a Paradox muffler on a 4th gen Ram 1500 with hemi?

  By Ramtuf

  I have been researching mufflers for my 2022 Ram 1500 regular cab and have narrowed it down to 3 companies. Magnaflow, B2 and Paradox. Magnaflow and B2 have direct bolt on mufflers and Paradox is a universal fit that will need a small pipe welded in to make up for the size. Paradox has a Signature series and Hot Tomale (more aggressive). I am leaning toward the Hot Tomale. Paradox is a very small company, I spoke directly with one of the owners which tells you how small they are. Mufflers... Read more

  Overheating conundrum

  By Brayden1591

  2014 Ram 1500 5.7 For the first 30-35 minutes of being “operating temperature” my truck will overheat if not moving (highest I saw was 245f). I thought originally ok my fans just died. It will do this consistently, but after that 30-35 minutes has passed, it will idle and be in traffic completely fine. 219f-222f coolant temps after that half hour. Oil temps never got over 225f but I don’t want to risk a head gasket every time I drive. Already tested KO1 and KO2 which both test fine (around... Read more

  12" Uconnect 5 upgrade - backup camera issue.

  By shaheencpn

  I installed a 12" UC5 upgrade kit into 2020 Ram 3500. After installation, I was getting a blue screen when I put the truck in reverse. Tried to tweak rear camera present setting on alfaobd but no luck. Then I swapped the uc5 module to another one. So I went from 2024 production to a 2021 production receiver module, both out of a heavy duty truck. Still the same problem. What am I missing here? Is it something to do with the programming? I will attach a link to the harness kit that I... Read more

  New guy in town

  By dano76

  Just purchased a 2022 Ram 1500 Classic with the Warlock package. My first Dodge/Ram pickup, although I've been playing with cars/trucks for over 55 years. So far, so good. I like the ride, it's comfortable, quiet, etc. And I love the Warlock package. It has plenty of get-up-and-go, plenty of horsepower, torque, etc. My last pickup was a 79 Ford and yeah, it ran like a nearly 50-year-old truck. So this is a nice upgrade. I'm looking for advice on things like aftermarket toys, tonneau... Read more

  Service Electronic Throttle Control Module

  By DirtyHarry

  If you are a Ram Diesel owner you have probably seen that warning pop up. "Service Electronic Throttle Control Module" or some variation of it. This is a 2020 Ram 6.7 3500. It has given me trouble from the day it was delivered to me. Bought it used on Ebay and it was a mess. So i put it thru the weight reduction program and installed a programmer which solved 90 percent of all problems. But some remain and that is one of them, so that is the one i need to solve now. What i have done so far... Read more

  What is the best DEF/EGR delete kit?

  By davisphase10

  I have a 2014 Dodge Ram 6.7 and I am considering doing a complete delete. Any advice on the best kit? I'm looking for a selectable tune: Low speed in town, Highway, towing. I'm not looking to severely boost HP. It seems there are a lot of choices and I know nothing of the companies, e.g. Explosive Diesel, Unlimited Diesels, Tuner Depot, Elite Diesels + the different types: Race-me, EFILive, GDP MM3, EZLink, etc. Any ideas?

  LED Headlight Bulbs Upgrade

  By frankcastle865

  I have a 2018 Ram (Classic). I want to change out my halogen lights for LEDs. I've looked and some bulbs mention that you need to have a canbus installed along with the LED in order to keep flickering and errors from happening. Other LED bulbs say 99% error free and don't mention needing the canbus system installed. Anyone have any recommendations? One of the brands I'm looking at is the Fahren brand... Read more

  Auto dim stopped working on outside mirrors only?

  By saboken

  2012 Ram 2500 6.7 Laramie. I am 100% sure all 3 mirrors are auto dimming I tested them when I purchased the truck. They all took on a green tint when activated by headlights behind me and when I blocked the inside forward facing sensor and used a flashlight on the rear facing sensor. The auto tilt still works the electric adjustment works and the heating defrost works. They just stopped dimming. The only thing was the truck sat in a garage during the extreme Michigan Upper Peninsula... Read more

  HD Radio? (2021 RAM 1500 with 12inch UC5 upgrade)

  By 713Bubba78

  So I purchased a Uconnect 5 model and a 12 inch screen from separate sellers on eBay... all work fine, but when I first booted up, I noticed that GPS wasn't working properly, location was correct, but there was no map. I noticed that my map file was for South America, so I updated that file successfully. Now the only option that I am missing is the HD radio. I can technically live without, I use Android Auto, but it bugs me that I don't have HD radio or Sirius for that matter. My truck... Read more
