Love my truck… but geez 😭

$723 and approx 2600 miles later. Just in case anyone is wondering how much it costs to drive one of these trucks or is thinking about making the switch lol. Most of these miles have been joyrides or me just looking for reasons to get in my truck and drive somewhere. I’m hoping my joy rides stabilize once I start working again :/

Edit: I forgot to add I got my truck on 5/29 and these miles and gas fill-ups are from 1 month of joy rides

Picked up a high milage 4th Gen -What project maintenance should I tackle first ?

Picked up a 2012 Ram1500 with 300,000kms. Might have an issue with torque converter, but beyond that- what major maintenance should I tackle first?? The body, frame and interior are in excellent shape currently.

New Wheel and tire upgrade!

Got New wheels for Father's Day and I gotta admit, it really does change the look of my truck (1st pic After, 2nd Before)! I'm not a huge fan of big rims on a truck so I stuck with 18" gloss black wheels. For the tires I got the biggest that would fit on my truck without rubbing which are 295 70/18 (34.3in).

Sport hood bug deflector

Who can confirm and post pictures of their hood bug deflector on a sport hood? I have a 2024 Ram 1500 with the sport hood and the sites I’ve looked at say that they are not compatible with the sport hood.

‘21 Ram 1500 big horn with 54K miles and 5.7L for $34K

Looking for some info on whether this would be a good buy or not and what to look out for during initial look/test drive. Best pic is behind the chain link unfortunately because they just got it in and I’m assuming they’re still prepping it before going on the lot.

Looking to doing some light camper towing in the future and holding onto it for next 6-8 years or so.

Dealer has me OTD @ $63,713

Has anyone bought a Rebel comparable to this one in SoCal? If so, what was your OTD?

Accidently became a RAM 1500 owner...

Been looking for a truck for a while. This is only to tow with, a dozen times a year or so. Just seemed like a coin flip between the F150 and a RAM1500.

Found an auto auction by me, and this was the nicest truck (that wasn't $8k+) on the lot. Got it for $4000.

Not a spec of rust on it, one of my main concerns living in the rust bucket belt.

Key Fob help

2018 Big Horn

So first My key fob lock button didn’t work, but the unlock button/proximity did. The truck keeps randomly unlocking itself when I get near it without me pressing anything(I’ll hear it rapidly unlocking itself 3 times in a row). I replaced the battery and it still does it. If I remove the fob battery completely, the issue stops. I have a spare that’s the manual key but rather use fob/auto start sometimes. Anyone had this happen before? Shit is weird

CLUSTER BUTTONS

The lower buttons on the dash board are unresponsive. Nothing lights up when I press to indicate they are on.
Tow Haul
Steering wheel warmer
Seat warmer
Traction Control
Any idea what that could be? Haven’t tried any of the other buttons to see if they work.
Just got a brand new engine and wiring harness 40k miles ago so it’s fairly new.
It’s a 2014 Big Horn 1500 5.7
It did sit for 2-3 days but that shouldn’t be a problem.
It has an after market stereo and a small little touch screen pad that controls the heat/ac

Healthy Hemi ?

what do the reddit certified mechanics think of my 2015 1500 5.7 hemi engine sound.

Dealership says it’s healthy. wondering if anyone has any tips for the hemi. I never idle, installing a hellcat oil pump in a few weeks. anything else to do? anything I have to worry about other then the camshaft? let me know!

Test drove a '19 Bighorn today; does this sound okay?

As the title says, test drove a Ram with the 5.7. Not a bad looking truck, but it has 159k. Idle hours are 16% and I don't "think" this is the hemi tick but wondering if anyone who knows for sure would be so kind as to confirm. My apologies for posting, but I've never heard the tick in person and my hearing is horrible.
