@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 unfortunately if the electric e-brake is on, and the truck don't recognize the key fob, u can't get it to release. So pulling the tab to get the truck in neutral won't work well with the rear tires locked up. Ram didn't realize that one haha.
Great video my man! Hell, I didn't know most of these. I have a 2021 RAM 1500 Night Edition. Request: Video for the RAMs with the larger screen and use Andriods. Much Thanks!

See Scotty Kilmer's video about why you shouldn't buy a RAM. I have a 2013 with 130k miles that lost power steering and can't find parts for because RAM has discontinued them. F@#k RAM. Never again.
@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 The one you just demoed is much like my 2023 Bighorn 2500, so you covered much of it. I'm a first time RAM owner after 35 years of F150s, so it's taken a bit to get used to it. The most frustrating aspect has been the expense of rear floor leveling kits, so I'm making my own.
Preston a thousand thank yous for your OH you didn't know video's. We were having issues with interior lights not coming on when we opened doors, and were looking in the manual, couldn't find a solution, so told my husband I'm looking on Preston's channel. And sure enough just looked at this particular video, and sure enough, I had found out that I had accidentally turned the dome light toggle switch off!! As soon as I saw that on the video, I knew that I had switched it off when looking to turn on one of those small lights!!! You are our go to guy for explaining and showing how to do it!!!!! God Bless You!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you for putting these videos out. Keep these great videos coming. Thank you again!!!!!

Is there any way my 2018 power wagon can get the same and should be better ( save the planet lol ) fuel mileage as my 2004 f250 superduty... 18.5 mpg average compared to 13mpg.. please i need a save the planet person/scientist i dont care who to explain to me how a 14year newer truck gets worse mileage then a 14 year older truck ...
The Tip I learned from my 2003 Ram 1500 Laramie Quad-Cab 4x4 5.7L by accident is that if I ever forget to turn off any Interior lights and even the Headlights (even though the Headlights have a chime that goes on letting me know that they are still on after turning off the truck), say I'm in a hurry and don't turn them off. After a brief period of time any lights that were left on will automatically turn off after about 5-10 minutes. I don't have to worry about my battery being dead the next morning, as soon as I enter the truck the next morning I will see if I left any lights on after closing the door, and when I turn on the ignition the chime for the Headlights starts making noise, I have never had a dead battery.
My RAM 3500 2020 usb ports lights (those white around the usb ports) stay on little after i shut down the vehicle, i can't find a way to keep them off when the vehicle is off, how do i do that? Does that affect batteries?
Having an issue with my rear view mirror auto dim. maybe it is just the new LED Lights but sometimes it seems to work and others not so much. I know where the controls are and how to turn on or off????
When I had a 2015 the tow truck driver drug it up the tow truck with the parking brake locked because I lost all power and at the time neither of us knew there was a rope to put it in neutral
If you put a battery tender on to charge up after sitting a while and your charging ports won't work you need to either disconnect the battery or pull fuses to get it to work again. It's annoying

The warlock isn’t worth it. I wanted one too. It’s an express with an off road package. I had an express. Wasn’t a good truck. Get a rebel if you want the off road look. You need to get a big horn or better with a ram for it to be worth while
