    Three Camshaft replacements within a year

    most times when replacing these cams the mechanic will pull the bolts on the front of the heads that are considered the oil rail or supply port bolts. They do this to flush out any contaminants that may have gotten in the oil chambers of the heads. If they forget to put these bolts back in you...

    WINDSHIELD DAMAGE

    most likely a two fold problem. my 21 has had a windshield replaced at 1150 miles for a crack. The replacement cracked during install of all things. I think the quality of **** coming from FICA is lousy now. My 12" screen gets out of whack and has to be reset. The outside temp sensor gets out of...

    mine is a 21 rebel with 5.7 hemi and 8speed auto. 4 wheel drive and air ride. I get apx 10mpg around town and lucky to get 13 hey. These trucks are heavy as heck and take a lot to get them rolling. They are gas hungry. YOu will not do much better than were you are now.

    WOW - Rip Off Dealership

    we call them Stealerships for a reason. That was complete BS and a **** poor excuse for a dealership. Should report them to FICA for what good it will do.

    Are dealer oil changes required for warranty?

    Mobile1 is not approved for the Ram Hemi. I wish it were as it is a much better oil than the Pennzoil. I know you think otherwise but Chrysler denied warranty repair on my buddies 2020 Ram Hemi when it started the tick.

    It will void your warranty if your dealer installs a Mopar limited slip

    they voided my new 2021 rebel warranty for installing after market wheels even though the same size and same size tires. I had a wheel bearing go bad and took it in for repair and ended up having to pay for these reasons. Dam FICA is a screwed up company. Wished i had not bought the ram and...

    Oil Leak 2021 Rebel 35,000 miles

    i will. I had a Fram Ultra Guard which is third on their list of likes but i like the hex nut on the end of k&n filters. And i run K&N on my harley and have for the last 92,000 miles. Some people try and say they don not filter well but i know for a fact that is not correct

    Oil Leak 2021 Rebel 35,000 miles

    The filteration is 99.5% at a very low micron rate. I use the High Performace type. But if it goes to the dealer i will most likely pull it and put a mopar on.

    Oil Leak 2021 Rebel 35,000 miles

    Well i hear ya. And yes i know they do this. They tried to deny a warranty on my sons jeep with 1200 miles on it when exhaust studs broke off of head. I have been doing my own oil changes. Use K&N filters. Use Penzoil platinum oil as manual. I installed a Motofuel quick drain valve for the oil...

    Oil Leak 2021 Rebel 35,000 miles

    i did not realize you could do that. if it is a heater with me living in GA i find no need for it. I would like the idea of a bigger filter or at least more room to change what it there. The setup is the worst i have ever seen for replacing the filter. I finally used a gallon ziplock this last...
