    Failed Oil Filter Housing / Oil Cooler

    My brake pedal feels the same as before, it gets alittle easier as the engine starts. When in drive with my foot on the brake, I feel the rough idle even through the brake pedal. Still searching.

    Failed Oil Filter Housing / Oil Cooler

    Thanks, it’s done. I had to have it done, neck and back woes…mechanic insisted on OEM due reworks on aluminum replacements. No idea what issues caused the leaks on the aluminum housings. Bad orings or bad installations? Damage upon installation? Anyway, we’ll see how this goes.

    2015 3.6L- replaced oil cooler, now has stumble issue when shift into gear.

    I have the same issue - had the oil filter housing replaced and now a rough idle. It was smooth as glass before. When I stopped at a light or anytime stopped with it in drive, you didn’t know the engine was even running. 2015 Ram 3.6 106K. The fuel usage is up also - about 2 mpg. If the...

    Failed Oil Filter Housing / Oil Cooler

    Yes, that is the plan. Thank you. I took it in to a garage for 100K tune up and I wanted the the oil filter housing changed then, after reading about the issues here.also thought coil packs should be replaced but the mechanic talked me out of the oil filter housing and coils. This time I’m doing...

    Failed Oil Filter Housing / Oil Cooler

    Any thoughts on the latest MOPAR OEM replacement housing and cooler vs Dorman or other third party? Mine is 2015. Locally some guys are touting the latest OEM plastic as being “better”. I’m in the dark. But I do enjoy that truck!

    Knob dial vs shift on console

    I struggle with the dial shift too. To old to appreciate it. Ram / MOPAR should have at least made the dial gear shaped or different other than just size from the radio knobs. I know aftermarket has options - looks like the $60+ gear shaped one for me if it’s actually made in the USA or an by an...

    Which of these is the likely culprit for my 'Parking Light Out' message?

    Thanks BigFrog, I jumped over to a couple other threads - I saw the MX+. So I assume the Autel won’t be helpful. The MX+ looks like I’ll be jumping up a few years in available tech and smart phone handiness. Sadly, those are my weak spots.

    Which of these is the likely culprit for my 'Parking Light Out' message?

    MX+…? I’m an idiot. Very outgoing But not too bright.

    Which of these is the likely culprit for my 'Parking Light Out' message?

    Well gents, trying to follow all this I think what little synapses I had left are fried. I recently purchased a ‘15 Bighorn crew and it’s throwing the parking light out code randomly. All bulbs look to be old style. The left headlight assembly had a lot of condensation - I dried it out and...

    Seat covers

    Has anyone tried what look like OEM seat skins from eBay? There seems to be a lot of sellers, just not sure if these are legit. I just bought an old ‘15 crew and both front lowers need help. Seats are heated. Wondering if these eBay offers are any good.

    V6 or V8?

    Thanks, most of those things are on my to do list. I did that to my ‘11 Avenger when I bought it in 2015 with ~50K miles. It’s now at 170K and still looking good except bottoms of the rear doors. Waiting for access to a lift so I can do most of it standing up.

    V6 or V8?

    Well, thanks everyone - I bought a 2015 Big Horn crew with a V6. High 90’s in miles so I’ll be doing the 100,000 mile service right off the bat. It has the power folding mirrors and the 8.4 “ radio (I think) heated seats and steering wheel. It’s far from perfect but it checked a lot boxes for...

    V6 or V8?

    I see. I’ve been out of the game so long I’ve not paid attention. Thanks.

    Is the standard box 8’?

    V6 or V8?

    I don’t know enough about diesels to buy one for an everyday driver. I make mostly short trips with an occasional trip to the Cleveland Clinic - about a two hour drive. I’m guessing the eco-diesel may not like a lot of short trips. An acquaintance says he has to send his oil out for testing to...

    V6 or V8?

    I have a ‘52 waiting for restoration (still runs, use it to go haul a few times a year) - and I was angry when they dropped Dodge. But I can’t argue with their success.

    V6 or V8?

    I’m comfy with the classic look, still trying to digest them ditching the Dodge connection.

    V6 or V8?

    Well thanks to all of you I’m more open to either now. That 100k mile service is an eye opener but so be it. I’m still bouncing around ‘14 thru ‘18 model years. I’m finding a lot of Express models but the radio and steering wheel controls are lacking in those. I did find a ‘14 Outdoorsman with...

    V6 or V8?

    Wow, thanks for the input everyone. I was concerned that the V6 would be underwhelming or that the Hemi would be too pricey for an everyday driver. I do have an occasional lead foot but I try to save that for FLFBS FatBoy (lead wrist). I get the impression that either will do the job. Thanks again.

    V6 or V8?

    Hello Ram Fans, Dumb question from an old guy… I’m going to buy a Ram Crew Cab 1500 4x4 for an everyday driver. Grocery getter and tool hauler for playing handyman to my 5 adult daughters. Any hauling / towing will be light. I am l looking at 2014 thru 2018 Rams. Am I a fool to consider a V6...
