    Gas Nozzle Gets Stuck in Filler Neck

    I have this problem of "no release" on my 2016 Ram 1500. Dealer would not cover replacement gas filler neck. They quoted me 256.00 dollars. Called FCA to see if they would warranty it. They said NO. Customer service rep indicated she was getting calls on it. I made her aware it was a potential...

    Gushing about my 2019 Laramie 1500

    I bought a simple 2wd work truck with crank windows, locks and an old fashion key to open the door and start the truck. So far at 32,000 miles I have had ZERO problems. Great gas mileage, 27 mpg on the road at 65mph. I tow a Hi-Lo camper weighs 4,000 lbs and 3.6L still gets 19/20 with plenty of...

    Gushing about my 2019 Laramie 1500

    I am happy to hear from guys on here who are happy with their expensive new trucks. That said, I will pay more attention to you after you have about 80,000 under your belt. As an older guy who is not a big fan of modern vehicles I can say I hear literally hundreds of horror stories on here and...

    Towing with 3.6L 3.21 gears

    I sure appreciate all the feed back. I am going to take the one guy's advice and switch to the Redline gear lube before I take off. The weight of the Hi-Lo is 5,500 lbs. and it will be empty with no possessions or full propane tanks. My pick up will also be mostly empty with just a floor jack...

    Towing with 3.6L 3.21 gears

    So my Ram 1500 3.6L 2wd is tow rated at about 4,960 lbs with 3.21 gears. The same truck with 3.55 gears is rated at 7,100 lbs. The additional 2,100 lb capacity with a jump to the 3.55 gears sure seems like a lot to me. Here's my concern: I am going to tow a HiLo camper trailer that weighs 5,500...

    Top speed 106? What?

    I had a good friend of mine killed a few years ago because some moron was testing his truck out at over 100 MPH. My friend was rear ended and pushed off the road and he and his dog were both killed. The moron is in jail now for vehicular manslaughter. None of you guys have the right to drive...

    2019 Classic 5.7 or 3.6?

    I purchased a new 2016 Ram 1500 with 3.6. So far it has been just great. I recently drove from the mid west to California and averaged 27 MPG in 1,523 miles of freeway driving at between 65 and 75 MPH. I have a 4,000 LB old Hi-Lo camper I pull and still knock down 20MPG ! I am an old mechanic...

    Dealer still has my Ram and it wont start !!!

    These previous posts are yet another example of why I feel today's vehicles are just a pain in the ass. I realize I am probably living in the past but I just don't think the consumer is getting what they pay for with these expensive NEW trucks having all these problems. Granted often times...

    So many problems !

    I really am amazed at how many problems guys have with these expensive new trucks ! It's not just Ram trucks either. I've driven an old 1990 Silverado for 30 years and 274,000 miles and I have never had problems like I see posted on here. I know quite a few guys who have had to replace cam and...
