First Truck!

[jschwanke84]

Hey everyone. Just bought my first new truck and I went with a Ram! I have loved them for a couple years but made sure I didn't rush as I plan to keep this truck for many years. Finally pulled the trigger yesterday and I am stoked.

I bought a 2016 Ram 1500 Express with the black edition package, popular equipment package, and several other extras.

Looking forward to being part of the community for years to come!

Congrats on the new truck. I love my black edition. Now that you have the truck and this forum, let the fun begin!

Welcome.

Thanks guys. I have a couple question right off the bat... I've done research but keep finding conflicting answers to these:

Does the 5.7 Hemi take regular, mid or premium fuel? Dealer told me regular, but some sites say mid or even premium.

Will a tonneau cover really improve fuel economy?

Recommend to run 89. It likes 89.

No on the cover. At least not for me.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.

i have found no difference between 89 and 87 octaine gas in performance or mpg. if i was towing heavy i might use 89. anything above the 89 is just a waste of dollars unless you are running a tune. congrats on the new ride.

I can't get 89 here, I've had no problems with 87.

I've run 87 in mine since day one with no problems. As was said, unless you are running a tune, you will be fine.
