    Over filled oil

    I would agree but the dipstick wouldn't explain the smaller amount that drained out. If it were me, I'd jack up only the front end and allow it to drain overnight. I'd put it back to the ground and I'd bet more comes out. It doesn't seem like THAT much more would come out but you'd be...

    Avoiding the hemi tick?

    I have a 2010 Police car that I've managed to keep the idle hours relatively low (for Police car) and it's never made a tick, regardless of situation (cold start, hot start, etc.). If I must idle it the hood will always be popped to let excessive heat escape. 94k miles.

    Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck

    I'm with you on this. However, I still believe they are competitive with Phord and Chebbie who have their own issues, but disappointed after all these years they haven't corrected the lifter issue! This has to be costing them huge money.

    HELLPPP!!!! Truck down and at Dealership for 4 months and counting

    My friend had his 2019 Charger at dealership under warranty for transmission issue for over three months, baking in the Sun. I told him he's crazy not DEMAND a loaner/rental vehicle. He was also told parts were the problem. Anyway, he finally demanded a loaner and got one. He has another car...

    2016 Hemi 5.7 Noise

    COULD be a lifter. If the roller locks up and breaks loose; tick and no tick. Hopefully it's exhaust heat shield!

    87 vs 89 octane

    I didn't realize Costco had met top tier. That's good. Unless things have changed, more detergent in higher octanes too. I always stick with top tier and the recommended octane. On my 5.7 Charger it recommends mid grade but states it'll be okay on 87. I never get 87, and it's always top tier.

    I’m emotional right now in a good way

    Congrats on the truck and your anniversary! Looks like a super clean, nice truck. Enjoy!

    Modern Day El Camino.

    I agree that the old stuff is great. I've always owned old Mopars and now have a couple new ones too. Sometimes even with their simplicity, the old ones can drive me nuts so I retreat to the new stuff. Drivability, comfort, protection and more are pros of the new. The simplicity and raw driving...

    A. Accident damage thoughts…

    I agree with those who believe it's "Totaled". And I'd be pushing for that as others have said. It'll never be the same after repairs. I've known people who paid out $3k to have their vehicle totaled over having repaired. It was an almost new Phord SUV and insurance said it was $3k from totaled...

    Remote Oil Filtration System

    I used steel braided lines and an fittings and there's not even the tiniest seep.

    A/C compressor won’t engage

    I would start by checking fuse. My Charger did that and turned out to be just the clutch fuse.

    etorque and the 5.7

    I've done a search and read some info on problems with etorque. Is etorque standard on every Ram 1500 after a certain year? It seems ALL 2023 and 2024's are equipped. My friend is looking at new or late model 1500's with 5.7 and I'm concerned about the etorque. Also, is it basically a hybrid...

    How do I remove this stuck nut on battery connector?

    Same here. Wouldn't want to stress that post anymore.

    Do I/we have a Dodge Ram vs RAM vs Dodge Truck?

    I've expressed my opinion for years that this was a marketing faux pas. I hear "Dodge Ram" all the time at work when referring to Ram trucks post '09. People remain somewhat confused and that's never a good thing with brand identification and loyalty. I think it was a really dumb move, fixing...
