    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    Just passed the Warren truck holding lot the other day and saw some Classics out there. What engine in them is unknown. Given they dropped the Hemi faster than a hot potato for the Gen5 truck and even shortened the '24 model year offering, I'm going to say the Classic is done as of this model...

    Canadian truck It's possible to change 3.5 to 7 inch cluster

    ^^^ what he said You'll want a cluster that close to the same year. You'll also need AlfaOBD (w/OBD and security gateway bypass cable) to update the mileage and engine hours.

    Squeaking noise after the truck is off

    Problem with pulling the negative battery cable if it is a blend door, those will stop moving also. Pulling the radio fuse will eliminate that as the issue. When troubleshooting you want to eliminate one potential cause at a time.

    Squeaking noise after the truck is off

    Just opening the door will "wake" the vehicle electronics up. Leave a window down and let the truck sit for 5 minutes, the truck should go "back to sleep" to see if the sound stops.

    High pitched whine in a 17 Ram 2500 diesel.

    It maybe just the turbo spooling if it follows the engine load/rpm.

    Trouble starting 6.7

    is there a possibility of air in the fuel pump/lines? Is the tank lift pump working? What's the rail fuel pressure while cranking?

    Dang automatic brake

    There should be a setting in the radio to stop the electric parking brake from automatically setting when the vehicle is placed in park. There might be a problem with the parking brake sticking or hanging up, it may need to be serviced.

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    70K miles is about low average for that age of truck, probably has at least another 100K miles or more. If it's an accident free truck and has a good service record history you might want to jump on it. Really only known issues with the Hemi trucks is the exhaust manifold bolts breaking or the...

    Dang automatic brake

    Is the parking brake staying engaged? If you step on the gas does the truck act like your stuck or does the engine just rev? If the engine just revs, make sure the door is fully closed

    Let's see those exhaust setups!

    If your referring to your Cummins powered truck and your from California that means deleting is out of the question about the only thing is to take the muffler out. It's probably not the greatest to dump the exhaust under the truck due to the regen cycle, lot of heat comes out.

    2021 Laramie 5.7 Fuel

    89 octane is recommended but 87 is acceptable. It's a good idea to run 89 if your towing, or like to drive spiritedly. The ECM is less likely to pull timing to control engine knocking.

    Lightbulb for Headlight

    Yes those are Projector headlights. It maybe best to pull the headlight to check which pull the headlight to verify which low beam bulb is in the housing. Starting with the '16 model year the projectors started using 9005 in both the Low and High beams. Although it is possible to use the 9005...

    Lightbulb for Headlight

    If your truck has the reflector headlight (Quad) the low beam is an H11, the high beam is 9005. If your truck has Projector style headlights, the low beam is 9012, the high beam bulb is 9005. For either headlight type, a standard or Long Life halogen bulb is what was installed at the factory.

    Looking for a "plug-in" trickle charger for RAM 3500 Diesel Dually

    yes the batteries are wired in parallel, no need for two separate chargers, it may even cause them to not work properly. Check out the 5A and 10A version of the NOCO chargers, you don't need to mount the charger on the truck, they have ends you can hardwire to the battery then just plugs into...
