    I should have bought a express crew cab

    I hear ya. I love my CC, but I really do miss driving my old 2006 RCSB with the HEMI. Man that truck was fun to drive.

    ^^^ This. Quality detailing products are worth the cost, time and effort. Truly makes a huge difference. Have used Adams in the past, and currently use chemical guys products.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Lack of cabin air filter from the factory. Given how most trucks are used, there is no excuse for this. Especially on a loaded truck.

    5.7 HEMI Oil Filter Leaking

    From what the dealer said Chrysler indicated there were some problems with 2013 hemi's with the old style filter. The newer design is supposed to be used on the 14 and up, and that is what they recommend and what is on there now. The crazy thing is when a new filter is installed it doesn't leak...

    5.7 HEMI Oil Filter Leaking

    I picked up the truck today. Dealer says yes the filter was tight but leaking at the seal. They replaced it with the "standard" filter that is supposed to fit 2013 and older Hemi engines. After testing and running for a while the new filter was showing signs of weeping/leaking. Dealer says they...

    5.7 HEMI Oil Filter Leaking

    Not this time. Too damn cold out to climb under there. The last 2 times I did and by hand it sure felt tight.

    5.7 HEMI Oil Filter Leaking

    It sure appears that way. After the filter is replaced the area is dry for a while. I'm going to take slowroller's advice and tell the dealer to replace the filter connector.

    5.7 HEMI Oil Filter Leaking

    Well the story continues. The truck is back at the dealer today for the third time with an oil leak coming from the filter. This dealer has been doing the oil changes, so they can't say a third party put it on incorrectly. I noticed it was dripping slightly about a week ago, and the drip has...

    Cooper Discoverer h/t +

    I have had the Coopers on now for a few weeks and close to 1k miles. Today is the first day we have had any rain, and the rain is heavy today. My impressions so far: Ride Quality - The tires seem to provide a slightly more firm ride. This was more noticeable when first installed because the...

    Cooper Discoverer h/t +

    Thanks for the info guys. The GY SRA's are basically shot at 37k miles. There is still some tread there but in wet conditions the tires suck. I pulled the trigger on the Cooper HT+ tires. Got a BF deal from tires direct for $548 including shipping, plus a $75 visa card bringing the cost down to...

    5.7 HEMI Oil Filter Leaking

    I have my truck in for service at the dealer for the second time for an oil leak. It has a drip from the oil filter area, and leaks enough that after driving a few miles it leaves a spot the size of a baseball. The first time the dealer said the filter was leaking, and it was due for a change...
