    What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?

    2019 1500 I get average 17 to 18 mpg during the summer. Winter blend fuel I get 15 to 16 mpg. Towing my 28 ft Jaco camper I get anywhere from 8 -12 mpg

    A. Accident damage thoughts…

    Even without frame damage it is going to run about 14 to possibly 20k to make repairs. I hit a deer a year ago. No sheet metal damage at all. Front bumper, Grill, condenser, radiator, all of the grill and louvers cost $5300.00. Then also factor in cost of rental truck. Glad that you are not...

    Nitto GRPLR vs Toyo AT3 vs BFG KO2

    I have been running BFG KO2s for more than a year on my 1500. I pull a 28 foot Jayco camper all the time. They are great in the rain and great traction pulling my camper uphill in gravel and dirt. If I ever wear these out, I will buy more just like them.

    60750 Miles and Exhaust Manifold leak...

    I have a 2019, Just had the right side replaced under warranty. I have the factory extended warranty that I had purchase because of all the electronic toys built into this thing. If it happens again it will cost me a Ben Franklin. It is now out of factory warranty due to the mileage.

    Well that’s disappointing

    I have a 2019 5.7 with e-torque. Got 54000 on the odometer now. No major problems whatsoever with the e-torque system. People say how does it save fuel??? Obviously when the engine is not running, it is not using fuel! Does it save fuel? Maybe a little! To date the only issues I have had is a...

    Engine Oil Heat Exchanger Leaking

    Update: Found that when you pull filter this heat exchanger housing has a lot of play. The oil filter is what actually holds this in place. I rotated exchanger opposite direction (1/4) turn and installed a new filter only hand tight. This actually stopped the leak. Seems kind of a Mickey Mouse...

    What have you plugged into 110v?

    I ran my wife's Oxygen Concentrator while on a trip out of town. Worked great. We also have a Town and Country van that has the same.

    Any C.B. Guys out there ?

    I ran a CB in my work van for years. I ran a cb in my work van for years. A General Lee pushing a Texas Star 350 High drive. I traveled 1500 to 2500 miles a week. I am also looking into installing this in my 1500. Just have not figured out how to or where to install it yet. Not many places to...

    I'm not a millennial.

    I have had my Long Horn for over 2 years now. Love the push button start. Still cannot get used to the rotary gear shifter. To damn many knobs close together. I keep grabbing the wrong ones. I am 62 now and cannot get rid of all those years of muscle memory!!
