    Octane

    It makes you wonder why did FCA design HEMI for 89 octane (preferred)? If you ask most consumers I believe most would want a pickup truck to run on regular 87 octane and some would want 91 octane fuel for 'higher performance'. Resulting in either cheap fill-ups with 87 OR high performance with...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I'll probably go that route in few years after the OEMs rust away You would expect side-step to be mounted to the frame on a TRUCK that has one, but it's not. With few extra heavy duty brackets it will hold fine even if its a foot away, but that will cost $15 more. In North East rockers are...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Next time I go looking for a vehicle, I'll take week off and I'll check weather forecast and make sure its a rainy day. Ill bring my CD case and my 27' trailer, and I'll hire a salter truck to drive in front of me and sling rock salt, all while operating rear-slider window and HVAC controls In...

    corneileous the FCA's lawyer and unofficial Ram Cares representative People posting about things that they don't like with the truck in the tread "what don't you like about your RAM", I believe they are not looking for YOUR approval nor YOUR opinion on it

    Need help diagnosing what I’m guessing is a suspension issue.

    typically you are not going to visually spot suspension issues like yours, I would recommend getting a nice pry-bar and trying to load each component of the suspension by applying pressure - all while keeping in mind where your fulcrum is so that you don't tear up brake, fuel, cooling or...

    Chipped Windshield - NHTSA complaint

    Don't tell me that 13 years and 186k miles you were lucky, and all of the sudden your luck changed when you got new 2019. Glass on new rams is subpar. MWGA. Make Windshield Great Again FCA!

    Chipped Windshield - NHTSA complaint

    I drove many vehicles over the years and chips never happened. I was driving down the highway in E-150 at around 60mph, when a rock size of tennis ball fell of the dump truck and smacked the windshield right in the middle, I braced myself as I expected the impact (no way to swerve to avoid it)...

    Chipped Windshield - NHTSA complaint

    Yes, but manufacturer makes it to FCA spec/standard and big MOPAR is etched on it A lot of times manufactures cut cost by cutting quality, I think their windshield if perfect example of this

    I have 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, I had it for about 3 months and about 3000 miles, I'm mostly driving on the county back roads and it seams that every time I get on the highway I get rock chip in my windshield. There's 6 of them already. I have never seen or witnessed anything like this before on...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    1. Shifter knob, that looks/feels like volume AND climate AND tune/skip knob - while there were at it, FCA should have installed temperature knob and 4wd selector knob right next to cigarette lighter knob :dogpile: 2. pay $50k just to spend another $70 on the owner's manual + $60 on the front...
