    2015 Ram Hemi needs a new battery....suggestions?

    I go back and buy a Mopar replacement. I've had 2 OEM batteries that lasted over 7 years. They both still tested okay but l replaced them anyway. Any battery that last that long is a great battery in my book.

    Mobil 1? Why not?

    I've run Mobil 1 (Mobile Uno in French:)) in both of our Rams and my Challenger. All three were purchased new from a dealer. All three had as part of the purchase agreement that we receive five free oil changes using Mobil 1 oil. None of the dealers balked, no one told us that it would void our...

    What the heck is this?

    Very true. I was always amazed at how accurate it was and the reading never seemed to be affected by baking in the sun. The new mirror mount-not so amazed.

    Cam Failure Poll

    Our first Ram (2013) ate the cam at 185,000 miles. Always ran Mobil 1 and changed oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Dealer replaced the cam and lifters and we put another 10,000 miles on it before trading for a new 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with 5.7L. We have about 7,500 miles on the new one. We were...

    What tonneau cover do you have?

    I just got the Tyger tri-fold and it seems nice. It has a semi-matte surface which I think looks better then the shiny finish on my other covers. Not sure about watertight yet, it hasn't rained for awhile and hasn't been through a car wash yet. Fit was nice, although it's not overly long, so I...

    Bent pushrod while doing Cam and Lifter swap? Few other questions...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to bend a pushrod is to have a valve contact the piston. Someone mentioned that you should check to make sure the valve still operates, thus ensuring the valve stem isn't bent but what about the piston? Unless Chrysler installed forged pistons from the...

    Pearl Coat

    I love the way the Delmonico Red Pearlcoat looks out in the sun but in the garage it just doesn't have the shine and reflection I'd like. I've noticed this on Rams black pearlcoat paint also. Up close it's great but back away and it loses the shine and looks like it's dusty. You can really see...

    Room in the Garage for a TRX??

    We picked up our new Ram last Thursday afternoon and our salesmen told us that their dealership was allowed 5 TRX's. Our salesman had already taken orders for two of the five, another salesman had taken orders for two more, and dealership would order the last one so they had one to put on the...

    I'm a fool but I can't help it.

    So, long story short, we traded in our True Blue 2013 Ram Express hemi with 183,000 miles for a brand new Delmonico Red 2019 Ram Express Classic hemi. This was and is my wifes baby. Even after the need to replace the cam and lifters in her old hemi we bought another one, simply because the 2013...

    DO NOT BUY RP 10-47!!!!

    Does anyone know why Walmart doesn't stock the Mopar filter for the Hemi? They have most of the others but not the M-409.
