    Dealer states 2019 Dodge Laramie needs differential cleaned at 26K miles.

    Synthetic gear oil is supposed to be good for 500,000 miles in HD class 8 trucks. Unless it’s been submerged or there’s an obvious leak/problem, I wouldn’t touch it until it has 100,000 miles.

    Soft covers - theft a problem?

    I had a bak flip hard trifold for a couple of years. A screw driver would’ve easily popped it open. The latches didn’t hold up that well. I’d do a soft cover next time and save $$. Its like your house. It doesn’t matter how many locks you put on the door when they can just break a window.

    How's the air filter? Always start with the obvious/easiest/cheapest.

    Why is there a Classic?

    For me, it came down to price and availability. Last October I changed jobs and no longer had a company vehicle. I bought a 2021 Classic quad cab with the Hemi, Chrome Plus package and Electronics package (8.4 touchscreen, upgraded EVIC and auto AC) new for just under $36K. Sticker was $39K...

    HD with Gasoline I6

    I have a '64 Chevy with a 292. It ran good for a while but I need to find a better carb. I've had it up to about 83 with the stock running gear, but it cruises nicely around 65.

    HD with Gasoline I6

    Inl Inline 6's gave way to V6's in the 80's due to the switch to front wheel drive. All of the heavy duty Class 8 trucks i've ever driven were inline 6's. That's all you've been able to get in a semi for several decades now. They produce more torque at a lower RPM compared to a similar...

    I know that the remote start won't work if the check engine light is on.

    2021 1500 Classic "Factory" holes in wheel well liner and undisclosed dent repair

    That's what I figured. When I bought the truck, the plastic bed rail cap was loose at the front drivers side. Turns out the plastic that snaps into the bed is broken. The truck was dirty when I test drove it. I asked if the truck if it had any hail damage, since it was too dirty to see minor...

    2021 1500 Classic "Factory" holes in wheel well liner and undisclosed dent repair

    Thanks guys. I can't imagine why they'd drill there since its wide open in front of them anyway. Looks like the dealer's going to have to deal with me unless someone else with a '21 Classic has matching holes.

    2021 1500 Classic "Factory" holes in wheel well liner and undisclosed dent repair

    I bought a new 2021 1500 Classic in October. When I hand washed the truck for the first time, I discovered two drilled holes in the rear driver's side wheel well liner. The dealer tells me this is normal, however I can't imagine why you'd want holes in them. Upon further inspection, It...

    IS IT TIME 5.7 TO GET DROPPED ???

    I just bought a new 2021 RAM 1500 Classic with the 5.7 Hemi. This is the first new vehicle I've bought that wasn't a GM product. I couldn't be happier with the way it drives. I spent less for the Hemi than a similar Chevy with a turbo 4 cylinder would have been. It's the most bang for the...
