Wind noise.
Does this problem show up on both quad and crew cab or is it more one than the other? -
NOT Happy with my 2019, not even at the first oil change yet! Mostly a dealer complaint...
Man that really sucks. There are literally 6 Ram dealerships within a 20 mile radius from me. I guess sometimes we forget how fortunate we are living on the east coast US. I'm sorry man!- mortarman

A Ram 1500 without a Hemi?
Part of research is asking people that already own the truck you're interested in questions that you have. You then use all that info along with info from other sources to make a decision. So let's let everyone make a buying decision or whatever type of decision, any way they want. What works...- mortarman

Slacadjuster why are you on this forum then? Just to belittle the people that ask for advice? To assert your perceived dominance over those people that ask for advice? You don't need anyone's opinion on your decisions, great for you but that does not give you the right to put down and insult...- mortarman

A Ram 1500 without a Hemi?
I did search the forums but found nothing that gave me any kind of satisfaction. I've been a new member of other forums and I've been on many of them long enough to become a senior member and when a new member asks a question, whether it be a new one or a much discussed topic other members...- mortarman

A Ram 1500 without a Hemi?
I don't need to tow anything, never had, never will. I have an 8 mile commute to work one way. Most of my driving is around town with occasional highway for less than 10 miles. Every other week I drive an hour to visit my 92 year old mom. Once a year I drive an hour an a half to a music...- mortarman

Let me ask you a question. I've never ordered a vehicle from the factory before. Always settled for what was on the lot. Did the dealership still give you good discounts on your truck? Did you have to go through a lot of negotiating with the salesperson? Just curious.- mortarman

Thanks again guys, really enjoying this forum! Johnnymac thank you and to you as well. I'll look into how to get that badge. I really want a Laramie but I'll have to weigh the cost against my budget. But if it comes down to it, I'll go for the Big Horn to get a hemi.- mortarman

Well as I understand it, most likely 3.21. Am I correct in that the 3.92 is more for towing? Since I don't need to tow anything I'll go for the smaller gear ratio. Please correct me if I'm wrong.- mortarman

Yes, mortar as in 60mm mortar but not as in the actual army but as in a WWII reenactor using a functional (black powder) but replica 60mm mortar. It goes back lots of years and a very long story. Although I am a veteran (USAF) not army. But thanks for asking!- mortarman

A Ram 1500 without a Hemi?
Thanks everyone, I guess my mind was already made up but I still needed some wise guidance. I'm gettin' a hemi! Johnny mac, your post made me laugh out loud! And you guys are right. Looking at it, the mpg savings in a v6 is not enough to justify getting one. Thanks again!- mortarman

A Ram 1500 without a Hemi?
Hi everyone. So I'm having a dilemma in making a decision. Not sure if I need advice or just need to vent. Anyway, so I'm going to be getting my first truck soon. Now I've been a mopar guy all my life as far as classic cars go. I've had a '67 Dodge Dart, a '68 Plymouth Satellite, and a '72...- mortarman

New Truck Ordering and Trade In
I'll be looking seriously in a few months. I'll have like 8 more payments left on my current lease. I'm hoping I can end the lease early and have a decent amount to put down on a new Big Horn but not sure how that all works as this is my first lease. I plan on financing the Ram.- mortarman
