    Ram Hybrid for 2025

    Just a note on OTA software updates: Tesla writes ALL of their own code. Our model Y (2023 model) has had several over-the-air updates on software. No issues. No taking it to the dealer. Wake up the next day, drive the car. Unlike updates from most other OEMs like Ford, VW, Audi, Toyota. Jim...

    2025 1500 RamCharger. Is it an EV?

    Lots of questions, areas of concern, for when this vehicle goes from Vapor Ware to an actual on-the-lot item. Sorry long reply. The Ford Lightning weighs in at 6500 lbs. Add a Pentistar v6 and Generator to that weight and the truck is upwards of 7500lbs? Price?? this will be a very expensive...

    Stellantis: When do you go with the Tesla charger?

    Now that Ford, two weeks back, and GM have decided to go with the Tesla chargers, is the RAM REV being designed with a Tesla charge port on the truck? EVGO and the rest are going on life support financially. Waiting to hear from VW and the rest.

    2014 ram 1500 Bilstein strut replacement

    Replaced the front struts in the 4x4 ram 1500 with 115k miles. Original strut was starting to leak. I had the 3rd setting on the 6112 Bilsteins which gives a .8" lift. So far, the ride, steering, handling are very similar to the stock units. Maybe just a tad firmer over the bumps. Two hours and...

    What engine oil do you use in a 5.7 Hemi (non-eTorque)?

    Full synthetic 5w-20 for my 2014 5.7. Yours I believe takes 0W-20. Pick your poison.

    The red section is for smooth ride. Coils close together. The Yellow section is for carrying heavier loads.

    Simco rear springs 351-893HD

    2014 Ram 1500 CC 4x4 with 114k miles. When towing the 21ft toy hauler, the rear of the truck would sag a bit. I installed a set of Air Lift bags inside the factory coils years ago. The Air Lift units worked well to reduce the sag of the truck's rear end while towing. Scored a brand new set of...

    Exhaust manifold Leak

    Just a heads up. Talked with the Ram dealer Service Advisor concerning the broken exhaust manifold studs. He stated that one hemi truck came into the shop after the customer tried the weld technique to remove the residual broken stud. Because the negative battery cable was NOT disconnected...
