    Ram Hybrid for 2025

    Chrysler talked about this back in 2006 when Mercedes owned them. I can't believe no one has done this yet. It seems like an absolute perfect transportation solution. Make the generator diesel and low RPM and the Bob's Your Uncle!!! Or better yet, a Wankle!

    Looking for Mopar Extended warranty

    I've bought two extended service plans from Tom.....I live in Massachusetts and my dealer wanted $3000 for 7year unlimited miles...Tom did it for $1700 (2021 Ram 2500 / 6.4L Hemi / 4wd) Interestingly, I had a 2019 that I traded in on the 2021 with the same warrantee from Tom. When I called him...

    Goodyear Endurance Trailer Tires

    I have a 7500 pound trailer with Goodyear Endurance. Set at 75 pounds...Recently added SUMO SPRINGS.....Simply amazing improvement in towing. Far less bounce and wooble....Well worth the price.... https://www.superspringsinternational.com/sumosprings/

    2023 5.7L V8 HEMI MDS VVT eTorque Engine 3.21 Rear Axle Ratio

    I've had 1500 series trucks with the 5.7.....In my estimation, terrible tow vehicles towing my 7000 small camping trailer. Horrible out west, blowing its brains out to even do 35mph up the mountains! I stepped up to a 2021, 6.4L, 8 speed......Night and day difference! I've towed over 30K milkes...

    You could have a Ford Super Duty where you need to remove the whole cab for many of the general maintenance items....Ads $1000 to the bill even before a wrench is turned!

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    You could not be more misinformed.....Try to find a V8 in most if not all current over the road trailer trucks...All have straight 6 engines. Loads of real engineers on YouTube discussing why a straight six, for heavy applications, FAR outperforms a V8.....V8 is for horsepower...Straight 6 is...

    Duh! Dumped a gallon of washer fluid into coolant reservoir. (2016 Ram 1500)

    A few years ago, my mother did this. We ran that car for near 100,000 miles with an Anti-Freeze / Windshield Washer Fluid mix......Never an issue.
