    Gas vs Diesel

    Two of the most important words......exhaust brake. The cummins has it for trying to stop heavy loads, its awesome.

    Getting an appointment for dealer service

    I think it really boils down to where you live. Around me I have two dealerships, within 30 miles. I have gone to both for warranty, amd recall work. Averages about one week to get in. The NAV issue is most likely your radios software. My radio wasnt over the air updating, and they had to...

    Oily residue

    If its a 4WD, you might check and see if the CV boots on the front wheels are not compromised?

    My new RAM

    My interior is just like that but its a 2500. Laramie longhorn package. I like the refreshing change from everything being black.

    A perfect 10??

    Nope, there's just no way I can. And they charged me $155 for the labor on the filters too.

    Key FOB - Proximity?

    The touch and go feature is definitely an option. And I have found my FCA fobs seems to like to be kinda close to work everytime.

    A perfect 10??

    Well I took my 2022 2500 into the dealer for some work today. My wife talked me into letting the dealer do some of the things I always used to do for maintenance basics. Anyway the dealership always sends me an email after a visit, asking for me to fill out the future FCA survey with all 10s...

    Help! Can’t decide how to upgrade

    The diesel option is another $10k. My first thought after reading your thread, I think the gasser would be better option. I have always done the 3.73 gears as well.

    Engine hours/oil change interval

    I change mine at least once a year. I too, dont drive mine much, as it it used mainly for towing my RV, not daily driver. I pay no attention to the hours logged.

    Which mud flaps

    I have always installed mud flaps on my trucks when new. Usually went with the mopar ones as they are form fitting and thru online places are reasonable.

    Intermittent antifreeze smell

    I had some warranty work done three years ago to replace the water pump in the CTD on one of my trucks. And I still smell coolant when warm. I think that OAT coolant type smells and lingers more than the older stuff did? I have several FCA vehicles, the only vehicle I own that doesnt smell...

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    Have you seen the majority of the GM trucks, both large and small.... is now a turbo 4 cylinder. Like others here have already said, times are a changing, and I doubt it its going stop. Honestly for a 1500 series truck, which I would use like a car anyway, it wouldnt matter what engine it had...

    Terrible towing with factory air suspension

    I would agree with what you are experiencing to a point. I tow a fifth wheel with my 22, with factory air suspension. I do notice it does seems to have some lateral swaying under load and towing... as compared to my previous gen4 truck w/o the air suspension. I think the factory air...

    2022 Big Horn rear end troubles

    The diffs in the trucks are from american axle in the RAMs. I almost sure GM buys them as well? Its been a few since my wife worked for AAM, but both GM, and stalantis bought differentials from them at one time not that long ago.

    Driving habits reported to your insurance company?

    I know back in my days of corvettes, and camaros. There was a lot of threads on how guys went to lengths to remove the onstar modules. Since I have a 2500 truck, I drive it like a 60 plus year old man would. Shouldnt be much to report there. But if anyone at FCA, or stalantis wants to know...
