    2022 Ram 1500 Throttle/downshifting issues

    Is there any indication on the instrument cluster when the e-torque kicks in? I’m ashamed to admit I’ve only glanced at the owner’s manual, but I can’t remember seeing anything about e-torque activation indicators.I will follow up after the oil change in the next week or so. Thanks.

    2022 Ram 1500 Throttle/downshifting issues

    My dealer has been pretty good in the past, with a couple of exceptions. My service write is a a car guy and pretty knowledgeable. I’ve known him for seven years and three vehicles. I am taking it in for an oil change soon, and I plan to speak with him about it again. I don’t think it is the...

    2022 Ram 1500 Throttle/downshifting issues

    My 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.7L engine has some quirks that affect drivability. I bought the truck with less than 1100 miles on it last summer. When taking off, there is sometimes a slight lag in throttle response, similar to a bad accelerator pump (if anyone reading this is old enough to...

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    Google how to calculate payload, towing capacity, and tongue weight. There is quite a bit of information online. Payload and towing capacity are separate things. The tongue weight of your trailer (usually figured as being about 10% of the trailer weight) comes directly off your payload. I have a...

    Roll up tonneau cover suggestions

    After much research, I bought a Peragon and have regretted it. I had a Mopar fold up on my Gladiator and wish I had opted for one of those again. You do lose some visibility out of the back window, but that was never an issue for me, especially with the rear view camera. My issues with the...

    Options for towing

    That makes sense. However, my truck got 21mpg driving to the coast few weeks ago, and a little over 20 coming back, both times going through Barstow. That was running 70 most of the time. I was really happy. The Gladiator would have done 24-25 at best, and towing only got 2-3 mpg more than the...

    Options for towing

    Last summer I traded in my 2021 Diesel Gladiator Rubicon, that I ordered new, for a used (1200 mile) 2022 RAM 1500 Lariat 4x4 with the 5.7 E-torque and 3.92 gears. In August we drove it to Ouray, CO via Dolores, pulling our travel trailer that weighs around 6000lbs fully loaded and my dirt bike...

    2022 Laramie high country towing report

    It is my intention to buy a tongue weight scale. I meant to buy one when I bought the Gladiator but it worked well enough that I put it off. They are not that expensive and it is always good to know exactly what you have, and are dealing with. The Laramie is good enough as it is, but I prefer to...

    2022 Laramie high country towing report

    I agree with you. The problem I am having is that the hitch requires almost no preload to level the rig. When I return to our winter home I am going to hook everything up and take some measurements on the slab beside my RV garage. It is level and has a full hookup. However, with minimum pre-load...

    2022 Laramie high country towing report

    Also, I need to correct a typo on my initial post. The gearing is 3.92, not 3.91. Old gear ratios die hard.

    2022 Laramie high country towing report

    It’s apart and stowed in its’ bag right now. I installed and adjusted it according to the instructions that came with it, which is basically the same way it was installed on my Gladiator. One difference is in the installed height of the hitch on the Laramie is much lower than the Gladiator...

    2022 Laramie high country towing report

    Several people have posted towing reports, so I thought I’d throw in my recent trip experience. My trailer is a 22 foot Rockwood with a listed weight of just under 5,000lbs. With our gear, two propane tanks, and my KTM 350 EXC hanging off the back, I’d say it weighs around 5700-5800lbs. My...

    It will void your warranty if your dealer installs a Mopar limited slip

    I’ve had limited slip or lockers in all my 4x4’s since 2000. They can really save your bacon when you need them, and if you understand how they work.

    It will void your warranty if your dealer installs a Mopar limited slip

    The LS differential will have no effect on the gear ratio. It is simply a part you bolt on the ring gear carrier to replace the standard spider gears that come with the stock unit. Anti-spin may be different, I don‘t know. It is possible that AS units have a “pulse wheel” like some anti-lock...

    It will void your warranty if your dealer installs a Mopar limited slip

    Thanks for everyone’s responses. I finally talked to someone in Mopar Customer Service and she said the the part should be covered under Mopar’s replacement part warranty which would also cover the labor to replace a defective part. Not the same as the OEM warranty on the original part, but...

    It will void your warranty if your dealer installs a Mopar limited slip

    Brian 42, thanks for your response and post. You stated that “your MaxCare ESP says that anything not not authorized by FCA is not covered but that any FCA mechanical or accessory part installed by an authorized dealer is covered.” I’m not sure what MaxCare ESP stands for (extended service...

    It will void your warranty if your dealer installs a Mopar limited slip

    I recently purchased a used 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 from the same dealer I have purchased two other new Jeeps (‘17 Rubincon Unlimited, ‘21 Gladiator Rubicon diesel) from in the last six years. This truck had only 1200 miles on it when I bought it and was like new, except for some small dings...
