    New owner of a 2020 RAM with 212k…Best preventative maintenance tips?

    Yes that’s what I hear about Woolwax. I coated my old truck but ended up not driving it in the winter anyway so this will be my first real test of the product in the winter. Transmission fluid looked great on the stick. I plan to change that at some point and work my way through all the other...

    How many oz do you recommend running of the lubegard biotech? Regular bottle says it’s 15 ounce. If you go with the commercial/heavy duty dose looks like its 3 oz per qt which for our trucks would be 21 oz?

    Excellent, thanks Marshall and Burla! Si1 on order and I’ll run that and change the oil 500 miles later with M1 0w30, lubeguard biotech and a 20-820. I’ll just plan to use 0w30 year round as long as the truck is sounding good. Just not enough miles to switch oil seasonally. Thanks!

    Excellent! Very comprehensive answer to my questions. For the price I’m leaning towards M1 esp 0w30 with lubeguard biotech. A couple new questions come up: 1. It’s possible I will only drive this truck 5,000 miles a year. Not a main driver. Will the 0w30 still work in the summer if I still...

    The title and the car check revealed it was owned by Emkay, a fleet leasing company based in Chicago. So apparently this was a fleet lease truck. There’s very little wear on seat, none on floor. The only thing that has some visible wear is the steering wheel. I got myself a RP 20-820 filter...

    2020 ram exhaust manifold bolts preventative maintenance ?

    So is the idea you pull them off after they’ve warped a little and they just stay in that shape the rest of the life of the truck?

    Thanks everyone for the reply’s. Has anyone on this forum used Woolwax? This is my second truck I’ve undercoated with it and if you live in the rust belt Woolwax or Fluid Film is worth its weight in gold. I’ve been doing a lot of reading in the oil threads. I plan to use a RP20-820. I’m a...

    2020 ram exhaust manifold bolts preventative maintenance ?

    I am wondering the same thing with my 2020 Ram. Has anyone had any success swapping them out with a better bolt and maybe some anti-seize before there is a problem?

    Some photos to show how clean this 212k mile rig is. Last 2 photos are after undercoating with lanolin based “Woolwax” a couple weeks ago. Hope to keep this truck rust-free, even up in Michigan!

    New owner of a 2020 RAM with 212k…Best preventative maintenance tips?

    I am a first time Ram owner. I bought a 2020 Ram 1500 with 212k miles that is nearly perfect. By looking and driving it I would say less than 50k. When I bought it I had a theory that it was towed by an RV because the engine hours said 622 idle and 1008 drive. I have since researched and it...
