    Does A New 6.4 Have Special break in Oil?

    It's very simple to have an engine last many miles. . Do what eh owners manual says. NO ONE knows better, but many think they do. Driving MOPARS (many of therm) for many years and no break-in oil. Most do have a mileage brea-in required. Not sure if either of these fits your engine...

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    The Hurricane engine has been in production for about 3 years now, many sold in Europe and U S (in the large Jeeps) and will go into the 1500 pickups in 2024. Not sure about the larger trucks. 2024 is a major change like in 2019 so I'm waiting until '24 to trade in my '19 Longhorn

    First Oil Change Recommendations

    No one knows the engine better and how to maintain it than the engineers that designed and tested it. But people will listen to their shade tree mechanics over them. Tour a factory someday with an owners group and at the end an engineer will come out to answer questions. Many on different...

    MPG ECONOMY

    I have a 2019 with 3.92 and get the same mileage you do in town, and about 18 on the hwy at 80. (No mountains and head winds). Sitting in our little shack of a bar in Da Nang circa 1967, sucking down beers and waiting for our overhead time to return to our carrier when a Chief sit down beside...

    Best 1/2 ton configuration for towing

    I agree. I have a TT about the same weight, Live in the NM Rockies and do a lot of travelling in the mountains. Been up to over 10K feet with no issues. Tow at 65MPH on interstates, good roads, have not met a mountain I cannot climb easily without losing speed. My 2019 1500 has auto leveling...

    Dealership oil change and Black Widow sighting

    Was the express lube at a Ram dealer or an express lube business. If it was the latter get the hell out of it and never, ever go back to it or another one. That maintenance recommended at that low miles?! Unless you are using poor gas you should never need a fuel system flush. You do not...

    Weight distribution vs air bags

    I have a '19 Longhorn with 4WD and factory air system. I talked to a factory Rep before buying it with the system. The leveling bars seem to way more than they did some years ago (as does everything). I do not use them anymore towing my RV, i do use two sway bars. No doubt they the leveling...

    How long does the factory NAV last

    Nav lasts forever. I find it accurate on 5 straight Chrysler products from 300C's to pickups. Some people use phones, but I have a large screen and prefer it. Since we spend tax dollars on everything but roads nothing changes very often, and you can get updates
