    In shock and a migrane!!

    Well, A good conversation, if nothing more at least we are getting people to "Think" why the mileage is what it is.. I don't think anyone should be disappointed really, you did buy a truck.. That is like someone complaining about gas vehicles when they drive a tesla, is recharged by a coal...

    In shock and a migrane!!

    I think this topic is a Trolls dream.. I mean really, we are driving a truck, it has about the same aerodynamic signature as a brick! then people add a lift kit (why?) or huge tires to a truck that will never leave the pavement.. Or best yet, put a lift on the front only and then complain about...

    Disappointing MPG

    Well, If anyone claims a gasser has better fuel efficiency than a diesel just has no "real" clue... A diesel burns fuel far more efficiently than a gas engine.. Second as another poster explained, it has alot to do with what terrain your driving, the transmission, the axle gears, fuel quality...

    I don't trust dealers, I took my dually in for the airbag recall and they scratched up my dash.. it was considered minor cosmetic.. My truck is not "Ahem" stock, so that is another issue.. I have a manual coming tomorrow, I will sort it out.. Alot of guys are complaining about this and all the...

    Discreet protection from deer...

    You can get them here: https://www.buckstopinc.com I designed the first one called the "Outback" on my 2001 Ram 2500, I saw the bumpers on the Buckstop web page but didn't like the design, so I knocked up a design on CAD and sent it to them, they took my design, did a few improvements and sent...

    Throttle Troubles Worsening

    Is your truck a "fly by wire" truck? That is does it have a real throttle cable or is it an electronic pedal? I would undo all my electrical connectors and re-plug them,, while you have them apart, put some dielectric grease in there. Here is what I use, its the best out there...

    Anyone else think their 4th Gen is a Lemon?

    Hmmm, Well, I will chime in. I have been a blue oval guy most my life with a few exceptions (1970 Olds 442) I actually had a Chevy once, had that POS crushed too.. My friends have GM's, and they all complain about moisture in the headlights or Transmission problems. Have you ever noticed when...

    Ordered a 2022 Limited Ram 4x4 3500. As a temporary truck!

    83K? I would rather buy a house, at least it will still be here in 30 years and will increase in value.. No I had a hard enough time justifying paying 50k on my 5th Gen Cummins 4x4 crew, but I needed to scale down from the dually and this truck is better performing.. Never could understand how...

    2019 Ram 6.7 using oil in between changes

    True, I changed my oil before driving down to Houston, round trip was about 3k miles.. As soon as I got back I got the reminder, my oil is fine. I was not hauling anything on this trip btw..

    2019 Ram 6.7 using oil in between changes

    Yes Sir, Its just precautionary, the idea is when you fill the oil it has to drain through the top of the engine into the pan, they just want you to have time for that to happen. If you overfill it, it won't necessarily show up on your stick right away, waiting the time will give it a chance...

    2019 Ram 6.7 using oil in between changes

    Wow, someone is really hurt, it shows in how insulted your feelings are.. No one asked for your fantasy world input, hell you cannot even put together a semi coherent rant, and when you think you do you get all the aspects of what you think you read wrong. Factual, yeah I have had a storied...
