    So For All Canadian Owners, and Maybe U.S. Too

    I just bought some MOPAR OAT coolant concentrate for the 2021 Ram 2500. Part number 68163848AB. Amazon wants $37 a jug for 50/50 and $75 for concentrate, the dealer quoted me over the phone $60 for concentrate or $54.32 for 50/50 pre-mix. However by ordering it online through Mopar Canada...

    The Best Arguement for Great Tires

    Not too many words needed. The pictures pretty much tell the story. These were taken at 2:30 in the afternoon. Snowed and rained at 2 in the morning, still no sanding trucks and these are main roads in the County.

    1996 Dodge Ram Service Manual

    I have a copy of the service manual for the 1996 Rams. They are 89 KB so too large to upload directly to this site. I do not use a hosting service or cloud storage, is there a site they can be easily loaded to without an account that could then be linked to here.

    What I Learned Playing With Tire Pressure

    So prior to deciding to buy AlpHaOBD I was messing around trying to see how low I could set my tire pressures without setting off the low tire pressure warning lights. Door sticker for my 18 inch rims and factory Transforce AT tires is 65 rear and 60 front. First off, I have Selectable Tire...

    Dealers are Becoming Pretty Much Useless for Truck Customisation.

    Had the pickup in to the dealer for the tailgate recall. Asked about getting them to turn up the idle 100 rpm. Nope, can't do it. So long and short, the Dealer pretty much can't do anything anymore. Can't have the fogs on with high beam, can't lower the TPMS thresholds so I can run less than 52...

    Increase Hot Idle Speed on 6.4

    My 2021 6.4 idles just above 500 RPM when hot and in neutral or park. I want it to idle higher, as in around 800 RPM, for more oil pressure and so I have more Alternator output while winching. Unlike the 6.7 diesel it does not have the high idle control using the cruise and set buttons. Is...

    For All You Fans Of Oversize Tires

    https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2655074 If you look closely at the end of the video you can see the rotor is still attached to the wheel. Tells me the Bearing and Knuckle let go. Jacked up truck, over size tires, well outboard of stock, may even of had spacers etc. Often drivers can't...

    Warn 16,500 Pound Winch

    For the last couple of years there has been a shortage of these large winches and Warn has not made a run. There are maybe 5 I know of in all of Canada. They were supposed to make a bunch in Dec or January. Does anyone know if they are now available. I have emailed Warn and asked the same...

    Take 2 Minutes and Check Your Fuses

    My wife's 2020 Grand Cherokee was giving her intermitent electrical issues. While I was filling the washer fluid and checking the oil I opened up the fuses block in the engine compartment. Started pressing down lightly on the fuses in there. About half of them seated further and clicked into...

    OEM Mopar Parts Cheaper Than Fram on Amazon

    Don't know if this is true in the states too, but I just ordered OEM air and cabin air filters for less money than Amazon Canada wants for Fram filters or NAPA for Wix. The Mopar Wholesale warehouse is here in Edmonton, a couple of miles from me, so there isn't even any shipping costs and next...

    I Have A new One for You Guys. 2WD/4WD switch

    Was out hunting this past week. It was from -20 to -29 in the mornings, 2021 2500, 6.4 Hemi was parked outside, no in car warmer or block heater. Truck started great, however when cold, from -18 to -24 the 4WD indicator light on the switch would flicker and have a dull light. When it got even...

    Hood Vibration or Lift

    On my 2021 2500, I can see the hood lift when I get passed by a semi headed the other way on a 2 lane highway. First time this happened I pulled over to check that the hodd latch was properly engaged. Everything was buttoned up. I have been reading on another Dodge forum tat this is very common...

    EV

    My neighbor bought an electric car last year. Over the winter he could not drive it to work when it was more than -20 F as he could not make it the 30 miles, takes about an hour during rush hour, to the office. Even at -5 he had to charge it st the office to get home as it is parked outside. Car...

    Who Else is Running a 15,000 LB+ winch

    I have a Smitty Built 17,500 LB winch mounted on my 2500. Real nice looking winch, pulls great but it is a real bear to pull the line out in free wheel. It is so stiff that even in free wheel the electric motor will still reel in and out as long as there isn't much load on the cable. I have had...

    Blind Spot Detection System

    As some of you know, when I ordered my 2021 Laramie, Blind Spot and Cross path Detection were not available due to the chip shortages. I would really like to add it to the truck but despite extensive searches I cannot find much info on retro-fitting these. Does anyone know if it is possible to...

    Extra Fob for 2021 2500 Laramie

    I decided I wanted a couple of extra Fobs for the truck, that way if 4 of us are traveling or hunting together, everyone has their own Fob. Ordered an OEM one off of Ebay because it was about half the Dealer price, also ordered a $24 Chinese knock off. Locksmith spent 2 hours, could not get...

    Oil for the 5.7 Hemi - Mobil1 IS APPROVED

    Every oil thread on here says Mobile 1 does not meet the FIAT MS-6395 Certification for use in the 5.7. I decided to look on the Mobil site. According to that site they do actually meet this spec, so at least for the 5.7 you have Mobil 1 as an option. I could not find one of their oils that says...

    Huge Spread in Service Levels from Auto Locksmiths

    Decided I wanted a couple of spare FOBs for the new truck. I called a couple of local dealerships, new FOB for my 2021 2500 are 200-235 each plus 80 bucks a pop to program them, plus a key cutting charge. Problem is, can't get a spare FOB for at least 3 months. So go on Ebay, find an OEM new...

    They wonder Why we Call Them "Stealerships"

    I have been feeling a bit sorry for my local dealer. With the shortage of stock and people driving way less because of working from home, their business has been off a huge amount. So I have been getting my oil changes done there, and really, not a lot worse than the price of doing it at a lube...

    Weathertec Mud and Rock Flaps For 2021 2500 Laramie

    I thought this install might be of interest to other guys that spend a lot of time on gravel. We all put Mud Flaps on the front and rear to try and reduce flung mud and rocks, but that doesn't stop stuff from getting flung forward by the rear wheels, particularly rocks, that like to chip up the...
