    Change Hemi oil without soaking front axle shaft

    Gotta ask: how do you pro's remove the oil filter during an oil change? It seems right above the front axle and seems ready to soak the CV boot fast.

    Alternate Head Unit replacement for UConnect 2

    Has anyone found a replacement for the Uconnect 2 head unit? Looking for something not factory in case this one fails--so expensive to buy a factory replacement. Does a replacement still work with tailgate camera and does it offer touch screen replacement for the dashknobs?

    Better mileage with a 3.92

    I bought the 2021 Hemi with 3.92 towing gear. I live in Flat Illinois. I can get 30+ mpg once up to speed and warmed up. How? Hemi's got a lot more power than my old Chevy V6. Once in cylinder deactivation mode, that powerful hemi can crest a small rise easy, thanks to the 3.92 gearing...

    Been driving and enjoying my '021 Ram Classic. It threw a frequent error code, claiming the transfer case clutch pack was energized. Factory Master mechanic found a loose, getting looser ground strap forward of the starter and just plain hidden by other stuff, like the shafts. Once it got...

    CarComplaints.com lists our Ram trucks as halfway reliable. Our trucks got TotYear awards. How many other owners find your recent purchase full of problems? Most U.S. states have lemon laws. How many of you have had your investment in the shop for the same issue multiple times with no...

    Parking brake settings

    My 2021 has a loose parking brake set up: pedal to the metal and too little grab when on a hil. Who out there adjusts your own emergency brakes? Do the brake cables come off the arm hook sometimes? Had that happen on a Ford. Do you raise a wheel and adjust the starwheel or is there a...

    Serv 4WD intermittent light

    Just bought a 2021 Tradesman and get a Serv 4WD light sometimes. Seems linked to only using the tranny lock and not adding teh parking brake, but that's not absolute. Dealership read codes: wiring issues, including bad ground; module; etc.. Anyone else had this amount of fun in a new truck...

    Best source of repair Info

    Bought a 2021 Trademan a few weeks ago. What's the best source of repair info? I don't see a lot of Clymers and other repair manuals on the shelf at the local autoparts store. Do you buy the factory manual?

    Micro versus Micro 2 and just what's meant by cartridge fuse? Upgraded old Chevy truck to new Ram. I like stocking fuses in the glove box. Ram manual is vague. Who's got the specs? TIA
