    Ecodiesel 2500?

    A search didn't turn up a thread on this. If there is one, can someone please direct me to it? Thank you I'm curious, is there a legitimate reason -other than it would eat into 6.4 sales- why RAM doesn't put the 3.0 V6 Ecodiesel in a 2500? It certainly has enough torque at 480lb ft and would be...

    I searched the forums and couldn't find anything. Am I missing something or is the RAMBox option not available using the Build and Price tool on the RAM website?

    Pentastar 3.6 Travel Trailer Tow

    I see this question asked occasionally about towing with the 3.6 Pentastar and thought I'd take a moment to tell my first experience with towing a travel trailer with my 2016 1500 Pentastar 3.6 QC, 3.55, 4x4 Big Horn. Unexpectedly, after a fantastic road trip with our grandkids this summer...

    Dealer accessory prices

    Hey folks, just wanted to pass along a couple of positive experiences I had over the last two weeks. I purchased a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn, QC, 3.6, 4x4 in December.

    5.7 w/Warranty or ED with 8/125

    An interesting consideration I've been presented. It's possible we may be getting back into the RV lifestyle and will have to get a new truck to properly tow a Rockwood Micro-Lite 2509S (5075lbs), or Flagstaff 25BRDS (Same trailer). Our choices will be a 5.7 V8 w/3.55's or EcoDiesel w/3.92's...

    How much weight before engaging tow/haul mode

    Hey, folks, I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer. If this has been discussed please direct me to the correct thread. Thanks. 2016 1500 Big Horn, Quad Cab, 3.6L Pentastar, 3.55 gears. I can't foresee a circumstance where I'd need to use it as the most I plan to carry in my bed...

    IPOD classic and Repeat

    I'm currently using an iPod Classic with an 8.4A stereo in a 2016 Big Horn Quad Cab. When playing an album at the end the album repeats. I've set the "repeat" option on the iPod to off but as soon as an album starts playing on the stereo it changes the repeat option to "all". Anyone know if...

    New 1500 Quad 750 miles

    Hey folks, picked up a new, to me, 2016 RAM 1500 quad cab on Thursday 12/1/2016. I thought I'd post up something about my first experience as I'm coming from a 2002 Ford F150 XLT/FX4 with 5.4 V8. It was a very good vehicle and treated me well over 12 years and 160,000 miles. That said, this...

    8.4A/RA3 to 8.4NA/RA4 worthwhile? My scenario

    Ok, lemme pose a scenario for consideration. I read through a couple of threads about the difference between the 8.4A and the 8.4AN. Essentially, 3D mapping, 16GB of storage and HD FM radio are the differences. Here's what I'm thinking, please let me know if there's any validity to my thought...

    Hey folks. Came across the following information in another thread while doing some research on using an SD card for storing/playing music on the 8.4A and/or 8.4AN radios.

    Tie Rod End Inspection/Replacement

    Hey folks. Looks like I'll be picking up a 2016 1500 Big Horn Quad Cab 4x4 next week. In looking through the service intervals in the owners manual tonight I noticed they call for an inspection of the Tie Rod ends every 20,000 miles and to replace if necessary. I'm curious if this is a common...

    MP3 Limit

    Hey folks, looks like I'll be picking up a 2016 1500 Big Horn, Quad Cab with the 8.4A radio next week. In browsing the owners manual and the audio manuals I couldn't find an answer. Is there a limit to how many songs an 8.4A radio will recognize? I know on a Garmin Zumo GPS once you get past, I...

    12-13% off MSRP before rebates

    OK, hoping folks could help out here. I learned something the other day I wasn't aware of. I was looking at a vehicle in North Carolina. They have a $2000 southeast rebate, whereas where I live in the northeast it's only $1000. Or something on that order, my numbers may be a bit skewed. In...

    Best time for rebate/rebates

    Hey folks, I'm going to be purchasing a RAM 1500 QC sometime in 2017. As my time frame isn't firm, and I can be very flexible, is there a particular month where rebates are typically better than others? I recall reading a thread somewhere that March is Ram Truck month, or something like that...

    41K Tracking code?

    In looking at a local dealers website tonight, in their "Manufacturer Offers" section they had a $2000 rebate for vehicles with a **41K** Tracking Code. Does anyone know what that is? And how someone, other than the dealer, would know what vehicle would have this code? Is it possible this is a...

    2014 1500 NAV Map Updates

    Hi folks. I'm going up Monday to make the final go/no-go on a 2014 1500 QC. The unit has NAV and I told the salesperson the truck HAS TO have the most up to date maps available as I'm not interested in ponying up $150 for the current maps. I have two questions I was hoping you could help with...

    Truxedo Luggage Saddlebag

    Anyone have any experience with the Truxedo Luggage Saddlebag? Looks like they would lose shape with any kind of weight in them. Although, they're cheap enough where you could put a couple of them in the bed. https://youtu.be/458A7UmGlSw Truck Luggage

    Pentastar Hauling MPG

    Based on a discussion in another forum regarding the Pentastar vs EcoDiesel and MPG/Cost, I am rethinking my strategy on my next truck. It will be a RAM, for sure. The ride is too good to give up. My truck is used primarily for around town use and travel with a motorcycle in the bed. I rarely...

    High 32 MPG ED?

    Just watched this vid from The Fast Lane Truck. 2wd Ram 1500 Ecodiesel getting high 32 MPG. Can the ED owners confirm the accuracy of this? Also, as I'm interested in comparing apples to apples, can 4wd ED owners chime in on their ED MPG? Supposedly, they added about 400+ pounds to the bed to...
