    Stellantis’ new Ram pickup is an EV — with a gas-powered generator in case the battery runs out. The end of the Hemi???

    This is the best set up for a truck. It's almost exactly how a train locomotive works. They have diesel engines that turn generators, that make electricity that power the motors on the wheels. And just look at how muck work trains do and how efficiently they do it. This new truck will be...

    Warming up takes too long...

    Mine was deleted for a few years and it would take forever to get warm in winter. Last year I put the emissions back on and this winter it's blowing warm air after driving only 5 minutes. I credit it to several things including increased back pressure from the filters and increased turbo vane...

    Rear seat headrests

    These are not direct replacement. I want to install the headrests in my front seats because they don't have the forward slant. I did this in my crew cab and they're so much better. If the website had pictures I could find them easier. For the center stack, this VIN is equipped with the part...

    Rear seat headrests

    I'm trying to find a part number for the rear seat headrest for a 2019 1500 classic, specifically the black leather one. Also I'm looking for a part number for the center cover (black) between the floor console and the auxiliary switches. There would be a pull out drawer there but this is on...

    2018 RAM 1500 shock replacement mileage?

    I replaced the shocks on my 2500 at 120k miles with Bilstein 4600's and the ride is much smoother. When it's time for my 1500 shocks to be replaced I'll get Bilstein's for that one too. As far as replacement interval, standard recommendation is around 50k miles. But with frequent towing...

    Flicker with LED High Beam

    I would take a different route. When I activated my DRL's I set them to be the turn signals. With the LED bulbs I have installed as the turn signal/marker lights the DRL's are plenty bright. I didn't want to use the headlights for this because of the possible issues with flickering. Just a...

    Fuel economy changing

    My truck is deleted but honestly didn't really make a difference in fuel economy. The biggest change with that was getting rid of the dead peddle. I do have a devise on my engine called a duramilage tuner. I put it on before I deleted the truck and it got me about 3 MPG. I still have it on...

    MPG ECONOMY

    I get 21-22 MPG around town and have averaged as high as 26 MPG highway. I attribute this to having a manual transmission and running stock size Cooper H/T tires. I keep the RPMs low and she chugs along. On the highway I found that setting the cruise at 65 MPH is the way to go. Anything...

    Serp belt replace 6.7

    I have 122k miles on my truck and it's 6 years old. I just replaced my belt, idler and tensioner two weeks ago. The belt still looked new, the tensioner was good and tight and the idler had no play in it. I was really surprised I thought they would've shown a lot more wear. Hopefully these...

    Larger Throttle Body for 5.7 intake manifold?

    Would you happen to have the part numbers for that TB and the adapter?

    Weak Homelink signal?

    I stopped using my home link years ago. It would only work half the time, even sitting directly in front of the door.The actual opener will open it from down the street every time.

    One touch window up and down

    So I've wanted the same thing for my 2 door but I don't think it's possible. I also own a crew cab that does have one touch up and I've noticed two things. First the switches themselves are different as the one touch up switch "clicks" into position when pulled all the way up. The switch on...

    Synthetic Oil

    On my Hemi I run Shell Rotella 5W-20 with a quart of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer and a quart of Motorkote with a Purolator Boss filter. I've had no issues. I might hear a tick for a few seconds at startup if the truck has sat for a few days but that's it. On my Cummins I run Shell Rotella...

    Uh not sure how, try it yourself.

    Fuel economy changing

    I stay between 21-22 MPG mixed driving going back and forth to work. When I take long trips I lock the cruise on 65 and let her go. Anything above 65 and mileage really goes down. At 65 though, I've had the trip computer read over 26 MPG. I didn't do any hand calculations but on that tank I...

    Fuel Additives

    I add a can of Seafoam to my tank every 3 or 4 fill ups. She loves it, I see about 1-2 MPG increase. I also add it to the oil about 500 miles before I change it.

    2021 Ram Warlock

    So the R/T badged trucks was only an appearance package. It had the hood with the fake vents, dual exhaust, body colored bumpers and the projector/led lights (plus the R/T badge). So I made my own. When I purchased my 2019 1500 regular cab short bed 2WD with the Hemi, it came with the body...

    One more year for the "Classic"

    I think it's a smart move selling two different models at the same time. Think about it, GM has been doing almost the same thing for years, selling the Silverado and Sierra. Besides a few options THEY'RE THE SAME DAMN TRUCK! Ram is offering two completely different models that have a lot more...

    Does anyone even have the seats in the back down anymore?

    So the whole project took an afternoon, without planning it out. I just drank a few beers and measured and cut as I went. I got the speaker box felt from Amazon.

    Does anyone even have the seats in the back down anymore?

    I removed my back seat years ago. I never haul people, just work stuff and my dog. So I built and installed a floor and a back wall. Everything is made of 3/4" plywood. The floor is covered by a black outdoor carpet cut to size. The floor can fold up on both sides to access the under seat...

    What kind of mileage are you getting on your Hemi ?

    I have a 2019 1500 Classic R/T regular cab short bed 2WD with the 345 Hemi and I get between 19 and 20 MPG mixed driving. The manual says to use 89 octane gas, which I did for two tanks. Now I run 88 octane E15. It's about 50 cents less per gallon with no drop in power or MPG's. I could...

    Intake opinions

    I got the MOPAR cold air intake for mine. It's a dry filter and I installed an AEM prefilter over top to keep out the large bullshit. I got the intake on Amazon and I think the quality is excellent. It's made by MOPAR so you know there's not going to be a sacrifice in filtering or flow.
