    This MPG is why I bought the 3.21

    Are either truck equipped with the air suspension? On my Ram 1500, '15 5.7L QC, AT tires, canvas bed cover, Corsa exhaust, 33 gal tank, get just or a bit over 23 MPG on the highway, and as much as 16 MPG local, but rarely as I like driving :) With the air ride lowering at highway speeds...

    Best Battery brands?

    I have an Interstate now that replaced the OE Battery (from 2015, OE battery only lasted about 42 months). The Interstate was a quick easy replacement. If I had more time, I likely would have tracked down an Deka (East Penn Manufacturing) as I have used those for decades and always found them...

    Chrysler 300s, thought?

    My son (well maybe I do since I signed the loan) has a 2018 300S but with the 6 cyl. I really like it, looks pretty sharp, comfy on the highway, gets decent MPG's, and scoots along pretty well (added a Peddle Commander & CAI). It's also AWD so is pretty fun to drive in the snow, 4-wheel drifts...

    My dealers oil change dumbfounded me.

    LOL - My Daughter has a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, when she took it in to the Dealer for the 1st service/oil change the Service Rep tried to tell her that Subaru designs their new motors to ONLY use full-synthetic and tried to get her to accept that and the nearly double cost over a synthetic-blend...

    Gas tank strap recall

    Yes, on my 2015 Ram 1500 QC Sport. Over Memorial Day I was up in the Adirondacks and had the front strap fail (popped at the mount), with a full 33 gals of fuel on-board. Luckily there is a Ram Dealer only 20 miles away, drove there Friday afternoon (before Memorial weekend) not expecting much...

    Factory jack enhancements?

    Travel necessities for me: Craftsman Floor Jack (in plastic carry box) Milwaukee battery impact gun 20 lb. CO2 Tank for air needs I have used the Uconnect help button only once, was in the middle of now-place WV and got a flat. Got the tire changed to the temp spare (why is a full size space...

    Corsa exhaust

    Same here, my neighbors use my truck starting in the morning as their Alarm Clock :) The Corsa does sound a bit loud on cold starts, but once it warms a bit it quiets down to near stock. No drone at any speed on mine and at highway speed is as quiet as stock. I suspect there has been some...

    New RAM owner. Need exhaust input please

    Lots of options, even more opinions on exhaust for the Ram. I went with a Corsa system. A bit pricey, but in my case worth the cost. The Corsa is built with higher end materials so it should last a long time, and saves a LOT of weight over the OE Sport exhaust I had. Absolutely NO drone in...

    Looking to buy..

    Nice truck. I have a pretty loaded '15 Sport that I bought new, it was a special order that the buyer walked from at delivery so I got a nice deal. Have 65k miles on it now and it really still looks/drive like new with no issues. May look to sell it and get a new '21 model, so nice to see...

    Multi-function tailgate?

    Wow, those racks are nice! Actually saw a Ram this weekend with a Kayak hung on each side and a top box. Nice setup. Be nice if they had a canvas cover that went over that bar setup also.

    Alpharex NOVA headlights installed and review.

    Hmm, nice upgrade! Have you noticed any increase in on-coming cars flashing high-beams at you? Wondering how bright these are to head-on traffic? And, are these adjustable, can be aimed easily? TIA

    Head to get new RAM towed

    I don't suppose when you tried to go into reverse you had the Driver door open? I ask because it is supposed to do that, and the "R" will flash. When I got my '15 Ram is DIDN'T do this, but then there was a stupid flash update that will not let you go into reverse with the door open - another...

    To Keep or Not, That is the Question?

    Yea, I'm pretty comfortable financially, that's really a small part of a decision to trade up to a new Truck. It would be nice to bank the monthly payment, or help my kids cover student loans or something like that. My concern is IF I keep my '15, will it turn into a money pit of repairs as it...

    To Keep or Not, That is the Question?

    Yea, that's probably the best route. I've been paying $800/mo on this one to pay it off early, be nice to have that payment free for other "Stuff" :) If I keep the Ram, I may look at adding a small sporty car to play with on weekends!

    To Keep or Not, That is the Question?

    I have a '15 Ram Sport that I really like. It's the first vehicle in 20+ years that I have kept for more than 3 years - BUT - I'm at a point where I am debating on getting a new Truck. I have the Mopar Warranty good until 84K miles, and am at 58K mile now. I will also pay this one off this...

    Can’t keep a set of tires

    Interesting problem, I have a '15 1500 and am on my 3rd set of tires in 50k miles. Even with frequent rotating the front end seems to eat tires. Have had alignment checked and all good. I do have the Air Suspension, and wonder if that may be the real factor in eating tires. With the...

    Alignment issue

    Hmm, Interesting info here. I am on my 3rd set of tires now with only 56k miles, with rotation about every 5k miles. The OE tires made it to just about 30K miles, 2nd set made it to 56K. New set installed this weekend, and were pro-rated by Firestone as the tires have a 55k treadlife warranty...

    Roll Up Tonneau Covers vs Foldable/Hard Bed Covers?

    I have a Pace Edwards roll up, mostly because it was the only one I could find that had side rails to mount a rack over the cover. Really liked this setup, but now after about 4 yrs, it is a struggle to open/roll the cover fully open. I don't really open the cover that much so it has gotten...

    What 55 mph does for gas mileage

    A lot of interesting MPG comments here. My '15 has the air ride system, so at 62-65 MPH the truck lowers in Aero mode (drops 0.6" from Normal height) which seems to get me at least another 2-3 MPG at a steady cruise. So for me, I get better mileage above 55 on the highway, not to mention I...

    Wild air dam claims

    I have OE AirRide that can lower the truck at 65+, I have check with this deactivated and the lower setting at highway has a positive impact on MPG, at about 2 MPG at speed (according to the on-board computer). Tough to really test this at speed though to validate, but IMO the lower the Ram is...

    what to do when battery in key fob dies

    Asked my service guy at dealer about this when I bought my '15. You can use the dead remote, just has to be right against the start button and it will work. I also keep a bulk pack of those CR batteries around, and change them in all of my remotes at yearly inspection time, so I should...

    R1 Concepts brakes at Got Exhaust -STOP in for savings

    How do the R1 bake kits compare to the EBC S3 kits? Looking to do mine now (all 4 corners), and looking for pricing & suggestion between these (or other better options). Got close to 50k on the OE brakes so time for replace/upgrade! 2015 Ram 1500/5.7l/4x4 - Little towing (under 3k lbs) and no...

    Muffler shopping is beyond killing me

    I totally get the love for Flowmaster, its a good easy bolt on mod to the OE exhaust. But, every flowmaster I have had (including their pipes) have rusted to needing replacement within 2 yrs. Now, I live in PA and they use a LOT of salt on the roads every winter so if you live in a warmer area...

    Just noticed the 2018 Sport has a dial shifter...

    Actually, the opposite has been found on some recent reviews of the '19 Durango R/T. It is actually noticeably quicker when left in auto rather than manually shifting the 8-spd. Oh, the Durango does have the center shifter (no dial) and paddles to manual shift. It's like Dodge can't make up...

    Was I ripped off? Stainless Exhaust looks awfully old for 2 months!

    I'd say the kit you bought really is only partially stainless, Tips and muffler, and not the connector pipes. I have a Corsa system on my Ram, been on for 2.5 yrs now and thru 2 PA/NY winters and is still pretty clean like new. I know for sure my system is entirely 304 stainless (including the...
