    How long does a 3.6 exhast usually last?

    I have a 2016 with the 3.6 V6 with 134K and the exhaust smells terrible suddenly, and is louder, like an exhaust leak somewhere. Sounds like a tick under the truck. The whole garage smells like burning oil a little bit, but not too bad. I had the oil filter housing replaced last year. Imma...

    I found my window sticker

    This truck was decently equipped for a lower model. It was like $9K total off back then so I got it for about $22K. I was living in Phoenix at the time, so a 2WD was fine, and wasn't making much money back then anyway, so my options were limited. The upgraded door panels with aluminum trim re...

    I need to get my transmission fluid changed, so it can start slipping...

    According to the manual, 120K is the interval to change the fluid, but I've been putting it off becasue I'm neurotic about tranny fluid change causing it to slip. I have 130K on the clock now. Pentastar V6 with the 8 speed that shifts smooth as silk. Supposedly, the debris in there keeps an...

    My 6 year Interstate battery went dead after 2 years

    I had to call AAA to have them install a replacement at work. The old Interstate battery was completely dead. I have sworn by Interstate since the 80's and am wondering if they have cheapened their product to cut costs? maybe I just got a dud. I dont plan on keeping the AAA battery very...

    120K maintenance

    I'm at 122K now on my 3.6 and it looks like I need to change the auto transmision fluid and differential along with an oil change and air filter. I got the spark plugs changed at 100K, so that is done. The manual says to also inspect some of the front suspension and brakes. I got my brakes...

    What does Traction Control actually do?

    What does it actually do, especially on a RWD vehicle that already is limited slip? And why would you ever want to turn it off then? I've had my truck 6 years and never really bothered with it.

    Slight knocking sound on cold startup

    I have a 2016 Ram with the 3.6 with 120K. Recently, there is a slight flapping or light knocking sound coming from under the hood on cold startup. It only lasts about two seconds, then is gone. It runs and drive like it was new, so I'm wondering if it's an exhaust issue, since that all...

    Burning oil smell, no leaks though

    I have a 2016 with the Pentastar with about 113K on the clock. Over the past few months, there has been an increasing burning oil smell, but my oil is never low and there are no leaks. Are there any seals or anything that I should check?

    My blinker light went out and the eVic told me

    One of my rear blinker lights went out and the eVic told me. I was very impressed. I wonder if it senses headlights and other stuff, too?

    Down one quart of oil, then put a quart in it, now it's a quart too full

    I have no clue how I managed to mess this up. I dipped the dipstick twice, and it was down a quart both times, a few days ago. I figured I was burning oil or something so I put another quart in it. Now this morning it is a quart too full, so I need to figure out how to drain one quart. Im...

    Looked at a 2021 GMC Sierra

    I have no particular brand loyalty, so I went looking at a new Sierra last week. It was a beautiful truck with the fire breathing 6.2. Still may go with another RAM, but I like to keep my options open. They also put a 3.0 Diesel in some that makes a ton of torque, but still gets 30MPG as a...

    Horn keeps beeping at me

    I have the 'horn on lock' set to 'off' in the evic, but it's been honking at me every time I lock or unlock the doors and whenever I open the drivers door after I get out after driving it. That usually means there is something it doesn't like, so I checked both doors, the parking break...

    Electric power steering?

    My power steering felt heavy this morning, so I went to check the fluid reservoir. :derp! I'm pretty sure we have electric power steering, but what would make the steering feel heavy, then?

    Misplaced my owners manual, 100K service?

    I took the wallet with the owners manual out of my glove box to free up some room, and I think it's in a box in my garage somewhere. Wasn't there a place to download a .pdf of it? Anyhoo, I'm creeping up on 100K, so I am going to spend some munny on new brakes and tires, plus new plugs and...

    Slight thump coming from under my truck

    2016 Regular cab V6 RWD with 80K. Sometimes, when I turn at low speeds, I hear a small thunk coming from underneath somewhere towards the rear. It's like a muffled pop. I'm guessing it's a bushing somewhere, but wonder if it's a common problem.

    Welp. I need touch up paint

    I knew this dark day would come. Two small but deep scratches in the hood. Down to the bare metal. A rock bounced off of it and then hit the windshield. I have Granite Crystal. Any go-to companies you guys like? Also, I forbid you to move this to the exterior section. it gets more views in...

    2020 Bronco - Wrangler clone?

    https://fordusacars.com/2020-ford-bronco-release-date-and-price/ this vehicle will certainly get here in 2024 as a competitor to the Jeep Gladiator, a pickup based on the Bronco’s closest rival, the Wrangler. Ford has actually made its intent to take on Jeep quite clear, so it’s easy to...

    Steering Column Control Module (Cruise Control)

    Anyone replace theirs to get their cruise control to work. Looks like you have to take the wheel off, but a new one fixes the intermittent cruise control issue to where it won;t turn on.

    Is it Chrysler or the dealer that gives my info to warranty companies?

    I've been spammed ever since I bought my truck 4 years ago by warranty companies, but ever since I paid the truck off, I get 2-3 e-mails per day offering warranties or service contracts. These spam e-mails know what kind of truck I have and often have the VIN. Who betrayed my trust...
