    My Ram is gone

    I had a 96 OJ White Bronco I sold early 2000s. Great vehicle but wished it had the 300 six or 351 instead of the 302.

    What's Your Opinion?

    Offer a tricked out Yellowstone addition for a price no one can refuse. When a person goes to take delivery, must be willing to be branded on their chest.

    need help in choosing new tires.

    I recently put a set of these Generals on my 2016 Ram 4x4. LT's. Very pleased so far especially when driving off road and not having to worry about flats. https://generaltire.com/tires/light-trucksuv/grabber-atx

    3.6 Pentastar Issues Thread

    Thanks. I've experienced head gasket issues with a Mazda B2600i truck. The symptoms were what you said. Comparing it to my wife's 4Runner. At 100k miles the coolant level in the overflow tank never changed. Maybe the tank in the 4Runner is sealed. And maybe that is what happened to my Ram. Will...

    3.6 Pentastar Issues Thread

    51k miles. Runs soooo smooth BUT, the other day while doing one of my routine checks under the hood, I pulled the coolant overflow tank dip stick out and it was dry. I added a quart of 50/50 coolant that brought the level up. This really concerns me. I will be watching the level very closely and...

    I was warned not to buy a Ram truck because of the transmission

    2016 Ram Big Horn 4x4 with the Pentastar, 51k miles. One issue I'm concerned about and thought about starting a new post. I recently checked the fluid level in the coolant over flow tank. The level stick was dry. I added half a gallon of 50/50 and will be closely monitoring it. This has me...

    New Battery

    I recently put one of these in my 2016 Ram. The reason? The O'Reilly battery in my 98 Dakota lasted over 9 years and I replaced it with the same type of battery I installed 9 years ago...

    Oh no, tires again!

    On my 2016 RAM 1500 4x4, I just replaced the original Goodyears after 50k miles with General Grabber ATX LT D rated. One of the Goodyear tires was damaged after running over something on the interstate a couple of years ago. Just a few months ago another one was sliced by a rock but probably my...

    Big Horn with Options.....good deal?

    2016 Ram with Big Horn package here, no regrets what so ever. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought how great a heated steering wheel is on cold winter mornings.

    LT Tires on 20" OE wheels - pressures, clearance, traction, mileage, ride

    I was seriously considering Cooper Discoverer A/T at Wal-Mart since I just put a set on the wife's 4Runner and the price was hard to beat. And I like tread pattern. But low and behold Wal-Mart jacked the on line price up $50.

    LT Tires on 20" OE wheels - pressures, clearance, traction, mileage, ride

    TTT with this thread. Have almost 50k on the OEM tires on my 2016 RAM 1500 v6 4x4. Considering a new set of General Grabber ATX LT275 60 20. One of the SRAs was ruined after running over an unknown object on the interstate and another went flat after a sharp rock sliced the tire. But I take some...

    AC stays engaged all the time

    Same issue here. Had to be cold before the compressor would not engage as in the photos. Been thinking about adding a toggle switch for the power wire to the compressor. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/reliability-durability-of-the-v6.113718/page-3#post-1638490

    Eco diesel just blew up at 48k miles

    As said already, sorry to hear this. Too late for this post but I was going to suggest having the truck towed and parked somewhere of high visibility with permission. Hang a large sign on the truck with the name of the dealership on the sign. Then put lemons all over the truck. I’ve never done...

    2019 Classic 5.7 or 3.6?

    Getting close to 44k miles on my Big Horn 2016 Ram 1500 4x4 v6 with 3.21. I made a 180 mile round trip once and just to see what I could get out of it, I filled up before and after the trip. Calculated 26 mpg. But I was on mostly 2 lane highways, 55 to 60 mph. I have the optional 32 gallon...

    INFO: FoTa 18.11.07 SW Update 13-17 RA3/Vp3-NA & Ra4 VP4-NA

    I just had the same thing happen. I called FCA support twice. Second call I was told I would need to take my Ram to a dealer so the radio could get a hard reset. I followed the instructions on the display to no avail. But it finally updated.....I think. While traveling home I stopped and...

    Reliability & Durability of the V6?

    Thought I would bring this thread back to the top rather than start a new one. 2016 Ram Big Horn V6 4x4. The AC clutch again. If you look at the attached photos, the one when the outside temp was 60 degrees F, the ac clutch is engaged. When 43 degrees F the ac clutch was not engaged. So...

    Reliability & Durability of the V6?

    Correct, when outside temp was in the low 70s and inside temp set to 70 and vent setting was dash and floor, the ac clutch was engaged even though the display said the ac was off.

    Reliability & Durability of the V6?

    My 2016 big horn 4x4 v6 extended cab with 3.21 axles is at 22k miles. No regrets buying the truck. Does have one oddity, the ac clutch engages even though the display says the ac is off. Not a big deal but wonder. Back to the v6. Very pleased, traded in a 2015 GMC Sierra z71 for the Ram. Why...
