    Email from Ram, Triggered Malfunction Powertrain Indicator Light

    This wasn't phishing. I got the same notifications and they were from Ram... I think they were having issues with their alert system. I am also getting the malfunction indicator light error from time to time. I thought it was from me adding the Crux camera interface to my radio on my 17 Power...

    Hemi 6.4, gasoline. 87 or 89.

    Doesn’t anyone read the manual anymore? As the others have stated, 87 ok 89 recommended. I have run both in the 2013 5.7 1500 I had and now the 2017 6.4 in my power wagon. I’ve seen a slight increase .5mpg in fuel economy using 89 on road trips. In town I use 87. Now, if you can get ethanol...

    New member with a question

    I measured my garage door. It’s hard to get the highest point of my truck against the opening, but 80 3/4 to 81 is what I have. You should be good I’d you’re close to those numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New member with a question

    I have a stock 17 and it fits in my garage. That was the first thing I checked, before we bought the house last year. I can measure mine, but like others have said if you are serious, have them let you test fit it at your house. You’ll need a good footer in the front to fit it all the way as...

    37's and 3.21. Here I go again...

    You better change your gearing. I had a 13 with 3.21 and the 8 speed, all stock. I cannot imagine putting 37s on it that way. If you tow with it, you’ll even have more issues. Heck, if I decide to put 37s on my power wagon with 4.10s; I’d probably have to re-gear too. Sent from my iPhone...

    Fuel Mileage Chip

    Mine was a 4x4 also. Laramie. 65 is when I got the best mileage. I live close to Texas and their speed limits are 75. I’d drop to around 17 going that speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel Mileage Chip

    The 2013 5.7 I had got excellent mileage on the highway, 17-19, if the wind wasn’t blowing (rare). 12 - 13 in town. Towing 9-10. I had the 8 speed. All stock. With 3.21 gearing. What are you getting? Just curious. Now I have a power wagon and don’t care about MPG. Lol Sent from my iPhone...

    bed cover recommendation

    Peragon or retrax. I had the peragon on my 1500 Laramie and now the retrax on my power wagon. The peragon is easy to remove if you need to load something large. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Let's see your tonneau covers, pickup covers, camper shells, etc.

    I looked as the BakFlip, but I decided against it because of having to stay against the back of the cab if I needed to move be something big. I sacrificed on the space the canister takes up, but so far I haven’t needed it. Especially since the Rambox comes with a bed extender. Sent from my...

    Is it normal that after a new set of Lifters is installed the Heni 5.7 keeps smoking?

    Keep an eye on it. If that’s from the repair work you should be good after a week of driving when it’s burned off. If it’s staying wet then I’d take it back. Something isn’t sealed right. I cannot where the oils filter is in relation to your picture. I’d get under the truck and make sure it’s...

    5.7 Hemi VS 6.4 Hemi...

    I had bucket seats in my 13 Laramie with the huge center console and really liked it. However, I much prefer the seats in my power wagon. Having the option to add a 6th person has already come in handy. You’re not losing too much storage either. I will probably never have bucket seats again. I...

    It would be a waste I’m my opinion. The 6.4 is not a performance engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5.7 Hemi VS 6.4 Hemi...

    I went from a 2013 1500 5.7 Laramie to a 17 Power Wagon (98% fully loaded). It’s a flat out awesome truck. I really enjoy the 6.4. You said you’re looking at Power Wagons. If so, don’t worry about the gear ratio. They all come with 4.10. If you decide to get a non-power wagon 2500 then I’d...

    Frusteration with truck being in the shop

    I have a 17 with almost 21k miles. I definitely don’t have this issue (knock on wood). I’m having a hard time believing you’ve had 1-2 bad transmissions. They need to figure out what’s making them go Bad. This is definitely an awesome truck. It sounds like you just got a bad Apple.

    Ram trucks arent what they used to be.

    You do know that they will pull to the right a little, right? I’m pretty sure that’s the norm (maybe the law) in case you fell asleep at the wheel you are less likely to hit oncoming traffic. Every alignment I’ve had has been this way. I’m on my third dodge/Ram. 2002 Dodge 1500 Quad Cab 4.7 2wd...

    Tick, Tick on Cold startup

    I doubt yours is a broken bolt. I’m fairly certain they fixed the issues in the 16 or later models. I have a 17 Power Wagon that ticks 2-3 seconds at startup. It’s the nature of the hemi. I had. 13 Laramie 5.7 Hemi before this one and I did have a broken manifold bolt. The sounds are similar...

    Do any of you miss your Cummins?

    89 is recommended and 87 is acceptable. The 5.7 (at least the 13 that I had) was the same way. I use 87 in my 6.4 for daily use. When I’m towing I use 89. Supposedly you get your full hp with 89; The computer detunes the truck when using 87 to prevent pinging.

    Do any of you miss your Cummins?

    I disagree on the oil changes being the same, if you look for deals. I always buy service conracts from the dealer. I just got my second (out of four total) oil / wheel rotations on my 17 Power Wagon. I paid $100 plus tax for the contract. $25 per visit. Someone is losing money on that deal and...

    Fuel Mileage Honesty

    That is exactly my reasoning. My wife has a Nissan Cube, which we’ll drive in town. We take my power wagon on road trips. I feel safer with my family in there instead of her car. I didn’t buy wagon for MPG.

    Worse mileage towing with 6.4 2500, than 5.7 1500?

    I have a 17 power wagon (4.10 gearing). My prior truck was a 13 Laramie 4x4 1500 5.7 with the 8 speed and 3.21 gearing. Towing my UTV on my utility trailer now with the Wagon, I get the exact same mileage. I get about 9. The 1500 obviously got better mileage empty on the highway, but not towing...

    2018 PW Recent additions and malfunctions

    I’d take your truck in and let the dealer look at the antennna. My 13 Ram 1500 would do that frequently when traveling. A new antenna fixed it. My 17 Power Wagon is starting to cut out now. When I get my truck in again I’ll have them look at my antenna. As for the amp power steps they are...

    Three years of weather tech. These pictures are from my 13 1500 Crew Cab that I traded in. I was trying to sell it first.

    17 PW Laramies??

    Your post is what I've been looking for. Someone that tows a toy hauler with their power wagon. I have a power wagon on order. I plan on getting a half-ton compatible toy hauler after this is paid off. How much does your toy hauler weigh? Is it a bumper pull?
