    Transmission Failure - Denied Warranty Claim - Help!

    Get used to Chrysler denying warranty claims. Their warranties mean nothing. Big business (Chrysler) doesn't give a damn about honoring their warranties. Corruption at it's best.

    Rear Window Decals?

    As much as I would like to put a few decals on my truck, I don't because there is always someone who won't like what the decals denote. I can't take the chance of someone damaging my truck. Even up here in N. Idaho there are a few liberals who hate America and think they have the right to...

    Chipmunks in engine bay

    I found a LOT of seeds in the air cleaner box under the filter element. Have no idea how they got in there.

    Mopar Warranty Issues

    Mopar warranties are a joke. They are the biggest scam right after climate change. I will never buy another extended warranty from mopar...or any other car company. Just big business trying to screw over the little guy any chance they get.

    Chrysler Corp (or whatever they are called now) will do everything they can to not honor their extended warranties. They just flat out cancelled mine without any notice. I will NEVER get another extended warranty..........EVER. They are nothing but ripoffs.

    Mopar Denying Covered Repairs on Maximum Care Lifetime Warranty

    Extended warranties are one of the biggest scams going. Very rarely are the worth it. Car companies will try to screw you out of repairing your vehicle every chance they can. Screw the dealerships when it comes to repairs. Find a competent, reliable independent repair shop and give them your...

    Extended Warranty

    Extended warranties are never worth what you pay for them unless you would have a catastrophic engine failure. There are way too many loopholes in these warranties that the corrupt auto makers will use to avoid not paying for repairs.

    Tires past fender flares or even?

    Good advice. Any rocks thrown from your truck's tires can damage other vehicles and YOU are responsible for the damage. In some jurisdictions it is considered a traffic accident (by definition) and YOU will be listed as the person who caused the accident that resulted in damage to another...

    Battery suggestions....

    Original battery (2009) lasted 10 yrs. Was working fine then was slow to start. 8 hrs later on the next start attempt it was dead. Got this battery: Interstate AGM from Costco, Gp H7 (94R), 850 CCA. About $200 out the door. You can definitely hear the difference when starting. Seems like...

    Unable to remove most lugnuts on 2009 Ram

    2-piece nut. Never noticed it before. Ordered a set of solid steel nuts today. These 2-piece nuts should have been a factory recall. What happens when you get a flat 100 miles from nowhere? Your FACTORY lug wrench won't fit and if you call AAA their wrenches probably won't fit either. Thanks...

    Unable to remove most lugnuts on 2009 Ram

    During the past few years more of the lugnuts on my 2009 1500 Ram have been difficult to remove. The factory lug wrench as well as a 7/8" deep socket are now not fitting the lugnuts or just going on maybe half way. They used to fit perfectly. Are these a 2-piece design and the outer "shell" is...

    oil change interval

    Regarding the broken manifold bolts, doesn't bolt companies such as ARP make high strength bolts that would be a cheaper option than headers? The benefits of headers USUALLY won't be noticed until wide open throttle.

    OEM Battery Life

    Went 10 yrs and 4 months (75,000 miles) on the original battery. Once i noticed that it was starting slower than normal it lasted 1 more day. Replaced it with an Interstate AGM battery. I was very surprised to get 10 yrs out of a battery, especially OEM.

    Which RV setup gets the best mileage?

    When towing a 4000# pontoon boat (wt is for boat, motor & trailer) on level ground my mileage goes from 19 to 8-9 mpg. The highest part of the boat is maybe 1' higher than the truck. Truck is a 2009 1500 with the Hemi. Wind resistance is a BIG deal but weight also brings down your mileage. If...

    Oil weight question

    Chrysler engineers could have chosen any weight oil for their engines. They chose 5W-20 as they think (through much R&D) that it will give the best performance. Why would they chose an inferior weight oil? Who am I to say they're wrong? Anyone who says that they get better performance from 5W-30...

    Synthetic or regular oil

    I read a LOT of reports on what type of oil to use on my new (then) 2009 RAM. Decided on synthetic because it works much better in the cold winters. Viscosity is up to you but I have no reason to go against what the factory engineers recommend... 5W-20. I won't use Fram filters. Just heard...

    Oil question

    It always amazes me that there are car & truck owners who think they know more than the oil engineers and factory engine designers when it comes to choosing an oil. For my 2009 Hemi the factory says to use 5W-20 because of the MDS. So that's what I use. What qualifies me to overrule the...

    K&N drop in worth it?

    When I needed an air filter for my 2009 RAM I really liked the idea of a reusable filter. Did a LOT of research and determined that if I wanted to have premature wear on the engine, go with the K&N (or that type of filter). They just don't filter that great. Factory type paper filter works much...

    Substitute tailgate lock for 2009 Ram 1500

    I have a 2009 Ram 1500 and the tailgate does not have a locking handle. From what I understand, the 2009 model didn't come with a lock but the 2010 and newer models did. My question is, being the same generation, will a locking handle from a 2010 and newer model work on a 2009 model? BTW, I...
