    Current Thoughts on Oil Type for 3.6 Litre Pentastar Engine

    Use any oil that meets the spec noted in your manual. Don't overthink it. When was the last time you heard of an oil related engine failure?

    What strange contraption is this under the rearview mirror housing ?

    Looks like the collision avoidance/lane assist sensor.

    Fuel Tank Size

    Why not measure the dimensions of your tank and compare to something on a local dealer lot?

    Reverse light wire color

    I'm installing a Recon light strip above the bumper and need to tap for reverse light. Does anybody know which wire it is? Thanks in advance!

    Media always plays when I start up.

    I just got my truck and saw an option for that when going thru settings. Give it a try.

    About to order a 2018!! Last minute questions...

    3.21 gears are going to be better for mileage; you can't argue the math on this one. You will love the truck with 3.21s if you don't tow anything heavy. I have and love the Bilstein 5100s on front and rear. Did the switch on a two week old truck. Parts and labor about $800. As for CAI...

    Factory wheel cracked

    I wouldn't be so quick to dump the dealer. I think it's pretty universal in the industry that dealers will not cannibalize a vehicle for parts. They run the risk of causing damage while doing so. They'd have to unmount and mount two wheels, balance them, etc. and couldn't sell or even display...

    Driver door wind noise

    I've heard the same issue on my 2017 Laramie Crew Cab. With the driver's door open there is a seal visible that's at the front edge of the rear door. I've found mine loose several times and reset it. Give that a try.

    Breaking.

    Before going to the dealer I would find a safe place to do 4 or 5 50-0 stops in a row. Sometimes just getting them hot will cure a squeak.

    Laramie Headlights

    Laramie has DRL capability but is not activated in the US. I had the dealer do mine during their pre-delivery service.

    Bilstien Help!

    You raise the front to level the truck. If you raise the back, too, you're putting the rake back in it. If your goal is to raise it so that bigger tires/wheels fit then you may want a spacer of up to 1 inch in the rear. The 5100s can handle that. Any higher and you'll need different shocks. I...

    First time truck owner, your recommendation on maintenance intervals?

    ^^^ I agree. The 1000 or 3000 and even the 5000 mile oil change is old school thinking. Change it when it tells you to. Save the planet.

    Help getting true mileage read

    I think it's a violation of federal law to swap a cluster without doing paperwork to record the actual mileage. It needs to be done by a certified shop and the title to the vehicle will be branded to reflect that the actual mileage differs from that of the odometer. The best way to do it is to...

    Post accident woes

    It depends on who chose the original repair shop. If you did you may have to pursue the recovery. The electrical problems seem more likely to have been caused by the shop not protecting the electronics than by the accident. If the insurer recommended the shop call them and ask for help in...

    New ram owner, slightly put off.

    I, too, am a new owner and will report that I have nothing to report. Just 3500 miles but all is well.

    Catch Can Install *FAIL*

    Sometimes, maybe, but not this time. It's aluminum.

    OPT7 Redline Tailgate Light bar

    Can someone explain how the factory 7 pin plug disconnects from the bumper? I got the Curt plug adapter but couldn't separate the OE plug from the bumper. Thanks in advance!

    2016 Ram 1500 Rear Differential Oil Change

    I'd wonder how he knew it was getting dark. The only way to know that is to drain it out. Unless you have high mileage or tow often I'd consult and follow the manual's schedule. I don't know off hand what the recommended interval is.

    Offroading suspension

    I have the 5100s and they improve the ride. Stiffer but not harsh. I recommend them. Control arms do nothing for the ride. They may be needed if you raise the nose with spacers or 5100s but won't improve the ride.

    New 2017 Dodge Ram Owner Questions

    I'd consider taking it to another dealer with your list of issues and see if they have any better luck.

    Window tint

    My guy said the factory tint is 18%, so 20% will be close enough that you can't tell the difference. I went with 35% so as not to get the attention of the police and to pass inspection, which can be an issue here in PA. He uses Llumar films and has for a long while. They hold up very well.

    Ram mega cabs

    Why not find the right dealer and talk about a factory order, since it seems you're not likely going to find what you want sitting on a lot?
