    First Oil Change........

    Last Saturday I had the first oil change done on my 2017 Ram 1500. Changed from factory fill to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W20 and a Wix XP filter. I have driven just a bit over 100 miles since the oil change. The MPG results have to be coincidence. Prior to oil change 15.6 MPG on average...

    What do you like about the dial shifter?

    In response to the haters. I absolutely hated the dial shifter at first, because I knew I would forget to put it in park. Well, I guess Chrysler knew this as well. I love the fact that if I forget, the truck takes care of it for me!! Took a few months to get used to it, but I don't mind it...

    Pennzoil Ultra missing in San Angelo, TX

    Checked three Walmarts, all three Auto Zones and two Orielly's. Not even a place on the shelf for it. What the hell. I do not want to have to start ordering my oil. Did Ultra get pulled? Is there anything that is a good equivalent? No interest in going Red Line. Just want a good 5W20 with...

    Halogen Head Light Bulbs?

    I am really not interested in changing the housing. I just want the best bulb I can buy for my low beams (H11). I swear I have watched every video on you tube, read every review I can find and I am no closer to buying new bulbs. My head hurts, lol! Preferences: White light, see as far down...

    Some days you should be able to get a do over

    Dec 2nd 2017 at 0635 I was pulling out of the drive way taking my son to work. I was distracted, thinking about a case I am working on. Next, I am saying to myself, am I really running over the basketball hoop. Didn't hit it to hard, there shouldn't be any damage to my Ram. Stopped and...

    Remote Start

    Trying to figure out why my remote start works when it wants to. It works as designed about 80% of the time? Why is that? Am I pushing the button to fast, to slow? Is it just the way it is? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

    Liqui-moly mos2 and Penzoil Platinum

    My truck only has 2700 miles on it and sounds great still running on the factory oil. I am considering PP 5w20 and using a can of the liqui-moly mos2 at about the 5000 mile mark. Would this be a good way to go for the 5.7 HEMI? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

    Plasti-dip or new badges

    So far I have replaced the HEMI badges and Ram heads with the Mopar black ones. I know, I will never be able to line up the RAM 1500 letters and numbers correctly if I replace them. I can buy the badges and have them replaced for under $100.00 or I can simply tape them off and plasti-dip...

    Pennzoil

    Can anyone tell me the difference between platinum and ultra? Does the platinum contain moli? Is there a place I can actually find an additives list? Thanks, Rob Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

    Roll on bed liner on stock running boards

    So far I have replaced the front and rear Ram Heads with black ones and going to plasti dip the ram 1500 badges this weekend. Would it be possible to scuff up the stock chrome running boards and use roll on bed liner to make them black? Has anyone done this?

    Is NAV activation worth it?

    I apologize if I am asking a question that has been asked a thousand times. Is it worth paying the money to have the nav feature activated on my 2017 Ram 1500 Lonestar Silver?
