    290 to Giddings, then north to 77. I was actually heading to rockdale/Milano area. Probably had t/h on the entire trip there. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    2017 v6 pentastar 1500 towing 5300lbs

    My 4th Gen towed a 2700 lb civic in a 2 wheel dolly from Houston to Austin and averaged about 17 or 18 mpg. It's a 3.6l quad cab 2wd laramie with 3.21 rear end. I can't imagine the 5th gen would do half that, given even terrain. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Pedal Commander

    If it was available, I would have purchased the non Bluetooth model. I do not get the warm and fuzzies that a wireless device can easily connect and alter the throttle response. This thing is only there to correct the deficiencies, I don't think it's been touched in months, and likely will...

    What can / cant be upgraded in trim levels?

    That's what I'm thinking with the seats. But after my Mrs demanded I put running boards on it like the Laramie has, it'll be a while before I look at adding anything else. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    What can / cant be upgraded in trim levels?

    I ended up with a 19 CC lonestsar 4x4 hemi over the weekend After reading everyone's replies, I think it was good advice to just buy the options I wanted. About the inky thing I'm missing is the memory seat positions, but since my wife has the 17 laramie now, I'll rarely need to move the...

    Power Inverter Location?

    I think my 17 laramies inverter is under the front passenger seat. Will check here in a bit when I'm around it again. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    What can / cant be upgraded in trim levels?

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. We've decided to look at various bighorn/longhorn discounted stock units around town (Houston) with level 2 package. This gets me everything I really want. I'd hoped to hear that it would make enough sense to buy cheap and upgrade later. This...

    What can / cant be upgraded in trim levels?

    My wife wants my 17 qc laramie, and that leaves me looking for a new ride (horrible problem right?). What are the options that can/can't be upgraded on a lower trim to a higher one? On the 4th gen, I remember seeing certain parts dont have harnesses or wiring run and would be an epic chore...

    What 55 mph does for gas mileage

    When you did this experiment, did you use cruise control, or keeping the pedal position the same, and letting the speed slow up hill and speed up down? My single biggest gripe with my truck is that since I can't manually select the gear, or throttle lock electronically, cruise control likes to...

    It *shouldnt* affect the warranty, as it's only adjusting the sensor to the ecu within oem design. However, I still remove my PC before going to the dealer. If it's not there, there's no questions to ask. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Pedal Commander

    I got one solely for pedal feel. Spent about a year with the truck first, and couldn't take it any more. I come from older smaller cars without a DBW system, and when I move my foot 1/8 inch, I expect throttle response. As it is, both me and my wife would hunt for the throttle response, and...

    Very pleased with v6 mileage on a road trip

    You can choose the 4 corner data points with the steering wheel on the larger evic. Under display config, I think it looks like an old gauge cluster. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Very pleased with v6 mileage on a road trip

    Maybe it was the tank size in the caravan, but we would go through almost a half tank a day, where the armada would get us around 3 days to a tank. We would just make trips to home depot, and to the job site, while idling a couple hours a day between short drives on site. I work on airports, so...

    Very pleased with v6 mileage on a road trip

    I get the grand caravans often when I travel for work. It has a 3.6? That thing is pretty bad I gotta give it to you. But we did drive from Phoenix up to the canyon and back, did about 27 mpg total this Feb. I use it cause it's so much easier to load and unload than an armada. Sent from my...

    Curious about limited slip diff for my 17 v6

    Interesting, thanks. Especially about getting the sales code added and fully covered. Being my first truck, and first rwd vehicle, can someone go into any more detail on specific pro/con of oem/after market LSD? I'm not hot rodding, the truck is mostly a pavement princess, and I expect maybe...

    Very pleased with v6 mileage on a road trip

    Ouch, I think I'm around 22 to 24 combined as a daily driver. Depending on freeway wrecks, remote start, and lead footiness. The mpg was one of the major reasons I went with ram to begin with, not dissatisfied. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Curious about limited slip diff for my 17 v6

    I bought off the lot when my last car died in 17, got a great deal. Biggest thing I would liked to have had was the limited slip diff since I'm in the 2wd. How viable is it to get the diff replaced? If I do, and go with an oem part, will it do anything to the factory or lifetime Fca backed...

    Regarding the transmission reliability, since you mentioned historic dodge/Chrysler issues, the 8speed trans is not a Chrysler product. It's the zf8hp from a German company who supplied the transmission to a ton of automakers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZF_8HP_transmission#applications...
