    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    My vote is it will be fine, especially with only towing a couple times/year. I’m not gonna waste time going over all the math that’s already been spewed on here. But I can tell you I haul my horse trailer with my 2019 1500 with the 3.21 gear ratio approximately 2000 miles/year. In the...

    IBS reset for battery change?

    Too many to list. Do a search for IBS and there are a bunch of posts. Some say you have to reset the IBS and others say you don’t ‍♀️.

    IBS reset for battery change?

    I just replaced the battery on my 2019 1500 Classic (5 years old, been drained dead a few times due to trailer wiring issues, can’t seem to hold a charge , etc) Just recently read stuff about having to reset the IBS sensor when you do this. WTF?! What is this and how do you do it? My Uconnect...

    Best AT tires for everyday use and snow?

    I’m in SE ID as well. I used to drive studded tires but found siped tires to be even better. And that’s with driving driving Teton Pass with its 10% grade and stupid tourists.

    Best AT tires for everyday use and snow?

    Copper Discoverer AT3 siped for winter. Been running these for at least 5 years and love em. SE ID mountains where we have 6+ months of ice/snow.

    Can we please get past the dealership model?

    I guess I missed something…. What is wrong with your RAM?

    Replacing Original Factory Tires Before 10K

    LOVE my Cooper AT3’s. I actually get them siped and run them as my snow tire.

    Bottle jacks and jack stands

    Stock 1500 with 20” rims. I used to DIY oil changes but never had to jack it up for them. But accessing that f…ing oil filter is such a PIA I decided to pay some other poor schmuck to do my oil changes. Worth every penny. For tire changes I use a floor Jack on a point of the axle closest to...

    What would you add to make your Ram ideal for you?

    A built in “truck roomba” to suck up all the interior trail dust and dog hair.

    8 speed transmission issues

    Those seem like pretty high tranny temps. I had a 2014 V6 that would hit 240 on a really long uphill mountain climb towing a horse trailer. I bought a 2019 V8 and have never seen it go over 200, even towing 7000# in the mountains.

    What should I expect in MPG while towing my RV

    I read some of the other posts and can’t believe what sucky the mpg they are getting. I tow a 7000# (fully loaded) horse trailer with my 2019 1500 Classic 5.7 hemi and I get 11-14mpg. Rarely exceeding 55mph but often involving decent mountain climbs.

    Truck driven with Washer fluid in coolant.

    It’s actually a 2019 with 30,000 miles

    Truck driven with Washer fluid in coolant.

    Yes, taking it to a shop. It’s still full blown winter here. Dumping snow and highs in the 30’s. Not exactly what I want to be doing myself right now.

    Truck driven with Washer fluid in coolant.

    So I just found out a friend who borrowed my truck last week had poured 1/2 gallon of washer fluid in my coolant reservoir, thinking it was the washer fluid tank. I did not find this out until I had already driven it 350 miles on a road trip this weekend. I’m taking it to be drained and...

    Has anyone checked the KBB value of their Ram lately?

    Nope, mines listed within $2000 of what it was a year ago and STILL more than what I paid for it 4 years ago! (2019 1500 Classic)

    How much of a drop for my 3500 hitch?

    I tow multiple different trailers, requiring different tongue heights and ball sizes. Got an adjustable hitch with exchangeable balls and it works for all of them.

    Horse trailer+ slide in camper? Or LQ?

    I’m not going to go into all the reasons why cause they’ve all been listed already. But as a horseman (woman) I would absolutely go with the gooseneck LQ. I’ve seen enough people try to go with the other option and they always regret it.

    Towing with a v6 Pentastar and 3.21 differential

    I had a 2014 (Gen 4) 1500 with the Pentastar V6 8 speed. Towed my horse trailer with one horse just fine. Probably in the 4000# range. And I live in the mountains in ID. Getting a 2nd horse and a bigger trailer added problems. I was now at 6000# and it was OK but tranny fluid would get over...

    Towing advice- 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4x4 5.7L

    Here’s a tire pressure chart for your size tires. Find a scale and determine how much weight each axle is carrying when towing the trailer.

    Help! Keys locked inside?

    I have a spare fob in a magnetic case attached to my frame. Also a spare fob at home. Yeah, they are expensive, but cheaper than a locksmith. And WAY cheaper than towing your truck to a dealership if you can’t locate the lost fob.

    Winter/All-Terain Tire Recommendations?

    I live in a very rural area with similar roads…. More gravel roads in this county than paved with several feet of snow/icy driving in the winter. Plus I’m pulling a horse trailer several hundred miles/year on unpaved roads in the summer. I run Firestone Transforce ATs in the summer and siped...

    I let my wife buy a Ford Edge and I realize it may be a major mistake.

    Nope, it was delicious . 4 state troopers showed up within 1/2 hour and scored the back straps and ivories. We split one elk with a friend and news spread fast cause all of them were gone by 9am (accident happened at 1am)
