    Help me understand normal vs Hemi tick

    My 19 Classic has 47,000 miles, and except for injectors, it's quiet unless I start it briefly when cold to move it with a run time of about one to two minutes, then shut it down. When I start it the next morning, it'll tick due to lifter leak down, but that's usually only for a second or so. In...

    Report on Michelin-Defender LTX M/S 20" on RAM 1500

    I had Michelin Defender LTX tires installed on my 19 1500 Classic at 39,000 miles in August after one of my original tires was damaged beyond repair. The truck is noticeably quieter, the tires seem to balance better than the factory Wranglers, and the one time I've used them in rain they had...

    2018 Power Wagon Oil leak on Drivers side

    Lee Stroud, what ended up causing this leak? My 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with the 5.7 has an oil leak in the identical spot. It's been to the dealer for it twice; the first time, when it was less than a year old, they said they tightened the left valve cover bolts. Second time, they replaced the...

    Hood corrosion on 2019 classic

    I also have corrosion bubbling the paint on the leading edge of my hood. I'm the original owner of my 2019 Ram Classic, have had it less than two years, and it has just under 24,000 miles. It's been in California or Arizona the whole time, and never in snow. It's never been in an accident...

    Oil Filter Size

    I use an SRT filter on my 2019 Classic. Fit is tight, but I don't have the start up clatter with this filter and Redline 5w20 that I had with the factory filter and oil, which I changed at 2,000 miles. Here's the SRT vs. factory filter for comparison:

    2019 Ram Classic...Price Paid?

    I bought my hemi Big Horn crew cab 4x4, with nav, 32 gallon tank, 3.92s, heated seats and wheel, and rear window defog, in February for $31990. That was the dealer's advertised asking price, and they had 34 others identically optioned, except half had nav, half didn't. Mine was the only...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I installed a Dualliner bedliner a few months ago. It was easy to install, I am happy with how it looks, and I like the traction it provides when walking in the bed.

    To black out or long live chrome ?

    The black bezel lights and honeycomb inserts look great with the chrome. I've been considering doing exactly the same, and it is great seeing what it really looks like.

    2019 Ram Classic

    I don't know all of the differences, but at least on the Big Horn, the door handles are body color on the 19 Classic and chrome on the 18.

    New Ram Classic owner

    This site has been very helpful while I've been browsing around and learning, and it helped me decide to buy my new 2019 Ram Classic Big Horn 4x4. This is my first truck, and I sold a 2008 Subaru STI that I had since new to move into the Ram. I've had it almost a month now, and love it. The...

    Fuel tank gauge update?

    I bought a 2019 Ram Big Horn Classic crew cab, 4wd, about three weeks ago, and it takes 30-31 gallons when the fuel gauge is at E. It was built October 2018. For a long time, it appeared very few people this forum had a correctly calibrated 32 gallon tank gauge because of incorrect...
