    Ram Hybrid for 2025

    Chrysler talked about this back in 2006 when Mercedes owned them. I can't believe no one has done this yet. It seems like an absolute perfect transportation solution. Make the generator diesel and low RPM and the Bob's Your Uncle!!! Or better yet, a Wankle!

    Looking for Mopar Extended warranty

    I've bought two extended service plans from Tom.....I live in Massachusetts and my dealer wanted $3000 for 7year unlimited miles...Tom did it for $1700 (2021 Ram 2500 / 6.4L Hemi / 4wd) Interestingly, I had a 2019 that I traded in on the 2021 with the same warrantee from Tom. When I called him...

    Goodyear Endurance Trailer Tires

    I have a 7500 pound trailer with Goodyear Endurance. Set at 75 pounds...Recently added SUMO SPRINGS.....Simply amazing improvement in towing. Far less bounce and wooble....Well worth the price.... https://www.superspringsinternational.com/sumosprings/

    2023 5.7L V8 HEMI MDS VVT eTorque Engine 3.21 Rear Axle Ratio

    I've had 1500 series trucks with the 5.7.....In my estimation, terrible tow vehicles towing my 7000 small camping trailer. Horrible out west, blowing its brains out to even do 35mph up the mountains! I stepped up to a 2021, 6.4L, 8 speed......Night and day difference! I've towed over 30K milkes...

    A tale of two model years: Price increase comparison

    Car and truck prices have gotten so9 high, many manufacturers are thinking about "Subscription Options".....Turned on and off over the internet....You want heated seats? $9.95 a month, heated steering wheel...$5 a month....AC?...$20 a month and so it goes....

    What Rocket Scientist Designed This ?

    You could have a Ford Super Duty where you need to remove the whole cab for many of the general maintenance items....Ads $1000 to the bill even before a wrench is turned!

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    Simply do a YouTube search for ..."why a straight 6 is better" and watch for hours!

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    You could not be more misinformed.....Try to find a V8 in most if not all current over the road trailer trucks...All have straight 6 engines. Loads of real engineers on YouTube discussing why a straight six, for heavy applications, FAR outperforms a V8.....V8 is for horsepower...Straight 6 is...

    Duh! Dumped a gallon of washer fluid into coolant reservoir. (2016 Ram 1500)

    A few years ago, my mother did this. We ran that car for near 100,000 miles with an Anti-Freeze / Windshield Washer Fluid mix......Never an issue.

    8-speed vs 6-speed gas mileage

    If you want gas mileage, get a 1500 with the electric motor and the V6. I borrowed my cousins brand new E Torque and did 2000 miles this summer. With the bed loaded with about 600 pounds of stuff, I averaged 24 mpg at 70mph! And wicked fast! Great truck!

    6.4 getting a make over or going away?

    "They are all diesel. Max torque can't be achieved with spark ignited engines, hence the V8s" There is a great YouTube video on this. V8 engines can easily produce HP, but straight 6 engines can easily produce more torque.......this is why all big trucks are now straight 6 engines. With modern...

    6.4 getting a make over or going away?

    The only engines that will be available are going to be turbocharged straight six cylinders. Huge torque and HP, should get better milage. Lots of YouTube videos about it. All big trailer trucks are now straight 6......can't get a V8 in the big trucks any longer. Four cycle straight six engines...

    6.4l terrible mpg

    BTW...My truck was in service for 16 weeks waiting for warantee parts...But that's a whole other story. I borrowed a friends brand new (4000 miles) 1500 with V6/ETorque. I put about 800 pounds of stuff in the bed and drove from Massachusetts to GA, then to PA, Upstate NY and back to MA...all at...

    6.4l terrible mpg

    I've had two 6.4L 2500...2018 with 3.73 gears and 6spd auto and now a 2021 with 4.10 gears and 8spd transmission. I've done extensive MPG test while on multi thousand mile trips. Both towing a 6K pound trailer and empty. Both trucks got 17 on the highway unloaded and 10 pulling the trailer. An...

    WEEK 15...Still waiting parts!

    I'd buy a drive shaft in a NY minute if there was one available. I'd even buy one from a wreck at a junk yard.....there are zero available anywhere. I would trade the truck but there are zero 2022 Ram 2500 gas trucks with the features I want.

    WEEK 15...Still waiting parts!

    My 2021 RAM 2500 6.4 has now been sitting in the dealers lot for over 14 weeks waiting for a new driveshaft. It is now a mess having sat under trees for near 4 months. It was broken into and the GPS and the backup camera screen were stolen. I've been in contact with uper level RAM/Chrysler folks...
