    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport w/eTorque. 65,000 miles. Personally, if I could rip that damned expensive alternator out of my truck I would. The start/stop feature is USELESS to me. Also, dangerous. I have almost hit several vehicles in drivethru lines when easing off the brake to move forward...

    Help with towing. New to owning a dodge

    All my Rams have been Dodges. My 1984 D150, My 2005 Quad Cab 1500, my 2013 Quad Cab 1500, and my current 2021 Laramie Sport Crew Cab. ******* Frogs and Guineas are screwing up our trucks by trying to turn them into Eye-Talian vehicles!

    2025 Ram 1500 TRX Drops 6.2L Hellcat V8, New 3.0L Hurricane I6 Packs Over 500 HP

    Fewer cylinders, bad gas mileage, and forced to use EXPENSIVE PREMIUM fuel. Plus it sounds like a muskrat with a bad case of flatulence! No thanks. My 2024 will be my last Ram unless the rumor of another Hemi come true...

    3:21 rear vs 3:92 gas mileage?

    I have a 2021 Laramie Sport with 5.7 e BS and 3.92. I continually average 17mpg per dashboard. Lot's of hwy miles SW Louisiana to Tampa 8 times plus DFW, ATL, HOU, etc. got 62K on it. Just for fun, I slowed down to 60 for 20 miles (in a 60mph zone), got 28mpg indicated. Drove 70mph in a...

    Greetings from Ram Cares

    Hadn't thought of that. Don't like dealerships. Always feel like I need a shower after talking to a salesman or service manager

    Greetings from Ram Cares

    Well I guess I'm NOT going to buy a new Ram. Just tried to put one together on the website and I can't get it built the way I want it. I want a Laramie GT, but even though it'll cost me $70K, I can't get it in blue? Too many things I want can't be included without using. "package". Too many...

    Say It Ain't So, the new 2024 Ram 1500 Sport

    Just how long is that battery good for? And replacement cost?

    Say It Ain't So, the new 2024 Ram 1500 Sport

    Sounds like the kid has a high opinion of himself and his ideas. Personally, I think a haircut would ease the strain on his brain so he can start thinking positively.

    Stellantis’ new Ram pickup is an EV — with a gas-powered generator in case the battery runs out. The end of the Hemi???

    All I can say is Stellantis can kiss my MF'ing ass. Goddamn Europeans need to get the F outta the US. I'm glad I'm old enough the 2024 will be the last truck I buy. And that jackass engineer telling how "wonderful" the hurrican't engine is just does not understand that a 6 cyi is NEVER...

    2021-2022 Ram 1500 Seat/Mirror Memory Option

    2025 Ram 1500 TRX Drops 6.2L Hellcat V8, New 3.0L Hurricane I6 Packs Over 500 HP

    If you want to drive a HotWheels car, sure, but I drive a pickup. And 4/6 cyl engines sound like flea farts when you put performance exhaust on them.

    2025 Ram 1500 TRX Drops 6.2L Hellcat V8, New 3.0L Hurricane I6 Packs Over 500 HP

    Cool AND true! That thing is a DOG! My 2013 4.7 w/280k on it has better acceleration. And don't tell me it's cuz the jeep is heavier. My 13 weighs about the same and my 21 is heavier.

    2025 Ram 1500 TRX Drops 6.2L Hellcat V8, New 3.0L Hurricane I6 Packs Over 500 HP

    I test drove a WAGONEER with the SO Hurrican't motor. Almost fell asleep on the way to 60mph.

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    If the damned thing weighs 3 TONS why the HELL are you putting a 6cyl in it. It takes fuel to make power. And it takes A LOT of power to move 3 TONS. I guess if you're a guy who doesn't care about getting up to speed, it's ok. But for me... I'm all about getting there faster. Looks like...

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    All I can say is the damned thing was SLOOOOOW to get to 60. I have a 5.7 and when I push the pedal, it takes off. And all it has is 395HP. This turkey is supposed to have 420 horses...they must all be qudraplegic. Not gonna talk about HO, but SO is is a POS engine. Jeep was real nice, but...

    Ford is coming out with a logo for the Raptor chowing down on a Gecko for when the trx gets its balls cut off.

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    Everyone that responded that something was was wrong with the Wagoneer I drove is absolutely right. It has a **** poor excuse for a motor in it. I drove a WAGONEER, not a GRAND WAGONEER. The single turbo was like driving my old '94 Dakota with the 4 cyl. So much power you had to shut off the...

    Looking for an advice replacing the TIPM (2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7)

    If you can use a wrench, you can change your tipm. I did my 2013 in about 30 min. But leave it overnight after hooking up to give all the little bits time to talk and get acquainted. YouTube has a couple good videos on doing this.

    New truck - when do I start getting the mileage on the window sticker

    I have a 21 Laramie Sport with 50K on it that I get 16/17 overall, but I have to get on the interstate to get to town. On a recent trip, I set cruise to 70 on a Loooooong bridge over swamp and got 26.7 for 22 miles. Ran it up to 80 after bridge and got 18.5 the rest of the way. Only stopped...

    tires

    Just stay away from Bridgestones. The OEM's on my '21 Laramie Sport went bald at 36K...and I'm not a guy to peel out all the time. Quit that about 50 years ago when I had to buy my own tires!

    5TH Gen Alfa OBD

    Does anyone know if the AlfaOBD will work with the Zurich 15s from Harbor Freight?

    5TH Gen Alfa OBD

    The 55 and 60 pertain to the height of the tire ..in percentage of of the width. 55 is 55% as high as the tire is wide.

    2021 ram 1500 etorque problems

    Yeah, *monkey...I have it because the truck came with it. It came with good reviews from eggheads with engineering degrees, not from mechanics. I know at least 20 mechanics that feel like I do. You like it...good for you. I don't...and If I could figure out how to do it, I'd rip the piece of...
