    Oil pressure question

    I know my oil pressure is a bit lower than most ive seen on this forum. It’s right at 47 psi at 70+ mph when warm, but i believe that is in spec. The question is this: when i start the truck (2019 classic Hemi) the oul pressure gauge immediately jumps to the midpoint….all good and no ticking...

    5w30 Liqui Moly and Warranty

    My 2019 Hemi Classic has an occasional lifter tick on startup….not always but often enough to be a concern. After 10-30 seconds all is quiet. I’ve been using PUP 5w20 or Valvoline FS 5w20 since I’ve owned it. My neighbor has a VW Atlas with a v6 and similar issues. His VW dealer recommended...

    Installed 2” drop springs in rear

    I just installed the 2” rear lowering springs from pro suspension. Took about an hour, with a little trouble on the left side. Had to pry the original spring out and now I’m tired, but I’m 74 years old. Ha Anyway, I’m totally pleased with the result. Rides exactly as before, nice and level...

    Oil pressure goofy

    My 2019 classic Hemi has been running perfectly for 37,000 miles….until yesterday. Each time I started it, I got some lifter noise, sounded like multiple lifters. The oil pressure gauge goes immediately to the middle of the gauge when starting but the oil can light on the dash takes several...

    Lower using 2” drop rear springs

    I have a 2019 Ram Classic Crewcab and decided to lower the rear with 2” drop springs. I’ve read a bunch of threads but I’ve never done this before and I’m a bit nervous. I ordered the Pro Suspension springs after reading hundreds of reviews. They seem to fit my needs. Anyway, I read where the...

    Another interesting oil concern…goofy??

    I went to Sams club to buy a new set of tires. Thank the lord the sra’s are gone…..what crap. I bought Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus, which seem to be good so far…sorry, I digress. Anyway, the guy behind the counter was a retired Chrysler mechanic working part time. He offered me a conventional...

    Ok to remove active shutters??

    I’ve been thinking about removing the active shutters. A couple concerns: 1-will it void the warranty?? 2-do the temperatures stay more consistent? Mine swing by sometimes 25+ degrees and seems hot to me 3-I bought a kit to fool the computer to think they are still there but I’m second guessing...

    Oil pressure varying….concerned

    My 2019 classic Hemi oil pressure has reduced a little. I’m using Royal Purple 5w30 with an RP filter. For 3,500 miles it ran 48 psi at 75 mpg consistently. Today on a 3 hour trip it dropped to 44 and occasionally 43 psi and stayed there for 200+ miles. I guess 5 psi is a not a big drop but I...

    My 2019 classic is needed new 20” tires and I’m happy to say the the crummy Goodyear crap is finally warn out. Good riddance. Anyway I want an all terrain tire and I’ve been looking at the B F Goodrich Trail Terrain. It’s apparently pretty new and I’m not able to get many reviews on it. Is...

    Still in quandry about new grill and what about those Active Grill Shutters??????

    I have been looking at various aftermarket grills for my 2019 Classic Ram. My issue is that OEM grills have panels on either side behind the grill that apparently direct the air flow toward the center, assumingly toward the radiator. None of the aftermarket grills have these panels such that...

    Engine Squeals on start up

    My 2019 Ram classis 5.7 just turned 35,000 miles yesterday. It's been perfect since September when I bought it. It's been pretty cold here in Southern Illinois for the past few weeks. The other day it was 7 degrees. When I started the truck with the remote start I heard a short (1-2 seconds)...

    Aftermarket grill question

    I’d like to swap my 2019 classic 1500 bighorn grill for an aftermarket rebel style grill. I’ve noted that the aftermarket grills do not have the air dams/funnels that are behind the stock grill (one on each side). First, how important are these for good cooling and second, can these be removed...

    Engine tick intermittently????

    I recently bought a 2019 classic 5.7. I changed the oil immediately after purchase since I didn’t know what was in it or how long it was since the last oil change. I used Valvoline full synthetic 5w20 and a Royal purple filter. It has 34,000 miles on it. Everything was fine but I noticed it’s...

    Which coolant

    My 2019 Ram Classic 5.7 needs a top off in the radiator overflow tank. So, I stopped at Oreilly parts and the guy checked the computer and sold me a gallon of Valvoline Xerox Dex Cool for Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles He said from 2017 up, Mopar is using this Dex Cool. My neighbor said not...

    8.4 Screen gets pretty Hot

    I just bought a 2019 classic with the 8.4 in screen…works beautifully. However, I noticed that the screen seems pretty hot to the touch. Is this normal or am I looking at a potential failure??? Ugh

    What is the correct weight oil???

    I just bought a 2019 Ram classics with the 5.7 Hemi. This is the nicest truck I’ve ever owned with all the bells and whistles, rides beautiful and has good power. I’ve been reading all the threads on oil viscosity selection and I’m leaning toward full synthetic 5w30 (Royal Purple). My truck...

    Have owned several Rams, I wavered and bought a F150. So, yesterday I fixed it!! Bought a 2019 Ram Big Horn Classic 4x4 Crew Cab and a Hemi (got rid of the ecoboost). The ride is so superior and it’s fully equipped including leather. Gotta love it!! One question: I have a big stash of Royal...

    Radio upgrade question

    I’m thinking about swapping out my own 5” radio for an own 8.4 non-navigation unit. My question is, is this a plug and play situation?? I know I have to get the larger radio bezel. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

    New 2018 Ram

    Greetings.... I just picked up my new 2018 Ram Express quad cab 4x4. I looked at the 2019's but the 2018 rebates were just too darn good. It's kind of a base model, which is what I wanted. I traded a 2007 Escalade on it, which was the biggest money pit I every owned!! Glad to be done with it...

    For Sale: Jump seat, radio bezel and storage drawer out of 2017 Ram

    I just swapped out the center front jump seat in my 2017 Ram QC for a console. I have the three piece center seat, radio bezel, and storage tray (under the bezel) available. I live near St. Louis, and prefer not to ship everything....would be super expensive. I just switched my cloth interior...

    Mr Hoodscoop....Installed mine yesterday...

    I just installed my color matched hood scoop. A little tedious installation, being careful to get it right, not scratch anything, etc. It was a hard choice to drill 6 holes in the hood, but all went well....I like it a lot!!

    2017 Ram swap center jump seat for console

    I just bought a leather interior replacement kit for my 2017 Ram...not seat covers but replacement upholstery. SO, I have to pull out all of the seats including the center jump seat in the front. I would like to replace it with the floor console as long as I have it apart. Anyone have a...
