It makes you wonder why did FCA design HEMI for 89 octane (preferred)?
If you ask most consumers I believe most would want a pickup truck to run on regular 87 octane and some would want 91 octane fuel for 'higher performance'. Resulting in either cheap fill-ups with 87 OR high performance with...
I'll probably go that route in few years after the OEMs rust away
You would expect side-step to be mounted to the frame on a TRUCK that has one, but it's not. With few extra heavy duty brackets it will hold fine even if its a foot away, but that will cost $15 more. In North East rockers are...
Next time I go looking for a vehicle, I'll take week off and I'll check weather forecast and make sure its a rainy day. Ill bring my CD case and my 27' trailer, and I'll hire a salter truck to drive in front of me and sling rock salt, all while operating rear-slider window and HVAC controls
In...
corneileous the FCA's lawyer and unofficial Ram Cares representative
People posting about things that they don't like with the truck in the tread "what don't you like about your RAM", I believe they are not looking for YOUR approval nor YOUR opinion on it
typically you are not going to visually spot suspension issues like yours, I would recommend getting a nice pry-bar and trying to load each component of the suspension by applying pressure - all while keeping in mind where your fulcrum is so that you don't tear up brake, fuel, cooling or...
Here are few more after four months of ownership and 5k miles:
-no integrated brake controller
-very bright dash-lights with light switch in off position
-no CD player and awkward location of USB ports
-windshield that chips real easy
-rain water on the seat when you open the doors ( no...
Don't tell me that 13 years and 186k miles you were lucky, and all of the sudden your luck changed when you got new 2019. Glass on new rams is subpar. MWGA. Make Windshield Great Again FCA!
I drove many vehicles over the years and chips never happened. I was driving down the highway in E-150 at around 60mph, when a rock size of tennis ball fell of the dump truck and smacked the windshield right in the middle, I braced myself as I expected the impact (no way to swerve to avoid it)...
Yes, but manufacturer makes it to FCA spec/standard and big MOPAR is etched on it
A lot of times manufactures cut cost by cutting quality, I think their windshield if perfect example of this
I have 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, I had it for about 3 months and about 3000 miles, I'm mostly driving on the county back roads and it seams that every time I get on the highway I get rock chip in my windshield. There's 6 of them already. I have never seen or witnessed anything like this before on...
1. Shifter knob, that looks/feels like volume AND climate AND tune/skip knob - while there were at it, FCA should have installed temperature knob and 4wd selector knob right next to cigarette lighter knob :dogpile:
2. pay $50k just to spend another $70 on the owner's manual + $60 on the front...
It's not that hard or expensive to replace the plugs, at 100k, it's good practice to change them anyway
In modern ignition system 99% of the time its either plug or coil if you have a misfire
Once the correct plugs are installed you can try moving #1 coil around or just buy a new one and replace
yeah, but that still doesn't explain why would coolant gets hotter before oil.
as far as the oil cooler goes, that probably has thermostat on it just like transmission cooler in order to get everything up to temperature before starting to cool it down, to keep everything highly efficient...
I got 2019 Classic 5.7
Did anyone notice that oil temperature is actually lower then coolant temperature for first 10-15 minutes in the colder weather. For example, I'll have 60*F coolant and 40*F oil, the only explanation I can come up with is that my Hemi has some king of heat exchanger ( kind...
Hello, I just picked up a brand new Classic 1500 Big Horn the other day and I decided to join the community. I am electrical engineer by trade but love anything mechanical and I have been working on cars for few years now. I’m 6’2”, blonde, 150 lbs male and enjoy long walks on the beach… upssss...
