    What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?

    2019 1500 I get average 17 to 18 mpg during the summer. Winter blend fuel I get 15 to 16 mpg. Towing my 28 ft Jaco camper I get anywhere from 8 -12 mpg

    A. Accident damage thoughts…

    Even without frame damage it is going to run about 14 to possibly 20k to make repairs. I hit a deer a year ago. No sheet metal damage at all. Front bumper, Grill, condenser, radiator, all of the grill and louvers cost $5300.00. Then also factor in cost of rental truck. Glad that you are not...

    Nitto GRPLR vs Toyo AT3 vs BFG KO2

    I have been running BFG KO2s for more than a year on my 1500. I pull a 28 foot Jayco camper all the time. They are great in the rain and great traction pulling my camper uphill in gravel and dirt. If I ever wear these out, I will buy more just like them.

    60750 Miles and Exhaust Manifold leak...

    I have a 2019, Just had the right side replaced under warranty. I have the factory extended warranty that I had purchase because of all the electronic toys built into this thing. If it happens again it will cost me a Ben Franklin. It is now out of factory warranty due to the mileage.

    Well that’s disappointing

    I have a 2019 5.7 with e-torque. Got 54000 on the odometer now. No major problems whatsoever with the e-torque system. People say how does it save fuel??? Obviously when the engine is not running, it is not using fuel! Does it save fuel? Maybe a little! To date the only issues I have had is a...

    Engine Oil Heat Exchanger Leaking

    Update: Found that when you pull filter this heat exchanger housing has a lot of play. The oil filter is what actually holds this in place. I rotated exchanger opposite direction (1/4) turn and installed a new filter only hand tight. This actually stopped the leak. Seems kind of a Mickey Mouse...

    I'm not a millennial.

    I have had my Long Horn for over 2 years now. Love the push button start. Still cannot get used to the rotary gear shifter. To damn many knobs close together. I keep grabbing the wrong ones. I am 62 now and cannot get rid of all those years of muscle memory!!

    Anyone experience 5th gen A/C kicking on and off when it is not on?

    Mine does this also. Just a note to add here, in the cold months when the engine gets to temp the heat is blasting really hot as it seems until the cabin temp stabilizes. Mine has the left and right temp controls.

    Harbor Freight tool chests?

    I work in a 12 story Hospital system as the Electrician and Maintenance tech. They bought us all nice blue General tool boxes to wheel around the hospital in. Been really great. All we needed to do is add a chain to drag the floor to dissipate the static electricity, especially during the dry...
