    Stereo replacement

    Crutchfield tells me there is no replacement head unit for my 2019 with 8.4 inch and no Alpine. I searched on the datalink maestro site and they did not show a module for the truck either!

    Cleanest way removing oil filter

    The oil udder was a total waste of money for me! (2019 4x4) It helps on our Suburban. I use a gallon zip lock bag and have had good results. I did have one filter that stuck and the only I got if off was using a filter removal device that I had gotten for a Harley...

    Am I missing something with Android Auto?

    I had to make any changes on the phone not connected to the radio and those changes followed over to my radio!

    How to prevent yourself from getting locked out ?

    I don't like that these trucks will let you lock it with the fob inside. We have two Mazda CX5's and neither one will let you lock the fob inside! Wish Ram would do this as well.

    Royal Purple 20-820 no longer made?

    So what is the difference in the 10-48 which is what the RP site shows for my 2019 5.7 and the 20-820 that most of you seem to be using?

    MPG Update on 2019 Laramie 4X4 Hemi 3.92

    My 2019 Ram with 4x4 and 5.7 will get 22 mpg on the highway at 75 mph as long as there is not a head wind. And that is running about 1800 rpm! My old 2007 Silverado would not come close to that...

    just bought 2019 , need oil strategy

    I must be missing something here about the filter! Royal Purple website shows a 10-48 being the right filter for the 5.7. So, what is the deal with the 20-820? And when I go to Amazon, and put in RP 20-820, it says it does not fit the 5.7. Thanks...

    Best Battery brands?

    Interstate Batteries.
  9. atxmike53

    Well that was unexpected ! Lifter gone 52,000 miles.

    Does Mobil 1 even meet Chrysler spec? I didn't think it did, so I did not use it. Using PUP.

    POS electronic tailgate

    I have to push forward on my 2019 tailgate to get it to release. Push forward then hit the release under the handle.

    Fram ultra synthetic oil filter new style

    Any thoughts on the Mobil 1 extended performance filter? I am using it and PUP changing at 5k. After posting this, I watched some videos! Think I am going to get the Fram Ultra and try it.

    Battery took a dump on me.

    My battery died with 2 months left on the warranty! I didn't want to take the time and hassle of the dealer, so I just bought a new one at Sams Club for $150. Everyready brand. Hope it lasts awhile..If it doesn't, Next one will be Interstate.

    2500 6.4 Cold Start

    I have a 5.7 and it is loud compared to the Chevy's I have owned. However mine sometimes makes a noticeable "thunk" or "clunk" unusual sound when starting it. Not all the time, just occasionally.

    No backing up with drivers' door open?

    Jimmy07: I have hand made wood ramps with no indent...but still, I prefer to see what the front tires are doing and where they are on the ramps....just my way of doing it..

    No backing up with drivers' door open?

    Glad to find this discussion. I like to open the door to see the front wheels line up with the ramps I use for working under the truck. (as well as when to stop) Well, that ain't happening with this truck as it puts on the brakes as soon as I open the door. Now I am gonna try the seat belt idea!

    POLL: Body style, Which do you prefer, 4th gen./classic or 5th gen.?

    I have driven both a 2017 of my father in laws (Lone Star Edition) and my 2019 5th gen. I prefer the 5th gen myself. Mine is the Bighorn, so it does not have all the goodies. But enough and far ore than my 07 Silverado LTZ...and way more performance! I added the LazFit led hi and low beams...

    Does the 5.7 Hemi burn oil?

    Hey Rusty- The Amsoil will go for 20 or 25k. I used to use in a a Silverado for long intervals. I also used it in a Harley and went twice the manufactures interval on oil changes with no issues. On your truck, if you try it again, I think you are supposed to use their filter and I would...

    Uncle Tony SPEAKS on cam and lifter failure in 5.7 hemi

    Thanks for sharing. Several days back, I was listening to the tick and trying to figure it out and by chance ran the rpm up to about 2500 for a few seconds. I could swear that when I got back out and listened, the tick was gone!!! If what Tony says is true about rpm relative to the oil the...

    Synthetic Oil

    I am surprised to see Mobil 1 as a choice of oil...last I checked, it did not meet the Chrysler spec! I talked to someone at Mobil to find out what was special about the Chrysler spec and he couldn't tell me! Best I recall, it had to do with proprietary stuff.. Anyway, he did say later this...

    Supercharged

    Best of luck to you and your project. I enjoyed reading about it. My last "hot rod" project was ages ago when I put a Chevy 302 (Z28 motor in 69/70) in a 1966 Chevy short bed pick up. Motor turned a bit over 8k rpm and was still loping at 85 on the highway! It was way too hot for what I...

    FYI to Traveling Ram--I found Valvoline synthetic at WalMart for $20 a 5 qt jug.
