    Hurricane durability questions?

    Frankly, a 3.L engine with twin turbos is pushing all the HP and torque out of a small displacement engine can deliver. It barley gets much better mpg as the 5.7. What's the point?

    Fluid Change after many miles?

    The Owners manual says 120,000 miles or sooner if you two. Make sure you change the pan/filter and use the ZF trans fluid. Do it right and it will treat you right.

    Should I change my trans fluid?

    By my 17 RAM 1500 owners manual is says 120,000 miles if you don't haul a trailer the filter/pan and fluid must be changed. It amounts to about $350. to $400. depending on the dealer. Its required if you have a MOPAR warranty beyond the factory one.

    It very simply meand that the dealership cant hook these features up, you have to. Call Uconnect and the free will start. Poor wording by the dealer.

    2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Transmission Flush

    To rebuild a ZF 8 speed around close to $5K. Its just not worth the risk using any of the other fluids, no matter how good they say they are, especially if its under warranty.

    2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Transmission Flush

    I would NEVER take my RAM to a Mr. Lube! By the owners manual and MOPAR Warranty the trans fluid should be changed at 120,000 miles. Yes that means changing the pan/filter. Just pumping the fluid leaves all the gunk in the filter.

    1 gal. Of gasoline in 28 gal diesel performance increase.

    You would be MUCH better adding Kerosene than gasoline. Your experiment may well be slanted by tempt. wind and other factors.

    eTorque Battery Saftey

    I went to the dealer about four weeks ago. It is impossible to order a RAM 1500 5.7 without that generator/starter/ 48 volt battery system. What a stupid mistake RAM has taken. I will keep mine and run it till it gives out, rebuild it and keep going!

    Is Hot Shot's Secret Stiction Eliminator Oil Additive a Good Product?

    I sincerely doubt that these additives help in any meaningful way, or will make your engine or trans. last longer. I think there are additives that actually do harm. How do you tell the difference? When things brake and the manufacturer won't honor their claim that the product was warrantied to do.

    Turning lights off

    Daytime running lights can only be turned off or on at the dealer with their computer connection. I had mine turned on as it gives me a discount with my insurance.

    What do you lose when RAM connect on new truck expires?

    Your insurance gives a discount for the ability for tracking a stolen RAM. In our case it was $11. a month.

    Oil Catch Can with Mopar MAXCARE warranty claim

    Never hears of this. Is this just an specific years?

    Oil Catch Can ?

    Unless you have a GDI engine its overkill. The 5.7 INMO if its something you want it can't hurt. Getting a high quality oil, filter, air filter is a much higher need.

    Dealer states 2019 Dodge Laramie needs differential cleaned at 26K miles.

    Go exactly by the Owners manual. It says nothing of the sort. My 17 was not required to change the axles, transfer case and transmission until 120,000. I now have 144,+++ on my 17 RAM. I have an Mopar extended warranty for unlimited miles and 7 years. I am on my last year, and I have kept it by...

    Adding Bed Weight for Winter Driving

    The only truck I needed extra weight was the two Dakotas I owned. The four RAM 1500's I've owned never needed it. We get snow and ice where we live. Ice is when we don't go anywhere.
