Hello, just purchased my 3rd Ram yesterday. It’s a 2018 4x4 5.7 Hemi, and it’s absolutely badass. Joined the forum to meet other Ram owners and get helpful tips on upgrades, accessories, etc. looking forward to it.

1st of all, welcome to the forum!

2nd of all, some helpful tips that come to mind would be getting rid of your Active Grill Shutters, installing a 180 T-stat, and possibly swapping in a E-fan in place for the clutch fan which will help out things immensely. Just a few thoughts:)

Clutch fan?, i thought all the trucks where e. fan, my 14 sport is ( I think, Now I have to and look) old age you know. Welcome aboard, lots of good advice, info.
My suggestion, mud flaps, We have to have them in up here and some boards, My wife had a heck of a time till I installed boards,.
I don't now why you would get rid of the shutters? The Ender?
My 14 sport get way better mileage than my last ones, mainly because of the 8 sp I guess.
That is a old picture of mine .

You’d get rid of the shutters so the truck stays cooler which is always a must. On the Hemi, there’s 2 fans, a mechanical clutch fan connected to the water pump and a electric e-fan mostly for the A/C and added cooling when needed.

Up were I am, heat is not usually a problem, not that often the AC on, -30 or -40 is more the problem. Love the heated steering wheel, seats, the back don't have heat, so the dog as to , poor old girl.
Really like the truck, not the color I would have bought, but it was the best deal on the lot, after a chev car tried to drive under my other one at 100km/60mph at a road construction stop. I have installed the box cover off the Laramie I had and new SS boards The last was black, nice, but lots of washing, the gray is real nice.
