Welcome to the forum. Be sure to get a Catch Can and a 180 degree thermostat ASAP it's good engine life insurance and the best thing you can do on a new motor.

Thanks ! I'll put the 180 on my to get list . Hopefully it won't cause any warranty issues saying it made the motor run cooler then it's suppose to lol . Btw what's a catch can and what does it do ?

No warranty issues with the 180-tstat. The catch can replaces a section of you PVC system and catches oil vapor/water and other gunk from being blown back into the intake to be burned off in the motor. It is engine insurance. Be sure to drain the can every month.

This is how much nasty oil my catch has caught from being blow back into the intake to be burned off. This pic is about 8-9 months worth. Just imagine the amount for gunk the stock PVC system puts into your intake over the life of the truck???

Ok thanks , I think I had one of those when I had my supercharged Mustang cobra. But don't think it ever caught that much oil as yours

Thanks very much for taking the time to post pictures and the explaination.
Any links or recommendations as far as we're to pick one up ?

I'm not sure what bracket your 2015 uses, I'd contact them before ordering. It goes on very easy. 15 minutes.

Welcome and.by the way that BT catch can uses the z bracket on the 2015s it comes with it on the rams unlike some other models - just read the fine print or call and you'll see it.

Thanks it was a hard choice since Ram has so many nice colors to choose from . I've had good luck with white in the past it stays cool , doesn't show the dust as much either .

Update

Well after a week of ownership I am proud to say this Ram Truck has exceeded my expectations. Has a great ride no rattles but have only just under 300 miles on her . Best of all no 20 to 30 mph vibration like my 14 Silverado had . This Ram really has a nice ride even being a 4 wheel drive truck . The brakes feel a little different not as firm but more responsive then the Chevy. Steering feels lighter but still feels good . Again very happy with my new Ram and highly recommend to anyone on the fence .
Oh and most importantly almost forgot loving this Hemi , good power and great sound .
Was planning on a 4 to 6" lift in the future but don't know I hate to mess with a good thing .
