    Ram Hybrid for 2025

    Just a note on OTA software updates: Tesla writes ALL of their own code. Our model Y (2023 model) has had several over-the-air updates on software. No issues. No taking it to the dealer. Wake up the next day, drive the car. Unlike updates from most other OEMs like Ford, VW, Audi, Toyota. Jim...

    Stellantis: When do you go with the Tesla charger?

    Now that Ford, two weeks back, and GM have decided to go with the Tesla chargers, is the RAM REV being designed with a Tesla charge port on the truck? EVGO and the rest are going on life support financially. Waiting to hear from VW and the rest.

    2014 ram 1500 Bilstein strut replacement

    Replaced the front struts in the 4x4 ram 1500 with 115k miles. Original strut was starting to leak. I had the 3rd setting on the 6112 Bilsteins which gives a .8" lift. So far, the ride, steering, handling are very similar to the stock units. Maybe just a tad firmer over the bumps. Two hours and...

    Simco rear springs 351-893HD

    2014 Ram 1500 CC 4x4 with 114k miles. When towing the 21ft toy hauler, the rear of the truck would sag a bit. I installed a set of Air Lift bags inside the factory coils years ago. The Air Lift units worked well to reduce the sag of the truck's rear end while towing. Scored a brand new set of...

    Exhaust manifold Leak

    Just a heads up. Talked with the Ram dealer Service Advisor concerning the broken exhaust manifold studs. He stated that one hemi truck came into the shop after the customer tried the weld technique to remove the residual broken stud. Because the negative battery cable was NOT disconnected...

    BE44-44 transfer case oil

    Dealer wants nearly $50/quart for the tranny fluid that goes into the transfer case. Our Shoppers store here in Arizona carries the full line of Amsoil on the shelf. $17.99/quart. Meets/exceeds the requirements of the Mopar fluid, for about half the cost!!

    Advice for towing car with a 5.7/3.92

    Great advice. Especially if you tow. If you have the limited slip in the rear, ithe fluid will get dirty after 20-25k miles with clutch plate debris. Use the 75w-140 full syn fluid and modifier.

    Just need a little brake advice.

    Flush your brake fluid also! Had a friend that bragged about having 165k miles on his Isuzu Trooper II and never touching the brakes. He had a trailer with an ATV he was pulling. On the way back, we went down a very long downhill and he lost his brakes!! His wife was scared to death. We waited...

    Big Engine (5.7, 5.9, 6.4, 6.7, 8.0, etc) vs Small Engine (3.0, 3.6)... Towing?

    How about some pics of the engine of your truck. You have a turbo on a gasser 3.6L engine? Or is it a 3.0 Diesel engine? We are confused. Pop the hood, snap a pic.

    2021 Ram Laramie

    Friend had a 2012 ram 1500 Hemi. Had a similar issue with not starting. The dealer installed an additional ground strap in the engine compartment. Not sure from what component to what area, but had zero issues after that until he traded the truck in for a Joop Wrangler 7 years later.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    92,000 miles on the clock of the 2014 ram 1500 with the 5.7. Installed new NGK iridium spark plugs. Big pain reaching past the power booster and last cylinder. Got it done though. Over 2 hours, first time. Anyone putting plugs in this engine needs to have several different size ratchet...
