    Big Discrepancy on Maintenance Items Schedule

    Picked up a new (left over) 2024 1500 Limited Elite this past Monday. 5.7L Hemi eTorque. Going over the maintenance schedule, I see a huge difference in the recommendations for the Accessory Drive Belt - one schedule says replace every 15 years or 150,000 miles while the other schedule says to...

    Service cruise control

    Maybe there's ice or mud covering the adaptive cruise control's radar transceiver (the eyeball)?

    A. Accident damage thoughts…

    You absolutely can file a diminished value claim with the party or parties at fault. It's easy to find the formula online that will give you that value.

    MARK DODGE Ordering Discounts for 2025 1500's

    Looking at the Ram website. There's a link down under "Vehicles" that brings up a lot of info on the 2025 Ram 1500, but nothing that lets you see how one can be ordered. So, how are people ordering the 2025s ?

    Should You Use Nitrogen in Your truck Tires?

    The earth's atmosphere is about 70% nitrogen. The only advantage I see to a pure nitrogen tire fill is that it's missing the ~21% oxygen in the air. Oxygen is highly reactive, so not having it in your tire might reduce deterioration that might occur inside the tire if you're keeping the tires...

    Adding Bed Weight for Winter Driving

    I live 2 miles up an 8-10% grade from the main highway. There are several curves on the way up or down. So I keep 5 bags of sand at 70 lbs each all the way in the back of the 6'4" bed. I also have Blizzak tires mounted. I'm not worried about traction to get going, what I worry about is...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    The maintenance schedule for my 2019 Laramie 1500 does not show anything about changing the brake fluid. Every other vehicle I own, or can remember previously owning, requires replacing the brake fluid at least every 4 years. It's really not an expensive service. What are other members of...

    What size gas tank do I have?

    I bought it used. Only 42K miles. It's a Crew Cab 4X4 - at least that's what its window sticker that I attached says. It has the 6' 4" bed which isn't mentioned on the window sticker. I'm wondering why there's both a 23 gal and a 26 gal tank...... They're so close in size.

    What size gas tank do I have?

    2019 Laramie 1500 The window sticker (see attached) doesn't say anything about the gas tank capacity. I read something by another forum member that said a 33 gal tank is standard if you have the 6'4" bed, which I have. Page 530 of the owner's manual (see attached) says I could have either a...

    Odd size spare

    Picked up a 2019 1500 Laramie last week. The mounted tires are the correct original size - 275/65-18. But the spare is a size that's not even available anymore - 245/70-18. An online tire calculator shows the 275/65-18 at 629 revs/mile and the 245/70-18 at 641 revs/mile. That's a difference...
