I don't think I've owned any new vehicle that needed new brake pads. That's usually 4-7 years of ownership up to 60,000 miles of driving. I've had to change plenty of my old German beaters, but that's usually deferred maintenance by the previous 7 owners. What's funny is how brakes are viewed...

It is recommended by ZF to do the fluid and integrated pan/filter at around 60K for the one in the RAM 1500. Other versions it's 70K or higher. I would change the filter since you are already dropping the pan and changing that fluid.

For me, I actually want a full EV for around town and suburb trips and errands. Makes sense, I can also charge it up at home at off-peak hours and really save some money over a charge station at freaking 54 cents a kilowatt. I would also like a full size truck or SUV with a hybrid system...

Oh sorry, yes, they should have emailed you a PDF with the document (your digital signature should be on the document). If not, just contact them again for it.

He has the 3.6L V6 Pentastar. As far as I know, their temp ranges should mirror the 5.7L.

Wow, I thought I had issues at the dealer, that is some BS right there.

I don't disagree. RAM sucks with customer service after sale, at least with my experience. Basic things like returning phone calls, I've never experienced such a lack of basic service in my 30 years of owning vehicles.

Essentially, the right roller is your gauge/dash lights. Without your headlights on, you can turn it up until the soft stop, in will be full 100% bright. However, if you turn on your wipers (like say in rain conditions) your driving lights automatically turn on, which will automatically make...

I agree RAM is no different than other manufacturers when it comes to this, they are relatively rare, I mean look at Toyota right now with their Tundra engine recall. That being said, it's the customer service that is RAMs and Stellantis issue. How they handle it is where they maybe running a...

That would be awesome, maybe have the fan turn on a little earlier, not effecting the stock thermostat setup. I suspect the fan programming maybe different from years to years? What's the lowest temp you've heard your fans turn on?

You can request one of their siphon kits as well, though you have to pay for it (but reusable), in that situation you don't actually have to do an oil change yourself. Also handy when you accidentally overfill your oil or your dealer does. Quick-Draw Pump | Blackstone Laboratories In the...

I think the thermostat range is 204 - 220 or so, the fan usually kicks in at about 230F, at least on my 2019. I typically don't see above 220F unless I'm in stop and go traffic or stuck at a stop light for a while. Even very slowly creeping up an off-road trail in the height of summer heat...

Oil temps does seem a little high for not towing, it's usually about 10F higher than coolant under stress without a load. However, it can go as high as 285F before you get a warning on the cluster, usually something as aggressive towing near the limit up a gradient for several miles at full...
