    You said in your first post that it's non-etorque. Are you doubting that for some reason? Every etorque equipped Ram 1500 has stop/start, so if there is no button to disable autostart you don't have etorque.

    etorque removal - what’s involved?

    For sure, you can turn it off every time you start your truck. I decided it was worth a hundred bucks to install a device that kept it turned off without needing to press a button every time I started my truck lol. Our current Ram 1500 doesn’t have etorque so it’s not an issue anymore for me.

    2026 RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7 recommended oil 0w-20.

    There is very little difference between 0w-20 and 5w-20. The difference is at cold start, where the 0w-20 actually has a slight advantage. Both are 20 weight oils at operating temp. IIRC Ram made that switch for 2021 or 2022. My concern came several years back (with 4th gens) when Ram...

    Is the 110 W inverter pure or modified sine wave?

    Thanks for verifying that. (y)

    Is the 110 W inverter pure or modified sine wave?

    I've read that it's modified sine wave, but I've never hung a scope on the output to check it. Now that I'm retired I don't have access to an oscilloscope.

    Do you have the Sport hood or regular hood?

    Duratrac replacement

    Tirerack rates the KO3's wet traction at 9 out of 10, just like the Falken AT4W's. It's your money, buy whichever tires you are comfortable with. But it does no one any good to spread unfounded rumors about one person's perceived experiences.

    2022 Laramie with Multifunction tailgate - Bed cover options

    Honestly, even if our 2020 Limited had the power up feature we would almost never use it. I can't tell you the last time either one of us opened the tailgate in the traditional way (lowering it). We almost exclusively open it barn door style because it makes getting things in and out of the...

    Non etorque, nice. Congrats on your new (to you) truck!

    2018 2500 Cummings ABS lights

    I don’t have an answer for your question, but what’s a Cummings? I’m just kidding but it’s actually Cummins (no g in there). The guys with the Cummins engine sometimes get a little defensive when people call it a Cummings. I hope someone can help you with this.

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    That’s the prevailing theory. I’m not sure anyone has actually proven that though. But if I was buying a Ram 1500 that I plan to idle a lot I’d go with the Hurricane. I think you made a good choice.

    I see you’re hitting the bottle again tonight. Cheers :ROFLMAO: 🥃 🥃 🥃

    Dynamic headlights

    Assuming you mean adaptive headlights when you say dynamic. Which means you have a Limited or Longhorn trim level. Unfortunately with those headlights you can’t just replace a bulb. You have to replace the entire headlight assembly.

    Air duspension

    You’d likely have better luck posting this in a 4th gen forum. 5th gens have a redesigned system and for the most part 5th gens owners havn’t seen the same issues 4th gens owners have had. Our 2020 Limited has been flawless as far as air suspensions goes. And now that we’re in Florida I don’t...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    That’s my point…it wouldn’t be a bigger bang for the buck because in order to recoup their development costs they’d necessarily have to increase the price for the trucks with the 6.4, likely out of may buyer’s comfort zone for a 1500. Look at the increased cost of the 5.7 Hemi in 2026 models...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    You have no way of knowing how much it cost to put in the Wrangler. My guess is it did cost a lot. Hence the very high sticker price of one. They need to recoup their development costs. And it’s a specialty vehicle not a high volume seller like the 1500 would be. Kind of like the TRX was a...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    You’ve been hitting that bottle a little too much if you think it wouldn’t cost that much to adapt the 6.4 for the 1500. But who am I to judge?🥃

    Sport hood decal removal

    I’ve seen other threads where this is discussed. IIRC it’s removable but I think there are mounting holes behind it so it’ll look bad with no badge. If you’re wanting to replace it with a black badge I seem to remember people saying you can’t get just the badge. That was a few years ago...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    That’s the beauty of living in a free country…you don’t have to agree with me. You’re missing my point. Stellantis wasn’t interested in spending any more than necessary to offer a 1500 with a V8 again. Upgrading that V8 engine option to the 6.4 would have cost them a lot more in R&D money...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    Trust me, I’d love to have that option. But it wouldn’t help their bottom line. Keep in mind that they were likely trying to reintroduce a V8 option at the lowest cost for them to do that. Most Ram 1500 buyers who want a V8 option are satisfied with the 5.7.
