    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Reading the 2025 RAM 1500 owners manual... It says 3.0L HO needs 91+ gas, while 3.0L SO is OK with 87. But there is this remark: "The use of 91 or higher octane premium gasoline will allow these engines to operate to optimal performance. This increase in performance is most noticeable in hot...

    Windshield wiper replacement?

    ACDelco wiper refills didn't fit into OEM wiper blades. It is a bummer because ACDelco refills are made in Japan and overall feel very high quality. Next step - ordered wiper refills at Temu for $3 per pair, will see how it performs :)

    Oil Change Intervals

    And how many miles/months is that?

    Farewell 5.7

    I have GM 6.2L in my garago - 6th Gen Camaro. What I see on Camaro forums is that DOD is a big problem, plus dealing with direct injection issues long term is not fun. 6.2L is a great engine, but only without DOD and other fuel saving tricks (which is not available for Silverado - it is always...

    Windshield wiper replacement?

    I use them right now, but OEM work better. Michelins from Costco are wobbly since they are not sitting as tight on wiper arms as OEMs. I will try ACDelco wiper refills to see if they fit OEM wipers. If it works - it will be the best of both worlds.

    Windshield wiper replacement?

    I've tried multiple wiper blade brands, including Michelin's from Costco. They don't work in the same way as OEM ones. They make noize and they don't wipe as dry as OEM. I'm using OEM wipers now, they are not very expensive - ~$25 each on eBay. However, Mopar doesn't offer wiper refills like...

    Ext Warranty value?

    This page is from 2017 and I don't see this moneyback guarantee in 2023 contract anymore... However, just pulled the trigger and purchased 5 years 60k miles maximum protection plan for my 2020 Rebel. I think $880 worth living worry-free (mostly) for 2 more years after factory warranty expires.

    Ext Warranty value?

    Actually you can. This is what Zeigler responded to me: The contract can be transferred to 1 new owner. Mopar has a $50 transfer fee. Should that owner sell the vehicle, they cannot transfer it again. The contract is then Null and Void. You can also cancel the contract and get a pro-rated...

    Ext Warranty value?

    Never had an extended warranty on my cars before, but considering getting it from Zeigler. $880 for 2 extra years, up to 60k miles. I already had an exhaust manifold replaced a month ago, plus leaking rear window this winter.

    Vibration after Bilstein 5100 leveling??

    Old thread, but reminds me my story. Leveled with 5100 on 5th setting. On 35" tires - all good, no vibration. But I've recently swapped to 32" Big Horn wheels for a smoother ride in the city and to improve trailer towing MPG. Until 80mph the ride is super smooth. However, after 80mph I can feel...

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    After switching to Mopar power running boards I can't look on regular running boards sticking out of the truck. Best looking running boards are the boards you can't see and that don't touch the ground while you offroad. Just few days after installing them I went offroading and I've stuck. I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    After getting passenger exhaust manifold replaced under warranty (tick is gone!), I've decided to pull the trigger on Mopar power running boards. Local dealer that did warranty repairs had one in stock, plus price was better then online ($1,500). It took me few hours to install it and activate...

    Rear window leak

    Try replacing the 3rd brake light seal, as I did based on SeaHog's advice. That's $10 half-hour job, won't harm.

    Rear window leak

    Thank you so much! I've replaced the stock gasket with this one (got it in local Home Depot) and leak is gone! Just to be safe I've also used two tubes of permatex on the glass.
