    Not just the 5.7, all hemi variants are coming back...

    Thanks for the link. It's a mixed bag for me on bringing back 20 year old engines. I like going forward...not going backwards with tech and engines With that said, i will continue to preach that the issues is pricing, not what powers the trucks. Not really interested in a v8 ram bare bones that...

    Ram Rev Delayed To 2026 Ramcharger Due 2025

    So this makes me sad. I’m starting my ev truck search and right now the only decent one out there that is cost effective is the ford lighting. I test drove one and really liked it. Just waiting for ram to come out with theirs because I just can’t live without ramboxes. I love storage and more is...

    is the 6.4 coming to the 2026 1500

    Pricing has been horrendous and has almost killed dodge brand in itself. On the ram side over the years have messed around with trims, engines and packages to justify those increase prices, while not producing enough of the lower trims. I’m leaning heavy towards ford products right now and...

    is the 6.4 coming to the 2026 1500

    The problem for me isn’t the engine. I don’t care about what gas, electric, hybrid, hydrogen doesn’t matter…because the X factor is price. If they bring back the v8, they will increase prices…because they think there is a demand for it and make it a premium. I love my 5.7 in my ram (3.5 years...

    Help! AlfaOBD disabled settings

    Wish I can help. Ironically I ordered the same Bluetooth odb port and security bypassand just starting to play around with some of the settings. Is there a way to save the default settings before you start screwing around? 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep...

    ABS MODULE BACK ORDER ? 😤

    I think the OP said that the module was bad. Don’t know if flashing it broke the module or the module was just broke all together. For us, if the module is good, a flash works fine. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    ABS MODULE BACK ORDER ? 😤

    Ouch.. this is bad. My ram was part of the recall, and all it was a flash firmware update. After that, I notice a couple of things with the parking sensors. They beep a little more, but they don't apply brakes anymore like they used to. Maybe its more sensitive to speed but a a slow craw...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    You can tell on those... the stubborn folks that think anything new is automatically bad. It is a touchy subject, for those that reject change. Lighter engine, more power....it's what we wanted. Now we got it, folks always want to complain about something. They will drop the price and they...

    HEMI coming back to RAM 1500?!

    I did test drove both…the high output is no joke just fast. It just shows how dated the 5.7 engine is. Im actually going to go away from any of the gas engines and will get a ram rev or ford lighting. Love my 6.4 and will keep that forever. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge...

    HEMI coming back to RAM 1500?!

    Don’t think I would be happy with a 20 year old engine and call for celebration. And even if they did bring back the 5.7, it’s underpowered compared to the i6 engine. If they make any mods or improvements to that v8, it will just take longer for them to release it and cost money. I have my v8...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    Voted for the i6 turbo. Lighter weight, more power. Simple folks. V8 in a light duty is pretty much dead. Heavy duty is a different story because of how it’s used. Most light duty folks just get it for the people/truck option and don’t use the truck part (bed and towing). Those that worry...

    New recall?

    I’m laughing at these recalls..because the ABS one, there is no fix yet. So what’s the point of the safety recall if there is no fix. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    hmmm...i see on my local dealership has 2025 orders. Cheapest 2025 ram bighorn (v6 engine) they have is listed for $62k. Wow....just wow. i guess it will sit right next to the 2024 big horn they are trying to sell as well, with rebates of $10k for under $50 that is still sitting there.
