    how often is everyone changing oil

    Did you run the exhaust cross pipe directly under the trans drain plug too?

    Exhaust manifold question...

    And DO NOT even consider putting AFE shorty headers on it. You WILL regret it.

    Recall: Tailgates coming open

    I just got my recall notice today. Don't look for me to run down to the local dealer.....that shop gets nowhere near my truck.

    Tech Authority - How Good/Bad Is The Subscription?

    Last year, I bought that flimsy little USB for my 2020. I tried copying it to my PC hard drive to avoid breaking that tiny plastic piece of junk every time I want to use it, but it will not open from the hard drive. "Can't find USB" or some such error. Did they sabotage that flimsy little...

    how often is everyone changing oil

    Like my '94 and '04 Cummins-powered trucks, my 2020 Hemi gets a fresh charge of Amsoil annually.....5W-20 in the new ride. Back in my diesel days, I always sent out a sample for analysis, and even after 20k miles, I was throwing away good oil. And I put a combined 530,000 miles on those trucks.

    "inoculation" against broken exhaust stud?

    I drive a 2020 5.7 Hemi Big Horn. I'm retired, so it currently has only 22k on the clock. Do I understand correctly that installing shorty headers with new hardware will prevent bolt / stud failures in the future? Can anyone recommend the AFE headers?

    Anybody add tow hooks?

    I put a pair of black hooks on my 1500 in September.....purchased off eBay. I haven't driven the truck even 400 miles since (retired), and the truck never sits out in the weather. The paint on the hooks is already flecked and showing rust. And the plastic trim pieces for the bumper cutouts...

    Bypass the UConnect startup screen?

    It's a "legal thing"? Are you sure?? It's the camel's nose under the tent, I tell ya! How long before they program the truck to go completely dead at 100k miles?

    Bypass the UConnect startup screen?

    Is there a way to bypass the Uconnect startup screen? You know.....where you're commanded to comply with all applicable motor vehicle laws and the Ram terms of service?

    transmission pan part number?

    I recently got a new pan/filter for my 8-speed in preparation for changing the fluid. The Mopar part number came up 68225344AA. Using that Mopar number, I ordered a new one from Summit Racing, and the part received has ZF part no. 0501 219 037 embossed on the bottom of the pan. The OE pan has...

    Is that Amsoil EAo17 filter a larger diameter as well?
