    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Thanks! Was my first one and may be my last lol. Good learning experience regardless.

    Truck did a lot of work hauling stones and rock to my back yard for my retaining wall build. Handles half a scoop of #57 rock like a champ.

    2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman Warlock Is The Working Man’s Rebel

    Pretty cool. Looks like what Ford does with their STX package or has done in the past. I'm sure they'll sell well.

    Spark plug change - 2019 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7

    Rockauto has been around forever. Used to have ads regularly on prime time TV. I've shopped them for years and never had any issue. They'll usually get you on shipping but the prices are fair. Always worth cross shopping with Amazon and Walmart too before pulling the trigger on Rockauto though.

    I've had the regular kykr screen protector since first few months of ownership. Pano sunroof and 12" screen. No issues with glare for me unless the screen is off. I keep my sunroof shade open quite a bit since we got the sunroof tinted. Sides and sunroof at 20% tint for reference.

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Yep, my response was more towards 2023BighornCA as his comment read like Ford was using the same transmission as our Ram. No problem though - regardless I'm glad we don't have the 10 speed!

    Loud Noise on Startup

    They don't share a transmission at all afaik. Sometimes my truck sounds like it's gonna explode when I start it. Just very aggressive cold start. Sometimes it gives the quick tick the manual says to ignore. Otherwise I don't know that my truck rattles when I crank it. Sometimes it is violent...

    No issues. Truck seems to be doing great. I'm at 54,000 miles now. So I guess I've put around 5,000 miles on it. I use 4auto pretty regularly in the rain. My tires/truck loves to break the rear end loose when the ground is wet.

    I'd like to break up with her sometimes myself but it sure does look good clean!

    I feel like I've seen you do this numerous times over the past few yrs lol. Is that accurate? It obviously impacts me zero but I'm like "dang, giving some more love to that corvette! This is like the 100th time." Lol

    Been on my OEM battery for almost 4 yrs now and still going strong 🤷‍♂️. Probably should get ready to upgrade due to lifespan though.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Picked the truck up yesterday. Nice to have it not sound like crap on start up. Took an extra day because I left my wheel lock key in my locked center console safe. Other wise pretty painless experience. No long wait time for me compared to others. Hopefully I don't have to revisit this thread...

    Ready to buy...but have some questions

    I've got a 2020 with 52,xxx miles on it so far. You can see my signature for total options but it's been pretty much flawless besides the exhaust manifolds which have plagued the Hemi for many moons. I've had no weird abnormalities with my etorque system. Pano sunroof has been flawless. 12"...
