    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Nothing exciting. Bought another 7 quarts of Valvoline Restore and Protect. Did a drain and fill prematurely about 1,300 miles ago. Kept my old filter on. Fella online removed his oil filter after having ran R&P for the first time and found quite a bit of gunk built up in the filter. So I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Lots of debate on this. Like was mentioned above it's Mobilfluid LT. I went with Redline MT-LV for mine. It's listed as a compatible replacement. https://www.redlineoil.com/mt-lv-70w75w

    Yes, hit the "+ Quote" button and then once you scroll to your message box or you press "Reply" you will have an option to "insert quotes". I'm unsure of the way you'd do that via tapatalk but should be very similar.

    If you'll hit that multi-quote button you can reply to multiple people in one go just as a friendly heads up.

    It started with Service Shifter, then just went crazy

    Replace the battery if it's over 3 yrs old even if it tests good would be my first response. You can easily upgrade to an H8 AGM from Walmart for a fair price. I had the same issues but mine was due to a short in my security bypass cable I had installed for my OBD scanner. So if you have...

    Tempting fate, but I just can’t help myself.

    Awesome. Hope it continues to run very well for you! My 2020 is at 76k right now. Starting next year I’m hoping to cut back to about 8-10k miles put on the Ram each year vs the 14-15k I’m averaging now. Would love to see my truck make it to 200-250k miles.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I've had an interesting few weeks with my truck. I've been dealing with an intermittent issue where I'd get a message that says Auto Start/Stop disabled, Electronic Stability Control disabled, and cruise control disabled. Some times the parking brake light would blink on and off. One time the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Been pretty frustrated honestly. I've been having some vibration on the truck that's been driving me nuts. I keep up with my rotations and balancing of my tires. Very strict with every 5k miles. I've got General Grabber ATX 275/65r20s and I'm not very pleased with them at this point. They're...

    Got it aligned yesterday - Driving better but the shop didn't center up the steering wheel so back to the shop I go 😡

    Rough ride

    @Ready Go - I drove our 2024 CR-V and felt much of the same thing in my truck. My beater is a beater. So I expect it to drive like crap lol. The CR-V is making me question if maybe I'm just being way too anal about it. Interested to see how things go for you too.

    Rough ride

    Also interested in your experience. I've had the ORG springs on Eibachs for around 40,000 miles now. At 72,xxx miles I'm starting to tire of the driving manners. I feel every single imperfection of the road surface. There are stretches when it's perfect and then stretches where it drives me...

    22 Big Horn MGU

    You won't be able to use the electrical/"computer" portion of a used one without flashing it. If you disassemble a used one you can replace the mechanical parts and run without flashing. Yes, there's a nice post already done where someone replaced bearings only.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    As an owner of a 2020 with an E-torque this makes me happy. Means parts are gonna be available longer.

    BLAU transmission fluid change kits

    I actually chose to go with the blauparts kit over the PPE pan. The PPE pan is BETTER however, if I continue at 70,000 mile intervals, it's not worth it imo. My truck already has a transmission cooler (I think it's an option and not standard. Can't recall though) and I don't do any real severe...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ordered Timken front wheel bearing assemblies for the front and Trakmotive Extended Travel CV Axles. Should be in later this week. Been getting some vibration that I'm trying to track down. Also, had some electrical gremlins that others have traced to the ABS system. Didn't have time to...
