Here is the American Truck out-the-door price on 29 June 2025. Anybody got a current review with an air ride Limited? https://www.americantrucks.com/hellwig-ram1500-rear-sway-bar-for-stock-height-7709.html

At least my wife is happy.

Wish I had known about the silver raids before we bought the new truck. I must be loosing it. :(

What a great thread! Got our BakFlip F1 hard cover in yesterday. It said on the BakFlip website that it was for a Rambox bed "w/silver rails" but I didn't know what they meant. When attempting to install the hard cover on our new 2025 Limited, that came with a Mopar soft cover, the BakFlip...

Sticker price was $89,395. But I ended up with about $10,500 in incentives, and about $33,000 for trade in on the 2021 Laramie minus the $10,000 still owed on it. Financed about $56,000 at 3.9% for 72 months. Payments would be $871.94 if I paid the minimum. I'll likely pay $1,027 per month...

I consider "Longhorn" as a special options package, much the same way "GT" is treated. But in different years, they limited it to different models.

HO engine in the truck we got seems pretty weak when I called on it. I have a feeling the dealership filled it with 87 octane fuel before we left the lot. I just love dealerships. We will have to see. I've got a lot of adjustments and add-ons to make it like my wife wants it. Right now...

Thanks a lot! Really helps when deciding to buy one of these turbocharged things or wait for the Hemi to return next year.

Found a copy of the manual online. I believe this is the primary point. The engineer is likely correct. However, the warranty needs to be considered. The manual is more definitive on this than I imagined. No allowance is made for 87 octane fuel in the HO. Looks like 91 octane will be the...

Found this article on the question. While the high-output version calls for premium fuel, the chief engineer for this truck says it runs fine (albeit less powerfully) on 87 octane...

Good to know. I don't have a manual yet and was just going off what I found online for the HO engine. (y)

Good point. Maybe I'll just get myself a cabin in the woods and a bicycle for the wife. I'll need somewhere to stay after trading her Laramie for a bicycle. 🤣

Going to the dealership this afternoon. We will likely come home with a new Limited for the wife with the 3.0L I6 Hurricane HO Twin Turbo. The literature says it can run on 87 octane fuel if not used for towing and high performance. Is this true? My wife is 58 years old. She does have a...

Thanks. I suspect this is a connector not properly reseated after the MDS delete. But I have no idea where to look. I've always wanted to try the alfaOBD software. And now might be the time.

My son's truck. It's a 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel with approx. 180,000. It developed the Hemi-tick. Private shop performed MDS delete and new parts. No tick. Two weeks later, the instrument cluster begins to flash and goes dark. All instruments are dead. When it happens, windows will not work...
