    Farewell 5.7

    I have never leased and I have seen 42 month leases. What happens in a 42 month lease with a 36 month warranty?

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Can you expand on your statement? Looking for the correct information. Some info I have gathered: Local station gets 87 and 93 delivered and is mixed at the pump. Alcohol will raise the octane but has less BTUs so less mpg Local station last I checked was about 50 cents more (maybe 60) for 89...

    Bed Extender and Drilling into Bed

    https://www.motorbiscuit.com/are-ram-1500-pickup-trucks-aluminum/ Bed is not aluminum. If it was I would not use stainless steel as the aluminum would be sacrificial.

    Rear window leak - how to clean water stain off headliner?

    I believe it has been previously posted about hydrogen peroxide for cleaning the water stains. I have not done it and have no experience with it. Some info on it for a quick perusal. https://www.cleanandsimplecleaning.com/removing-stains-hydrogen-peroxide/

    2020 1500 DT Hood Corrosion??

    Talked to the owner of the body shop I use. After 2 attempts to repair a relative's Mustang hood, the relative opted for an after market hood. Aluminum can also be more difficult to do a Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) I have been told, although I have had a few small dings removed from my hood.

    Coolant loss

    It came from an EMS kit, had an old partial roll. The same tape they stick on the gauze after having blood drawn. There is a picture of it on the dipstick in the thread I posted. Update: I believe it is this style of medical tape...

    Coolant loss

    I add a piece of medical tape to the dipstick when I check the level, absorbs the coolant just right and makes it easy to read, been doing it for the past 3 years.

    Piston Slap

    I have a 2019 Ram and this issue is not addressed in the 2019 Ram 1500 Owner's Manual however from what I can recall it is covered in later years. This was a topic on the forum and from what I recall it is as you say, "From what I understand it's normal."

    Oil Filter anti-drain back and bypass valves...?

    My Ram makes adjustments based on my driving highway vs city, no towing on my part, very low idle hours, some heavy loads but not often (grown up children). I basically use the Ram for highway trips these days with some Costco, Home Depot runs, minimal city. When the truck was new I drove it...
