    Pentastar or Hurricane I6?

    Appreciate the response. I’m not highly knowledgeable in Ram’s engine history. I was told that the engine I have (eTorque) was unreliable but if its the same as the Pentastar then maybe I got a lemon. I fish a lot and tow a trailer with a Hobie kayak, so nothing heavy. Occasionally will haul...

    Pentastar or Hurricane I6?

    Thanks! I’m not super brand loyal. But when it comes to full-size trucks I just like the Ram’s aesthetics, IVI, and fuel economy. Most likely will stick to the Pentastar but I was curious to know if many users have had later models with the Hurricane I6 and not had any major issues.

    Pentastar or Hurricane I6?

    I have a 2019 Big Horn with the eTorque V6. Apparently that was the first generation. No issues till I hit 109,000 miles. Cylinder coil needed to be replaced and now the mechanics found a coolant leak in the same faulty cylinder (#4). Shop suggested sealant instead of full gasket repair and said...

    Suggestions for a place to replace spark plugs

    Hi. I need to replace the spark plugs on my 2019 1500 Bighorn 3.6L. Got one quote from Meineke for $925 and said most of this is labor because of the need to remove the intake plenum. Is this the average cost for this job or are their cheaper places? TIA!

    iPhone GPS out of whack when connected via Carplay

    I tested the embedded navi and experience the same issue. Seems it's a problem with the GPS antenna. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Googled the issue and one solution I found was to update the software. But I did a check on driveuconnect.com and no update is available for my truck.

    iPhone GPS out of whack when connected via Carplay

    I recently bought 2019 Bighorn that has the 8.5" screen with Uconnect and Navigation. When I test drove it I connected my iPhone to test Carplay. When I used Google Maps the GPS was putting the CVP (current vehicle position) all over the map, but never synced with the route. I thought it was...

    How to reset the trip odometer

    I have a 2019 Ram Bighorn with the 7.5” cluster. You have to make sure that Trip Info is set as one of your Favorite Menus. Go to Screen Setup, scroll to Favorites Menu and make sure the box for Trip Info is selected. Now with Trip Info as one of your Favorites just scroll to it. You can then...
