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

    Nothing wrong with that. I’d guess that the majority of people just let it do its thing.

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

    Thanks for proving my point. :ROFLMAO: And for the record, all 5th gens w/hemi etorque have the button to disable stop/start. My daughter’s 2019 Rebel had it, and so did the 2020 Laramie I owned.

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

    This thread is about etorque. One recent post isn’t a chain of replies. But of course, you can’t ever admit when you make a mistake. The person who said there is a button to turn it off was quoting me. And I didn’t mention anything about stop/start. You’re right of course, there is a button...

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

    Actually it's the etorque system that's being discussed, not just stop/start. You can permanently turn stop/start off with an autostart eliminator. But you're still stuck with the etorque system and all the issues that may come with it in time. I think you're confusing MDS with stop/start...

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

    That's like saying the rope they are hanging you with is made of nylon instead of hemp so it's less abraisive on your neck. :D That was a joke btw. Agreed, I won't own one either. While we do have a choice of Hemi w/etorque or something else, it's be nice to still have the choice of Hemi with...

    2021 Ram 5.7 etorque water pump replacement

    When I do a parts search on rockauto they show different water pumps for etorque vs non-etorque. So I would conclude that there is a difference. Edit: After looking on a Mopar site it looks like there are definitely differences between them. Not sure what the differences are but they have...

    Fire at fuel cell

    I can’t give you any help with this but I’m very interested in hearing what the cause was.

    Ram Box Lights

    I doubt it's a fuse. Try removing and reinstalling the lights. Unless something has changed, the connection at the light seems a little suspect to me. I've had to do that a few times on our truck.

    2019 Ram 1500 Laramie

    This looks like AI to me.

    Looking to go from Ranger to Ram 1500 with winter driving being the reason. Which trim?

    Snow mode must be new. Our 2020 Limited doesn’t have that. But 4x4 and anti-spin diff has worked great for the Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho winters. In my opinion tires are more important than any specialty mode a vehicle might have. Make sure the tires you choose have the 3PMSF symbol.

    TPMS 2021 > 2024

    Do you have links to those threads? To be clear, I’m going on what I’ve read in other forums…and the fact that the part number is the same. My actual experience is with 2019, 2020 and 2021 models, and haven’t messed with anything newer.

    TPMS 2021 > 2024

    My understanding is that they are the same sensors for 2019 thru 2024. The fact that Mopar shows the same part number would lead me to believe that's true. It's been my experience that it can take 50 or 60 miles of driving before the truck recognizes new sensors, so if you try them don't give...

    5W30

    You won't have any issues switching to 5w-30. I've been using that for three years in our 2020 Limited. My opinion is that the Hemi was designed to use 5w-30, but Stellantis/Ram switched to 5w-20 and later switched to 0w-20 for slightly better CAFE ratings. Research I've done leans toward...

    DIY Etorque battery pack replacement

    Your biggest issue is that it's not just a 48v battery. It's a module with an integrated 48v battery. It's likely that it's the module that fails and not the actual 48v battery inside. The only source for new 48v modules is Mopar. I think you see where this is going. Maybe you can find one...

    Regarding air cleaner for my 2022 Ram limited

    It's always best to include pics if possible when asking questions like this. You're fine if the filter fits the air box and seals all the way around, and the cover fits correctly. Many filters will work for more than one application. But if you're that concerned about it just go to any auto...
