For diff fluid replacement I used Mobil 1 75w140 (no additive) with the 3.92 limited slip in my 2011 Ram and didn’t notice any difference. Plan on doing same in the 2022 Ram when 100k arrives if I still have this one. I use 75w90 Severe Gear in the drag car 9” that has a spool w/ 5.14.

Do the 2025-26 start / stop system no longer use the 48v system (battery behind rear seat back) that was in the 2024 and previous eTorque trucks? Following this thread and not up to date on this 12v S/S system.

I’d be interested in hearing from the SO owners with the 3.92 diff that tows a 7,000# trailer 10k+ miles a year. Fuel milage, engine/ trans oil temps towing 65-70 mph.

Update us if you get FCW disabled. I have a 2022 that I still haven’t taken in for the ABS module config mismatch recall and don’t plan on it.

I agree with defective or blocked sensor. Granted the FCW resets with Key off /on, but have you tried manually turning the FCW On Or Off or changing the sensitivity?

2004 Hemi only had 345 HP, I had one in a Durango and the 2011 Hemi 390 hp that replaced it was much stronger for towing. My 2022 Hemi is more of the same for towing. I vote Hemi

Starting in 2016 the needle diameter in the rollers were increased with less needles needed.

Unless you’re towing over 7k# E rated tires are unnecessary imho. If 20” the stock SL or going up to a XL ride best and will tow fine.

I installed Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in XL at 30k miles, air them to 36F / 34R cold and use this setting for towing 7k# trailer as well. I ended up using this air setting with the original equipment Bridgestone Dueler HL. Initially I was using 40-42 psi when new and after 10k miles the centers...

The chain links were worn 25% of link thickness and this equates to over 3/4” of extended travel using a 6 link spring bar setting. They don’t get lubed and to be expected. The replacement chain kit is inexpensive. Take a look at the inside ends of your chains and measure thickness with a dial...

I’ve only used a standard Draw Tite/ Reese WD hitch with 1000# bars and have worn out a set of bar chains and the hook end on the lift bracket of my set-up with many miles of towing. Some have that infinitely adjustable spring bar adjuster in the more expensive WD hitches which is excellent...

I’m towing #7k 24’ enclosed car hauler 10k miles yearly with a 2022 Ram 1500. Prior was the 2011 Ram. My trucks tow best with front of trailer up to 1” lower than rear of trailer, Never level. I use a standard equalizer (no sway control) to lower front of truck by 1/2” minimum. What you...

Just now I looked at the install instructions and says this “The installation process will take about one hour. The radio must stay on during this time”. Did it take this long to install?
