I get foot pain when holding it wide-open throttle for 300 miles, but I can usually walk it off while pumping in more gas, then repeat.

I switched from being a long time, frustrated Ford guy. My 2015 developed the Hemi-tick around 60k. By 80k I was getting warnings about a misfire in Cylinder 5. Eventually around 105k someone correctly diagnosed it as cam & lifter failure. I then bought a 2021 and my first ever extended...

Were you parking on an incline or decline? That would certainly make it roll faster.

Sounds like you need to find a different dealer for service.

Don’t overlook building your own sub box. It’s a very easy project even for mechanically-challenged folks. Watch a few online videos if needed. I built this and put it in my 2021 bighorn. Yes there are important factors to pay attention to but it’s not rocket science.

My 2015 Bighorn opened earlier, but my 2021 doesn't open until 210 (maybe 10% of the time at 208). Everything is bone stock. It's no concern as this is all well within normal parameters.

Like clockwork, my t-stat opens at 210 every time. The coolant drops to about 196-198 and then stabilizes at 206 degrees. I've seen it rise to 220 sitting inside the carwash, but it usually stays at 206 even when I'm towing my boat or snowmobile trailer.

The 5.7L is a great engine. The big things that you listed are all non-issues. Electronics I think last as long as any other brand, which in my opinion is not long enough. Ram trucks have their issues just like any vehicle. Snoop around the forum enough and you'll see complaints about leaks...

My 2015 had the 32 gallon tank, but like most, never was programmed for it. Therefore when my truck thought that it was near the end of the standard 26 gallon, it would say that I was low on fuel. It was actually nice because it meant that I really had a six gallon reserve tank. I would just do...

Do a search as I remember reading about a bunch of people that did the gas tank swap

Years back my boss sold me his old Honda Pilot. He only used it when he was in town, so it often sat for 6mo to a year without being driven. Those rotors would make all kinds of noise for years until I finally had them turned. Modern cars don't like to sit very long.

That's exactly what it was, the connection just before the muffler.

Your truck is new, so this doesn't address the issue, but I remember a mechanic once told me to engage my 4x4 occasionally throughout the year. Of course, this was back in the day when you had to walk around and manually engage the hubs! However, his point was valid. Use it or lose it. That's...

If it is hot outside, I have the A/C on, and I stop at a red light the auto-stop will only engage if the cab is at the set temperature. Otherwise the truck will continue to run. If auto-stop has engaged but the cab temperature climbs above the threashold, I have seen my engine restart so that...

My map of the north woods stays under a pile of stuff under the rear seat. I haven't looked at it in 15yrs. In my map holding bin, I keep a one of those pocket-sized spiral notebooks. It's perfect for making a quick note when needed - a grocery list, writing down a license plate #, taking notes...
