was this covered under extended warranty or the factory 3 years coverage?

I have just placed my next appointment, will be DMing you with the details! thank you!

2019 limited over here, same issue beginning to happen on the edges of the dash near the window, as well as as slight bubble above the gauge cluster. Will bring up to my dealer during my next visit. unfortunate leather quality. makes sense on a 15 year old ferrari, but a new truck...

as per oil reaching the top of the motor, our gen hemi engine has the beefier oil pump by 25%. perhaps thats enough but who knows

I too am under warranty, should I have any engine failures, my euro mechanic creates oil change invoices for me lol. however given my regimen I dont see that happening. if anything, we learn that 5w20 is perfectly fine, anything heavier is 100% personal preference/ availability.

https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/oil-preference.4350/post-681287 I agree we shouldnt make claims based on conjecture. Reference my post above, the 5.7 hemi crankshaft main bearing clearances barely suit 5w20. it is the lowest weight oil that is still acceptable. Couple the fact that the...

I firmly believe that oil weight should compliment bearing clearances. I sourced the specs for the latest gen hemi engine, main bearing tolerances are 0.023 - 0.051 mm . This link provides a comprehensive guide to appropriate viscosity per in relations to tolerances. please reference iron block...

i found this article if you guys wanna geek out at hemi internals/ evolution https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2019/08/unlocking-the-mysteries-of-the-5-7l-gen-iii-hemi/

100% agree redline 5w50 is s65 heaven

BMW spec'd 5w-30 and 10w-60 for the same VANOS systems. ram does the same with 5w-20 and 0w-40. VVT has worked better with slightly higher weight oil in every vehicle I have ever owned.

I thought this was household knowledge to ram owners.... hes a nice guy used to be a tech before becoming service manager so idk man. other forum posts have confirmed as well

No, I dont believe I am saying that at all. For example, My wifes porsche Macan 2.0 uses the VW ea888 engine. It started life with a 5w40 (porsche a40) oil weight recommendation and is now recommended to use 0w20 (porsche c20). it is literally the exact same motor, internals everything the same...

I asked the service manager when I picked up the truck new

To everyone who trust that FCA has our engines longevity in mind, please be reminded we are in 2022 and factory fill is still conventional pennzoil. olive oil is better than dino pennzoil.

I am simply using my past experience and knowledge with amg/porsche and applying it to our simple, humble ram. its not that crazy
