    Engine shutting down while driving

    My 2015 Outdoorsman did it three times at 65 plus mph. Same thing, no codes. A friend of mine a FCA tech back in Indiana said he thought it would end up being there...before I traded it. They spent three days trying to figure it out then said it would be about two weeks till a scheduled...

    Is the "hemi tick" still a thing in the latest models?

    Late back to the party, but the guy who fixes them at my dealership said it was the dissimilar metals of the manifold vs the block... The manifold would warp" being aluminum? and put pressure on the bolts so they would snap first and if you got to that quick you could grind? the manifold flat...

    Update: DO NOT BUY RAM WITH RAMBOX - Warping and Alignment Issue with 2019 Rams

    I wanted a sprayed on liner. The Ramboxes were a part of the package on mine, now we love them... I agree with you. Mine, so far perfect...

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    The society of automotive engineers has taken a lot of fun out of these discussions. The objective nature of the standards has removed all subjectivity and left it simply to math, gullibility associated with sales of both RV's and trucks and your pocketbook. I remember the day when I had to walk...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    If you do NOT tow, live in a flat state where it never gets below 40 degrees, the 3.21's are perfect. I live in MT, had a 2013 3.55 and a 2015 3.92 and now a 2021 3.21. I tow a 6700 lb travel trailer...and did I mention I live in Montana... Oh, I see I did... I wish I had my 3.92 back. The 3.21...

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    Being from Indiana, I'd say Kentucky... Of course if you are from Missouri, you don't have a very high opinion of Hoosiers... AND I know why on that one. After the Civil War, the Indiana boys came home and were pretty much half animals at that point. The fathers bought them a wagon and supplies...

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    OK, NOW I know how to maximize gas mileage. Helium filled tires, live at 10,000 feet, only use summer gas 91 grade, never put anything in the truck, 3.21 gears, e-torque, road tires, and only go places where you can go both ways downhill with a tailwind. I'm set now, thanks for the advice on...

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    It's thinner. Me too... I figure that thinness is worth maybe 23 mpg vs that thick humid midwest air... Of course that is not completely accurate as it is the lyometer reading.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    This one https://www.chrysler.com/universal/webselfservice/pdf/Y80.pdf (WAIT! Since I got the recall, they apparently now have a fix as mine said they were working on a fix and I would be informed. This looks like the new one and they have a software fix.) You can go here and see what recalls...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Did you get your "recall" on your tow group that has no solution as of yet? Mine works and I'm afraid if I bring it up, they will shut it off or something.

    How to Get the Best Price on Your New Ram

    If you gotta trade, that makes all the difference now days. I had toyed with trading in 2020 before all the hyper market stuff and was offered under 15K for my 2015 Outdoorsman with 60K on it. Here last June at the peak, of the hyper market, They offered me 22K (cash) with 70K miles on it AND a...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I think you and another poster kind of answered my question. You are both accurate in your statements, but I was just wondering if we were seeing the upward PRESSURE on pricing "breaking." I'm thinking we are but like you note, it's still a sellers market... I've seen it in RV's. I bought my...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Are we seeing a potential "break" in the continual price increases, forced mark ups, etc.?
