This is gonna be a stupid question, but is it a transmission issue you guys are experiencing or a drivetrain issue. Also, this is a shot in the dark as I don't tow or use trailer brake controller, but I remember a similar thread a couple years ago where some one discovered that the trailer...

If he has 640hp, that means he did a tune to up the boost and get even more hp out of it. Limited gets 540hp stock. And I am more than pleased with my 420hp in my Laramie. As far as the standard output hurricane, I wouldn't consider 420hp to be anywhere near pushing the limits of a 3.0 liter...

I prefer NA cars and trucks myself. But I also have and had a lot of cars with turbos. I never replaced a turbo on any car. Even my first car was an 1987 RX7 Turbo and I drove that to 165k miles before selling it to someone. I'm all for a V8 pickup, but I'm just tired of the tired old hemi...

1: I never had to change a water pump on any car or truck I owned, and I keep most of them for 100k+ miles 2: Exhaust routing for transmission fluid change? Ram doesn't recommend trans fluid change, so my last Ram with the 8 speed transmission was traded in with 207k miles on it and I never...

This is a little ridiculous. Lots of high mileage turbo motors on the road. If you don't want the inline twin turbo, no problem, get the V8. But no need to bash the other motor options based on your so called GUARANTEE that is based on no actual factual information.

If we have to wait years to discover what the flaws are, then nobody can truly say right now, with any certainty, that there will be problems or if any will truly ever pop up down the road. Secondly, resale value isn't that great on a Ram regardless of what motor you have. Thirdly, the fuel...

I had 2 hemi's, both without the e-torque. I now have a 2025 Laramie with the standard output Hurricane inline 6 tt and I feel like I couldn't go back to the same old hemi. The only thing I miss about the hemi is the V8 rumble on cold starts. If they came out with a new, more powerful hemi...

I say don't over think it. Use what you feel comfortable with. I use 5w-30 in all my cars that ask for 5w-20. But honestly, as long as you change the oil at the correct intervals you will be fine. And there is nothing wrong with following the recommended 5w-20 if that's what keeps things in...

You still come across as very childish. Sorry you can't take being questioned or criticized without getting upset. We are on a truck forum. We don't know each other. Nobody should be expected to take everything posted here as 100% truthful since human nature is that we can all be bias...

There is always 2 sides to every story, and then there is the truth. When I say you are acting childish, it refers to the way you are handling the situation and threatening to take them to small claims court. If the car is still not repaired, talk to the service manager and see what they can...

It's not you going for a second opinion that is comical or childish, but just your response and attitude toward the whole matter. In addition to that, I don't believe you are being completely honest with what you are telling us when you say the dealership took the liberty to do whatever repairs...

This sounds comical and childish. One shop offered you a repair for $3.5k, you declined because you wanted a cheaper repair. The cheaper repair didn't work out for you and now you want someone else to pay for the parts and services they supplied. You keep saying the dealership made a...

They use to say that the trucks that had lifter/cam issues were due to long periods of idle time. I don't know if that's definitely true, but you can check the idle time of your truck to see if it's excessive for the mileage you have.

It's not really about the mpg's, it depends more on whether you value more HP and torque or something that just sounds like it's faster or more powerful.

I have put over 300k miles combined on my 2 hemi trucks. Currently own a 2025 with the SO motor. I thought I was going to miss the hemi, but I have been very pleased with the SO. The only con of the SO is the sound at start up. After spending years with a hemi, cold starts on the SO sounds...
