Well, if this sound on the recording is like real life, then I can tell you it's not the Hemi tick I heard on mine. This sounds much louder. It could be cracked manifold or broken manifold bolts. Usually that will sound louder when engine is cold, and will then fade.

I really enjoyed your Alaska ride report. Planning to go that way in 2026/7. I plan to take my Ram, but wont be able to customize it as much as yours. Could you do a 'lessons learned' on your Alaska trip? On basic gear, places visited etc.?

I had 18" Rebel wheels on my Limited for a while, and it worked fine. Just tell the tire guys that they need to be aware of the limited clearance for wheel weights.

Mopar plan is better because it always uses OEM parts. 3rd party likes to use reconditioned/remanufactured parts.

I agree. Compared to starter-driven start-stop systems, it's a much better solution. Also haven't had a problem with it in over 200,000 miles.

I'm looking to buy a new Ram within the next 8 months or so. My concern isn't really with choosing between Hermi and I6, but with the seemingly endless list of (software) problems I read about. I'd love to get an RHO, but wow are there a lot of problems with it. Ugh.

There's a $20,000 - $30,000 price difference. Too much for me. Basic RHO can be had for less than $70,000

at around 167,000 miles

Probably. If I didn't have an extended warranty, I would probably change transmission oil very 60,000 miles or so. That said, we have a 2014 with 235,000 miles which is still going strong on the original transmission oil... (knock on wood)

It's always called 'cheap insurance' or something like that. I consider it expoensive insanity to change oil every 3000 miles. We have owned 4 Hemis so far, all of which have gone at least 100,000 miles while we owned them, all on this same maintenance schedule. We still own two of them ...

Right, that's why I listed the brakes in the exclusion list. They replaced rotors.

My 2020 Limited recently crossed the 200,000 mile mark, so I thought I'd report on how it's held up over those miles. Generally speaking, I love this truck. Even though there have been quite a few repairs, it has never left us stranded on the road, and only once at our house (dead battery)...

I currently have a 2020 Limited, and it's been a pretty good truck. I intend to trade it next year for an RHO. I also considered getting the new Charger EV (since they are practically giving them away) for local trips to save miles on the RHO. After reading up on both models/engines, the...

Hemi?

My dealer turns it on sometimes for 3 months after oil changes.
