    AMW4x4 Offers 392 HEMI® Gladiator AMW392 Adventure Series

    And that's for a Sport. So no lockers or lower transfer case. Jeez!

    Small thud when coming to a stop (Ecodiesel, 33 gallon tank)

    In a previous car, that was the main symptom when I needed new motor mounts.

    Depreciation

    Mine was a left over '23 Big Horn that I bought new about a year ago. I paid $49K. KBB private party high value is $42.8K with currently 8800 miles. Bottom line, it is what it is. Since I have a short commute, I'm hoping to have it for 10 years at least. So no real complaints from me. At the...

    End of 2025 model year?

    I would ask your dealer. There have been rumors of them bringing back the Hemi for Big Horn and lower this summer. So not sure if that will be for '25 still, or if that will be when '26 orders start. Though keep in mind to never trust a salesman though. Common answer to 'when is the cut off to...

    ORP Rear Springs vs Non-ORP Rear Springs?

    I haven't compared. Though generally speaking, springs have very little to do with ride quality. Shocks are what controls ride quality. Springs are just for height. *Unless you're comparing worn out, sagging springs. Or heavy duty springs for towing. As long as your shocks can tolerate 1" less...

    Auto Start Stop Shuts Everything Down

    Mine is a '23, but I'm not a fan of auto stop/start. I turn it off every time I start the truck. If it's causing you problems, turn it off. If you want to use it, maybe take it in for service and/or give it a month or two. I know many of the '25 have been having weird problems.

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I rip to FLAC and put it on a USB flash drive. I leave the flash drive connected all the time so that I don't have to stream from my phone. I did notice music doesn't sound as good over Bluetooth. Currently not paying for any music streaming services. I figure that since I don't add new music...

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I had a conversation with my stereo shop because I put in a complete system and didn't have satisfactory bass. My sales rep advised that it was because many of my music tracks were low quality (MP3). He connected his phone in my truck, subscribes to Deezer (high quality streaming) and played a...

    Door lock issues

    I don't know what to say other than time will tell. You can't fix something when it isn't broken. You have to wait and see. The dealer is the same. They will not spend much time testing for something that is currently working. I'm an IT tech and will often have to close a ticket with the...

    Change out my tow mirrors for regular mirrors on my 2025 Rm 1500 Tungsten

    Regarding the blind spot: Not sure if they're the same as on the '23 (mine)... You have to manually adjust the blind spot mirror, it's not electric. Once you adjust them, it will eliminate the blind spot. That said, I've gotten used to mine, but also tempted to replace them with the standard...

    Squirrely steering after alignment ?

    This meme comes to mind. The guys at the alignment shop are only working on OEM suspension.

    Squirrely steering after alignment ?

    I highly doubt that would make a difference. I would try taking it to the shop that did the lift. I had something similar with one of my Jeeps: I paid for lifetime alignment at a tire shop. Every time I took it in for alignment, it would not track straight on the road. I took it to the offroad...

    Friday morning coffee thoughts.....Would you buy a 4x4 even if you plan to never use it????

    Even if you're not going to offroad it, 4WD Auto is nice to have when driving in a rain storm. I thought about getting 2WD. They didn't have any with the options I wanted.

    Squirrely steering after alignment ?

    I would ask in the suspension forum. I'm only familiar with Jeeps, so this may not apply to you (or Ram's): 6" is a fairly tall lift. At least for Jeeps, once you get close to 3"+, most would change out the drag link and track bar. Sometimes a different pitman arm, etc. If you are hitting bumps...

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    Got mine installed a couple weeks ago when I got the spray in bedliner done. These are Rough Country steps. The step position is adjustable. You can loosen the bolt and slide them where you want them. Bought these mostly for my short 11yo.
