    TPMS reads right, but still shows warning

    Yup, as Steve mentioned, the way our TPMS system works, you need to get the air pressure at or sometimes above the recommended level for the warning to go away. Once it does, it will allow the normal lower variance you had before. I'm not familiar with your truck's spec, is 3.1 bar the...

    2019 Limited will only show three tire pressures at a time, randomly drops a tire.

    Gotcha, these are OEM sensors? Either case, I would contact the shop that installed and supplied the sensors.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    Totally agree, I mean they did a very last minute integration with the Hemi, and Stellantis right now wouldn't surprise me with that, I guess we'll see. However, the other part of the concern equation which is twin turbos on a relatively new engine design still stands.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    That's assuming you don't have to deal with the engine lights these Hurricanes seem to be having right now. Then there is the question of their long-term durability, the 5.7L Hemi isn't perfect but its issues are well known as is it's general durability.

    2019 Limited will only show three tire pressures at a time, randomly drops a tire.

    Likely the batteries in the sensors, with a 2019 that seems reasonable. Contact Discount Tire / American Tire, they can diagnose for free and get you a new set usually substantially cheaper than what the dealer will charge you, including installation.

    Duratracs getting loud?

    Fresh Duratracs have a mild hum at highway speeds since they are a hybrid AT/MT type tire. They will get louder especially if they weren't rotated often enough during their life. Almost any other tire in the A/T range will be much quieter. The only issue is the air pressure setting. The...

    A little fun w/ ChatGPT image generator - "Akira homage with RAM Truck"

    Lol, I'm trying to control myself, but it's impressive in a lot of ways.

    A little fun w/ ChatGPT image generator - "Akira homage with RAM Truck"

    As a big Akira fan growing up, I wanted to see if I could generate an A.I. homage picture of Akira but instead of his motorcyle, use a RAM truck in it's place. Pretty much worded it that way in the search box, and this is what it came up with. Sure the angles and ratios are off, but not too...

    Best Cabin Air Filter?

    K&N, though I didn't notice any improvement in air flow, but even if the same flow, the fact it's cheaper than the factory and can be reused over and over again, well reviewed, it's pretty much a no brainer.

    Gas mileage

    34" tires seems to be your answer, I've never owned a truck with 33 or larger than didn't get 13 mpg or less. However, you stated you had a 2016 with similar size tires? If so, I guess for you maybe it's in the axle ratios, or weight difference as the DT is heavier than the DS.

    Capless Fuel System Locking Gas Cap?

    These days I'm not worried about anyone trying to steal from the nozzle, I'm just worried about some crazy bum using a drill and trying to get it directly from the tank.

    Ram Isn’t Saying NO To A 5.7-liter HEMI® RHO

    A regular 5.7L Hemi with 395 hp is probably way too weak to do the TRX/RHO platform justice. I love the Hemi and wouldn't buy a 1500 RAM without one, but its power is just middle of the road in a regular 1500, much less a bigger, heavier "baja" truck. The 6.4L on the other hand...
