There is a thread about it, not sure how common, but common enough to have a full thread talking about it. I remember something about earlier trucks having the issue until they updated the cooler. Best way to see early systems is to check the radiator expansion tank dip stick for any brown...

I heard somewhere that Stellantis believes 10% will have lifter failure due to the variations of the metallurgy of the pins, but who knows. I would just change the oil at least 5K and try to avoid long periods of idling.

For me, adding the RAM to the Dodge lineup helps solidify the Dodge and Ram 1500 branding under a more recognizable and familiar name "Dodge Ram". It's essentially marketing as they are sold under the same store, but I think strengthens both of them in name recognition. Especially with Dodge...

Not that long ago, like last year, they had RAM trucks on the Dodge official website. Probably because having just a Charger/Challenger and Voyager on the vehicle section looked too little. Just check now, they aren't there anymore, they have the Charger 2-Door, Charger 4-Door, Durango and...

I've owned vehicles without dipsticks, mainly BMWs, never had an issue or missed not having one. If I had a choice I rather have one, but no dipstick with the on board level sensor is fine too. Im a DIY guy and have zero issues with no dipstick systems for over 20 years of ownership.

Most vehicles lean on the driver's side, which is typically the heaviest side. Usually not by an full inch, usually 1/2 or less.

I live in 70s year round and it takes a long time to warm up, probably low 100s for the first 10 miles. It tops out at about 192F when towing a 7,000 boat/trailer, but hangs around 183F-185F most of the time after about 25 miles or so. I believe 183F is considered ideal operational temp but...

F150 Lightning is also going EREV, the 100% EV has been cancelled. Interesting to see which one does it better.

This makes sense, the performance of an EV but with the range and practicality of a gasoline truck. Funning having the 3.6L as the generator, not connected to any driveline.

I'm not a fan of that symbol of protest badge, looks very tacked on to me. I put this on my tailgate instead... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0195F48G2/?coliid=IMY60XLZTO91V&colid=2444W32QAPEIB&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Pretty such this happens in so many ways in our lives, with our cell phones, blue tooth devices, cars, etc. But I salute this person for taking this stand, maybe more will follow, hopefully if it hurts enough financially for companies it may cause them to adjust or some laws to get created to...

If you're still under the powertrain warranty, make sure to do at least an annual oil change regardless of miles or what the computer tells you, or it could void the warranty.

Doesn't mean it was only changed at 10,000. That's because the dealer record showed that. A lot of people take their vehicles in for the 10K service, but do a in between oil change at 5K themselves or at a independent shop that may not be recorded by Carfax. My truck gets an oil change every...

True, majority need to be hard wired to use parking mode.

What do you mean they don't show anything? They literally show a digital rear view mirror that states "Wolfbox" on one of the pictures?
