    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Banks infomercial on the Pedal Commander pretty much sold me, I never saw a response back from Pedal Commander.

    Changing oil

    The bag works great, just use two bags, I would use a half half gallon or 1 gallon zip locks. Break the seal with a half turn, then slide on the 1st bag all the way until you get to the bottom of the bag, than start turning until the oil starts coming out. Then wait about 15 seconds until...

    Oil Filter

    Mopar MO-339 (Part #4892339AA/AB) is the correct filter, at least on the OEM side. $10 at Walmart, I still buy them singularly since my truck is under warranty to show my purchase history before I do an oil change. Once out of warranty, I'll buy them in bulk.

    Where are the 2026 Rebel Hemis?

    I'm in the Philippines right now, the Rebel edition is the only version of the RAM 1500 sold here. My local dealer stated the Hemi will become available for order on 2027 model units, but that could just be a local thing since the Philippines is usually 6 months behind the US when it comes to...

    Brown Sludge on Coolant Dipstick?

    That's cool, maybe use a little bit of painters tape to make sure they stay on, I would only use them for that day I plan at being at the dealership, take them off after.

    Brown Sludge on Coolant Dipstick?

    That's a good idea, I typically don't have my truck serviced by the dealer, I do the basic stuff myself, but on the rare occasion I do bring it in and they throw in a service I think I'll just get some painters tape and write "NO" on it, and place it over the cap. I think I did that one time in...

    Brown Sludge on Coolant Dipstick?

    That's always my fear of someone (or me) accidentally putting the wrong fluid in that expansion tank. The opening and cap looks like the washer fluid one, just on the other side, seems pretty easy to confuse and get them mixed up, especially a tech after a long busy day or me with my typically...

    Ram 1500 governed ?

    I guess it depends on the situation and your location, road conditions, etc. I'm typically driving on Socal busy freeways, when not in gridlock traffic the speeds are pretty high, the average speed on the fast lane is 80-85 mph (65mph posted limit), I've personally cruised at 90 mph before, but...

    Wheel weights

    Go to Discount/American Tire, pay for their lifetime balance/rotate & road hazard warranty, I think I paid around $200 or so and easily more than pays for itself on rebalancing and/or tire replacement. You don't have to have bought your tires from them to get this package, nor do they have to...

    180 degree thermostat

    Same, about 20-30 miles it takes over for me.

    Auto fold mirrors when doors are locked

    It's incredible what manufacturers will do to save a buck. I'm currently in a different country driving a Toyota Fortuner (think Hilux 4Runner), it's a more basic trim and doesn't come with auto folding mirrors. But guess what, Toyota sells a plug and play module that adds auto-fold mirrors...

    Next-Generation Ram Pickup Will Take A Futuristic Turn

    Definitely looks like a Jeep, interior is amazing, but the exterior is just a bit awkward looking for me. I think with a few minor tweeks, they can get it where it needs to be aesthetically on the outside.

    Next-Generation Ram Pickup Will Take A Futuristic Turn

    Probably both. Though I'm specifically calling it a miss on the design/styling side of things. Even if it was supported better and had less issues at launch, its just not a competitive or compelling design.

    RAM Hurricane vs Ford Coyote and Dodge Viper

    Our boat tow pigs have always been 2wd, never had an issue. Mainly because most ramps in California have textured, ridged & grooved surfacing and far less algae build up. Our 2WD trucks will pull up a 8,000 lbs boat & trailer without a single tire slip. Then I went to Florida and saw some of...

    Next-Generation Ram Pickup Will Take A Futuristic Turn

    This is an old concept truck that was put out a few years ago when talking about the BEV concept, probably has little to do with the next gen 1500. Just a design exercise. Gilles has a great history, but some recent misses like the Wagoneer.
