    RECALL: 2021 Ram 1500 with HEMI® eTorque For Stalling

    At dealer now having my 21’ limited updated. Only a few stall outs, mainly at stop signs in my past experience. I did have an injector fail a few months back as well. I am wondering what the long term reliability will be now that I have 30k + miles of running too rich. Spark plugs and pistons...

    Hwy 99 or bust! Harris Ranch is the sole reason I never take the 5!

    Poor gas mileage

    Testing testing 1, 2, 3…. Just back from a long road trip, so-cal to nor-cal. Reset the trip computer at the bottom of the grapevine using the gps to confirm consistent elevation. Only minor fluctuations in altitude for the duration of the trip confirming a flat surface. I did 2 100 mile legs at...

    Poor gas mileage

    Hope you’re right as I have a ‘21 ET and I just had a service. Dealer didn’t mention any recalls. I just came here to complain about mileage. Lol

    Poor gas mileage

    Just so you get the picture. But if the guy running 37’s can get 16mpg hwy, I should get better.

    Poor gas mileage

    To be fully transparent I do have 34” tires. The front is leveled with airlinks. And I have a bed rack and tent that sit below the cab. Been trying to make the brick as aerodynamic as possible.

    I’m headed north up hwy 5 next weekend. I’ll set 65 on the cruise con and reset the comp once I get down to the flat stuff. I’ll post pics here.

    Poor gas mileage

    I live in west LA. Same city conditions over here. I get my service done at the DT LA ram dealer. Best service I’ve found locally.

    Poor gas mileage

    I mean idk what I expected. Don’t think the etorque does jack! Only wanted it for the off the line power addition. I’m assuming after 20k miles, if something were wrong, it would of manifested itself by now. When at idle my truck does generate a considerable amount of moisture from the exhaust...

    Poor gas mileage

    Seems to be such a huge range in mpg’s here. Some rebel owners with 35’s 5.7’s and 3.92’s claiming high teens doesn't make sense when other stock 5.7 etorque owners with the same gears and smaller tires are reporting 12. I can say my truck which is a 21’ etorque limited with 3.92’s + all the...

    ETorque battery safety

    Got it! AGM will be my next upgrade. Thanks for the help.

    ETorque battery safety

    I see! Thanks for the clarity. Do you know if, given a dead starter battery, can the 5.7 eTorque be jump started via conventional methods? For some reason when I had a dead battery my Jumper pack didn't make a difference. However looking back, now I’m second guessing if it was charged sufficiently.

    ETorque battery safety

    I recently had a dead starter battery. The truck just made some very loud popping noises and a bunch of codes were thrown on the dash when I pushed the start. I’ve read on here this is common for 5th gen rams with dead batteries. Per your comment shouldn’t the 48v pack started the truck? The...
