    What octane are we using?

    E85 makes great hp for a cheap price. The problem is the time of year and location you purchase from. Here in the Midwest in March, E85 at the pump is in the low E70 range because it is harder to ignite in cold weather. That blend won’t be back to E85 until the early summer months. Many I know...

    What engine oil are you using?

    All the gas that comes out of a fueling terminal meets the exact same fuel standard. The gas going into the delivery tanker no matter what the brand, is coming from the same terminal. Top Tier is the additional additive package (detergents) that is included in the fuel at time of delivery.

    Who here is NOT happy with their e-Torque system?

    I don’t understand why they made eTorque standard in all 2023 USA Hemi Rams. Imho all this does is inflate the price of the truck. When I needed a new truck in August 2021 the only thing on the lots were eTorque in Laramie. I ordered out specifically to get one without as I tow 60% of the time...

    Bass Issue 22 Ram Laramie

    I have a 2022 Laramie with HK and don’t use the amount of bass it’s capable of producing. My personal preference in the music I listen to. I did like the HK system better than the standard offering when I listened to both through usb prior to ordering. BUT, I’m 71 and can hear the base in a the...

    If you have a Factory Mopar Vehicle Protection contract, I believe the replacement Fob chould be covered minus the plan deductible.

    What engine oil are you using?

    Stop and Go traffic is easy on oil and oil temp, even in hot weather. No extended load on the engine like when towing. The highest oil temp I’ve seen towing 7k# up extended 5.5% grade in 90* weather with 0w20 is 250’s*. Returning to level or downhill grade towing and temps drop to 230*. I...

    General maintenance along with oil change

    You couldn’t give me a K+N (or washable)for my truck. It’s a TERIBLE stock replacement. Look at the filtering results at 13:50 into the video. I have used Wix for many years and switched to Purolator when Wix moved production to China several years ago.

    2019 5.7 Hemi engine knocking when cold

    If the oil filter has been on over 3,000 miles from last oil change, replace it with new and then cut the old filter open. Remove the filter pleat assembly and then remove the filter paper with a hack saw. Pull the paper open exposing the inner pleat area. Should be free of metal shavings...

    87 or 89 or mix

    If I was city and limited 75+ mph driving I’d try using 87. I’m always on the highway when not towing a 7k# trailer over 60% of the time. I use 93 for towing and it is very noticeable compared to 89 when climbing grades of 3+%. For me, 93 displays better fuel mileage when towing and I’m filling...

    Truck is struggling after new battery replacement…

    Could possibly just been other way around, and just a battery going bad needing replacing and a reset procedure like that turkeybird56 posted earlier if needed. It seems that these factory batteries are 3yr at best. A friend with a 2019 Ram 1500 had his battery fail almost 3 yrs to the date of...

    Truck is struggling after new battery replacement…

    I looked at my Mopar Max Care contract and it states on P6 THE PLAN WILL NOT COVER, OR APPLY TO LOSS OR EXPENSE RESULTING FROM: Battery and cables; Does the dealer repair say a battery cable was replaced? If not I’d dispute it with Mopar/ FCA.

    What does "Full–Speed Forward–Collision Warning Plus" Do?

    Great thread. I was unaware that this FCW included Medium and Braking as the default setting when I checked it. I’ve had the alarm warning go off several times driving forward but it never activated the brakes in forward. It’s braked in reverse several times when something was actually to close...

    2022 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi

    Your 6.4 uses 0w40. If it doesn’t make this noise starting daily and only when sitting extended periods, I wouldn’t worry about it and drive it. Change the oil and factory filter initially at 5k miles and then whenever oil service is indicated. Your engine has a 5/60 warranty and they’ll fix it...
