    Are our trucks screwed with 3g going away?

    But it is an interesting question for 4 Gen owners who are 3G

    MFT issue...

    Even if you only open the drivers side, open the smaller one and close it as the act of opening the drivers side door causes the sensor in the smaller door to show open. Sometimes just pushing on the top pf the smaller door when it's closed and then closing the larger one works as well. I...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    I had a Gen 2 for almost 6 years and now going on the second with the Gen 3. I never plug in the motor, own but don't install the winter cover on my Gen 3, and I only occasionally run additive (mostly for lubricity). It is not unusual to be below single digits F for a week or two at a time...

    2,500 pound payload plus factory air suspension

    Unfortunately there is now a stored error code about the truck being overloaded. I actually had one also which was a glitch in the system since I only had about 200lbs in the back but when I went in for some other service they made sure to bring that to my attention. Someday it may be the...

    Limited level one equipment group

    Also, Parksense works great Blindspot works great unless you tow a camper and then it often fails to reset for some timee when a vehicle passes you.

    Limited level one equipment group

    2020 Lane keep mostly lets you know when you're going over the line but the "Keep" part of it is not as good as my 2019 Kia which if it wasn't for the warning to put your hands back on the wheel one could let it drive for you. Stop and Go Cruise works great at highway speeds and even on slower...

    Turbo lag / Throttle response

    I have not experienced that on my Gen 3. On my Gen 2 after the EPA flash I experienced it more regularly.

    Turbo lag / Throttle response

    I asked because the 3.92 is peppier than the 3.21. I pull a 7k+ camper in the hilly New England region without issue.

    I'd love a bigger DEF tank...or less DEF consumption

    Lots have but you need to live where they don't require emission inspections.

    I'd love a bigger DEF tank...or less DEF consumption

    I agree, I wish it had the 7+ gallon tank from the Gen 2 engine but I don't think that Ram didn't put a smaller tank in there to save money, it's likely a real estate issue. In the winter one doesn't want to fill the tank until it overflows as Def Freezes at 12°f. Always leave space to account...

    Upgrades to my 2020 1500 Laramie Longhorn 4x4.

    Not an expert here but my understanding that adding stiffer springs, similar to adding air bags does not increase your payload capacity, it just stiffens the rear end. The payload is a function of the front and rear axel weight ratings and that isn't changing. On my '15 I installed rear air...

    REGEN Pages Added To MY2022

    Yes, that is incorrect. You will see that message only if the DPF gets to 80% and it kicks on the forced regen and then during that particular regen it will countdown until it get's to 9%. After that you will not get any regen messages unless it get's to 80% again.

    It was not in the manual, we had a separate diesel supplement. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

    Turbo lag / Throttle response

    What gear ratio?

    If you drive primarily short trips you are more likely to see the regen messages. Just finish it if it occurs and you'll be fine as there's nothing wrong other than your driving habits.

    If anyone remembers the EPA madness with the Gen 2, this statement is kind of comical.

    None of those messages are new, we had them all in our Gen 2 engines. They are all warning messages and will not be presented during normal operation. My '15 displayed the "80% full message once in 60k miles, and once that one pops you'll be told to keep driving and you'll see the % drop. The...
