I am shocked how quiet this truck is but i am used to diesels and I am half deaf from target shooting without proper ear protection.
Seriously though, i do hear increased road noise at highway speeds coming from the rear seats. My guess the noise is coming through the cab vents which I am...
All my previous trucks were limited slip. This one is e locker and not to happy. A few times I needed to get out into traffic and my truck turned into a one wheel wonder show. I have not tried the locker yet as I had no need. Sure it will perform great offroad or in sticky situations but as...
I had the same issue on both of my 2013 and 2014 3500's. Didn't think it effected the 1500's but now you have me thinking I should keep an eye on tire wear.
I test drove a 1500 and really liked how it handled, rode and have always enjoyed the sound of a v8 exhaust. I have slightly downsized my towing needs so yes - I guess I don't need the diesel for towing just a few times a year. A truck that as easier to live with day in/out was my main goal...
Just got a '19 and its my first air suspension. Love it so far but would like some other features added which would be easy as its probably all programming in the ECM. For example, I would like the option to enable drop to exit mode every time you place it in park. The ability to drop one...
I am coming from a world filled with diesel Rams so a hemi with MDS is new to me. It is definitely there and noticeable along with the unwanted NVH vibrations. I have the stock exhaust and worried what it will sound like with an after market (looking at Borla). I know there are tuning...
I just traded in a Trackhawk and the idea of a HellRam would be awesome, but I'd prefer the Helaphant motor variant. Now THAT would be a nice setup. Problem would be the fuel mileage and price. Bet it would easily break 100k and get 14mpg or less on the highway. My tank-to-tank hand...
IMO, the explanation for very similar mileage between the 3.92 and 3.21 is the ability of MDS to stay active more with 3.92 vs. 3.21. Remember - 3.92 ratio will give the 4 cylinder mode a mechanical advantage and less likely kick out when the truck requires more torque to maintain speed...
Just traded my 18 Trackhawk for a 19 Ram 1500. My trackhawk averaged 9mpg over a couple tanks driving to/from work on mostly back roads, 55mph 4 lane roads with some lights, etc. - very little highway cruising. Do a couple 'launches' and it brought my average below 7mpg per tank. On a...
I think many don't get the purpose of SAE J2807 standards. It was written and slowly adopted by manufacturers so that a consumer can compare towing specs of trucks from different brands, and for the specs to be meaningful. Back in the day each manufacturer stated their truck can tow X lbs...
All good discussion points.
You are correct when talking about a specific point in time comparing 2 similar trucks one with 3.21 and other with 3.92. To do the same or equal amount of work to overcome tire friction, wind resistance and/or climbing an incline the stress (or torque) would be...
I'd like to respectfully state a number of your comments are incorrect.
1 - 3.21 or 3.92 gears will not effect the amount of maximum stress in the transmission. You cannot have more stress / torque than what the motor generates no matter how much you tow. The mechanical advantage of...
