    HVAC Teardown Bounty

    Recirc probably seems like a different fan level, but the difference in RPM is likely due to having a shorter intake path feeding the blower.

    How many are passing on 2019 deals for the new 2020 diesel option?

    I did the math in another thread on the subject. The EcoDiesel option is $3,000 more than the Hemi with eTorque. At $2.50/gallon, that comes out to 1200 gallons which is over 36 tanks on a 33 gallon equipped truck.

    Cabin Filter

    Mine was dirtier than that with less than 5K. It was shocking how much crap that filter ingested in that time. I let the dealer do it when I had my oil changed. Cost me $28.35 installed.

    How many are passing on 2019 deals for the new 2020 diesel option?

    You'll do well with the Hemi +eTorque and the 3.21 rear axle. I roadtrip regularly and that combination gets good mileage for me. I'm really surprised how well it does for such a large and heavy vehicle. I'm also keeping an eye on how the new diesels perform over the next couple of years...

    always uneven cable on tailgate..wtf...

    Check that thread linked above. It's not a situation of having one cable backing up another for when it fails.

    always uneven cable on tailgate..wtf...

    There are many threads on this subject that go into great detail. Here's one that's 5 pages long - https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/tailgate-cable-length.1260/

    2019 vs. 2020 RAM 1500

    Hemi + eTorque (motor/generator instead of an alternator)

    Winter driving

    I didn't find I needed it with the Crew Cab. There's enough distributed weight on the rears.

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    Yes, it's nice to have options.

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    I far prefer the audio quality of Pandora on my phone (Apple CarPlay) than SiriusXM. Then again, when you're in the boonies without a cell signal, SiriusXM is convenient.

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    My problem with the Netflix 4K is that they never had anything I wanted to watch in 4K. Watching a Netflix original standup comedy show in 4K isn't what I was looking for. The blockbuster movies were still HD. I get those in HDR Blu Ray and cancelled the more expensive Netflix streaming...

    Tire Options for 22' Limited Wheels with No Lift/Level

    Yep, bad roads here too. Lots of potholes with the freeze/thaw cycles we get. My sedan has low profile tires...and I've never done that again.

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    I tossed a CD in mine to test it out. I found the LED that stays on when a CD is in the drive distracting, so I unloaded it. If the plan was to have an LED to indicate a CD in the player, they should have chosen a different color from the transmission and drive-train indicators. It also...

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    It is storage. The cover is expensive to open, but it does open really, really quickly.

    New member of the FCA family

    Welcome! Is that a breakfast sandwich in the upper cubby? :p My Ram is my first FCA product. I'm in love with the Hemi.

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    How much does a pastor cost? :p At first I was disappointed that I could've had a cubby instead of CD player. Then I saw the pics with dimensions. Would have been cool if it was a bit deeper. Would have made it more convenient for my phone when I'm using CarPlay with a short cable. Those...

    Tire Options for 22' Limited Wheels with No Lift/Level

    I have a Limited with the 20" wheels. I replaced the stock OEM Bridgestone Dueler tires at 700 miles with Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Far superior ride and traction. They worked well in Moab off the pavement, but my primary use is on road. How much time are you off-road? They also make the...

    The wait is over! Best in class torque!

    I was a little surprised to hear that GM MPG drops from 33 (2WD) to 29 (4WD). There's also the 10-speed vs. 8-speed difference. Does Ram go for a higher MPG number with a lower rear axle ratio, and then anybody that wants the towing capability will never see those numbers? So much drama. :eek:

    Tire Options for 22' Limited Wheels with No Lift/Level

    Are you looking for recommendations for a tire "upgrade" in the OEM sizing, or are you looking for a tire "upsize" to a non OEM size? Are you looking for an all-season tire or all-terrain tire?
