    Another MPG thread

    You seem to be speaking for all 5th gens, but mine, and many others regularly see over 20mpg. I have a 61mile drive to work, 95% freeway, upon which I set my cruise to 72-74mph. In the summer I average 20.9, hand calculated over many, many tanks full. In the winter I drop to about 19.5. I...

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    Unlikely, but possible. I'm pretty consistent with fuel purchase and location. Was never a problem before, but it's worth noting to pay closer attention, especially after the plug change.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    I'm using NGK 92145. Best price I found from a known and trusted source was RockAuto.com

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    I am now very happy that I don't have eTorque!

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    Just a small bit of hesitation, mostly when cold. Sometimes I get a bit of a stumble when accelerating from a stop. Nothing significant, just different and not in a good way. I'm guessing the same thing, as I drive a lot of highway miles too. This may or may not cure the stumbling...

    Nice. You carry a fly rod or any other fishing poles with you??

    What did I break?

    Electric parking brake actuator motor mount? Looks a bit big for that but I'm not sure I'm seeing the correct perspective from the pictures.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    check that...the socket is a spark plug socket specifically, made for BMW's but is quite handy otherwise.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    thanks everyone...confidence level is high. I think I have a thin wall socket to use as well.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    Got plenty of wobblers and swivels...is that really the extent of the "challenges"? If so, I'll have a go this weekend.

    Has anyone DIY'd spark plug replacement?

    I'm at 114Kmiles and getting a slight bit of stumbling at idle. I know I'm a bit late on spark plug replacement so thinking that might help. Searched the subject, came up empty, so I'm curious if anyone has done this yet and how difficult it might be. I know the actual replacement job is...

    Hear a loud bang

    Never heard of such a thing happening. Is there any detectable point of impact? Maybe a rock from an oncoming vehicle once you passed by?

    Considering a Ram 1500, but concerned about reliability... New to 5GenRam

    I have a 2019 Laramie with Level 2 and Advanced Safety Group, and other options, so pretty heavily loaded for a Laramie. I have 110K miles on it and the only issue so far were the leak at third brake light is and one of the exhaust headers cracked. Runs great, still on original brakes, burns...

    Aftermarket power running boards?

    Whether MOPAR or AMP PRB's, they both drop a fair amount lower than any fixed running boards, and stow higher up too.

    NEED QUICK ADVICE Please - Transmission fluid level checking.

    FWIW, I sent both the service doc and the "green" picture, which are the instructions for a new ZF tranny that you might order from your dealer. I asked ZF if they would clarify the difference between the two docs. My current working theory is that new transmission installations may require...

    NEED QUICK ADVICE Please - Transmission fluid level checking.

    So on Wednesday I reached out to ZF directly. I am attaching a doc to show the exact exchange I had with them. Do with this what you will. For me this issue is put to bed. I followed their instructions and for two days and 180miles my tranny is running at 185 in town on a 94 degree day, and...

    NEED QUICK ADVICE Please - Transmission fluid level checking.

    So this right here is exactly the problem. some say level the transmission, some say level the vehicle. Even ZF documents say two different things. This is so frustrating.
