    Oil!!!!

    It doesnt make sense. Your oil getting to 100 degrees four minutes after you start your car on a cold day so it doesnt matter. Also, you go check your actual oil temp on a 100+ degree day when you havent driven anywhere all day and I guarantee it isnt even close to 100 degrees. Your entire...

    Oil!!!!

    Does it though...? Internal engine temps are basically the same if its 80 degrees out or 105 so I cant see that outside temp making much difference for a modern car.

    2020 Ram 1500 Rebel - factory front hooks - recovery

    You're correct...I see people off-road who don't know what they are doing all the time. The number of times I see people use a tow strap instead of a recovery/kinetic strap is astounding.

    Off road with 6'4" bed?

    Anyone going offroad with the crew cab and the longer bed? How was it??

    This is great! How do you like it with 37s?

    So I just got back from a road trip

    But everyone I know with an ED is averaging about 28mpg in their first year, which very well may increase as they break in...and many folks with the hemi are getting lower fuel economy...look at how many fuelly stickers in folks' signatures are 14.3, 15.8 etc

    You likely went with a significantly wider and softer tire. Plus the lift messes with your aero. If it were taller but same width and just slightly heavier you would've likely seen a small mpg gain

    2020 Ram 1500 Rebel - factory front hooks - recovery

    I doubt this. Most folks would tie a tow strap to a recovery hook and yank.

    So I just got back from a road trip

    Well, imagine how much spend on fuel in a year with the hemi and cut it in half...that is the direct savings. So I spend 3k in fuel with a hemi that means in two year I spend 6k so by end of second year I have paid for the motor in fuel savings. True, maintenance is more, but honestly it is...

    Around town, yes, but not necessarily true for freeway.

    Finish this sentence: "If I had it all to do over again with my Ram 1500, I would _______________."

    I would've gone eco diesel and short bed rather than hemi and 6'4" bed

    So I just got back from a road trip

    Around town that's true but unsprung weight isnt nearly as big an issue when you are at constant velocity (it's hard on acceleration) so adding 35s will drop my gear ratio from 3.92 to probably around 3.6 or 3.7 which should result in an extra mpg or so. If I could constantly hit 20 mpg on...

    So I just got back from a road trip

    I definitely wish I would've done the 2020 eco diesel instead of the hemi...I get 18mpg tops in my 20 Laramie ORP. Hoping that when I move to 35s it will increase highway mpg as I'll run at lower rpms at highway speeds

    2020 Ram 1500 Rebel - factory front hooks - recovery

    I'd guess 6,000 to 7000 lbs...so hopefully rated for 1.5x gvwr lol

    Stop and go shudder/vibration

    I've got a 2020 1500 laramie with less than 500 miles and I've started to notice it shuddering when I take off from a stop occasionally. Like it's starting in 4th or 5th gear instead of first

    Warranty issues

    My dealer said it won't void the entire warranty but it voids the warranty for items that are damaged due to the lift. for example, if your ball joint starts to fail at 5k miles and you have an aftermarket lift, the balljoint wont be covered if that was the reason the ball joint failed.
