    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I was in the middle of doing my own engineering write up for this post. Then I realized the OP did that much better than mine in the first post. And it's excellent. While we have the 3.92 rear axle ratio, I actually value the "extra" overdrive gear for fuel economy. I don't need the extra...

    Which Powertrain Do You Prefer?

    I want a 6.4 (392) in a Ram 1500 with true dual active exhaust. Basically, I want a Charger Scat Pack drivetrain in a Ram 1/2 ton.

    Vanity Plates

    My sweetie likes her Fox license play. It's from Arkansas Game & Fish. But not really a custom plate. Arkansas has about 50 different plates to choose from. For me, I'm more of a "bear" kind of guy. And while not a Ram, I do have one custom plate:

    YouTuber Fined $53,000 For Ram 1500 TRX Jump Over Creek!

    I cannot see how any "Fish and Boat Commission" can change somebody that much for crossing a body of water. I've been to resolution meetings on stuff like this. Often the attorney for the one being fined will simply tell the commission that he does not accept their offer. And often, the fine...

    Chip shortage hits Ram 1500 truck production in Sterling Heights again

    So this all leads us to the question: If you were offered 33% more for your new Ram than you paid for it, would you sell it, knowing that you might have to wait over a year to buy another one as well-equipped as the one you have now? We might soon find ourselves living in that world. Just...

    Anyone else happy with MPG?

    With my sweetie driving, it's more like 50 in town and 85 during the commute. She likes to keep the pedal to the metal. I taught her to drive when she was 14 years old and I was 15. So I guess we know why. 😋

    Anyone else happy with MPG?

    We've only been getting around 17 mpg with our new 2021 Laramie with 5.7, 4x4, 3.92 gears and lots of bells and whistles. But this has been mostly commute and city driving. We were hoping for something around 22 mpg like our former Charger Scat Pack. But the good news is that the running...

    Dealers still receiving 2021’s?

    The closest Ram dealership to me just got a bunch more trucks. To be exact, last time I was there, the dealer only had a few Jeeps, Challengers, a Chrysler 300 and about a dozen Rams. Now they have several dozen new Rams and several hundred late model used vehicles. I don't know if this these...

    The "Handy" Leveling Kit Install - 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quadcab 2WD

    I've been making some repairs and upgrades to my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quadcab that I bought new from Fletcher Dodge in Little Rock in November 2002. Back in June of this year (2021), I hydroplaned during a heavy rainstorm and wrecked it on the left side. Even though I only carry liability...

    What was your interest rate when you financed your new ram?

    I got the 1.9% from Chrysler Capital. Based on 26 payments a year and 55 months to payoff, the interest would cost us $2,063.84. But we will most likely trade vehicles again in two to three years.

    Risk of running rich

    The Ram Air kit is not supposed to void your warranty. Cat-back custom exhaust might void some of the warranty on the engine, I'm not sure. But hacking the PCM has been reported to void much of the warranty. Depending on how much time and mileage is left on your warranty, you might consider...

    S.O.S. !!! Locked out of 2021 RAM & Engine Running (key inside) Uconnect unlock signal NOT unlocking door!!!!!!

    4th Gen Choctaw 5th Gen German 6th Gen Slave All Americans in the end. And the late model Dodge Chargers will not normally let you lock the fob in the car unattended. But it acts completely differently when started remotely. I never figured that one out.

    Riser Shields and New Handle Cover have FINALLY shipped! Shipping is often only one day, hub to hub, from the DFW area to central Arkansas. Should be here soon. 😊

    Really Ram Plastic....

    The problem with the factory UCA's is not the construction material. The control arms are stamped steel overmolded with structural plastic. The real issue is the limited angle range of the ball joints in them. For my money, I'd go with a name brand aftermarket UCA if I was going to...
