On my 2015, I kept getting a misfire code for cylinder #5. This started around 85k miles, not long after I started getting the Hemi tick around 65k miles. My trusted local mechanic replaced the plug and the coil/wires twice. After the second time, he dug in further and confirmed that I was...

Also, never be afraid to let them know that they not only lost a sale, but a customer as well.

Strong opinion for someone who hasn't had them on a truck. A better statement would be that stock tires are junk. I really liked my Falken WIldpeaks on both my 2015 and 2021 RAM trucks. My brother-in-law sells tires for a living and convinced me to give the Goodyear UltraTerrains a try. I put...

This is classic bait-and-switch, whether intentional or not. The purchase agreement was between you and the dealer, not you and the manufacturer. This is an issue for the dealer and manufacturer to resolve. If they don't, follow everyone else's advice and get a quote from Mark Dodge.

Did a stewardess come see what you needed after pressing the button?

...and what happened to 10cent milk?

From what I've heard, it depends. It sounds like most pumps mix the two octanes but I've talked to a few stations where they said that they had a separate tank for the mid-grade. I don't know if that's true but just what I was told.

When I tow my boat or snowmobile up north, which is quite frequent, I find that most of the gas stations don’t have 89 octane. Therefore I fill up half of the tank with 87 and half with the 91 (non-oxy) gas in order to make my own blend. Anyone else have to do this?

I used to have mechanics give me grief about driving like a grandpa. They told me that I wasn't pushing the engine through the RPM range enough. Eventually I just let my wife drive it occasionally and that problem is then solved. :D

This is the real answer to the OP's question. Dealers track what their customers buy, and should pay attention to what prospective customers ask for. I'll compare it to the group pizza order. If you invite 30 people over to your house, you'll order a bunch of 1-topping pizzas, some fancy ones...

Since wedoi revived an old thread, I'll give an update. I bought the Goodyear Ultraterrains and ran them all winter, plowing through deep snow and pulling my snowmobile trailer. I never got stuck. In the spring I put my old Falkens back on because they still have useful life. They are only at...

I was a long-time Ford guy who got sick of all of their long-term problems. When I met my wife 20yrs ago she was driving a Volkswagon. When I started constantly replacing headlights and taillights I discovered how truly bad the electrical is in VW products, and how it was a known problem for...

I used that IronX (purple stuff) on my 2015 white Ram and it cured everything and I never got the rail dust spots back.

Dig into any brand and you will find problems. As you know, Toyotas are pretty reliable but pretty plain. Ram is a nice blend. It's one of the more reliable trucks in its class but with better finishes than Toyota. I wouldn't worry about quality issues.

I think that he was confusing up-shifting and down-shifting. My 2021 Bighorn certainly will let me downshift into 1st if I want, but when I set it to a higher gear it will only upshift when it's gosh darn ready (i.e. I am at the correct speed and throttle value).

Personally, I use T/H mode anytime I'm towing because the higher shifting points makes the truck sound more badass. Protecting the transmission, braking, etc....that's all just gravy on top of my Ram poutine

To keep it in the car-movie name realm, what about going from Chris to Christine?

At first I thought that was a chainsaw, but it was equally surprising to see that. Maybe we will all start doing it this way.

I rotate my tires once every fall. The two main reasons that I do instead of someone else, is because 1) I look closely for nails/screws in my tires and, 2) it forces me to lower and raise the spare tire once per year. It keeps that system moving and lets me verify that the spare is properly...

I agree that they need to diagnose in addition to just following the codes. However, how irate would the customer be if critical thinking lead the tech to replace something else which wasn't the problem. Because they have these codes built into vehicles these days, a tech better have a good...
