    V-8 Gas Mileage Better Than V-6

    Congrats! Just wait until you upgrade tires though... With stock tires my truck averaged in the high teens. When driving from Minnesota to Colorado and back, I averaged 24mpg at an average of 70mph. Since putting on my aggressive tires, my highway mpg is more around 20 and city is around 15...

    Why wont my truck start?

    Sounds like the whatsnot isn't hee-hawing with the thing-a-majiggy. Unhook the battery and wait a few minutes. Then reconnect and give it a try. If still a no go, call the tow buggy.

    Rant about dealers and demo cars

    A few years back my wife wanted a BMW. It's one instance where I put my foot in the ground about not owning one. She ended up leasing a demo car with 5k miles on it. She got a good discount on it and the warranty started with her lease. We then bought it and traded it in on a new Audi. I was...

    Why wont my truck start?

    Just throwing out anything. Make sure that your foot is on the brake or only the electronics will come on.

    Wifi Question

    I never heard about this. I wonder if I can still activate my free trial over a year after I bought the truck!

    Change oil or wait?

    I'm with most others. Change it somewhere between the 5k-10k mark depending on how anal you feel about it. I don't drive far in my daily life but tow my 17' boat or snowmobiles 500 miles roundtrip quite frequently up north. I usually change it somewhere around 7-8k miles. If I am anywhere close...

    2022 eTorque Surge When Starting To Move

    My wife's 2018 BMW will auto-stop just before the wheels stop moving, and the car comes to a sudden stop (as if the brakes were applied suddenly). I like how my 2021 Ram waits until I have come to a complete stop. Sometimes my truck will restart abruptly with a little jerk. Annoying but nothing...

    Am considering a new Ford Hybrid??

    I was a long-time Ford owner (owned five of them) and finally tried every brand in 2015 before settling on a Ram. I am now on my second one and can't believe the difference in quality, not only interior but just mechanical. Everyone's experience may be different, and individual trucks are all...

    4% Under Invoice on a new Ram 1500 Order

    Mine is looking at the A5 Sportback, similar but smaller than your Q5.

    4% Under Invoice on a new Ram 1500 Order

    I wish that my wife was buying a Ram instead of an Audi. You would have our business.

    Amp and speaker upgrades

    I mounted my sub amp and bypass under the drivers seat. I pulled out the ANC and the bracket that held it in place. There was just enough room. Sorry, I don't have any experience with the center console but don't see any reason for it not to work.

    Does RAM re-sell trucks they buy back?

    In 2019, my wife leased a 1yr old BMW that had about 4,300 miles on it. It was supposedly a dealer car. Either way, it has been trouble free except for the fact that it's a BMW and therefore requires it to coddled....like a "standard" brake fluid flush at 20,000 miles. WTF is that about?

    The best rear axle ratio for me

    I had a 2015 Bighorn with 3.21 gears. All summer I tow my 16.5' boat with 90hp motor roughly 500 miles round trip to my cabin, basically flat from Minneapolis to the Canadian border. In the winter I tow my two snowmobiles. Neither setup weighs a ton. The 2015 with 3.21 gears did just fine...

    Trailer connected and rear parking off issue

    I do deal with it. It's still dumb.

    P0455 Engine Code on 5th Gen

    Thanks. I visually inspected it when I tossed in some more gas the other day. It all looks good, but I can't say that I looked too hard previously.

    Trailer connected and rear parking off issue

    It's dumb that only a 7 pin should trigger this. It should work on the 4-pin as well. It's still a trailer.

    P0455 Engine Code on 5th Gen

    My 2021 1500 has about 20,500 miles and just threw its first code - the P0455 for Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak). Since these trucks don't have gas caps, are there any other easy things to check before I have to drag the beast into the dealer?

    Unidentified object on driveshaft

    Thanks, I appreciate the response.

    Anyone else annoyed by the "side pockets" on the center console? Ideas for them?

    If you've got a beard, that becomes the pre-filter for the crumb catcher in the truck.
