    What is this noise?

    Is this only when cold, hot, does it go away after the engine warms up?

    Gas Mileage???

    Emissions and improved performance. The Hurricane produces less than half the CO2 the Hemi does while producing more power overall. There really isn't a way to tune the current Hemi to make it emissions compliant for the future. They need a clean sheet redesign, which is what GM is doing for...

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    Agree for the most part, but those pulling light poles out of the streets has been happening since the Super Bowl has been happening, especially East Coast Super Bowl winners do stuff like that all the time.

    12” screen not working after welding on frame

    Wow, that's definitely an issue. You try the dealership, assuming still under warranty? It could simply be a failure with the system and the welding just a happy coincidence, especially since you took the correct step of disconnecting the battery before welding, and also a welding surge protector?

    12” screen not working after welding on frame

    It can take hours for all the modules to come back online, I would wait a few more hours, you should be fine. This is a well known "trait" on the RAM and a lot of modern vehicles. If I disconnect my battery I prefer to do it at night so when I wake up it's all good to go. You should have no...

    Fuel tank capacity

    Awesome, thanks for posting! The OP should be able to confirm now, can't wait to see what he finds out.

    Fuel tank capacity

    Gotcha, what about the fuel estimate before you filled up, you based it on the fuel gauge position? If there is no miscalculation, they you have to have the wrong size tank at least stated on your window sticker. In wonder if there is a decal or label on the fuel cell you can confirm with?

    Fuel tank capacity

    I think the tank capacity is pretty accurate, 23 should not mean 30. Most people complain their tanks seems smaller than advertised. There is a miscalculation somewhere. Or the window sticker is wrong. Double check your build sheet to confirm tank size, which you can download from the Mopar...

    HEMI coming back to RAM 1500?!

    He's got in a bit click bated recently, though I agree he's generally pretty accurate.

    What are you towing?

    Just got a brand new 2023 Yamaha Waverunner VX Cruiser HO. It's technically 2 years old, but has never been in the water. The previous owner bought it as a spare ski and never used it, now getting a boat so he needed the space. Only about 1,100 lbs ski and trailer, so not exactly impressive...

    HEMI coming back to RAM 1500?!

    The Ecoboost 3.5L makes 400 hp / 500 lb-ft, while the Hurricane S.O. makes 420 hp / 469 lb-ft. The difference is 20 hp more for the Hurricane, but 31 lb-ft more torque for the Ford. In terms of engine wear, I read that higher torque has more effect on engine wear over time than higher hp...

    Dash lighting with headlights off.

    I remember a few of us complaining about that issue in a earlier thread, having everything dim in bright light because the wipers were on. Lol, none of us at the time thought about full lock on the dimmer, I think too many of us are used to other vehicles where locking that dimmer to full...

    Dash lighting with headlights off.

    Mine is a Level 2 with the 8.4" screen. Maybe slightly different programming for a 2019 vs 2022? For me, I think my truck acts the same as yours except for the first one. Which is day time out, wiper running - headlights on, dash lights automatically go to low level. I have to click on lock...

    Dash lighting with headlights off.

    I didn't realize this until recently, especially when I'm running wipers in the daytime and it causes the gauges and screen to dim and I can't see anything. What's cool about that switch is it does not force the interior dome light to turn on when you lock it to full, so if you forget to switch...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    This is a forum, you get the more extreme opinions than the general population, try reading the comments section on a TFL video covering the new RAM Hurricane, you will be shell shocked. Also, there are quite a few RHO owners reporting issues with the HO. I don't believe this is a design flaw...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    You (and I) came from Ford which has been putting six cylinder turbos in their 1500 for a long time now. However, RAM has been marketed as the V8 "Hemi" truck for a long time, it's been their identity, so it's ownership and fans are not going to handle the change without some hesitation. Also...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    If the RAM rumors are true, then the V8 in light duty is far from dead. The only full size truck that will have no V8 in the 1500 class will be the Toyota Tundra. GM not only has the 5.3L & 6.2L, they invested to keep them compliant into the next gen, with the first next-gen small block coming...

    Driver's seat play rocking front to back?

    That is definitely a possibility. I did watch some not RAM specific powered seats getting fixed online, their design looks very similar due to the nature of car seats, but it did give me a good idea on what could be an issue. Higher up on the seat, their are 4 bolts, two on each side that are...

    HEMI coming back to RAM 1500?!

    The Hemi coming back will likely be a limited option, specifically in the more basic trims (as per Mopar Insider), it will fit below both the Hurricane SO & HO in terms of price and hierarchy within the engine lineup. Not too dissimilar to Fords 2.7L, 5.0L and 3.5L lineup, but since the...

    Driver's seat play rocking front to back?

    I noticed today when getting out of my truck that I felt and heard a little bit of forward/backward play on my driver's seat. When I mean a little, I'm talking about 1-2 mm or so of "rocking" play in the seat. I hear it more than feel it, it makes a light clicking sound as it rocks back and...
