    Flame Red Monotone is my favorite RAM color.

    Exhaust leak

    I would take it to my muffler shop and point it out, should be a quick and cheap fix.

    Still learing the 5th gen. Please help.

    Majority of oil (milkshake) on coolant caps and coolant dip sticks is the oil cooler leak, especially with your model year. Once confirmed, and you get the cooler replaced and the coolant flushed, hopefully have everything back to normal. Did you check your engine oil cap?

    Still learing the 5th gen. Please help.

    As HSKR R/T mentioned, you could just have a bad oil cooler, common issue especially pre-2021 models have the older style oil cooler, not sure what year you have? Check your engine oil cap as well, hopefully it's fine.

    Still learing the 5th gen. Please help.

    How long were you driving at this point? The oil pressure seems a bit high for a hot idle, but I guess that depends on how cold it is. Your trans temp is going to be low on cold days without constant driving, the oil temp and coolant does seem on the low side as well, but if it's less than...

    Suspension Tampering

    I know people too lazy to adjust those things on their own trucks, to have someone actually mess with them is really out there.

    Sound when putting transmission in reverse?

    Not sure if this is actually normal, it may have been there the whole time and only now I'm focused on it, but I notice a sound from the rear of my truck when putting the transmission in reverse, its a mild "ting" or very low "clink" sound, almost like the differential has some slack that is...

    Unusual Issue with TPMS Sensors

    Good info. That's why if I get Mopar stuff on eBay, I generally get them from Mopar dealership parts departments selling on YouTube. Make sure to give a negative review to the seller, so people see he sold counterfeits. Either he will refund you, maybe he thought they were real, or he won't...

    Oil change every 12 months

    I love doing my own oil changes. I don't do it to save money, but it does save money compared to dealership services. The only up front cost for you is a set of ramps, I use Rhino 16,000 GVW ramps, $60 at Advance Auto is the cheapest I've seen them. You can get 12,000 GVW at Walmart for $50...

    Battery replacement steps

    I'll be using a OBDII battery connection while I replace the battery so I don't have to worry about the disconnection to the main system. However, if I wasn't going to do that, I would make sure to do this knowing I would be not driving the truck for several hours, give it time to boot...

    Recalls... Your thoughts?

    These recalls are relatively small and minor comparatively speaking.

    Nearly 8000 miles on a Hurricane HO

    Absolutely, but based on posts here, which we know is a minority of owners out there, it definitely is showing certain correlations of issues. Seems to be related to auxiliary components causing engine lights to go on, but clearly frustrating to those who spent so much money to have their...

    Nearly 8000 miles on a Hurricane HO

    Oh gotcha, totally understand, I would be too. The first couple of folks who posted don't seem to, it's fundamentally a different motor, so curious if the initial issues are isolated to the SO.

    Broken Running Board Studs - Fixed

    Cool, thank you for the post. Considering the torque rating for the running board bolts is only 15 ft-lbs, makes perfect sent they would be easy to break if you try over-torque them down because you didn't remove the paint.

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    Here are the OEM running boards I typically seen as factory equipped: These have been around since 2018... These I've seen more recently, last few years, but notice 2025 using these again....

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    That's actually my favorite style, good protection as well to your rear quarter panels from rocks thrown up from the front wheels. Curious, for the last few years, they were using a newer running board, similar in style but closer to the body. They switched back to these, which have been...

    Battery Change: Optima Yellow Top AGM or Not?

    I've noticed the same thing, quite a few people posting the original battery not lasting as long, but you have to take that with a grain of salt since most people posting on forums is a small minority of owners, and people with issues looking for solutions. That being said, my battery is over...

    Battery Change: Optima Yellow Top AGM or Not?

    Good info, my original battery on my Jan 2019 build truck is still working fine, but I know I have to start looking soon. I notice my alternator charges the stock battery up to 14.5v when it's been sitting a couple of weeks, then drops down to about 14v after a couple of hours of driving, I'm...

    Loose Window Trim

    Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but had this issue and pushing this clip hard with my thumb from the outside fixed this issue. Just put your thumb on the trim outside where the clip is on the inside, push good and hard and it will snap in place. I'm sure Wwbar has already figured this...
