    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    Guess I was over thinking it. Not surprised haha 😆

    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    Faster you go the more it is off.. that's why you need the time and distance. OP: Sorry this apparently derailed your thread.

    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    I agree, but at the time I was worried I'd f something up with my warranty.. now I'm so used to it, I just do it.

    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    I know roughly how much it is off @ 35mph & 70mph. The dash tells you how far you traveled and how long it took so you can get your avg mph for that tank. Use that information to get the distance you're 'off', add it to the miles traveled for the tank. Then it's your normal mpg calculation. It's...

    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    You can use Math to figure out your mpg without fixing your speedometer and be pretty darn close. (y)

    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    I believe you're over thinking this.. alot of people have done this exact upgrade without doing anything else. I upgraded to that exact size, but in a LT Mickey Thompson Baja Boss and I have 3.92's. Things I noticed changed: - speedo reads 70mph when I'm actually doing around 71.5 mph.. with...

    How often do you change your engine oil?

    I change @ every 5k regardless of towing, but if it makes ya feel better, it can't hurt.

    Normal engine temperatures?

    My Oil temps never get above 225F when towing.. I towed the 24' enclosed as recently as this past week to Shenandoah (mild mountains) and she still stays that low.

    My PPE transmission pan: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Nice write up. Thanks! I've bought everything to do this almost a year ago and was waiting for 60k.. now I'm @ 68k and still haven't done it. 🤬🤬🤬 ..hopefully on the 9th day of the week, because the first 8 are booked up.

    2019 Ram 1500 Limited - Front Diff Assembly Replacement

    It's designed that way, I did grease the new parts, and it's a poor design. Some companies make kits to put a boot over the spline, but I did not find them until after I had done the job. I got all the parts off RockAuto and it was not a fun job. The CV Axle shaft did not want to separate from...

    Not great at towing

    I get anywhere from 8 - 11 mpg towing this depending on how fast I'm going and how much weight I put in there. Towed it last weekend, empty trip from South Jersey to just outside Harrisburg, PA and got 10.7mpg.

    Removing ETorque

    I wish this was true.. but I know Harley Davidson has screwed people on many discontinued bikes as early as 3-4 years.. the Vrod is a perfect example of that.

    Don't worry, they'll put something in the way just to F with the mechanics & DIY guys.

    2025 tow rating

    I have not, but payload is what you really need to be worried about on the higher level trims. Towing can state 20k lbs, but if your payload is 900lbs, you aren't getting anywhere close to that.

    500 miles and towing break in

    I did not tow for the first 500, but did not follow the 50mph for first 500 towing.. by the time I towed something worth mentioning I'm pretty sure I had over 5k miles on the truck and was on the second oil change. At 65k miles now with no unusual problems that other RAMs don't have.. sad we...

    PPE Pan & 8-Speed Fluid Change

    I bought the stuff awhile back and had my buddies lift lined up this past weekend. We were supposed to do the trans and the front, passenger stub shaft / CV axle / bearings / etc.. the CV axle and stub shaft was a nightmare and took FOREVER. So Trans is probably hopefully gonna get done next...

    AT tire with low road noise.

    Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs were quiet for the first few thousand miles. I'm around 15k miles on them now, and while they're wearing very well, they sing as loud the Goodyear MT tires did on my old F150.

    Does it fit?

    Galaxy S24 Ultra in an Otter box - turn it sideways and it fits just fine.. charges most of the time too.

    Who here is NOT happy with their e-Torque system?

    My Etrq is a joke.. the mpg is worse than a standard Hemi (65K in the mid 15's mpg - mostly hwy - hand calculated) and I'm hoping it dies before the 8yr 80k warranty expires. From what I've read it's pretty expensive to replace and the dealer has to be involved.. Though I must say the shifting...
