Same on my 2025 big horn SO. Feels more like the turbo wastegate barely opening and closing back quickly, which I’ve felt on turbo engines before. No codes on mine. I may pull the plugs at some point just to make sure they’re not fouled, but I think it’s wastegate-related. No big deal for me...

Sounds more like an electronic issue to me too. Sensors, wire harness, or computer issue. I doubt the cats are actually bad.

No, but my 25 doesn’t get as warm as my 19 did. I have noticed that both trucks don’t heat at full power the entire time though. Once they get “hot”, they seem to change to “warm”. They don’t stay as hot as they get during the first few minutes. This seems to be by design. The heated seats...

As long as you’re within your payload and tow capacities, you should be fine insurance-wise on the truck. As stated above, make sure you have the proper towing equipment and weight distribution hitch. Proper towing equipment and setup is critical to safe towing with 1500’s at their weight limits.

The exhaust tick is normal on the hemi. Most every 5.7 has this issue at some point, especially by 100k. Some of the manifold bolts to break over time, and the manifolds themselves may crack too. If you don’t notice it, then don’t worry about it. Once they heat up, they seal up again and you’re...

Agreed on the gearing. I loved it when I saw that the SO came with the 3.55’s. It’s the best balance with the 8 speed. HO should have that by default too IMO. I’d only want the 3.92 if I was planning to put 35” or larger tires on the truck.

I had an ARE CX Revo on my 2019 Ram 1500. Worked really well and looked factory. Very sleek.

I’ll test out saving higher volumes to see if they load on startup. I’ve always tried lower volumes.

I’ve now found that the lowered volume levels do seem to be saved with the profile, but do not load properly on startup (revert to 15). After startup, if I then power-cycle the radio while the truck is running (hold volume button for 10-15 sec), the radio restarts and loads the saved volume...

The slight lift and level plus off-road tires increase drag quite a bit. Add the 3.92 ratio, and you’ve dropped highway mpg a lot. The extra weight hurts mpg around town too. Every rebel has been like that pretty much, whether Hemi or SSO.

Yeah that’s normal, especially in the cold. Once the tray wears in more it’ll be easier to slide.

Apple CarPlay stopped functioning once today. It usually happens at least once or twice a week. Quick fix if this happens; hold the power and select buttons (two main buttons in the scroll wheels) for around 10 seconds u til the head unit restarts. It should work after that. You can do this...

I think I may have the update their talking about, as I have the “apps” icon at the top now. The weird behaviors still exist though. I know when it loses my language and horn settings because when I get in and start backing out, the backup camera screen warning is in Italian. And I also agree...

2025 SST SO Bighorn Level 2 Night Edition. I’m 9,000 miles in now. Everything’s been great for the most part. Added nerf bars and an undercover flex tri-fold cover. The only issues have been some of the intermittent electrical gremlins that most every truck seems to have these days: - it will...

The clicking sound is the high pressure fuel pump. In my experience they are not normally that loud. It’d be worth showing that video to your dealership to get their opinion if the truck is still under warranty. If that pump fails, or loses pressure during operation (the hurricane runs really...

I’d keep them until you use the new wheels and tires for a while. If the new ones don’t balance as well, you’ll get tired of the shaky ride pretty quick. After that, if you’re satisfied, just sell them online and get ready to take a low offer. Seems like OEM wheels don’t resell very well generally.

For those two, I’d have to see the specific builds and mechanical history, and have them checked over by a mechanic first. Whichever was more mechanically sound and have options I preferred, that’s the one I’d go with.

My 2025 bighorn has 1727lbs of payload. SO SST, level 2 pkg, night edition. Let go of some of the luxury items and you’ll have all the payload you need. I moved from a Bighorn to a Limited, then back down to a Bighorn b/c all the “luxury” wore off after a few months. Both bighorns rode/ride...

Same issue here. Wish they would change that. Very annoying.

On the 25’s, it’s one of the drive modes you choose via the buttons on the steering wheel.
