    Any advantage to using premium fuel

    I’ve ran both 87 and 93 in my SO. Minimal noticeable difference. Perhaps a bit of power loss on the top end and a tiny mpg loss on 87. Nothing worth sticking to 93.

    3.0 HO as an OPTION

    I bet it’ll be an option for the Laramie and maybe big horn in a couple years. Start it high-only, then bring it down-ticket after a year or two.

    Exhaust manifold leak

    I’ve dealt with that issue twice in the past. Other shorties did very little if anything to help performance. The passenger side swap should go smoothly. It’s the driver side that’s the headache. Also, there most likely will be bolts stuck in the head that you’ll have to extract. Since it...

    Is there a sport mode?

    The Eco diesel engine wasn’t made for sport. It was made for smoothness and fuel efficiency. A tune is pretty much the only way you’re gonna get rid of that turbo lag. The stock tune setup is hampered by government emissions requirements, sport or no.

    Payload question

    Assuming it’s bagged pellets on an actual pallet (like what Lowe’s sets out to sell individual bags of), the load in would be the scariest part to me. Whoever is driving that forklift better be really good. That amount of weight would need to be placed properly in the bed over the axle. I...

    Is there a sport mode?

    I don’t think so. However, even if it did, it’d be more of a gimmick; make the gas pedal a bit more sensitive, maybe hold one gear lower, and stiffen up the steering a touch.

    Language changes to italian

    Same issue here. Had the truck for a month and it’s happened twice so far. Good old electrical issues.

    A/C performance in the new 3 lite sixes?

    AC has been great on my ‘25 SST SO. 19’s and 20’s had the blend door issue. I would clamp the heater hose off during the summer on my ‘19 to get the AC colder. No issues on the new truck.

    Early feedback on Laramie SO

    Same experience here pretty much. Feels awesome. The throttle response isn’t perfect yet, but that’s me hunting for negatives. This engine is sweet.

    Heads up for anyone chasing down rear window leak.

    The rear cabin pressure vents also can leak into the cab and cause water to pool under the rear seat. If the leak continues, I’d check there next.

    Magsafe Charger help

    Do they plug directly into the car’s usb ports? If so, try a 12v outlet or 120v outlet adapter. I believe the vehicle usb ports are expecting to see a smart device rather than just putting out a constant 5v current for charging. Charging some devices, like my mobile hotspot, shaves the same...

    First Tire Replacement - Suburban Driving

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I’ve been running them for 30k miles and they’re still as good as they were new. My driving profile and tire priorities are very similar to yours.

    Downgrading from 12 inch UConnect 5?

    Exact same boat here. Almost never use the physical AC controls. Almost always use the comfort controls. I wish the physical buttons were swapped on the 12”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Laramie 2019 ??? gear ratio.

    https://windowstickerlookup.com Put in your vin and choose dodge. If there’s a ratio listed under optional equipment, that’s what you have. Otherwise look at the standard equipment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Better SQ with just speakers

    Make absolutely sure that you have the surround / 3d sound turned off in the sound settings. I believe you have to do this for each source (radio, usb, etc…). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best Highway Tire for Stock Rebel Wheels?

    I’m running Michelin defender ltx’s. They’ve been fantastic for highway use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stock bed rail covers and tailgate cap is/are soft easy to damage. What is anyone doing as a replacement or a fix?

    You got it. High-use of those plastics will damage them for sure. Any adhered or spray-on barrier like line-x would help. To pull an idea from the r/c car area, clear lexan held down with shoe goo would work well too. It’d also have a good chance to come off cleanly later. Sent from my...

    Would you order Air Suspension again?

    I see lift kits and such on a lot of rebels. The regular suspension is easier to do that stuff with. If your thinking about doing that, I’d go regular. If not, well, on a rebel, I’d probably still leave it off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rubbing Feeling in Steering Wheel

    Common problem in my experience. Usually occurs turning right at lower speeds with the brakes applied, like when someone would pull into their driveway. D most likely something with the electronic steering rack programming. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
