    Did I make a mistake getting a RAM???

    All brands have units with problems. Usually, the ones that comes with low miles and great price.

    Can we order Laramie's with the Hemi e-torque motor?

    Yep, it was done back in May. I contacted local dealers and even Mark Dodge, which all confirmed you cannot order Hemi with short bed and 4x4. I ended up buying whatever I could find on dealer lot, which was 300 miles away.

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    ^^ Exactly. The response is very similar to the like "that it is a brand new truck so I should not be carrying any tools". I suppose I am in the minority of drivers who still change their own tires when it goes flat and don't rely on emergency road service.

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    This truck has replaced my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Which means it stays in the garage for the most part, but when it goes out, I am usually away on 3000 mile round trip. I never had to use the OBDII scanner, but good to know if I am in some trouble in the middle of nowhere. If you only drive...

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    Yes, I forgot to mention that I keep the plug repair kit too and have used several times on all my cars. I never had any problem from anyone for mounting or rotating the tires.

    Ext Warranty value?

    Thanks! Will give it a call and see if I can recoup some of the money or have it added towards my new Truck.

    Does this sound right?

    I had Ecodiesel Jeep and had over 60K miles on it. No dealer every said anything about cleaning EGR. I did ended up getting it replaced under recall though, but that was around 47K miles. I would not let them touch it and mess with it so they can make some money.

    Fire Extinguishers

    I am using one of the smaller ones (1A,10BC)from Costco . It came in two pack and use the other one in my another ride. I always keep it under my rear seat.

    Ext Warranty value?

    I bought 8/120 MaxCare for my Grand Cherokee from Zeigler and still had 1 year left when I sold it. Never used it but it was for peace of mind. My Ram dealer couldn't even come close to what Zeigler quoted me for 2023 Ram. My understanding is that if you buy from Zeigler, you cannot get your...

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    Here is the dump of what I can think off. I am sure I missed few more, but almost all of this takes one RamBox. 1. Air compressor (ViAir 88P) 2.Jumper cables 3. Lithium based battery jump starter 4. 1 Qt of oil 5. Tools and bottle jack 6. Recovery Straps, Shackle Hitch Receiver 7. Bunch of...

    Retrax Pro XR with Ramboxes - Looking for Crossbars

    Someone posted here a link of video about being careful as the way rails are lined up and mounted on Retrax, it won't hold much weight and is bound to fail. Basically, three tiny bolts are holding all the weight on each side. I almost ordered it but watching that video changed my mind. I am now...

    Radar Detector

    My vote is for Uniden R7 due to front and back antennas and directional arrows, which helps when the State Trooper is coming from behind, or if it is a false positive due to a cop passing by on the opposite side of the highway. I also use Waze, but RD has saved my bacon couple of times and paid...

    Issues with ordering Hemi in Laramie trim

    Guys, MD confirmed today that Laramie cannot be ordered with V8 and short bed. It has to be 6'4". Not good.

    Issues with ordering Hemi in Laramie trim

    I may end up on Limited or even Longhorn Laramie, due to awesome LED headlamps! But I really wanted a bench seat with as many luxuries as I can and Laramie was fitting the bill (at least on paper). If I have to settle for 5 seater, then I can go all the way to TRX (lol. doubt the width will fit...

    Issues with ordering Hemi in Laramie trim

    In this case, looks like HSKR;R/T may be correct. The salesman can order Big Horn but not the Laramie. Anyway, I am waiting from two other dealers to respond about the build and see whats up with this. I really want a bench seat, but seems like only Bench seat available on lots is on Tradesman.

    Issues with ordering Hemi in Laramie trim

    I had Audi A6 with Turbo. I had to replace turbos at 90K miles, the cost of Borg Warner K03 Yurbos was 3.7k, and the labor was 5k at the dealership. They had to pull the engine out to replace it. Labor is what kills it for me. I have browsed through Tundra forums and looks like in some case to...
