    Cyl 3 misfire (P0303)

    The lifters were updated in 2015, and the issue has been significantly reduced, but that doesn't mean it never happens anymore. the issue isn't driven just by the lifters themselves, but the actual design of the motor plays a part as well. I'm not sure if the OP idles a lot, but apparently that...

    Flame red Bighorn Built to serve tow hooks and calipers

    I actually came up with an easier way. I'm an electrician, and we use colored vinyl tape for phasing conductors. I have an almost color matched roll of red vinyl tape I'm going to wrap the hooks with temporarily. I figure, from 25ft away, ill be able to gauge the look of it pretty well. plus...

    Flame red Bighorn Built to serve tow hooks and calipers

    yeah that's a good idea, if only the stores were actually open for non essential business here at the moment. going to have to amazon some Plasti-dip. I've never used it though, is it hard to get off after?

    NO TAILGATE AJAR WARNING ?? 2020 ram rebel

    After reading all of this, I'm pretty disgusted that FCA is so actively refusing to allow a dealership to do the 5 min job of enabling this feature. It is already paid for and listed as an option in our Build sheets. it's literally no skin off their backs to allow this work to be done, and they...

    Flame red Bighorn Built to serve tow hooks and calipers

    Looking for some advice, I just got my 2021 Flame red built to serve, and I'm thinking about having my tow hooks painted red, along with my calipers. I'm scared it might be too much red. anyone have anything similar? opinions?

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    easy way to figure that out, hand calculations over a set trip during break in, and compare the same trip after a few thousand miles. not all variables are perfect, wind...etc but it could give you a pretty good idea weather the truck improved or not. i know my V6 ram improved by 1-2 mpg after...

    My First Tank Of Gas MPG

    My bighorn has gotten me about 18 mpg over the course of its first tank, if it goes up a bit after break in ill be totally satisfied. there is basically no city driving here, 90% Highway. The axle ratio plays a factor, most of the low MPG numbers are coming from 3.92 gear ratios, but also keep...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    Seems like every complaint about fuel economy, comes from a member that has 3.92 gears in their signature. My brand new 5.7 hemi 3.21 is getting about 18-19 MPG. it only has about 200 miles on it. Apparently it goes up after break in, i'm very satisfied.

    Why did you choose the V6 over the hemi?

    yeah... but they were doing the Ike Gauntlet lol. If you know you tow heavy, and have to go up THAT hill, then you buy the hemi, or the diesel, because that's not just a hill, its a MOUNTAIN. a 7% grade 11,000 feet above sea level is not exactly a performance test representative of the use case...

    Why did you choose the V6 over the hemi?

    I have a 21' bighorn on order, i chose the V6 because I drove a 2016 v6 Pentastar for the past 5 years, and it has been fantastic. I've gotten excellent fuel economy, it has had plenty of power for light towing (fishing boats, small camper, utility trailer...etc). 305 hp is nothing to scoff...
