    3.21 vs 3.92: The Last Word

    I'm telling ya guys, the 3.21 Diesel is able to haul just fine. I'm just glad I didn't get the Sunroof and MFT, I wouldn't want to go over my payload.

    Retraxpro XR vs RetraxONE XR which one?

    Thanks. I'll be ordering today. I really haven't used my bed because it rains every day.

    2021 eco diesel gas mileage

    I'm at a little over 1500mi, now. At the moment, I'm averaging 25-26, as the sticker says. I'll report at the end of my tank, which could be a few more weeks. I'm still only on my 2nd full tank and my first full tank was mostly highway, if that's any indication how far I can go on one tank. I...

    Retraxpro XR vs RetraxONE XR which one?

    One more bump. I'm about to commit to the purchase of a Retrax Pro XR because I want the secure cargo space without the height of a full topper. I currently have a Roll N Lock on my Frontier with custom Yakima Hardtop Rails that I drilled and tapped directly into the outer part of the track...

    Diesel even worth it still?

    I don't really notice what shoes people wear.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    As a Floridian, I can expect hot afternoons and sudden rainstorms. I got some In-Channel AVS visors to help vent the truck and keep it dry while I'm at work. I used to think these things looked stupid as hell until I realized how well they work:

    These Things Sell Themselves

    I came home with my EcoDiesel on Memorial day. One of my neighbors is an independent contractor, he had a Nissan Frontier just like mine. I dropped by to ask if he wanted a Tri-Fold topper from my Frontier to put on his and we got to talking about my new Ram. I ended up showing him my new...

    Diesel even worth it still?

    I haven't yet set my service intervals, and I'm taking recommendations. I change my Frontier's oil with synthetic every 5k and filter (I'm not going to get into brands). My impression is that the EcoDiesel will be fine with 10k changes on a good synthetic oil. So even if it's 2x the cost...

    Could we get a sticky for maintenance parts/intervals?

    The 3.0 forum is a mish-mash of different threads. I only have about 1300mi on my truck, but I will begin deciding on maintenance intervals and parts. It would be nice to have it all in one place. I know some intervals can be found here, but I prefer owner input and brands. Filters, Fluids...

    Diesel even worth it still?

    I actually got into an argument with my wife about who gets to daily drive the Ram and the Frontier. She works from home, but also has the kids. I travel over 40mi/day for work. We set rules for when the Ram gets driven and by who. Particularly based on who is going to be driving more. I...

    Start of 2022 Production.

    That's a shame. Not a single sticker found?

    DIY brakes

    Everyone is using the word "Bolt" I imagine we're all referring to the caliper slide pins? Yea, I've never replaced one of those. I usually try to replace the boot/rubber, if it comes in the kit, but not the pins. 99% of the time, I completely wipe away all the old grease from the pins, and I...

    A few more stupid questions...

    Had to break this down into segments for my sanity. I live in Florida, so Air Suspension + Cold weather are a mystery to me. I didn't find the AS to be a particularly useful feature for the price, even when towing, so I didn't check it off. Adaptive Cruise Control. Check your packages...

    2022 Ram Bighorn - UConnect - Android Auto over Bluetooth

    Cross-posting from another thread: I've had my truck for a little over a week and I'm also trying to deal with the finicky Android Auto experience. Overall, Android Auto is pretty good when it works, and it's worth mentioning that my phone's USB port is not great (regardless of what cable I...

    Android Auto Dropping Out

    Slight Bump. I've had my truck for a little over a week and I'm also trying to deal with the finicky Android Auto experience. Overall, Android Auto is pretty good when it works, and it's worth mentioning that my phone's USB port is not great (regardless of what cable I use). So far, this is...

    Towing experiences

    Good review. Good to know it's not just me. A few years ago, I was in a wreck and the other insurance company paid for me to get a Ram for about a month. The 2020 Classic was a 5.7 Hemi, but I'm not sure what gear ratio. In either case, I'm no stranger to towing between various trucks...

    Oil & Fuel filters for eco diesel

    Another solution I discovered: Rubbermaid graduated Sous Vide containers. I bought a bunch of sizes for my kitchen, but I only really use one of them for cooking. The others ended up in my garage. Proved to be incredibly useful when I flushed and replenished 12Qts of ATF on my Nissan Frontier:

    Towing experiences

    I've committed the sin of buying a 3.21. The trailer isn't fully loaded, but it's rated for 7000# I've towed with the Hemi Classic about a year ago. My experience, the EcoDiesel 5th gen is SO MUCH BETTER. I can easily pull away from people, even managed to accidentally spin my wheels. It...
