    2021 EcoDiesel Towing

    My door jamb sticker on my limited shows just under 1100 pounds payload. I don't regret the truck one bit but if you add features to your truck, payload will be seriously limited. Once we load up ourselves and camping gear, we only have about 700 pounds left to put in the back or put on a...

    Way too nice for how much crap I haul around in it.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Celebrated 10,000 Miles with a full inside & out detailing. Build date 5-21 and hit 10,000 miles about 3 weeks ago. Loving the truck. Just did oil change and tire rotation so far. Took a few photos: That tailgate is swirled all to Hell and I may eventually take care of it. That was done by...

    Newbie eco questions

    If Diesel stays where it is here $2.99 a gallon, the EcoDiesel with regular maintenance will end up paying for itself around 50,000 miles in ($3200 upgrade over the E-Torque) plus additional filters and such. So it's not 'worth it' for a while but I think that's a shorter interval if you're...

    Dealer Estimated Maintenance Costs for EcoDiesel

    First week dating my GF (now wife) and she was complaining about how expensive her Kia is to service. I asked for the receipt. they charged her $99 for an engine air filter back in 2011. I started doing her maintenance after that.

    active air dams?

    I guess it's either going to fail deployed or retracted, right? I was under the car yesterday checking it out and it seems like a pretty simple thing..just a motor with an electronic cable. If mine failed and I was out of warranty, I'd probably just leave it be.

    Dealer Estimated Maintenance Costs for EcoDiesel

    Fair point, I like the receipt "CDJR, 10K mile Multi-Point Inspection" tied to my VIN instead of an independent shop even if their work is BS it's just that receipt since I do also have a 125K/8 Year Mopar warranty I don't want to ever be questioned. But to the rest of your poiunts Oil - I...

    Dealer Estimated Maintenance Costs for EcoDiesel

    "Replace Cabin Air FITLER" LOL $81? HAHAHAH. These prices are out of this world BS. $71.59 for an engine air filter? Fuel Filter - $200 I cannot get this out of my head. I can buy every part I need both air filters, fuel filter, oil filter, oil for $200 without trying.

    Dealer Estimated Maintenance Costs for EcoDiesel

    I called my dealer to schedule my 10,000 mile service noting that I performed my oil & oil filter myself and would just need my tires rotated in addition to the multipoint inspection. I like to have dealers look my vehicles over primarily to stay ahead of any warranty issues so an hour of...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    EcoDiesel is at 9500 miles so time for its first oil change. I ended up installing one of those valve things to make future oil changes much easier. All went well. Appears no oil consumption which is great. Air filter looked fine so all I have to do now is just rotate the tires and we're back in...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Amazing weekend...man do I love this truck. I was able to participate and try to make Team USA for BMW's international off-road competition. I didn't make the team but had a blast. We did 20 challenges over 3 days with 3 being team challenges with a randomly assigned group. Each person starts...

    Your bike is more fun than mine anyway! The 250R is surprisingly a top choice for many long distance travelers too. It can go anywhere, parts are everywhere and it's built like a tank. You can buy one used and then sell it for what you paid 5 years from now. Enjoy!

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I guess a video might explain it. The bike is very long. With a 6'4" bed it hangs over about 4 inches of the tail gate so I ride up the ramp then turn right and then just pick it up and move it to the left. BMW Boxers have a tele lever suspension where there's a mono-shock instead of fork...

    Another trip, this time just the one motorcycle is going. I'm going down to Greer SC to BMW to compete for a spot on Team USA...me and 50 other people duking it out for a spot on the 3-man team representing USA in Albania next September against 25 other countries. 1100 miles each way for 2 days...

    What was your interest rate when you financed your new ram?

    That step isn't necessary to get the discount. All you need is the Affiliate Number that True Car gives you. Here's how mine looked: I just printed that and took it to Mark Dodge. I also sent them a targeted email offer I received via email and a few other discounts I had found and some of...
