    Call roadside assistance and have it towed to the nearest dealer.

    why only 4wd

    He's asking why you can't get 2wd in upper trims. The Warlock, Limited, Limited Longhorn and Tungsten are only available in 4WD.

    Side by Side Comparison 275 (Stock) vs 295 vs 35s (Pictures)

    Yea, this should help some avoid spending money on 35s since all 3 photos look about the same. The 295/70/18s should only be 0.8 tenths of an inch smaller than the 35s anyway.

    Gas mileage

    The computer has not read the correct MPG on any of the 4 Rams I have owned. You need to manually calculate your mileage to know what you are really getting.

    180 degree thermostat

    So what? People are not arguing that a 180 degree thermostat will not run cooler. Exactly what benefit does the 5.7 see from a meager 30 degree difference in temperature; especially when it was designed to run at the higher temperatures.

    180 degree thermostat

    No one is suggesting you shouldn't do anything to your truck, but many are suggesting that installing a 180 thermostat will have no benefit whatsoever. The truck is designed to provide a life of service with the thermostat installed at the factory. I've put well over 180,000 miles on a...

    Low oil pressure?

    Agreed. From what I've read, for the 5.7 20 - 30 is normal at idle and above 30 if above 2000 rpm. However, I've also read 10 psi is the minimum at idle so I doubt a dealer will do anything at all unless your idle oil pressure is below 10 psi. I was always taught a good rule of thumb for...

    Low oil pressure?

    I seriously doubt the dealer will do anything but tell you it's within the normal range.

    '24 Ram Hemi less power than '17 Hemi?

    There is another thread on this issue and many have noticed the same thing. My 23 does not have nearly the same pep as my 2012 or my 2017. It's much closer to the 2003 Ram I had when the Hemi was only rated at about 345 HP.

    MPG Improvement Suggestions

    Perhaps due to a few trolls always attacking people for not using the search function to locate past posts on a subject they wish to discuss or questions they have. They may get tired of seeing the same subjects in over and over in new threads, but they don't realize that's exactly what keeps a...

    How it's calculated

    Knowing how it miscalculates miles per gallon doesn't matter in the slightest since it's unlikely anyone will fix it and the whatever calculation it uses is consistently wrong. The total miles driven divided by gallons is precisely how to determine miles driven per gallon of gas. Whatever...

    Out of warranty.. what now? Lol

    I have no need for you or anyone else to support my position and I don't care if you waste your money purchasing extended warranties. I only care about those who are on the fence when it comes to making a decision having all the facts and not just examples of rare events expressed by those with...

    Out of warranty.. what now? Lol

    Try again, since I never said that.

    Out of warranty.. what now? Lol

    You are factually wrong. The math very strongly favors those who sell extended warranties or no one would ever sell them. However, people with tunnel vision who can only see a single vehicle and the extremely rare extreme maintenance cost that occurs when an extended warranty would apply will...

    Out of warranty.. what now? Lol

    More ignorant nonsense.

    Out of warranty.. what now? Lol

    My comment is fact. THINK HARDER. Every financial advisor on the planet would tell you buying extended car warranties is a poor financial decision. Just because you are incapable of comprehending what I have been saying does not make it BS.

    UConnect Navigation Update Email - "NO THANKS RAM"

    My Uconnect maps are far more reliable than CarPlay and I've not had a problem with it leading me astray. It also continues to work in remote area's where my phone's maps won't because I keep losing a cell signal.

    Out of warranty.. what now? Lol

    No, they only make sense for those who cannot afford the rare expensive repair out of their pocket. Extended warranties do not last forever. They cover the most reliable period of a car's life and end as the vehicle approaches the period where it's more likely to start breaking down.

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    A 20 foot garage is significantly smaller than the normal standard garage. A standard 2 car garage is 24x24 or 24x30.

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    My last Ram had the 6.4 inch bed and my current one has the 5.7 inch bed. I've noticed no difference whatsoever in parking or maneuvering. Both fit what I need to haul just fine.
