    3:21 vs 3:92 Gears

    The majority of us that tow often want 3 things. 33 Gal Tank, 3.92 and eTorque. The 3.92 and eTorque really allow you to tow 10,000 Lbs+ and the reason to get the 3.92 is Spider gears, pinion, and Diff Gears and the wear they will have towing heavy with a 3.21. You trade capability for fuel...

    Anyone else annoyed by the "side pockets" on the center console? Ideas for them?

    I keep two dust microfiber rags and a 10,000 MAH portable battery pack charger.

    Dead Battery maybe 4th Tow

    Ram Dealer replaced my battery after tow and dead battery time #3. They finally tested it and one of the cells was toast. No more re-charging it, time for replacement.

    Has anyone tried 305 45 22" Tires on their stock 22" rims?

    Has anyone tried these yet? FALKEN ZIEX STZ05 305 /45 R22 118H XL BSW 9"-11.5" wheel width range. Thinking of these when the Nitto's are completely shot. My fronts are already at 3/16" and the rears at 5/16" after 17,000 miles... Nittos aren't getting very good wear for me.

    SiriusXM Plans & Strategy

    I second this. They are scammers... They have been charging my credit card for the last 7 months after "cancelling" my subscription. I have a permanent dispute in place with Visa to have the charges removed every month. Nothing but a pain in the butt, called 3 times and they can't seem to...

    Buying used vs new

    From what I have researched you will get a better value and return on investment from buying new. Used cars is where most dealerships make the most profit. Big ranges of blue book let them have lots of wiggle room to up the price. Starting with a base MSRP on the sticker levels the playing...

    Need assist: 3.7 V6 seized engine

    Thanks for all of the info. The truck is sound and has a decent all else mechanical state. The mechanic is going to purchase it and put in a engine and re-sell it. My step son is getting his Dads old 2007 Ram 1500 and I am guessing his Dad is going to go get a 2015-2017 Ram 1500.

    Need assist: 3.7 V6 seized engine

    My step son seized his 2006 3.7 V6 by the oil being absent.... Question is what is the cheapest way to go, rebuild or replace? I am guessing a rebuilt or pulled 3.7 would be the most economical. Any recommendations in either Denver or Colorado Springs area? Thanks in advance.

    Limited Options - 33 gallon

    I can speak to the 33 and towing. I have a almost fully optioned limited and my payload sticker is 1345 Lbs. The 33 gallon tank is a must for me and I wouldn't trade it or Air Suspension for anything. I tow a 9,300 Lb Boat with around 950-1000 Lb Tongue weight, snowmobiles on occasion with...

    Can we turn off the RF HUB overnight?

    Dang this sucks to hear. I would buy a 2021 if this happened since I still love the truck and would totally buy it all over again.

    Sell me on RAM

    You won't be disappointed with either truck. If you add the Air suspension and the eTorque, your towing (when you do) will be easier and less stressful and you will have a more comfortable vehicle for hauling the kids, cargo and smoother ride. If you go with the Ram I would get the eTorque...

    2020 Ram doors rattle when closing

    When you shut the rear doors the cab vents are right there and flap making it sound like a rattle.

    Park Assist

    You need to hit the ok button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch from parallel to perpendicular mode and put on the blinker for which side the parking space is on. There isn't any voice feature.

    2021 Limited w Etorque (3k miles) - Power Shutdown while on the highway

    This almost sounds like the software update that didn't take that was on the one module that tells the eTorque "alternator" to turn on and charge the battery. I had three dead batteries and three tows to the dealer until they figured it out that it was the software and then also gave me a new...

    Thinking about getting a Ram for increased towing stability

    I love the ability of the extended towing mirrors to see around my 8'6" beam boat but hate the look of the "floppy bunny ears mirrors" extended mirrors on the truck when I don't need them. So I got these and I am happy and better off with visibility having them...

    Thinking about getting a Ram for increased towing stability

    I can tell you from my experience towing a 9,300 Lb 27' Boat all over the USA that the eTorque is a great feature for all of the side roads of stop and getting going again and the Air Suspension makes this truck stable and planted. I would rather have the comfort of the 1500 for the rest of the...
