    Service interval after fuel pump recall

    I had the HPFP recall performed last week. I don't recall seeing anything about changing out the fuel filter at 10K miles and my serving dealer said nothing to me about it. Where did you see the requirement for a fuel filter change at 10K miles?

    How often do you change your engine oil?

    I use the vehicle's oil life meter as a gauge when I'm approaching an oil change. This past weekend I changed the oil/filter with an oil life meter of 31% and 6,670 miles since the last oil change 9 months ago. It is also December and it was a nice day to do the work. As we approach January and...

    Remote start in cold weather

    I'm wondering what the low voltage parameter is to cancel a remote start request. The parameter is likely set at a value that is about as low as it could go while still supporting an engine start. I think the low voltage cut-off for most of the electronics on board is around 9.6 volts...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    I think you are right. When I called my dealer, they verified my VIN had the recall, put my name on the replacement pump, and scheduled my appointment. They said they would do the fuel system inspection and if other parts covered by the recall need replacement it will be done at this visit, they...

    New 2020 Limited For Sale

    The question is why has it never sold. At first, I figured it was a demo/loaner vehicle but then you said it has 11 miles on it. From what I understand, the factory warranty start date is when the vehicle is delivered to the retail buyer. Add a Maxcare service contract and go for it if the price...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Complete rip off, profit center for the greedy. In 2013 when I ordered my 1500 RAM, the 32-gallon upcharge was $75.00 ($99.24 in today's dollars). I was curious, $584.97 for the fuel tank...

    Back-up Lights

    The LED housings integrate nicely in that location, damn near looks factory. You got me thinking... Amazon doesn't have these and doesn't know when or if they will. I'm looking for a suitable replacement that will fit. The housing used by the OP is 4.3 by 2.3 inches. If anyone finds a...

    Trailer Distance

    You are correct about tow/haul mode, at least that is how my 2022 reacts. If a trailer is connected, for example, my boat, the truck has no idea it is back (the trailer uses surge braking) there nor do I use tow/haul mode with the boat. I do get a DIC message on the first turn I make saying it...

    One week review

    When I took delivery of my 2022 Longhorn with the Longhorn Level 1 Equipment Group, that was the first thing I noticed, the cup holders were too small to hold my 1-gallon water jug!

    Album Art for Ripped Music - Solution

    I've messed with the various formats in the past but I've stayed with variable encoded MP3s. In the truck with all the ambient noise, I could not hear the difference. About the album art the OP was referencing, it can be stored within the MP3 file but unless you instruct the ripper to do that...

    35 avg mpg

    My wife and I took our 2022 Longhorn ED with the GDE tune for a 2,600 mile round trip from Detroit to Sioux Falls South Dakota, up to Duluth and Two Harbors Minnesota, then east to Marquette Michigan then to Michigan's Soo area, and then headed south back home. The average MPH for the trip was...

    What are the current residual value %'s on new RAM leases?

    I wish more people would realize what you said. When you lease, it is the leasing company that buys the vehicle for the price you negotiate. The lease part is you paying for the depreciation (purchase price less the calculated residual) over the term of the lease plus interest which is the money...

    Test drove a GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation yesterday

    I'm going to throw a wrench in this, from the facet of vehicle capability you are right but then when considering after-the-sale service support, Ford is terrible. I'm recalling the days of the HPFP on the PowerStrokes and Ford's deniability and blaming the customer. I'll never have a Ford under...

    Demand For Electric Pickup Trucks Continue To Decline

    Not trying to prove anything but I was trying to find the 60 to 80 cents per gallon of gas you stated in your post #37 over street prices. I've seen substantial price deltas in the past, sometimes reaching 50 cents for a few days but never as high as you stated and suggested were the normal. I...
