    0w 20 oil, to my surprise

    i should correct my error from the first post. i was certain that the manual said 5 20, but i was wrong, upon reviewing it again it does say 0 20. i think the 5 20 was used somewhere as an example of how to read your oil label or something but in the specs pages it does say 0 20. so my hemi...

    ORP initial review

    i've had my 1500 big horn for a whole 3 weeks at this point, for about 2500 kms. on the weekend i took it to a trail that i consider a tester of sorts as it's got a bit of everything. steep, loose at spots, rocky (but not the same way as Utah is rocky, as in rocky soil with stones and small...

    0w 20 oil, to my surprise

    i think you're right. from what i read, and what the oil guy said, it's all about cold start viscosity and even milage issues. i won't argue with Ram engineers, it will get 0 20. it's just that everything i've read here and elsewhere (if you google Ram hemi 5.7 oil, etc) everything says 5 20...

    0w 20 oil, to my surprise

    i decided to do my first oil change early, around 2000 miles and to put in Penzoil Ultra Platinum with a Napa gold filter. did some research here and elsewhere, checked the manual, bought the oil and brought it to my fav oil change place. he said that you got the wrong oil. i said pardon...

    Post your Crew Cab 6’4 bed. (Official Longbed Thread)

    there's a guy in my town, i've seen his truck a couple of times at the local HD and other hardware stores, it's a black limited like yours with a black canopy. looks good. also a long box. i figure i'll run into him one of these days and compare trucks. his is certainly more upscale but my big...

    first Ram, impressions after a 1000 miles

    no memory seats. they've made it a couple days so hopefully it will continue. any stations, not just SXM. i read that setting a profile may prevent it all around. i have no idea how to do this but will figure it out.

    first Ram, impressions after a 1000 miles

    i'm a few weeks into owning my factory ordered Ram Big Horn. it's my first full size truck, first V8, first Ram. outgoing vehicle was a 2008 Nissan Frontier that i drove for 12 years (my first truck) and i loved that truck. reliable, great to drive, small and nimble, roomy for it's size, etc...

    yet another tire pressure thread (up 1 size from stock tires)

    that would make some sense. i imagine there is differences from truck to truck as well. mine is crew cab 6 4 box, ORG on 18's. the new tires are up one rating to E from D.

    The apparently all too common water leak

    i took delivery a couple weeks ago of my new Ram. it was pouring rain and has been pouring and storming almost constantly since then. there was an afternoon break in the weather last week and i decided to pull the 3rd brake light out just to have a look. (no leaking issues so far, no damp spots...

    yet another tire pressure thread (up 1 size from stock tires)

    thanks guys. yes, lower does seem to be the case as i discovered, according to the calculators. the weight diff front to back is about 60/40 from going to the dump and having the truck weighed on the scales. drive forward, drive backwards, etc. the lady was very accommodating of my funny...

    yet another tire pressure thread (up 1 size from stock tires)

    can the world handle any more pixels spilled about tire pressure? how many threads on how many forums? does the internet have the capacity? my new Ram has the Falken wildpeaks in 18 x 275 r 65. stock placard pressures on my crew cab 6 4 box, 38/38. just had new tires installed on stock rims...

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    my first choice colour was olive green, which was discontinued (at least for the BH in Canada), so PB was my fall back. now that i've got it i'm glad olive green wasn't available!

    Orange peel paint

    i've owned my PB Ram for about 6 hours. took delivery in the pouring rain. it's something i'm looking for and i did a close inspection as far as i could in the rain and not bad. yes, a few minor spots, but the paint job looks reasonable and the PB has a nice depth to it. it's beauty eh. when it...

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    a few mods in the next couple weeks to come (canopy, new tires, PPF, graphene paint coating) and i'll post some other photos. so far the paint looks pretty good, i didn't notice much orange peel, but i'll be going over this truck with a very fine tooth comb for quite a while.

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    joined the club. actually take delivery of the beast in a couple hours. this is it fresh off the auto hauler. it took only 4 days to go from the factory to the coast (in BC) and only 2 days to get trucked over to my dealer on central Vancouver Island. not bad, after a massive wait in between...

    Start of 2022 Production.

    thanks to Triple B and Eighty, helped through the long wait. ordered on March 31 and once Triple posted the build sheet, things progressed quickly. less than 2 weeks after that it got a window sticker, and was on the train right away. arrived in Vancouver on Monday, dealer told me it would take...

    Order Tracking

    i think so. the 2 local dealers (other one is about 45 minutes south) have a whack of classics. i think it's all they could get for a while.
