Some friendly advice. Keep hammering that throttle even after the break-in procedure. These engines are more prone to cam & lifter failure due to a lack of oil spray at low RPMs. The dealer warned me that I drove my 2015 too gingerly and that I need to get on the gas more often to keep the oil...

Congrats from another longtime Ford guy. I'm now on my second Ram and haven't looked back. Unless you hit the "Off" button, it will still affect the auto stop. I don't think that it has as much to do with A/C and heat per se. If I remember the manual, the truck will keep running if the cabin...

I took someone else's idea and painted my tires. Since the "etorque" badge on the hood is blue, I went with blue tire paint. I love the look, but this was a big pain to do. I had to pull the tires off in order to paint them on a table. Also, the words on my tire are recessed with rubber...

I would put a snake in the air intake

Older post/question, but just in case Desert Dawg's answer wasn't what you were looking for.... There are lots of great ways to keep a chain sharp. I've got 8 acres of coniferous forest so I am constantly cutting down trees. They grow like crazy. Even if you aren't very handy, try out the Stihl...

Yup, I've hauled my 4 wheeler several times in the bed of my truck, with the rear tires on the tailgate. The one time it blew the cylinder and I was alone, I did what Doberman11 mentioned. I ran a ratchet strap between the front bed tiedowns. I then ran the ATV winch rope to the ratchet strap...

I have an older (10+ years) VeePeak but see that for JScan I'll need something newer. The Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ on some websites says that it sucks with IOS. Does anyone have any recommendations for OBD adapters that work well with IOS?

Did you hand-paint those or is there a kit for changing the colors? I like that a lot.

I've got a 2021 Bighorn without LED lights. I really have never liked the look of yellow turn signal lights. I liked that my 2015 had red flashers in the rear. Has anyone swapped out the yellow bulbs for red? If so, what did you go with and do you like how it turned out?

Dealership scam. Read about it. Get rid of it. Dump it on the sales manager's desk and walk out.

Maybe I can take my Ram to the Toyota service department whenever it has its first problem.

I fixed the 3rd brake light on my 2015. When I went to do it on my 2021 RAM, the weather-stripping looked exactly as I would want it to look. So without doing any work, I closed it up. It's lasted half of a Minnesota winter and an entire Minnesota summer without any leaks.

Nope, not much idling but I tend not to drive hard. After the cam & lifter failure the dealer did tell me to drive it harder. So I do try to jump on the gas a little more without being a jackarse to those around me.

I can't say that I noticed any difference not having the ANC active, but I notice having my sub!

Former Ford guy ('83 Mustang -- 112hp stock!, '85 F-150, '03 F-150, '06 Ranger, '07 Ranger) who drove everything in 2015 when wanting to see what the rest of the world looked like. They all seemed close but the Ram had enough at the time to hook me. I put 112k miles on that truck, half of it...

I've had a mix of spray-in liners and the MOPAR bed mat in various trucks. Currently I have a spray-in liner with my old bed mat over the top. I like that things don't slide around on the mat, which would be similar to a bed rug. However, I got boating and camping a lot. Gas cans, oil, grease...

My 2015 occasionally threw a code (check engine light) but only when I would tow. The code was for a misfire on Cylinder #5. Eventually I learned that this was an early warning to the cam & lifter failure. My shop originally replaced the #5 plugs, cap, and wires but eventually realized it was...

I am not an engine expert, so don't take this as argumentative. However, don't you think Ram would advise owners to use 91/93 when towing if they felt that would extend the life of their product? I thought that to properly utilize higher octane fuels, the engine needed to be tuned for a higher...

Same here. Finished this spring. It isn’t professional grade but good enough for me and sounds great.

I run 89 most of the time because I seem to be towing most weekends, or even tonight when I'm going fishing on the Mississippi with friends. Like you said, pontoons are like pulling a sail and cause a lot of wind drag. It's not the weight at the wheel at that point but the additional power...
