    Happy 250th Birthday U.S. Army!

    The phrase "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" suggests that it's wise to stay aware of your enemies' actions and intentions, as this can help you protect yourself from potential harm. It emphasizes the importance of vigilance in relationships where trust is uncertain. FYI...

    V6 hard shifts when engine is cold

    I wish you the very best. Perhaps a dealer that has a wait is a good thing. Does that mean he has many repeat customers? It took 4 months to get my engine replaced. I was told day one that it would be 2 to 3 months. I tend to believe a transmission would be a simpler replacement. Again...

    Hurricane Fuel Octane

    IN NJ you are not supposed to pump your own gas, one Costco in south Jersey won't allow you at others I can. I pump faster then if I sat and waited for the attendants. https://www.getawaycouple.com/states-where-you-cant-pump-your-own-gas/

    Hurricane Fuel Octane

    Costco's high test in my area is 93. It's either 93 or 87, so I do 2/3 87 and 1/3 93 on fill ups.

    P000A Camshaft Slow Response - Big Concern? What's the solution?

    Can't comment on the code and your time frame. BUT I had a camshaft position sensor (CPS) go bad on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, it was an intermittent problem and I thought it was a fuel issue. It would run fine most of the time then on occasion it would stop running but I was able to start it up...

    How to Scan Radio Stations

    Scan goes into the same category as "passive entry" (as opposed to "keyless entry") for the Ram Bighorn, both should have been included in the build, at the very least on the Level 2 package. Both scan and passive entry are installed in my wife's 2017 Honda Civic. I think quit a few Ram owners...

    Spare tire WARNING

    Locally the spare is fine for my needs but on a recent trip (3,000 miles) I replaced the spare with the same tire/wheel. My spare limits the speed to 50 mph which to me creates a hazard on the interstates and particularly the 70 mph highways. Plus it buys me time to get the flat/damaged tire...

    Spare tire WARNING

    That's from "Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped" I was searching the Owner's Manual based on Observer 68 statement: "My manual states that you should NOT put a regular full size tire on that 245/70R 18 steel rim." The 2019 manual talks of 5 spares: Spare Tire Matching Original Equipped Tire And...

    Spare tire WARNING

    As per the Owner's Manual "Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time."

    Spare tire WARNING

    As per 2019 Owner's Manual, page 506 "Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or death" I believe...

    Downside Of Buying From Distant Dealer

    Bought my Ram from Salerno in Summit, NJ, same question from the service manager when I brought it in. The service manager at another dealership expressed the same sentiments in yahoo reviews. I have that statement in another post. It took 4 months to get my motor replaced and was told 2 to 3...

    Woke up to hear the dang tick.

    That was my experience UNTIL the motor replacement was finished after 4 months. The individual, who I couldn't understand, left a message on my answering machine. I dealt with Ram Cares years back and it was a much better experience. I believe those workers were out sourced out of the USA...
