I use tow/haul pretty frequently and have 0 issues with the start/stop system.

I have the S-Type, and have been able to compare it to the ATAK in a buddy's truck. The ATAK is noticeably (and IMO, annoyingly) much louder than the S-Type while cruising. I would also say the ATAK is only slightly louder than the S-Type when you mash the fast pedal though. I haven't compared...

A lawsuit is probably the only thing that will put this on their radar for an actual fix. This isn't just happening to RAM trucks, it's happening to FCA/Stellantis vehicles of all types with the 8 and 9 speed ZF-based transmissions. It's likely a bug in their software for the TCM.

Don't agree, unless you are talking 5th gens with the base headlights. Something about those housings just ruins the entire front end of the truck.

I mean....that's usually where MDS operates. Low RPM cruising.

Has anyone found a PDF for this TSB? After many months of not having issues my truck did it again at an intersection last night.

Satisfied with my S-Type

You are correct, for some reason I thought the temperature sensor on the intake was a MAF. Don't mind me, I did not stay at a holiday inn express last night.

The best DI system is Toyota's D-4S which has both port and direct injection and allows the best of both worlds. That's where Ford likely got the idea from. With that said we have a 2017 Honda V6 with GDI and at 75000 miles the valves were surprisingly clean. The rest of the car is a flaming...

If your truck wasn't throwing a code you're fine. If it was sucking air from there you'd have a lean condition and will have a code for a vacuum leak.

Range is affected with towing on fossil fueled trucks too. I get maybe 8Mpg on some of my tows. The problem is charging rate on top of limited infrastructure. I can refuel in 5 minutes vs an hour with a BEV.

Needs an entire frame replacement and they won't total it? Wow. That's gonna be a huge labor bill, not sure how they figure it's not a totaled vehicle. If it indeed does get repaired, make sure to get a diminished value claim in with the responsible party's insurance.

It's Sunday. I slept in and haven't had my coffee yet 🤣

It's an RFID tag, likely for inventory tracking. You can safely remove it.

Lemon law attorneys are generally free to you, the manufacturer has to pay their fees with a successful lemon law claim.

Coincidence. I haven't had it happen in about 8 months and I run nothing but UNL88 or 89 octane fuels.

Switchgrass would be ideal, but that would require corn farmers to completely change their operations. There are even GMO variants of the stuff that produce PHB plastics.

Wow, apparently some people get really riled up about a ~2% loss in energy content vs E10 (which is what most gas in the USA is nowadays anyway). I will fit into the stereotype and also announce I'm an engineer. I run E15 in my truck 95% of the time since it's cheaper than regular 87 octane...

It's cheaper than regular 87 around here, so it's what I usually run. The extra point of octane doesn't hurt.

Exactly, I have like $100k in available credit. I pay off my 'regular' cards every month.
