    Rebel Tailgate Occasionally Stuck Closed

    If the stud adjustment doesn’t do it, go to a body shop over the dealer. They have more experience with adjustments like this and may have some tricks up their sleeve. They may even do it while you wait for something like this.

    Motul X-cess 5w40 analysis

    Is this the first time the wear metals were high? Or were they high in all tests?

    Shark Fin Alternate?

    Unfortunately no air suspension. Couldn’t risk it freezing in the -40C bouts we have through winter.

    Did some things to my Eco today

    Anyone else despise the dipstick on these? With clean oil it’s almost impossible to tell the oil level.

    2021 ram delivery date

    Those are some major misses. I’d have them hold price on a ‘22 with the options you want, vs taking that one.

    Did some things to my Eco today

    Sounds about right for oil. They typically aren’t using oil, it’s just getting absorbed by all of the micro-porosity in the metal channels as it flows until they are saturated. Should be good by about 1000miles.

    Total height of Ram 1500 with 3.5” suspension lift and 35s

    My stock height 2021 was 79.5” to the fin. With 300lbs spread in the bed with tools and consumables it’s at 78-79” depending on the day.

    Shark Fin Alternate?

    Anyone found an alternative to the shark fin Antenna? It’s the only thing preventing me from fitting in my parkade at work by 1”. I’ve seen some nasty damage to others who have hit the shark fin on garage doors or some other hard object and don’t want to risk it. Need something flatter. Rebel...

    2021 Ram Classic Factory Order Time

    The classic plant has been shut down for months to prioritize chips for the DT and other more profitable FCA vehicles. Good luck, the wait will be a while yet and you’ll probably get it sometime in 2022.

    Select Heavy Electric?

    Yes, heavy at gain 4 works well on mine. Light at full gain was overworking the truck bug time and would have been devastating in an emergency situation. I did pull my new brakes and checked adjustment to make sure it wasn’t a brake issue and they were perfect on all four drums, adjusted to drag...

    Order Tracking

    Yes the $70,000 trucks ends up costing almost $90k with duties and taxes if imported and safetied. Warranty also becomes void, same if you take a Canadian truck and sell it in the US. We don’t get EcoDiesel below a Rebel trim here in CDA and I looked at importing. The $65,000 truck would end...

    1540 payload, what are you towing?

    I’ll add that if you are not experienced towing or don’t have your hitch setup properly or have the wrong hitch with a setup similar to mine you’d likely not have a good time. I highly recommend the blue ox sway pro with 1200lb bars. My sister has a similar setup, same truck with and started...

    1540 payload, what are you towing?

    33’ ball to back bumper. 27.5’ box. The max is without air bags, all they do is reduce squat, they don’t increase abilities.

    1540 payload, what are you towing?

    Here’s what I towed behind my 4th gen ST, basically a tradesmen, no options with a 1360lb payload and 6900lb GVWR and I was maxed with nothing in the bed. 2 adults, 2 kids well under 100lbs and a 7600lb trailer, highest scale weight for a two week trip, was down to almost 7400lbs for shorter...

    Select Heavy Electric?

    Ok, can’t select heavy/light electric on the gauge cluster screen in my truck. Was able to change the option through the radio settings. All good now.

    2021 eco diesel gas mileage

    For comparison, my rebel with 3.92s is currently getting just over 19mog city and 26 highway and it only has 150 km on it, but it’s getting better every time I drive it.

    Official Built to Serve Thread

    My 33 gallon tank and def tank were full when I picked my truck up. I was 20 minutes earlier than I said I would be and the salesmen said “ you’ll have to wait, your truck is out getting filled up and the nearest def pump is 5 km away”. Lot guy rolled up 15 minutes later, 5 minutes before my...
