    CAUGHT: 2021 Jeep Wagoneer Mule Tow Testing In Death Valley:

    When living in Laredo and San Antonio, Texas circa 1985-1993 there were several 'test mules' running up and down I-35 any time of the day or night. I stopped and talked to one 'driver' (actually an engineer) and he was driving a car that was homuglated so severely one could barely tell what it...

    Loud intermitent humming.

    Sounds like ANC system, which is integrated in your radio amp. When was your's built? Does it happen at about 1500 rpm? and up to about 2600 rpm? Mine made a low moan that would rattle your fillings out of your teeth, there is a fix. There has been a progression of three software updates...

    FINALLY in for a multitude of...sins. First, recall under campaign V61 performed. And we were able to duplicate the dreaded droning caused by malfunctioning ANC, multiple times. Controller flashed, will find out tomorrow if it was successful. And got tow hooks and bed lights installed...

    Experiences with oil changes so far?

    I've done one change, dealer did one at 3200, I did one at 5k and now dealer doing another at 8k. MoPar filter that came on the truck had a defective anti drain-back valve and caused 'dry cold start at least half dozen times. Dealer claimed it was 'normal'. I disagree. My first change used...

    So far disappointed with 5.7 etorque mileage, but how much does it really cost???

    I too, traded a 2015 F-150 SCrew 2.7EB for the RAM. The Ford was NOT flawless...needed five (5) oil pans and they still hadn't stopped the leak. Had problems with the frozen door locks (in Texas no less). Takata made the seat belt re-tractor and had that recall accomplished. Someone...

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    After having gone through full summer with bunch of days at 100+ and dark paint, I'd say they did a fine job engineering the AC in this vehicle....COLD.

    does anyone like their ram??

    Likewise, my dealer can go to Hell, I'll never miss them. Finest automotive machine I've owned in 50 years. After my wife (co-owner) was contacted by TexDot regarding Lemon Law buy back claim I filed against FCA US LLC on mine I've owned six months, she asked me, "Do you really want for them...

    Well, the saga continues even after contacting Alex at Ram Cares. No one at Texas CDJR does... Was contacted by Judith with FCA shortly after you escalated my concern. I was told: "Your part has a ship date to arrive at your dealer 9-26. If you haven't heard from them by then, call me and...

    Let me take back all I said about Andrew. My headliner, allegedly ordered in May, backordered until July, was not . I patiently waited until the first week of August, expecting a call to schedule replacement. Second week of August I called and left a message for Andrew to call...he didn't...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    YES! Mine 'installed by dealer' 3M 40% tint with factory rear window and rear side tint, and it does make a difference, glare and heat reduced by multiples. After driving several vehicles lacking tint it is amazing everyone doesn't tint. One of my neighbors has a 2015 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel that...

    2019 vs. 2020 RAM 1500

    Tried Sport mode on mine one time. Preferred the less abrupt shifts in normal and tow haul mode. Used tow haul every time I towed, which was close to 20K miles during ownership. The F150 felt different than the RAM. It felt 'more car like' and didn't have the 'power dome' created by the...

    2019 vs. 2020 RAM 1500

    I traded a 2015 F150 SCrrew 2.7 EB with 48k on it that I bought new. My experience was 24-25mpg empty, 9-11 mpg towing. Plenty of power through all speed ranges, BUT...truck ran in 5th or 4th when towing even in tow-haul mode. I have not towed with the Hemi yet, but I can tell you that...
