Yep. Long intervals are generally bad for business. The same has been said about light bulbs. They can be made with virtually unlimited lifespan....but how does a lightbulb company make money if their products never fail?

I prefer to let the engine operate as designed.

Just discovered this thread. Picked up this beauty two months ago. Love the Granite Crystal! Hides the dirt very well. Almost got a black one, but my wife drives a murdered-out Jeep GC...figured we didn't need two black vehicles. Very happy I went with the grey. Absolutely in love with...

Holy hell! You drive 60,000 miles a year? What is your occupation? I used to do about 30-35K a year and thought that was a lot when I was a fleet maintenance manager for a large concrete company and had to drive all over Alabama and the Florida Panhandle checking on my shops.

I bet that Blazer had about 180hp and got about 10mpg on a good day.

Manufacturing processes have improved dramatically. Even a cheap Ford econo-box is better built than many luxury vehicles from 30 years ago. Advances in robotics, corrosion prevention, paint, fasteners, metal fabrication, and just general quality control processes are light years ahead of...

You sound like a grouchy, old man. You can't compare an 82 Caprice with anything made this century. If Rams were built to fail at 36,000 miles, nobody would buy them. Yes, stuff breaks....but the reliability of modern vehicles is pretty amazing, especially considering the power, comfort...

I don't get it. You are going to the expense of changing the oil every 6 month no matter the mileage, but cheaping out on semi-synthetic oil?

That is a personal decisions. Not doing that will not impact the warranty.

Just curious, has anyone ever had their warranty voided on any vehicle they have ever owned simply because the oil wasn't changed precisely as recommended...or used a different type of oil?

So much misinformation about voiding your warranty on this thread. It's almost comical.

Dinan makes some awesome performance products for BMW. They have different levels of packages that you can get installed. Those top level Dinan BMWs are freaking amazing. Surprised there isn't a dedicated Ram performance company like that.

The issue is, and I have seen this on BMW, Jeep, and F150 forums...that people actually believe that a K&N filter, or a CAI, or some other cheap bolt-on product improves HP or 0-60 or top speed or whatever. They believe the marketing. Not just believe it, but die on the hill defending it. The...

It's funny how engine oil is always one of the most controversial discussions on every car forum. Here are some truths that I am sure some people will be offened by: -Changing engine oil regularly is the single most important thing you can do for your vehicle. -Going past the mileage limit...

Man, a sub-7 second 0-60 is really good for a full sized truck. That's about what a BMW 3-series runs. My old M3 wasn't much faster than that.

By the way, what is your new 0-60 time?

If Veraram's claims are correct, I'd be interested. Not because I care about half a second increase in 0-60 time, but because it looks awesome and 425hp sounds way cooler than 395.

I've owned BMWs, Jeeps, F150s and now Rams. On all their forums (I've been around a while) there are always numerous discussions of CAIs...and I can't recall anyone every verifying actual HP improvements. The guys that get them always claim they notice a difference, but nobody ever puts their...

No, you will not. That's a 3% improvement from the stock to the Vararam. Unless you are a professional racer I highly doubt anyone will ever notice a "seat of the pants" 3% increase in speed.
