    2022 RAM 1500

    What stats? Here's a thread where they debate it: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/2021-tahoe-suburban-yukon-shifter.117516/

    Wiring Diagrams from Ram Tech Authority - Well This Sucks

    Nonsense DRM that only makes it harder for the end user is why people pirate stuff like this, as the music and movie industries leaned more than a decade ago.

    How long do you let your truck warm up?

    Freezing? That’s sweatshirt weather!

    How long do you let your truck warm up?

    Modern engines don't require a warm-up period. In fact, it's better to start driving right away so that all the drivetrain components warm up at the same rate. My process is as follows: Start engine, wait for RPM to stabilize (a few seconds) Begin driving with mild to moderate throttle...

    eTorque amperage

    3kW / 14V = 214 amps So the eTorque 48V to 12V DC-DC converter is about equivalent to a 200A alternator. Keep in mind that the DC-DC converter has more complex electronics than an alternator, and may not respond to higher loads in the same way an alternator would. Additionally, increased load...

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    I'd say bring it back to the dealer and show them this video. Perhaps @RamCares can help?

    RTFM: Read the F***ing Manual!

    Not by the safety committee, but by the accountants. It costs (I'm estimating here) less than a cent per manual to add a warning, which may add up to a couple hundred thousand dollars in cost over the lifetime of a vehicle model. Although it sounds like a lot, it's a lot cheaper than a 4...

    RTFM: Read the F***ing Manual!

    First off I want to make sure everyone knows the title of this thread is made in jest. I mean this to be a serious discussion thread. So a lot of people in my life think I'm silly for reading a vehicle's manual. "I know how to drive a car, why would I need to read the manual!?" Well the answer...

    The Good, The Bad, And The Wants - Ram 2021 Limited Longhorn

    Wireless CarPlay is probably the only thing that was a "want" in a new truck that I'm not going to get. But honestly I don't think I'll miss it that much. I have wireless CarPlay in my 2003 Explorer (yes you read that right - I put an aftermarket radio in!) but I won't miss the failures to...

    Defective Anti-Spin LSD?

    You know a lot of people think I'm silly for reading the owner's manual but you find all sorts of tidbits of information: https://msmownerassets.z13.web.core.windows.net/assets/publications/en-us/Ram/2021/1500_DT/P117762_21_DT_OM_EN_USC_t_DIGITAL.pdf#G3.10048442

    Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle vs. Electronic Locking Rear Axle vs. Nothing

    Nothing aka "Open" differential: acts as a normal differential. If one wheel loses traction, it spins while the opposite wheel on the axle stays stationary. Relies on traction control system (brakes) to get out of slippery situations. Pros: Low Cost Cons: 100% of engine torque will not be...

    You may want to go through your paperwork from the purchase of the Ram and verify if you did or did not sign anything forfeiting the warranty on the Journey.
