    DIY oil change

    Just did the first oil change and it is pretty straight forward to the point where I will never pay anybody to change it as again. I did this at less than 3,300 miles and was unhappy and surprised to see how dirty the oil was. In hindsight, I'd recommend doing your first oil change at approx...

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    I have a 2019 Limited built on 2-14-19 with the Level 1 package and finally got a software update pushed to my truck over the weekend. The next day when I started my truck, my Harmon Karden just about blew me back out of the door it was so loud with the volume at 15. Short story is that my 900...

    V6 & Air Suspension

    I have a 2019 Limited, V6, 4x4, 3.21 rear end. I'd have to agree with the mention of reduced mileage at 70-80 MPH. At those speeds I only get around 17MPG, at 60-70 I'm at 19 MPG, 50-60 I'm above 20 MPG. My normal 12 mile route to work is a combo of city and country roads (45-55 MPH) and I...

    DIY oil change

    thank you so much for posting the picks and the process information. Did you drain the pan first and then change the filter? On filter removal, did it get messy with oil dripping or pouring down into the engine etc?

    The NEW 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque

    I came to this forum to help me decide between the Hemi & the V6. I went with the V6 and @ 1,300 miles I'm happy with why decision. The reality of my V6 MPG running 78 MPH on the hwy is 20.3 on flat runs and 17.2 on hilly runs. I have read that its gets better with break-in up to 15k miles, but...

    What's the No. 1 thing that disappointed you the most about your truck ?

    My biggest disappointment with my 19' Limited w/V6 is the rear cabin noise which includes both the wind/road noise as well as the exhaust system noise. I expected the Limited to have more sound deadening materials than what it came with. Otherwise, compared to my outdated & rough riding 17'...

    Pentastar V6--E85 Capability

    I like saving money at the pump as well as the next guy, but I had a 17' Silverado V8 and tried the E85 multiple times. As someone mentioned, It is true that the MPG drops with E85 and after doing the calculations it was a wash. Bottom line in my experience with E85 is Less $$ at the pump but...

    Fuel Economy numbers posted V6

    I have a 19' Limited, V6 e torque and 3.21 positive rear end with about 1,300 miles on it. I'm in Wisconsin and do mostly city driving. Averaging 17 mpg in these conditions, and then about 20 mpg on the freeway. Traditionally, I don't tow more than 1,000 lbs so the HEMI ($1,300 option) wasn't...

    Rear Cab Vent Mod + Sound Deadener Material

    Thanks so much for sharing your solution as I will be doing it also. Question: Do the rear seats come out pretty easy? I haven't seen anything on the forum or anywhere else that mentions the seats folding down? Any special tools needed?

    Mopar all weather vs husky floormats?

    I bought the full set of Huskies and was so extremely disappointed that I returned them without even installing the back seat mats. To start with, the contours around the edges fit very poorly being both too long, and too short so is couldn't hug the floor profile. Additionally, the locating...

    2019 Ram 3.6 Pentastar Oil Change

    back to the original posters question, has anyone done a V6 oil change that can enlighten us on do's and don'ts? I'm asking because of all the HEMI owners complaining and complications regarding changing oil and filter.

    This a great thread for my information because I traded my 17' Silverado which had 4 upper and 4 lower cargo hooks. Is 1067 and 5067 the actual Ram p/n's and where did you order them from? FYI that I purchased the cargo rails and after dry fitting one of them on the bed, I realized how much...

    V6 on the new Ram

    I just purchased a 2019 Ram Limited with the gasoline V6 about 2 weeks ago (1,000 miles) and I am happy with it in almost every way. The engine runs very smooth and quiet and delivers power smoothly as the 8 speed automatic goes thru the gears. I'd recommend it over the 9-11 mpg HEMI as reported...

    Tint top of windshield (brow tint) with rain sensing wipers?

    Has anybody purchased an aftermarket pre cut 2 pc windshield tint product (interior applied) that you are happy with? If so, could you post a link to the product and also share the your experience with installing it? I'd do it myself and would be interested in a 5% tint product.
