    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    There is a lot of work to be done. Lots of power sources that also need to be created as more people adopt the technology. Here in the South the summers always put a strain on the power grid despite having nuclear power, solar plants, natural gas generators, and thousands of windmills generating...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    How much time does that 400 mile range recharge take? (Im not picking a fight just genuinly curious) Im certain amperage rates on charging stations and the cables are limited. Plus the vehicle has to cool the batteries at the higher charge rates. I know my truck takes about 10 minutes for a full...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    The argument is muh savings on fuel. If I already own a ICE vehicle I am actually saving money not buying an electric vehicle to save money on fuel. Gas isnt that expensive when you look at actual use. As far as enviromental savings reusing and maintaining an existing vehicle is better than...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Dont forget tires in your estimate. Heavy vehicles go through tires faster. Oil changes for me are $75 twice a year and about $3000 in gas yearly.

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Has anyone done the math on gas spent yearly vs the cost of a new vehicle?

    Don't order from AmericanTrucks.com

    Unfortunately thats standard operating procedure with most resellers. You would think they could canabalize parts from a new box and ship that back to the mfg. but thats not how Ive seen it done by many companies these days. Ive ordered parts from them and they showed up undamaged and on time.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    I will add one more thing. It is not in any shops best interest to save the customer money. A proper shop should always do the best practices and verify everything is done proper. Redoing poor work not only hurts the shops reputation but also ruins the customer's experience. Every aftermarket...

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    https://www.offroadxtreme.com/tech/ram-recharged-2020-ram-1500-procharger-installation/ Nobody that has pulled down their RAM or installed a supercharger kit is knocking this out in a day. Its takes a few days to do most kit installs unless you do the same kit over and over and know all the ins...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Im getting old. I installed mudflaps from weather tech. Hoping to save the paint on the rockers and bed.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    HP Tuners can unlock PCMs. Never assume a "kit" wil just fit. Never seen a kit ever fit without some modification to make it all work. Covid definitely has ruined many things related to performace parts. Im still waiting on parts from 2 years ago.

    Engine rebuild for future whipple?

    Id say "easiest" is to buy a finished TRX if you want it to work and not go into a shop for a while. Good shops are busy. Technically it is illegal according to the EPA to modify a vehicle in any way from factory. Many tuners are being shut down and fined over this making it tough to find legit...

    Windshield Tint and Paint Protection Film for Sides

    I have a clear UV film on my front window. It works fine with the HUD. It was done twice since they got contaminants under the film the first try. Id say find the best tint place in your area and have them do it. When done right it should be mostly invisible.

    Part number for trim clip?

    I replaced mine a while back when I had to remove those parts. Kent Automotive sells them if you cant get it from a dealer.

    Apple Car Play disconnecting frequently

    Mine does this too. I have to restart the phone and Uconnect numerous times then it works fine. It works fine then I stop to get gas or something and as I leave it wont reconnect. I tried both the cable and the wireless connection. Frustrating to say the least. Works 95% of the time.

    What engine oil are you using?

    Just changed mine with the 0w20 Ultra Platnum Pennzoil. No hemi tick at start up.

    Micro Fiber towels

    I found drying microfiber towels without dryer sheets lets them soak up water better.
