I don't see why it would be a bad idea if you're still happy with the truck. It's gonna cost you a lot more to replace the truck.

It's not just Limited and Tungsten models. It happens with any model 5th gen with painted factory fender flares. And the factory ppf is a joke. That spot is very vulnerable to rock chips. You should see what our 2020 Limited looks like. I used to worry about it when the truck was new lol.

That’s the problem, lots of theories but no real data on what’s causing the cam/lifter failures. It’s not just MDS lifters that are failing, and even engines without MDS have the same types of failures. I’m not convinced that MDS has anything to do with it. I’m more of the theory of soft cams...

Sounds like you might want to hold off buying a truck right now. If I were in your shoes I'd probably fix your 2019 and drive that until you have picked out a travel trailer. Then make your truck buying decision based on your towing needs. By that time you may have a better idea of the...

Just to clarify here, the "eTorque V6" is the same thing as the 3.6 L Pentastar. You can't get a Pentastar on a 5th gen Ram 1500 without etorque. Your shop is mistaken. The Pentastar has proven itself to be a very reliable engine. The Hurricane is too new to know about the reliability of it...

You can check to see if your VIN is included in the warranty extension by logging in to your account at ramtrucks.com. It will potentially save you a trip to the dealership. Also, that TSB was superseded by TSB 23-098-24. Basically, they won't replace the rear window anymore. They apply a 2...

Amen, brother!

I'm not sure it really matters. Blocking flow to the heater core is the goal, and if you close one side there can be no flow through the heater core. But I found this in a quick interweb search...

That's certainly a consideration. I would also add the amount of oil in the cooling system and how long it sits without running is just as important in your formula. Remember that hot coolant circulates through the system when he engine is running. So the oil could be constantly washed off...

In my opinion I wouldn't replace the hoses unless they're leaking or damaged. Dealership wants your money. I'm not sure I'd even bother degreasing them. Do a cooling system flush, then refill with coolant and move on.

Might as well own it. :D

Agreed. Nothing is worse than messing with that pesky head gadget. :ROFLMAO:

We're talking about possible oil in the coolant not combustion gasses. That would be a different type of head gasket failure. Head gaskets can fail in several ways. My point was that if there is a break between a coolant passage and an oil passage, there should be cross contamination...

If it was simple math, 5% of 10,000 miles would be 500 miles. From what I've seen, if you don't use your truck for towing or drive in extreme conditions the oil life monitor pretty closely tracks with mileage. Even if you wanted to stretch your OCI to the max on the oil change monitor, the...

If that is oil in your coolant it stands to reason that there would be coolant in your oil. How does the oil look?

I can see there's no point in trying to be reasonable with you so onto the ignore list you go.(y)

I can't speak for you but I post things that I think will be helpful. Sorry if you thought I was reprimanding you but that wasn't my intention. If I see something I feel is in error I speak up. I expect others to do the same when I post something in error, which happens as well. No need to...

Why the hate dude? You were the only one who was confused. Discussion in threads can sometimes drift off topic, which happened in this one. There’s no need to get snarky about it.

Guess you missed 1791’s post then (post #29). Like I suggested, if you’d bother to read the entire thread you wouldn’t be confused. Of course the original post was about 2025 models. AFAIK that’s the only year the power up feature has been available so far.

Maybe you should read the entire thread. Question was answered already.
