    Poor gas mileage

    That image is as optimistic as the Ram display. 2544 miles and 261 gallons is 9.7mpg, is it not? That's about what my Challenger gets but I go through a lot more tires.

    Ram Will Reveal The New 2025 Ram 1500 RHO On April 25th!

    I bought the lower cost truck so I could build more hot rods! :LOL: The Challenger is my <10mpg car, I just brought home a Barracuda, and have a line on a Demon I may pick up.

    Ram Will Reveal The New 2025 Ram 1500 RHO On April 25th!

    The RHO is about perfect for what I would want in a half ton truck, although I'd want a longer bed. If it's still around in 4 or 5 years I'll probably grab one, but I don't forsee buying another new truck anytime soon unless something major happens to my current one.

    Poor gas mileage

    I don't use the screen for anything other than a VERY ballpark idea, I hand calculate. A 300 mile trip starting and ending with a full tank is pretty easy to figure out actual real life mileage.

    Poor gas mileage

    I just made a ~1200 mile trip. Got around 18mpg for most of it, and picked up an old Barracuda on the way home. The mileage for that was weird. I got 15mpg for the first couple of hours hauling it and then figured I wanted to start messing with the Tow/Haul option just to see what it would...

    Battery maintaining for lots of short trips and sitting for several days.

    Unless there's a problem with the truck and/or battery, sitting for a week or two isn't going to hurt anything.

    That's... that's what she said. ?

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Being competent at something doesn't mean you're messy at it. Why is that even thought to be a correlation? Letting an oil pan drain for 6 hours or overnight is...silly. There's no ifs ands or butts about it. Three extra drops of oil out of 7 quarts makes zero difference other than being an...

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Yep. I had the same thought. Along with, if it takes relocating your filter and spending 6 hours to do a 20 minute job, you're still doing it wrong. ;):LOL:

    Base 6 speaker upgrade options?

    I'd love to upgrade my base stereo but haven't found any simple installs yet and don't want to do it bad enough to go deep. Tagging for what info may come about.

    How many miles on your Hemi - any generation

    My 2014 ate the cam at about 110k, if that helps. :LOL:

    Gas Mileage

    I've pulled off 23-24 several times, just cruising back roads under 60mph. I'd be all kinds of happy if it got that at 75!

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    We're not draining a 300 gallon tank through a 1/4" hole. Remove drain plug, as its draining remove the filter. Install new filter. I guarantee by the time you've done that, you're down to a couple of ounces, if that, left that may drip out. Ten minutes in, once the new filter is on, I'm...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That's what I did.

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    How, unless you're decrepit and can't get up and down off the ground or are 3/4 drunk and fall asleep under there, can it POSSIBLY take a half an hour to screw a filter off and screw a new one back on? I only take 20 minutes because I'm competent.

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    I change my own oil. Last time was a couple weeks ago and it took ~17 minutes from before I rolled up the shop door to finish, without any spill. A couple hours of hassle and the cost of the parts to do the remote mount is silly. But, folks can spend their own time and money on whatever they...

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    So much hassle for such a simple job without all the extra hassle. I just don't get it.
