    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    So what rear is the better option for the 2025s? Since we know the 3.21s are superior for all but the narrowest margin of circumstances in the current year and older 5th Gens, does the new engine and transmission setup change that fact for the 25s?

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm chuckling because the Rebel I traded into the dealer is currently STILL for sale and the price has dropped down to what they gave me for it. I thought they gave me way more than it was worth and apparently I was right. Makes me feel even better about the deal I got on my current truck last...

    Yep, second reading after coffee you're right.

    2024 Ram Rebel GT first used oil analysis results

    Their ~6,000 mile mention catches my eye, as it should be only ~1,400 miles. I am not even bothering sending mine in for analysis until a couple of oil changes go by since the first one or two are always full of assembly and metal leftovers. I just changed mine last week, I'll probably send the...

    quick oil change plug

    Just changed the oil in my truck. Took 17 minutes from the time I rolled up the shop door to get oil pan and wrench, to when I was checking the dipstick to make sure my 7 quarts was accurate. Another, maybe, 4 minutes to clean up the drain pain I used and put the now-filled-with-dirty-oil jugs...

    Poor gas mileage

    Unless those people recalibrated their speedo and odo, then comparing yours to theirs means nothing. I doubt anything is wrong with your truck.

    Serious question. For those buying new, are you waiting for a leak or just going ahead and caulking everything?

    I feel behind and under the seat for any dampness after rain storms, otherwise I'm leaving it be until it actually leaks then I'll fix it.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Well, using logic, yes. Yes it would. The number of people who drive these trucks have no need for the 5.7 in any way. But logic doesn't account for fun. :D

    How could it ever die when people refuse to accept that 3.21 > 3.92 for the majority of people? :cool::ROFLMAO:

    52k oil analysis on ‘21 3.6L E-Torque

    How many oils that are commonly available do NOT meet those specifications? People act like it's hard to find lubricants that meet manufacturer specs.

    52k oil analysis on ‘21 3.6L E-Torque

    5 weeks is surprising, they usually were around 2 and a half for me. Changing at 5k "just because" makes ZERO sense. Complete waste of time and money. Especially with how so many people complain that filter changes on these trucks are nearly impossible to do. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    You've never splurged on merino then. Merino isn't just regular wool.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Taking your significant other out for a fancy dinner isn't a sound financial investment either, but it's oftentimes an excellent idea. Nor is buying custom fitted boots, merino wool underwear, or putting that lift and big wheels and tires on your truck. So what. Doing things just because you...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yep. Reward yourself. Sometimes it's ok to spend money on things that make us happy, instead of just for financial sense. In my case, I don't enjoy working on my daily driver and I don't have much spare time and what I do have is precious. My old truck has almost 400k miles on it and it was...

    Mark Dodge End Of Year Sale?

    Yep, Anthony on this forum is great. Also, I doubt Mark has any problems meeting quotas.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yep, plenty of addicts. When I was hunting, I had a couple folks pm with links to great trucks. One of them was the forementioned 2022 model that is STILL on the lot for >10k over what I paid for my nearly the same 2023, that they wouldn't budge on. :D

    Umm, heads up

    I'd rather have nothing than have something I have to cut off and replace.
