I think the issue here, and I say this as an Audi and GV80 owner, is how much of a beating is this truck going to take? Most people buy trucks because they DON'T want their Audi or GV80 getting pounded over the years. If that's the case, go with a low option Laramie and save your money. Speaking...

Yeah I can appreciate that. I always read the owner's manual of every car I own and just stick with that. But I guess with the hemi "tick" its sort of a widely reported problem and so to me, to me, if using higher end oil prevents or delays the tick (i.e. somehow "better" lubricates the roller...

Okay but as far as engines in the larger category go, these are two good ones no? The 5/7 and the 6/4? The higher quality oil issue is pretty easy to solve: just use better oil or do some research into which oil has been shown to lengthen the life span of the roller pins. One fellow on YouTube...

I guess what I am asking is, the 5.7 would appear to be a VERY good v8 but for these two issues. IF and this is what I do not know for sure, those issues can be solved with only top spec oil and premium fuel then that's a pricey (but really easy if you have the $$$) solve no?

Does Hemi "tick" go away by using a heavier weight oil, a higher quality synthetic oil or buy using premium fuel only? Would premium fuel use be more related to the exhaust manifold bolt issue? If so I do not follow at all. Bolts are bolts, cheap ones rust out regardless of fuel, no???

The other thing I wonder if, excluding cost, aren't a/s shocks actually half as much work to replace as coils?

I think I do not understand the concept of a closed system and yet a constantly running compressor or a recharge??? Is this the gas in the system (it's nitrogen right???) leaking out? I think the idea was to use an inert gas that doesn't change in volume during temperature fluctuations. Anyways...

Do the LTDs with a/s ride better than the Longhorns with a/s or the Longhorns with coils? I heard Longhorns with coils ride nice...

Oh yeah one more question should I get these things rust proofed? I drove Audi for a long time and never got them rust proofed.

Any use of that air line de-icing fluid the big rigs use or no?

NICE. That sounds pretty good. Do you leave it in entry exit mode at night or not fuss around much with the heigh?

Any '19 or '20 Ontario or Northern USA LTD owners still feeling good about their air suspensions? Supposedly they were upgraded in Gen 5 to handle cold weather better. Any truth to that?

I'm a real sucker for the 2500 look in general. PW especially. But let's face it, if you're some dorky Kia or Hyundai or electric car and you see a 2500 closing in on you from behind...you're moving over...period.

Yeah right...do you think the Germans are idiots. Once they hook their silly Audi way of everything into you, every other vehicle just "seems" off. But f**k I would love a nice 1500 LTD in Black or a Power Wagon so that I could just drive over, literally, all those pesky Audis...argh...

I was just on an Audi forum dealing with yet another squeak on my A4. I really love Audis, they ARE great cars. But man do I want a Ram. Trucks just seem so big, so spacious, so "move over or I'll run you over". ARGH...

I personally do not acknowledge "real" vs fake Power Wagon. To me its the muscle its the suspension its the diffs and disconnecting sway bars. NO ONE buys a Power Wagon with the expectation of buttery soft leather seats or a 19 speaker audio system (they have a model for that already its called...

Generally speaking, when do you press the buttons corresponding to these various drive modes?

I feel so torn about this...these are two very different but equivalently amazing rigs.

I want a Power Wagon. I just cannot stop thinking about owning one. It's just not the right truck for a city guy. LTD is in many ways a superior truck: better interior, better ride quality, I honestly think the 5.7 is a killer motor, a/s means I can lift it to hit light off roading and it can...

The only thing I keep wondering about 2500s is that transmission tunnel cutting into knee/ankle space??? Like is it just my imagination or do your feet have to sort of sit "off to the side" in a 2500 vs a 1500??? It almost doesn't make sense given how huge 2500s are just sitting their in a...
