    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Did my first oil change on my 2025. I usually try to do my own oil changes, but with my old hemi it was always a disaster with the location of the oil filter and I would just end up taking it somewhere to get done. With the hurricane motor, oil changes could not be any simpler. Oil filter is...

    Getting ready to do first oil change soon. Anyone know what oil filter do I need for the hurricane motor?

    Codes found on new 2025 1500 Rebel

    Even though I don't like the stumble, I do believe that it is a characteristic of the truck. It seems to happen at the same exact time on every cold start, so I the computer is making a change or something is starting up to cause the motor to make a change. I'm starting to believe that it...

    There should be a sticker in the driver door jam that will include month and year manufactured.

    Codes found on new 2025 1500 Rebel

    Without going out to look at the odometer, I believe I am right around 3800 miles.

    Codes found on new 2025 1500 Rebel

    I notice on cold starts my truck has the stumble at some point. I could probably time it and it would happen at the same exact time every time. Only lasts a quick second, but if I am in the truck, not only can I hear it stumble but also feel it with a shudder.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I just came back from the dealership. They checked the code and performed some update, but they said it wasn't for a misfire. Instead it was something related to the evap system. They said I should be good now. I asked about the update available for the misfire CEL, they said they know about...

    I think you are right about the 91. It's just that 91 or even 93 availability is sometimes dependent on where you live.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    If I have to always use premium fuel, it kind of offsets any of the improved fuel economy the new truck has over my old hemi. I never put 87 in the new truck. The first fill up was 93 octane after I left the dealership and then I have been using 89 since. Hopefully the update addresses the...

    To be honest, I wasn't even sure what fuel octane it asked for. I thought it recommended 89 but was still ok with 87. I guess I'm just carrying over the hemi fuel recommendations. In my area, the choices are 87, 89, or 93 at the Shell I always use.

    I have the SO, so I have been using 89. No towing. I was accelerating from a light up a slight incline, so maybe a little more into the pedal than normal.

    No updates done yet. And I have always put 89 in it, which I thought was what it asked for.

    Surprise, Surprise, check engine light came on today. 2025 Laramie with an August build and 3500 miles on it. I will be passing by the dealership tomorrow so they can scan the code. Here we go :mad:

    Ram Hurricane's Real MPG info needed

    I have a Laramie with the 3.55 rear. I have been averaging between 18.75-20mpg per tank full. This is about 1 mpg better than I was getting with my hemi with 3.21's.

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    Don't mind all the haters on here. Nothing wrong with a young person getting a new car.

    It would really depend on the bank. And since he is in a trade and maybe belongs to a union, there is a good chance that maybe he belongs to a credit union associated with it, and maybe they approved his loan for him.

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    I don't really see anything wrong with an 18 year old buying a new truck. Especially if he is working and paying for it himself. It's not like he took his money and bought a sports car that he is planning to heavily modify that will become a worthless money pit in the end. He needs a truck...

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    I brought it up because the OP had concerns and expressed regrets. Nothing wrong with bringing up that the lemon law is there for consumers if things get really bad. Maybe you missed the part where the OP mentioned that she was told by the dealership that it may be at least 3 weeks before the...

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    Nobody said to lemon law the truck. I mentioned lemon law as a form of peace of mind. My advice was, give the dealership time to fix it, but a buyer does have options just in case this turns into some ongoing problem that can't get resolved in a timely manner. So the point to the OP was...

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    I agree with everything you are saying. My point to the OP was that this is not the ideal situation, but don't be too worried other than the inconvenience, because if the problem continues to persist for an extended period of time and they still have concerns or regrets, that there are options...
