    Misfires - some on 8 and a lot on 6

    It's the additives in the gas that makes the difference from one brand to the next. From the 2019 Owner's Manual "Materials Added To Fuel Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper octane rating, gasolines that contain detergents, corrosion and stability additives are recommended. Using...

    Water trails

    I've tried 4 leaf blowers, 2 hand held - 1 battery, 1 gas and 2 back pack. Hand held left a little to be desired, particularly the DeWalt battery operated. Tried the largest Echo 9010 and found it some what cumbersome and awkward. Currently pleased with an Echo 770.

    Confused 🤔

    FYI, some where in that compilation is discussions on oil weight. Best wishes. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/oil-change-compilation.25428/ You have hit on a "loaded" topic. Can't speak for the 3.6 but the 5.7 hemi has changed oil weights over time. My 2019's oil cap has 5 20 while...

    New 2023 Bighorn / Virginia Beach

    Hang in there, I know how you feel. I had my motor replaced at 40011 miles and now have 46K+. Did a 3000 mile trip and averaged 20 mpg with 1 tank hitting 24. That restored some confidence and the more miles I put on the better I feel.

    I have used clay bars to get the wind shield clean. One of several you tube videos.

    Looking for aftermarket replacement windshield washer nozzles to replace OEM 68291571AB

    Perhaps it is not the rain x fluid but the blending of the 2 washer fluids that create some issue similar to what can happen with different anti freezes. Just a thought.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'm an "early" person too, but it looks like you'd beat me. Retired now but if you were a 1/2 hour early you were late. https://thousandpointsofright.blogspot.com/2025/01/slavery-is-over.html

    Tie Rod Ends and Oil Change

    FYI - lot more information then you asked for in the thread. My opinion - not as bad as it is made out to be. Your second one will be a lot easier and you will get better with each change. You can reach the filter from underneath with one hand and from the front with the other...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Are you really early or really late? Does your job involve cleaning the parking lot or putting the parking stripes down?

    Sensitive Parking Sensors

    The sensor can be a real PITA however I leave them activated. I have a better idea, after owning for 6+ years, when to turn to them off in certain scenarios/terrain, but still get slammed on occasion. The sensor saved me from running over an elderly man who decided to walk behind my Ram when...

    New truck and tires don't match the sticker...?

    I was looking at a 2019 Bighorn with chrome wheels, didn't want them, dealer won't swap them for something else. Not sure what the issues are or could be with the dealerships. There are always wheel sets from Rams for sale on craigslist...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Attached is an amortization calculator. You can plug in your loan payment and it can show how much interest you will pay in those initial months before paying the loan off. That interest will cut into the $2500 credit. Best wishes with the new Ram...
