Glad to hear you're enjoying them. Mine are still doing well for me. Little over 3 yrs on them now.

That seems abnormally long. Totally understand your frustration though. The unfortunate thing is there's not a legit truck without some issues. Now the latest worry from GM is the roofs splitting 😂

No. The 4th gens had an issue with the bolts snapping. It's very well documented that the 5th gens strengthened the bolts. So now the manifolds crack. Some are thinking that the latest revisions of OEM manifolds have been strengthened and they've been adding some additional...

That seems to be common but others are ditching aftermarket for oem because they have their own set of issues with failure as well.

Yes. Mine is covered under the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. So you should be covered but cutting it close. I'm at 52,000 on my truck so I'm right there with you at the end of the road.

Finally took my truck in this past Friday to have them check out the tailgate recall and driver side exhaust manifold. Manifold has been ordered with an expected delivery date of 12/26-12/29. Hopefully that's true because I'd love to get it knocked out while we're kind of in a lull with the...

That's interesting..Did some more research and online seems to point to all rams since 2013 called for the purple. The purple turns a reddish hue after running for several thousand miles.

So long as it's not orange I think it's good. Not doubting you just sharing what the alternative is. The orange was for the 4th gens iirc.

If anyone with a sports hood wants to come to Georgia and swap then all you gotta do is ask. 😂 In fact I'll even meet you half-way!

Yes, you probably have the issue. I'm unsure if the 3rd gens did it but I'm assuming they may have. The 4th gens definitely did it. They would break the bolts more often than crack the manifold. Now they've strengthened the bolts but the manifolds crack.

I'm with you. My entire family basically says ramboxes are a requirement for every truck going forward lol.

Ramcharger drive modes straight from the ram website - "Manage your truck’s energy and performance. Select between Electric Mode, E-Save Mode, and Eco Mode, and additionally choose Charge-Depleting Mode, Battery Hold Mode, eAWD Mode, or eSport Mode to optimize energy consumption and to enhance...

I was just going off MSRPs. I can find Limiteds locally for 58k but msrp of 73k for example on the "cheap" end. The big horns I mentioned had MSRPs ranging from 48k to 66k per cars.com with no fancy additions. So I was just working off a decked out big horn with the new powertrain to figure...

Well you can make the case that we're already there. It's not so bad if you already have a truck to trade in/sell. If you're getting your first truck and a well equipped big horn is almost 70k that's a big ask for your typical middle American but I digress.

My predictions are that it'll be about $6000 more than the prices we're seeing now. So roughly about 72k for a well equipped big horn compared to 66k MSRP on one right now. Factor in manufacturer incentives and the federal tax credit for PHEVs and EVs and it probably won't be much more expensive...

This is what BDS recommends for their 4" 35 x 12.5 with 20 x 9 and 5 in. Backspace If keeping stock wheels you need narrower tires or wheel spacers. I run 34x11.50 (roughly actually 275/65r20s) because I kept my stock wheels and only have about 2.5" of total lift. I'm eager to see how it...

Yes, you want to use the rebel equivalent. The BTS has the 1" taller springs due to the ORG. It doesn't share the same oem shocks as a rebel however.

There are absolutely DC generators and I was incorrect. The ramcharger will be using the 400v architecture. For reference after a ton of digging it looks like the BMW i3 used a 2 cylinder engine to drive a DC 330v generator capable of outputting 23KW at 4800rpm. For what it's worth.

If you think of the truck itself being the housing maybe it starts to make more sense? The other thing to consider is we're talking DC voltage and likely at 48V. So that starts to change the calculation of wattage.
