    Gas Tank Size - Is it Accurate?

    Here’s an easy way to check your fuel tank volume if desired. Drive until the fuel light goes ON and then fuel the tank until the pump handle stops. Wait 30 seconds and pump again until handle trips and considered this full. Record this fuel amount. Also reset your average fuel mileage meter...

    Harmon/Kardon 19 speaker in MY 2022

    The latest 23.13prod update turned my HK Surround Sound Off after update (not sure about the base/treble, ect settings), but I have Not done the Factory Reset and probably won’t because everything that I presently use works properly. Unsure if any other changes to HK were in the update.

    Harmon/Kardon 19 speaker in MY 2022

    I too have the HK system in MY2022 . Using CD or Wav formatted music on a stick, when compared to the upgraded MY2011 506-Watt Alpine surround sound w/ 9 speakers & Subwoofer in my last Ram, the Alpine was really good. I’m still adjusting these HK stereo settings and find that the bass is more...

    Ambient temp inaccuracy

    Can’t imagine how you’d manage driving the upper Midwest 6 months of the year without an outside temp display like many here do. It’s also called Sleet / freezing rain.

    Ambient temp inaccuracy

    Whenever I’ve pulled out of the garage after sitting all night, the vehicle outside temp, engine coolant and oil temp have all been very close to same at initial start-up when I’ve checked. While traveling, the outside temp display seems to be close enough for me when I’ve checked it. To be...

    Uconnect 5 FOTA S23.13 - Released 02/02/22

    After the 23.13prod update was installed, and then doing the Factory Reset after this, did you lose any of your previous settings ( system / audio, ect) and have to reconfigure?

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    You aren’t even close to the 7100 GVWR of the truck and numbers appear to be all estimates which shows little. Scale it and you’ll have some basis for argument on what you actually have.

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    Curious, have you had that new truck / trailer loaded and on a CAT scale? If so post the results. My truck is very similar to yours. Here it is fully loaded with a 6920# trailer and filled with fuel.

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    That 33 gal tank didn’t affect my Laramie 1595# payload very much, but I Do Not have DP panoramic sunroof, etorue, power running boards, MFT, Ram Box or Off Road pkg. I ordered for towing 7k# and greatest distance on gas. I tow Upper Midwest / Midwest 70% of the trips and these roads are...

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    Interesting, but not surprising, as I would bet the majority of those trucks are dealer (not customer) orders.

    Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

    I’d bet the majority that ordered trucks and had the $445 option to select a 33 gallon fuel tank did so. Doing long distance towing, it’s a big advantage being able to travel 4+ hrs without stopping for fuel. During the 4 winter months that I’m not traveling rarely will I fill over 3/4 full. I...

    Fuel Gauge Question

    When I first got my truck I ran it until the low fuel light came on to get a base line and was approximately 27.25 gallons to fill at that mark. I’ve also ran an additional 35 miles past the low fuel light coming on in November while towing 7k# and it was 30.5 gallons to fill. I had plenty of...

    Uconnect 5 FOTA S23.13 - Released 02/02/22

    Thanks for the “Heads Up” on the 23.13-prod update arriving. After hearing issues with screen activated virtual PB disappearing I’m glad I only have hard activated ones with the 8.4 screen. Got the update notice as I was going into a store and was almost reluctant to update as the 21.5D works...

    5.7 longevity

    A 2009 – 2016 5.7 Hemi w 200k miles is a valve train time bomb imho. 2017 the lifter rollers were redesigned with larger needle bearings. My 2011 5.7 Hemi went 179k miles to lifter failure towing a 7k# trailer 84K miles. Meticulously maintained.

    87 vs 89 vs 93 (again)

    I tow well over 10k miles yearly and some of it longer runs through multiple states. Towing 28’ long is harder to get in/out of fuel stops and I like/ use Loves Truck Stops. No inclines access and large opening between pump islands for easy gasoline fueling when towing. This is Non-Top Tier...

    Anyone ACTUALLY running 5w-30 or even 10w-30? Thoughts? Experience? Any REAL TRUTH to throwing a code running higher weight oil (no conjecture please)

    Agreed. This engine now has much larger lifter roller needle bearings introduced in 2017 and a 5th gen system to speed the warmup of the automatic transmission fluid and engine oil. I see this as a reliability improvement. I don’t see the 0w20 as a problem as it’s still 20 when warmed. No...
