believe the repair was around at 130,000 miles, and it's around 230,000 now and has been problem free.

Happened to our 2014 some years ago, although no oil pan rattle. Cost was around $5000 then, but luckily covered under extended warranty. New lifters and camshaft.

I don't have a solution for the keypad, but a workaround for emergency situations (lost key) could be to use the Mopar/Ram app and remotely unlock the truck? I personally keep the spare key in my center console safe (wrapped in aluminum foil), so I have a backup if I should lose my key while on...

I personally like the drive a lot better now that there is more sidewall, especially on gravel/dirt roads or poorly maintained roads. No issues in any of the suspension modes. The only thing to be aware of is the tighter fit of the wheel to the brake calipers. Just make sure your tire shop...

Thanks for testing that for us. My experience has been the same: clunks when wet. And also seems to happen when it's cold outside. Goes away after driving for a while. I would add that changes in direction (turning left or right), however slight, also bring about the clunk on my truck.

So the cable worked initially and then it didn't?

If you have the transfer case with 4WD Auto, then just use that in rain and when accelerating. I've been doing that for years in over 320,000 miles and no problems

My camshaft and lifters were replaced 140,000 miles ago, so no adverse effect on engine. I would advise you to replace all lifters, instead of just the affected one. Chip in your own money if needed.

If there are no fault codes in the system and the problem is not present when tech looks at it, it makes it very hard to troubleshoot. My guess would be that wires related to transfer case are damaged somewhere. Or loose connector.

2014 with 230,000+ miles on it - no fluid change. Works as new. However: I only do this because we have an extended warranty. If we didn't, I would change every 100,000 miles or so.

Depends on whether you get the 4WD Auto transfer case, or a true 4WD (no auto function). For me, the 4WD auto comes in handy in rain and snow, on steep hills and when I need to pull out in a hurry. I don't have a use for true 4WD as the closest i come to off-roading a dirt and gravel roads.

wiring between body and door?

Well, where I live everything (shops restaurants, gun range etc) is at least 10 miles away. Also, I like driving. Then there's the regular visits to family that live 700 miles away. Etc. As far as fuel bill: anyone who feels they can afford the Limited trim should be able to afford the fuel...

We have both a 2014 Big Horn (240,000 miles) without a/s, and a 2020 Limited (177,000 miles) with a/s, and I drive both regularly. The Big Horn's ride is fine, but the Limited's comfort is in another league IMO. If money is no object, then I would always go with a/s (and retractable steps, but...

+100 Direct injection without port injection would be an automatic 'nope' for me. No interest in regular cleaning of intake.

This video does a good job explaining the Ram (and Scout) and explaining why you would or wouldn't want to get one. Most interesting part for me was that Ramcharger is less fuel efficient than regular Ram when running 100% on generator.

The Michelin tires were fine. In my area there are many twisty roads, which definitely made them wear out way before mileage warranty. Other than that, they preformed just fine. In the end, I decided I wanted more sidewall and switched to 18" wheels.

So, not seeing the MSRP custs yet. BTW, the up to 60% off was for leftover 2023 I believe. Anyway, around me leftover 2023 V8 trucks are being discounted from 61K to 47K, not bad until you remember they increased prices by at least that amount in the last 5 years.

I changed my battery in the autoparts store parking lot myself, since they were not allowed to do it because they did not want to be blamed for the electronics resetting and needing some time to come back completely. Changing the battery worked fine, and I could drive the truck, but it took a...

My 2020 just received a new transmission at 167,000 miles. This is our third Ram. Trucks are fairly reliable, but having said that I would never buy one without an extended warranty. I see the extended warranty as calling Ram's bluff on their reliability, and so far I've won.
