    Racing Stripes

    I read on the internet that stripes are known to add 30 hp and 40 ft lbs tq, as well as get Prius like mpg’s. Hey, it's on the internet!

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

    There was a video on YT and also posted on the forum saying the hemi is coming back maybe in the fall for the 1500. Be nice if factual. Would be the few smart things they've done since the idiot CEO left. CAFE/emissions standards will have to be dropped to make that happen though.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Starlink is a bit of a hog power wise isn’t it? Edit. I use an Oupes 1800 and an off brand 12v compressor fridge/freezer on trips. Most hotel mini fridges don't have a freezer so I use the freezer there. Recharge the Oupes overnight so its good to go the next day. Otherwise its use the Bestech...

    Factory order

    Anthony from MD has said that in a previous “prices paid” reply but he also said it varies by incentives available, so guess you’d have to contact MD and compare. The issue is finding the lot truck with what you want. Ordering gets you that 99% or more of the time. Lot, uhh not so much.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Oil change at Take 5 with the bulk synthetic and cheap filter, $21 less than the dealer charges ($89 vs $110). Same 19 year olds doing the change. Always have to wipe the grubby oil handprints off the hood and inside on the engine plastics. I usually get at least 1 change at the dealer in case...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Checked another major dealer (Laura RAM) on a 25’ Laramie 4x. They didn't have anything higher than a Laramie in stock. Wonder where the Limiteds and Tungstens are? 24.5% off msrp if all incentives and discounts were applicable. VIN 1C6SRFJP8SN510252

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

    Even running full synthetic I change at 50%. I just work an extra shift every now and then ($100 net) and “spoil” the engine. Go ahead and accuse me of killing the planet…IDGAF.

    Battery died again

    Which is also needed for theft deterrent from the thieves who capture the key fob signal. Lots of YT vids about it.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Likely modified sine outlets though… be careful using them for any sensitive electronics. I have an inexpensive <$50 (verified pure sine wave ) Bestech 300 watt adapter for specialized usage. I don't pull the full 300 watts though.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    What the heck is this formerly good big discount dealer in Idaho doing? This is on an in-stock 25 Laramie… markup bs still happening? “CARS COST LESS IN CALDWELL!!! Price includes: $2500 - 2025 National Truck Month Bonus Cash . Exp. 03/31/2025 $4000 - 2025 National Retail Consumer Cash. Exp...

    Bright White vs Tricoat Ivory White: is there a big difference?

    Yep, it helps with dirt. My 23’ has the stock “bright white” and it usually looks ok except for road tar. 🙄 Getting too many rock chips though.

    Bright White vs Tricoat Ivory White: is there a big difference?

    We had the tri-coat ivory paint in 2019 with the light interior, denim dye transfer was supposed to be a problem but I never had an issue. Course’ I used a leather protector product monthly. The current 23’ Ltd came with the black interior like 90 ish percent do, however it’s been fine...

    Probably a dead cell. If you've had it since 2019 it doesn't owe you anything. Back in 19’ there were a lot of peeps who had battery replacements within a year. The day I sold mine (in 2020) it had to be jumped to get it to the dealer… 14 months old and kept on a tender every day.

    Bright White vs Tricoat Ivory White: is there a big difference?

    My 2019 Ltd was a tri coat ivory. Much less “fleet work truck” of a look. $500 upgrade cost if I remember correctly.
