    Quick oil recommendations

    I ran my factory fill out to 2500 miles. I had a trip planned towing from Indianapolis to Austin Texas and back and wanted fresh synthetic in before that. Switched to Pen Platinum and a Mopar filter (until warranty is up then likely wix). I plan to change again at 7500 miles (exactly 10k on the...

    Consuming Oil!?!

    My 21 5.7 is 5500 miles in on its 2nd oil change. I changed the factory fill at 2500 miles. I hot drained and filled exactly 7qts. It sits exactly at the full hole/mark on the dipstick and hasn’t moved at all over these 5500 miles. Pennzoil platinum used on the oil change. Hemis have been...

    Poor gas mileage

    I just returned my worst non towing tank. It’s been colder here (Indiana) and I presume we’ve made the switch to winter blend fuel. 14.75 hand calc and I was in a hurry all week. Mostly city but maybe 20% highway and I beat on it all week. On summer blend and warm weather I was averaging 16.5-18...

    Time to replace oem tires

    No input here for off road tires but how many miles did you get out of your stock set? Same as factory shoes on my truck. Thanks.

    Impressive Gas Mileage

    I drove a couple 5.7 E torques and standard 5.7s when I was shopping. This may be purely conjecture but I always set my mpg meter on test drives. The non E torque seemed to average about 4 mpg better than the E torque in my drives. I was harder on the non E torque trucks since the sales guys...

    First oil change

    4” sounds like exactly what I’m looking to do there. Thanks. It was possible to remove it upright but it rubbed oil all over multiple tubes/surfaces on the way out. Dumping it and removing sideways would work great.

    First oil change

    Awesome thanks for the heads up ! I used to squeeze a standard style funnel between my header tubes on my 67 Plymouth. If not it made for very Smokey post oil changes even if cleaned up throughly.

    Overheating the 4x4 system

    I picked up my 21 Bighorn a few weeks ago. I like having 4x4 auto as my truck sees use on tons of different boat ramps. Other than getting out of wet grass in our barn lots I will only really need 4x4 for some snow usage. I was curious about the operation of this case after reading here. In...

    Griots Ceramic 3-In-1 Wax

    Just picked this up. Will be a stop gap between now and when I can do a real DIY ceramic. Excited to see how this worked based on the glowing reviews.

    First oil change

    Flipped 2500 miles yesterday and I had filters and Pennzoil platinum 5w-20 sourced. I have a 2600 mile towing trip in a week and a half so I wanted to get the factory fill out and the good stuff in. Oil draining was easy except when the oil stream crosses the sway bar it makes a mess on the...

    Check your rear diff fluid level

    Happy to report, front/rear diffs completely full as well as my transfer case. I thought the rear was slightly low so I picked up a quart of Mopar synthetic. As soon as I squeezed some in it came right back out the fill hole.

    Impressive Gas Mileage

    Good work. My 21 non E torque Hemi/3.21 4x4 has been impressing me as well. I was fully prepared to average 15 mpg or less with as much towing as I do reading all the forums. So far my weakest tank has been 16.7 hand calc which was driving to work all week and towing a boat about 50 miles...

    First tow 2021 Hemi Quad Cab

    I had my first longish loaded tow with the new rig this weekend. It’s a 21 Hemi 3.21 Quad cab 4x4. I pulled an unloaded trailer to (not really a test) southern Wisconsin and dropped it off. On my way home (stopped in northern Indiana to grab one of my boats) I averaged 24.8 mpg on the evic. It...

    New 21 Quad Cab Big Horn

    I’ll get some photos loaded when I can. A 2” receiver is an option. When ordered without you get basically the same structure under the bumper but it has an extension to hold a ball through the bumper. This drops it to a class III hitch with a max tow of 6000lbs. Chrysler used to offer an...

    New 21 Quad Cab Big Horn

    First post here so hello! Lifelong Mopar guy and first new truck purchase ever. I have owned many many vehicles just never anything brand new. Picked up my 2021 QC Bighorn base with 3.21s and Hemi. Settled missing a few options because the deal was so good. Ended up negotiating 9200 below MSRP...
