    2021 ram limited showing wrong temperature

    There are tons of threads on this. You have to drive the truck down the road for at least 5-10 minutes. That will give the sensor time to acclimate to ambient temp with wind flowing over the sensor. Once they moved the sensor to the driver side mirror this became a problem. It gets sun...

    Fluids Change Time (Transfer, Differential, Transmission)

    I was reading a threat on this earlier today and can't find it now. I think the ATF fluid to use is called Amsoil OE Efficient or something along those lines.

    Rear axle behavior in different 4wd modes

    What you speak of is called the "FAD" for Front Axle Disconnect. Yes, it locks the front differential when ANY 4x4 range is selected and it stays locked the entire time the truck is in any 4x4 mode. The center differential inside the transfer case is a totally separate item. It has a clutch...

    Rear axle behavior in different 4wd modes

    Also note that if you have the 4Auto setting your truck will not lock the front and rear together regardless of mode. ALL modes use the clutch system. It simply applies more pressure when in 4High or Low....but it will still slip and/or overheat if you really push the truck in off-road...

    Transmission oil...

    Now that it's summer and ambient temps are commonly 90F, a guy could basically check the level as soon as the fluid is poured in. No need to let the vehicle run for any length of time at all. It makes things much much easier. In the dead of winter you'd have to wait quite a while to get to...

    LED Bulbs

    These threads are always a hornet nest. Truth is LED bulbs are AMAZING upgrades IF and ONLY IF you buy quality from a vendor like Headlight Revolution. If you buy cheap junk off Amazon or fleaBay you will have glare, poor beam patterns, insufficient heatsinks, diodes that aren't located...

    I have a ram 2021 trying to get uconnect 5

    I've had both, and I'd take UC4 any day of the week. UC5 S U C K S. Buggy, slow, complicated. It's one of the things I hate about my 2022.

    Next Ram 1500 TRX Could Be Packing Twin-Turbo Hurricane Power!

    So let me get this straight.... Ford took the V8 out of the Raptor and replaced it with a turbo-6. Fans immediately started to complain. Ram then releases a direct competitor to the Raptor with V8 power and steals a TON of Raptor sales. Ford reluctantly then responds by dropping a new Raptor...

    Ventilated seats

    Along the lines of ventilated seats.... Mine had them from the factory. But I've noticed over the last year that sometimes I can feel the air flowing out really well, other times it doesn't even feel like they are on. Sometimes during a drive it'll alternate between blowing hard and feeling...

    Lifter tick or exhaust manifold? 2019 Rebel

    That's exactly what mine sounded like until I dumped the 0W20 water oil and put a quality 5W30 synthetic in it. Been quiet as a mouse ever since. At 12,000 miles now and zero issues.

    The sky is NOT falling, but, the window is narrowing on HD 23’s

    We'll see a new HD truck from Ram in 2034 maybe. That company is terrible.

    The sky is NOT falling, but, the window is narrowing on HD 23’s

    HDs are not 5th Gen trucks, so are you suggesting that this early 2023 "build out" is because they are FINALLY after five years going to put 5th Gen cabs and sheetmetal on the HD trucks? That would be huge news if so. I want them to update the 6.4 Hemi. They need to do a refresh on that...

    Oil Filter Housing V6

    I have owned four of the Pentastar engines. 2012 Wrangler, 2014 Challenger, 2018 Wrangler, 2020 Gladiator. Everything from 285 to 305 HP trim. Towed at maximum capacity with the Gladiator. Ran the dog **** out of the Challenger. I never once EVER had a single issue out of any of those...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Good point. With Ford, GM, and Toyota sporting established trucks in the midsize segment that are all selling pretty well, it would be almost impossible for Ram to crash the party and survive unless they did a midsize very VERY well. I mean, they'd have to knock it out of the park. And I...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Right, but Stellantis has a portfolio that is sinking their business. Ram was down 18% last year after multiple years of increasing sales. They had even overtaken the Chevrolet brand as the #2 selling fullsize brand in the U.S. for the first time in my life. Now their sales are horrible...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    If they did a new Dakota correctly they would sell them like hotcakes. But alas, this new ownership is letting the existing brands die. Brands that were leading sales in all segments 24 months ago are now dying like flowers in a drought and they don't seem to have ANY clue what to do about it...

    Mufflex 24" magnaflow on 2019 Rebel 5.7 E-TORQUE

    I think so, can't remember if I got offset/ offset or center/ offset. Muffler shop said the one I got wasn't ideal but they made it work.
