Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure they want the fluid to be 90 degrees F or a little bit warmer to do a correct level check. So what I’ve done in the past is wait and do my transmission filter changes during the middle of summer. In summer here it’s common for ambient temp to be...

What? I used to drag my 6k 24' enclosed trailer around with the 3.6L gas Jeep pickup. A Ram with a 6.4L Hemi would have made light work of it. I see guys all the time praising the new gas HD trucks and talking about how amazed they are at the pulling power. The Ford 7.3 gas gets within 2 MPG...

The "combined" number is what 95% of people will actually expect to see. Looks like 0 difference with the S.O. engine and -2 with the H.O. engine. Plus, higher octanes required across the board. Woof....

Just curious.. do you guys ever tow trailers? That's pretty impressive to reach that mileage without oil leaks or any of the other issues. Interesting, considering that Pennzoil and Quaker State come from the same company and are extremely similar in virgin analysis.

25 horses? That's not going to be noticeable in a 5,600 lb. vehicle.

Official EPA gas mileage numbers: ZERO gain over the Hemi in the S.O. version, less than the Hemi in the H.O. version, plus you need mid-grade on the S.O. version. So essentially, you're paying more to drive the new engine than you did the Hemi. Just brilliant. If you have a Hemi truck...

H.O. engine specs 0W40 oil. When the engineer was asked why, "It gives better bearing protection." Funny, we've been saying that for years and nobody would listen. Guys put that watery 20 weight oil in their V8 and then wonder why it ticks and the internals don't last. I would use the 40 on...

Thanks. I had no issues and wouldn't bother with the Mopar UCA personally, but if you have plenty of funds it certainly wouldn't hurt.

What's new on the '25 that's worth $8k+ more money? They put a digital screen on the passenger side now? As far as "if it's too much then don't buy it" that's exactly what's happening. Rams are sitting on lots and rotting. They're doing 20% off to try and move some of them.

It's amazing how so many people view truck payments as an evil, but they have no problem dropping hundreds per month on country club fees, golf equipment, hunting equipment, camping equipment, trips here and there, or whatever other hobby they enjoy. None of this goes with us. Whatever money...

Even Tradesman? Sounds like what Toyota has done on the new Tacoma. Safety package is standard across the board. Of course, we have to remember that "standard" doesn't mean you save money. They just lump it into the MSRP. But still, if the base models can now GET the adaptive cruise, that's...

I had no rubbing anywhere. It was very very close at the splash guards, but it didn't touch. My wheels were 20x9 with +18 offset I think. Can't remember the exact offset.

Well, hang on a sec. There are two different machines that "flush" the transmission and lines. One is a "power flush" machine that forces fresh fluid through the system. The other is a machine that simply connects to the truck and allows the truck's pump to cycle fresh fluid through. The...

I actually put 295/60R20s on. That was on my 2020 EcoDiesel North Edition. The North Edition had the Off Road Group suspension, so it sat slightly higher than a standard 4x4. With stock wheel offset, it was absolutely the tallest I could go without rubbing.

The axle ratio determines how many times your driveshaft spins to get 1 full rotation out of your tires. The 3.92 is a lower ratio (numerically higher) so the driveshaft will turn 3.92 times for every 1.00 turn of the tire. It's a mechanical advantage, that's why it's better for towing. The...

And after all that, it's no where near as simple or accurate as pulling a dipstick. On a brand new truck? Few to none. Once the miles rack up? A lot. Also, this is the most power per liter they've ever mass produced. It will be very interesting to see how it holds up when it's got a 12k...

Less payload – Already proven via charts shown on this forum Less towing- Already proven via charts shown on this forum More cost- Anybody can do basic math More maintenance and no engine dipstick- The requirements for this engine translate directly to higher cost of service intervals AND it’s...

Sensor on the engine. And we all know that sensors never fail. Which part? I've got time for a good debate.

Less payload, less towing, more cost, more maintenance, no engine dipstick, premium fuel required on the HO version, no MPG improvement in the real world, and 100% unproven for use in a pickup truck so far. That's a hard no for me. You guys be the guinea pigs. The only reason guys are...

I still wish there was a universal screen that would read the Mopar trailer tire sensors. I'd like to use it in my Ford truck also. But I haven't found anything on the Web.
