    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'd like to break up with her sometimes myself but it sure does look good clean!

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I feel like I've seen you do this numerous times over the past few yrs lol. Is that accurate? It obviously impacts me zero but I'm like "dang, giving some more love to that corvette! This is like the 100th time." Lol

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Been on my OEM battery for almost 4 yrs now and still going strong 🤷‍♂️. Probably should get ready to upgrade due to lifespan though.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Picked the truck up yesterday. Nice to have it not sound like crap on start up. Took an extra day because I left my wheel lock key in my locked center console safe. Other wise pretty painless experience. No long wait time for me compared to others. Hopefully I don't have to revisit this thread...

    Ready to buy...but have some questions

    I've got a 2020 with 52,xxx miles on it so far. You can see my signature for total options but it's been pretty much flawless besides the exhaust manifolds which have plagued the Hemi for many moons. I've had no weird abnormalities with my etorque system. Pano sunroof has been flawless. 12"...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Dropping the truck off this evening to have the driver's side manifold repaired. I had to inquire about an ETA on the parts. They failed to notify me that they'd been in for a week 😒. I guess the passenger side replacement is still holding up well. Maybe a full replacement set will be enough for...

    Eibach shocks/level - WOW

    Glad to hear you're enjoying them. Mine are still doing well for me. Little over 3 yrs on them now.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    That seems abnormally long. Totally understand your frustration though. The unfortunate thing is there's not a legit truck without some issues. Now the latest worry from GM is the roofs splitting 😂

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    No. The 4th gens had an issue with the bolts snapping. It's very well documented that the 5th gens strengthened the bolts. So now the manifolds crack. Some are thinking that the latest revisions of OEM manifolds have been strengthened and they've been adding some additional...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    That seems to be common but others are ditching aftermarket for oem because they have their own set of issues with failure as well.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Yes. Mine is covered under the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. So you should be covered but cutting it close. I'm at 52,000 on my truck so I'm right there with you at the end of the road.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Finally took my truck in this past Friday to have them check out the tailgate recall and driver side exhaust manifold. Manifold has been ordered with an expected delivery date of 12/26-12/29. Hopefully that's true because I'd love to get it knocked out while we're kind of in a lull with the...

    2021 1500 5.7 coolant temp went nuts

    That's interesting..Did some more research and online seems to point to all rams since 2013 called for the purple. The purple turns a reddish hue after running for several thousand miles.

    2021 1500 5.7 coolant temp went nuts

    So long as it's not orange I think it's good. Not doubting you just sharing what the alternative is. The orange was for the 4th gens iirc.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    If anyone with a sports hood wants to come to Georgia and swap then all you gotta do is ask. 😂 In fact I'll even meet you half-way!

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Yes, you probably have the issue. I'm unsure if the 3rd gens did it but I'm assuming they may have. The 4th gens definitely did it. They would break the bolts more often than crack the manifold. Now they've strengthened the bolts but the manifolds crack.

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    I'm with you. My entire family basically says ramboxes are a requirement for every truck going forward lol.

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    I was just going off MSRPs. I can find Limiteds locally for 58k but msrp of 73k for example on the "cheap" end. The big horns I mentioned had MSRPs ranging from 48k to 66k per cars.com with no fancy additions. So I was just working off a decked out big horn with the new powertrain to figure...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Well you can make the case that we're already there. It's not so bad if you already have a truck to trade in/sell. If you're getting your first truck and a well equipped big horn is almost 70k that's a big ask for your typical middle American but I digress.
