    Open Differential? Not so much.

    That would be my guess, though I really can't say for sure. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Open Differential? Not so much.

    They also employ what's called an e-diff. Basically it applies the brake on the wheel that's spinning to transfer torque to the wheel that isn't. So it acts like an lsd without actually having one, though in my experience there is a slight delay with the e-diff where I find the lsd in my ram to...

    Rear Wheelhouse Liners

    The stock thing is a half liner, there is an additional option which gives better coverage. Did the truck you look at have the extra option or not? If you buy the parts with the truck and get the dealer to throw you a discount is about the same cost Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Big Horn badge on a Laramie??

    Yeah. Mine definitely seems like a little bit of an odd build, bench, 6'4" bed, 3.92 and anti-spin. But I was glad when I found it because those are what I was looking for. And for what I paid for it I couldn't justify ordering one exactly how I wanted it because it was the same price. Sent...

    Big Horn badge on a Laramie??

    Laramies can be found with the bench, though they are few and far between at times. I found mine and was happy because I like the extra space. As for the upper glove box door, could be an assembly mistake or could be what someone had to fix a broken part with. It's hard to know. Sent from my...

    Why did RAM eliminate the 3.55 gearing option?

    I think the 3.55 is a pentastar(gas v6) only ratio

    Upgrading Mirrors

    There are clip ons you can get, the 2021's can get heated, power fold tow mirrors. Though I haven't seen anyone confirm that these '21 mirrors are a direct swap onto 19/20's.

    Which model/ power train? cummins/hemi? 2500/3500?

    FWIW...the HD's are technically a 4.5 gen, they haven't gotten the new cab yet. I believe the 6.4 gets about the same mileage for city/mixed driving, but full highway is probably worse. The HD's come standard with a 30+ gallon tank, and an optional 50 with the 8' bed. The 6.4 with the 8 speed...

    Radio cutting in and out

    Do believe it's a backup camera issue, search and you will find other threads. Mine hasn't bothered this winter but did last year. Jeeps had a recall last year for a similar issue Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    2021 1500 Big Horn black edition

    The reverse braking system is seriously over sensitive, it's even worse if your driveway has any bit of incline and you back up in it. There is an option to turn the braking "feature" off on the radio. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    3.92 with the Ecodiesel

    The tow ratings are based on an sae standard, so I believe the difference between ratios is based on the results from the davis dam portion of the sae standard testing. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Ram v6 engine

    TFL did a video towing with a gladiator that had the pentastar v6. I don't recall what gearing was in it. I can imagine it would not do as well in the ram due to the weight. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    5 pass vs 6 pass seating

    I like the bench, makes the truck feel more spacious up front and gives you extra room to move your feet and legs around, plus my wife wanted it too. I do like the option of sticking one of the kids there for a short drive if needed. The BMW I had previously did feel a bit more claustrophobic...

    How long do you let your truck warm up?

    In the winter, below freezing is so, it's typically however long it takes for me to get my coat, shoes and bag and get out the door. If the truck is covered in ice or snow then it's a little longer while I remove it. Other than that, I wait for the idle to come down like others have said and...

    Level 2 Big Horn vs Level 1 Laramie

    I think that's about it, that's the truck I was looking for and happened to find a Laramie close that was a good deal. When I was looking at possibly ordering, they're within 1-2k I think it was, but incentives have always been better on big horns. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Need to purchase lifetime warranty

    The eTorque battery is covered for 8/80k as it is an emissions control device. But yes, I'm sure it will be an expensive replacement after that. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Help me decide.

    A 3.92 in 8th is about the same as the 3.21 in 7th. Especially with the diesel, unless you're really looking to tow at or above the 7k 3.21 rating, I don't think you're going to need it. The bigger thing to look at might be payload if you're going to be hauling a big TT. Sent from my Moto Z...

    Need to purchase lifetime warranty

    You can put in whatever mileage on the zeigler quote site and get the price. It might go up after 36k so be sure to check it out before then. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    A Dead RAM, a dishonest dealer, and a disheartened owner

    Many newer vehicles are extremely sensitive to voltage and capacity of the battery, especially if you don't drive long enough to truly get the battery back to full charge. It would have been a good idea to put the truck/battery on a trickle charger and make sure it was topped off. Cold weather...

    Malfunction Indicator Light (MIS) Error code P1524

    You could easily have those two readings on the same filter at 70F and then at 190F so oil temp would be very important. The only thing I can figure is that the AMSOIL filter, which has a higher efficiency, has too much restriction and is possibly restricting flow. I wonder if going to the 25k...
