    Woke up to hear the dang tick.

    Was this a cold start, lifter failure is usually heard on a hot engine. Does it go away as the engine warms up?

    2025 Ram Rebel X Cold Air Intake Problems?

    Modern engine being very sensitive to air intake volume differences? Maybe an installation issue with a sensor probe? It started happening after you installed the cold air intake, I would double check the installation, if it's correct than it's not because of an installation issue. I would...

    Went roughly 750lbs over Payload Capacity

    Highly unlikely anything happened, those payload capacities are on the conservative side of things. Just keep in mind that payload capacity also has to account for passengers and cargo in the cabin. The capacity is mostly based on the springs rates on the rear, tire specs and safety in terms...

    Problem with dealer and warranty

    I totally understand, but depending on the dealer you go to, once you're out of the original 3yr / 36k Bumper to Bumper and 5 yr / 60k powertain warranty, they may have a different system when it comes to approving diagnostic time. The Lifetime Powertrain warranty only covers if there is a...

    Problem with dealer and warranty

    Most extended warranties are really similar to powersports warranties, like jet skis and can be really frustrating. Essentially if they can't find anything wrong the manufacturer won't cover any work diag time (opposite of what they do under original warranty), so if they just inspect it but...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    On the shark fin, the actual water seal is inside near the center of the base, the gasket around the inside edge of the fin to keep the fin from scratching the roof. They also gapped the rear of gasket to allow water that gets under the fin to drain out. Not sure if you want to seal the outer...

    Not just the 5.7, all hemi variants are coming back...

    Absolutely, it was essentially their mid-size competitor in terms of pricing and a value proposition for those wanting a full size on a budget.

    The car based in SRT 6.4L Hemi in a RAM Rebel trim would get me to consider a new truck.

    Gas pumping issue

    I had the issue initially, where it would click off a few times, but it essentially went away, I don't know why, but hadn't happened in years. Definitely check with your dealer, hopefully it's just the vapor cannister filter. On a somewhat similar issue, my new Waverunner had an issue taking...

    First time RAM owner. Shoot I still call it a Dodge mot of the time

    If it had an IRS, it had to be a Lighting, especially if it drove like a car. The regular F150 still also has a leaf spring rear suspension, which isn't as smooth as the RAMs rear coil springs. The F150s ride quality isn't as good as the RAMs, it's one of the reasons why I switched, along with...

    First time RAM owner. Shoot I still call it a Dodge mot of the time

    Were you looking at the EV Lighting? That's the only "F150" with an independent rear suspension, which doesn't have a traditional truck platform even though the body looks like a regular F150. All regular truck based gas/hybrid F150s have solid rear axles.

    First time RAM owner. Shoot I still call it a Dodge mot of the time

    Welcome aboard, I'm also a life long Ford guy, but curious what Ford doesn't have a solid axle on the 1500 or larger trucks?

    EPA ROLLING BACK EMISSIONS STANDARDS.

    It doesn't end CARB, it will be years in litigation, that's if they actually try to push it, Trump hasn't mentioned it once since elected, especially since manufacturers already said they plan to continue following it regardless of EPA changes. But, never say never.

    Does stuff for earlier years fit?

    There are no bodywork changes, just bolt-on parts like the headlights, lower headlight trim and grill, the tail-lights is the same dimensionally, bed, etc. The lower plastic moldings are a slightly different design, but the metal they are attached to are the same. As mentioned, to be sure...

    EPA ROLLING BACK EMISSIONS STANDARDS.

    CARB is the issue, I don't think it's great, but it's still there and it ain't going away anytime soon, the question is what manufacturers will build to and what they think the politics and policies will be in the future, they are not going to reset only to have to reset again. I don't think JD...

    EPA ROLLING BACK EMISSIONS STANDARDS.

    Probably because they know it will be temporary and may only last as long as the next administration. Most manufacturers have already said they likely won't build down since it will take them out of sync with the rest of the World in terms of technology they will need to sell globally...
