    2021 RAM 1500 Limited is Getting 8.5 MPG, Easy Driving, No Aftermarket Upgrades or Mods

    Ive got the same temps as you, unfortunately. Mine is garaged. My practice is to start it, let the RPM's drop to 800 and go. Heated seat and steering wheel keeps me happy enough until it warms up. I just drive it easy until it does warm up. I'll average 12.5 to 14 mpg this time of year. I...

    2021 RAM 1500 Limited is Getting 8.5 MPG, Easy Driving, No Aftermarket Upgrades or Mods

    I would hand calculate the next tank's mileage and see what you get. It will get you out of the trucks history of mileage.

    ACC, ESC, collision avoidance system fail

    Both the RAM and our Maxima do this once in awhile running in snow, muddy and sometime juicy bug spatter conditions. I just knock off the build up on the sensors in the bumpers and so far it has solved the problems for us. What did you find out from the dealer?

    ACC, ESC, collision avoidance system fail

    Try rinsing the sensors out with a little water and a damp rag. They can get full of dirt.

    Weird odor after carwash???

    If you can remember, when you go thru the car wash make sure the defroster is not selected and the fan running. If it is, then the cowl vent is open and you can get a rush of water from the car wash.

    We all stuck with them. Wish we weren't to be truthful

    Trailer Hitch triggers backup alarm

    Why not just pull the hitch out and put it under the seat until you need it. Eliminate one shinn cruncher that way.

    Input on AT tires

    I have been running Copper AT3/4S. A great all around AT tire thus far, no complaints from me. I lost about 1.5 mpg, but thought it a fair trade for a substantially better tire than the OEM's. I would do it again if they are still around when I need another set of tires. You have to pay...

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    Can your son legally drive your car and be insured under your insurance policy? Then you take the rental. Just a thought

    Chirping over bumps

    I once chased a chirp sound around for quite awhile a few years ago. Practically tore out the whole front end looking for it. Turns out it was the spare tire bouncing around in the back a little because it lost some air pressure over time.

    Should i buy another dodge

    For the most part all 3 Ford, GM and RAM make a good truck. All three have some evil ones out there. My 09 Silverado was "one of those trucks." I think you have to look at the dealership where you make your purchase. Some are better suited to service the cars and trucks they sell. They have...

    How to rotate my tires?

    I've found that the front tires wear thru the tread faster because they are doing all the steering and most of the stopping. That's the reason for rotating them. Before radial tires you criss crossed them front to back and left to right. Now that we all run on radial tires for the most part...

    Battery Tender recommendation for our trucks?...

    The Coco 5amp has a setting for regular lead batteries, AGM and Lithium. It seems to a good all around charger from mu experience. I live in a small town, so I don't have to drive great distances as in a larger city so I use this charger once a month to freshen up the battery.

    Battery Tender recommendation for our trucks?...

    I use the same charger as Brutal_HO for several years now. An awesome charger. Pretty much does it all. As the battery gets fully charged it will drop down to a maintainer mode. Charges all modes of batteries found in the automotive applications. I use their 1 amp charger on my Harley when...

    Which setup for best MPG on the Hemi

    I have a 19 Laramie 4 x 4 with a 3.92 rear end. I ordered it that way on purpose. What I have found there is less gear shifting with the 3.92 when you are cruising down the highway, it stays in 8th gear most of the time when driving thru the rolling hills here in the midwest. When it does...

    REVERSE AUX LIGHTING

    I used the same lights as you 3 years ago, still going strong. Only difference is I took the connection from the Kurt plug from the back side of the trailer plug so as not to cut into anything OEM. I did use some Posi-lock connectors I got from Amazon, Di electric greased all the connections...

    Has anyone used this product?

    At least you won't leave it down and drive too far. Not that I have ever done that with the bed step.o_O

    Noise in rear

    Check to see if the spare tire is snugged up tight and fully inflated.

    Funny Little Heart Attack

    It's up to you, but, I would definitely spit out the gel before you get in the truck the next time. Or swallow it, pride and all.
