    Oil Filter for Ecodiesel ?

    With how important filtration is on these diesels, I’d hate not knowing if I had an official oil filter or not. I have the 8 year warranty and I’m so nervous about them finding any reason to decline me “You see sir, you’re not using a Mopar oil filter” claim denied. Even if I bought it from a...

    First time truck owner

    Congrats! I went from a Volkswagen Golf R to the crew + 6’4” bed 1500 Diesel. it’s about 8 times slower but priorities change. As a first time truck owner myself (grew up with them on the farm as a kid), leave your road rage at home, you have a big truck but it’s really easy to screw up and get...

    Also this weekend, we explored Boone, NC an the surrounding areas. A few photos of the weekend featuring the truck of course:

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    All I'm saying is I know this beast at almost 21 feet long won't fit in the parking spots in DC, NYC or Boston. I've tried. Even still, my wife totally doubted I'd be able to fit here and I was.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    ....on the first try, too! (crew cab + 6.5' bed) Yes, I did get out no problem. Backed right up to the Volvo's bumper without touching and then out with a full lock turn from the Yukon in front of me. Now...this was a North Carolina parallel park, not an NYC one so I will admit these spots...

    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    Had my truck in over the weekend for a window washer fix (hose came loose) and they did one of the recalls (software update to back up camera) but said (so this was 3/4) that the fix for the fuel pump was not available yet.

    Windshield wiper fluid not working !??

    Well, just thought I'd bump this thread to add my 2 cents about the same issue. Mine stopped spraying last week. Dealer looked it over and my hose was also disconnected. No charge since I'm under the 8 year warranty. I guess I'll just keep having them fix it every time it stops working.

    Question about 22" Factory Night Edition Wheel Colors

    I’m pretty sure they’re just dirty. That black wheel is a painted finish and it looks grey if I drive in the rain just once.

    Oil Filter for Ecodiesel ?

    I’m only giving my experience. Every oil filter that came in a mopar box for my diesel (4 so far) has been stamped with the M. The one time I ordered off amazon and it came in a plastic bag, it was a knock off and didn’t have the M.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Also one of the very last EcoDiesels. I got about 20% off MSRP on my 2021 Limied EcoD also fully loaded in early 2021 and 0% interest. that was a much different time. I think for right now, you did well and you’re going to love filling it up and driving hundreds of miles without the needle moving.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Fully agreed. Not just being elite because they’re German or anything. I’ve ridden 100K miles on these bikes always with folks on other brands and it’s amazing to me how reliable my bike is in a touring off road environment. that and how easy it is to ride in technical terrain. You can lug the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    We moved out of the woods and into suburbia which means we have an acre to mow and a growing season that lasts 3 times as long. In NH, you'd mow June - August every 10 days. Here, I need to mow twice a week March to October. So I went to go buy a mower that could handle the abuse. Turns out...

    RamRev new Infotaiment system Passenger no thanks

    Given that it’ll probably be a Technology Package option on the Laramie / Limited, most people won’t buy it and most dealers won’t stock it so I’m not worried about getting stuck with it. I’m honestly just ecstatic to see that, for now, RAM is still giving us buttons. being able to adjust the...

    980 pounds in bed...like it wasn't even there

    550 after a trip to golden corral. My dad would take us to the local buffet at 4PM when it was cheapest and yell out “strap on the feed bag, boys!“

    Should I Even Consider the EcoDiesel (3rd Gen)?

    https://www.fuelly.com/car/ram/1500/2021/adamchandler/1076358 30K miles and I’m at 23 MPGs. I’ve hauled at or just over the payload limit for 6-7K of those miles. 26K of the miles were in the North and 12K of them were during New Hampshire winter (below freezing + winter mix fuel). Looking at...

    980 pounds in bed...like it wasn't even there

    The diesel torque is great. paired with my Limited air suspension and it doesn’t squat at all.

    Pay RAM to get in line?

    Pay RAM to get in line?

    Even crappier. Anyone that wants one will get one eventually. As long as you’re okay with your neighbor having one first. Some people like feeling special

    Pay RAM to get in line?

    You can still get in line by ordering one when order banks open but you probably won’t’ get one the first model year. Which may or may not be a bad thing. EVs are technically progressing pretty fast. One model year might mean more range or faster charging so it’s not the end of the world. I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Hope I didn't offend you, just hoping folks read their manuals instead of just mine or your posts.
