    Capless Fuel System Locking Gas Cap?

    These days I'm not worried about anyone trying to steal from the nozzle, I'm just worried about some crazy bum using a drill and trying to get it directly from the tank.

    Ram Isn’t Saying NO To A 5.7-liter HEMI® RHO

    A regular 5.7L Hemi with 395 hp is probably way too weak to do the TRX/RHO platform justice. I love the Hemi and wouldn't buy a 1500 RAM without one, but its power is just middle of the road in a regular 1500, much less a bigger, heavier "baja" truck. The 6.4L on the other hand...

    Android auto, try this .

    Or go with a wireless Android Auto dongle. my phone never leaves my pocket when in the truck unless I need to charge it. Has been stable and doesn't disconnect. Note - I attached my wireless dongle to a USB cable with an on/off switch due to the USB outlets staying powered for 1 hour after...

    Of course. Any muffler shop can change out your muffler to something that will produce a better sound.

    Why Ram Can’t Build a Full-Size Truck for Under $40K

    You can get it under 40K with rebates and discounts off MSRP. I mean it wasn't long ago most experienced truck buyers automatically took 15% (or more) off the MSRP right off the bat. Of course the Covid market changed that, but it should be heading back there now. One of my local dealers is...

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    That's awesome, is the design similar or is it essentially like the Ford design where there's a square in the middle of the glass?

    Ram Ups the Ante with 10-Year, 100K-Mile Powertrain Warranty

    It goes back to mechanics will take care of their own tools vs someone elses. Along with personal preference and needs, most of my mechanic friends prefer to have their own set of tools they keep in a large tool box they take with them from shop to shop as they move throughout their careers...

    Ram Ups the Ante with 10-Year, 100K-Mile Powertrain Warranty

    They should at least cover the 2025 Hurricane guys for goodwill.

    Ram Ups the Ante with 10-Year, 100K-Mile Powertrain Warranty

    They should grandfather in all the previous years DT series, that would send a positive message to their customers.

    HEMI Tick Prevention

    It's the needle bearings in the roller lifters, some aren't going to be good enough, FCA at the time estimated a small percentage are going to fail no matter what you do.

    Best combination is Line-X and then any good quality heavy duty rubber bed mat. The Line-X to protect the bed, the bed mat to prevent anything from moving around in your bed while also protecting delicate stuff from getting scratched up by the sandpaper like surface of the bed liner. In fact...

    Happy 250th Birthday U.S. Army!

    Nice, this was our digs during my time in 1994, they eventually converted them to museums I think lol. It was cool because each platoon was in one building, half the platoon on each floor ....

    Happy 250th Birthday U.S. Army!

    Awesome, so you did you basic training in the old shacks like I did. We were the last cycle to do basic in old style two story wood barracks, they switched over to the modern multi-story "starship" barracks from that point on. Germany was everyone's dream location after training, besides...

    Happy 250th Birthday U.S. Army!

    Happy Birthday to the US Army. I was also in the Army, class of 94' Fort Jackson S.C., by happy coincidence my Dad also went to basic there in the mid-70s. Back then, Filipinos could get US citizenship if they joined the US military, this was during the Vietnam war era, he finished basic as...

    *HEMI UPDATE* 2026 Ram 1500 Factory Orders @ MARK DODGE

    Well, I mean it is a more complicated engine with more horsepower and torque, a higher tow rating, and slightly better mpg, it is technically supposed to be the better motor, and design specifically to replace the Hemi as the next gen engine in the 1500. It also is relatively newly produced, so...

    *HEMI UPDATE* 2026 Ram 1500 Factory Orders @ MARK DODGE

    Good point, though I'd probably prefer a Borla ATAK, I'd rather not be charged with for that exhaust, but I do love the 33 gallon tank. Still, my point isn't about what I would prefer, but how Stellantis sees these engines in the hierarchy, the fact that it's charging more than the Hurricane is...

    Hemi s Back

    I get you for sure, too loud and slow isn't great. Though mild with a nice sound, I can get behind that, give me a sense of occasion while I drive my mundane daily driver! For speed, I have my E90 M3 and bikes (SV650S, Buell 1125R) both V-Twins, though none of those are exactly quiet anymore.

    *HEMI UPDATE* 2026 Ram 1500 Factory Orders @ MARK DODGE

    That's interesting, I personally would prefer the Hemi, but surprised it's the higher priced option considering it's power specs? I should be slotted below the SO motor, they way Ford slots the 5.0L vs the 3.5L Ecoboost. But this is Stellantis, not surprised they are using this to charge more...

    Hemi s Back

    Well, half a second was clearly a little biased flippant response by me, but I've seen closer to 1 sec between the two 0-60, typically 6.1 vs 5.0. Even if the delta is closer to 1-1.5 seconds between the 5.7L and 3.0 SO, I'm still fine with it. I've driven both, and even defended the Hurricane...
