    Oil Change Intervals

    This alone would convince me to do shorter OCI's, as well as rethink the oil I was using. If the oil had degraded to the point that it affects MDS operation at only 5k miles I'd be worried about what else might be affected by that oil. I have no experience with Valvoline full synthetic oil...

    Who here is NOT happy with their e-Torque system?

    Guys, lets keep this thread on topic.

    Bug Shields

    Hey now, I used to spend hours drooling over JC Whitney catalogs when I was younger, and those mud flaps are pretty sweet! :ROFLMAO:

    Which one!?

    Exactly! In fact, you could get a Big Horn or Laramie Classic through 2020. After that it was limited to the lowest trim levels and Warlock.

    Bug Shields

    I installed the Mopar bug shield on the 2021 Limited I used to own. I went with the black, which I thought worked well with the Night Edition color scheme. Although color matched would have been fine as well. I found that it didn't really help with bugs but it did do a great job of protecting...

    Which one!?

    It's rather pointless to ask our opinion on which truck you should buy. Especially when you don't include enough information about them. It even sounds like one of them is a 1500 Classic, which is a 4th gen. To answer your last question, it's possible to develop a leak anywhere there is a...

    Hardware for Silver Utility Rails - Rambox

    I will try to remember to measure one of the bolts on our truck when I get home from work today. I'll add the usual disclaimer that it might slip my mind because of CRS syndrome.

    Who here is NOT happy with their e-Torque system?

    There were plenty of them produced prior to the 2024 model year. Like I said, not a popular configuration, especially with the V6. But I've seen plenty of them on dealer lots over the years, especially in 2019 and 2020 when I was actively shopping for trucks. Most likely it varied greatly...

    2023 Ram 1500 Limited Electrical Issues

    I hope you've scheduled an appointment at your dealership. Since it'll probably be a week or two before they can get you in, you can check a couple things wile you wait. The factory battery has been an issue for some people. If you can, drive to NAPA, O'Reilley's, Pep Boys, or any other parts...

    3 Shark fin antennas??

    Yeah pics would be good here. I've only ever seen one on 5th gen 1500's. I suspect the other two were for something the previous owner added.

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    It's a Rebel so the RAM on the tailgate is normal.

    Who here is NOT happy with their e-Torque system?

    Agreed. Nothing rare about that configuration. I was wondering where he caught a 20' fish and where he's dragging it off to. 🤷‍♂️

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    This is the exact reason I have felt this should be a full recall. When the RF hub dies everything else dies too. Not a good thing whether you're driving 75 mph down the interstate or 25 mph on a residential street.

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Hey, speak for yourself! :ROFLMAO:

    Serious question. For those buying new, are you waiting for a leak or just going ahead and caulking everything?

    Off-roading isn't the reason for the cracks. We've never taken our Limited off road in the four years we've had it, not even gravel roads, and the rear window developed cracks on both sides of the slider by the time the truck was six months old. I'm not saying off-roading won't make it worse...

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    It seems that this warranty extension does not cover all trucks built on or before 30 Sept. Many people (including me) are finding that their VIN's aren't included in this TSB. Go to the Owner's section of the ramtrucks.com website and enter your VIN to see which (if any) warranty extensions...

    Auto Start/Stop error

    Not sure what you were expecting when you joined the forum, but as with any car/truck forum it's full of threads about issues/problems people are having with their trucks. It's good to have knowledge about common things people are having issues with. Gives you a kind of list of things to look...

    Installed Rough Country Caliper Covers

    Based on the minimum clearance between the rim and calipers I'd say there's little chance they'll work with your rims. Even with stock Rebel 18's I can't seem them fitting. Only way to know for sure though is to try them.

    What would you prefer?

    Stop taking the bait guys. He's pushing some kind of an agenda with this thread.

    What would you prefer?

    This question seems to be designed to convince people to get on board with the new platform. I'm unsure of your motivation but I'll give you props for your determination since you're posting it in multiple Ram truck forums. That wasn't your original question. This later version implies that...
