    COMPLETLY DEFEATED AND HUMILIATED BY THE TIME WASTED I cant find the app button to even see what I have

    OP has a 2020 so it’s uconnect4. Uconnect5 wasn’t introduced in 5th gen 1500’s until model year 2022.

    2019 Ram 5.7 - eTorque MGU failed, replaced, failed again a year later

    The 10 year 100k power train warranty will cover any turbo failures. I feel like the smartest thing we did was get rid of the 2021 Limited w/etorque and keep the 2020 Limited no etorque. Sorry to hear about the issues you guys are having with your etorque equipped trucks.

    Do 4th Gen Megacabs have the cutouts in floor for the "in-floor" storage?

    You should be able to look from underneath and see if the sheet metal has cutouts or not.

    Passenger screen swap for glove box

    We have the passenger screen in our ‘24 Grand Cherokee and we’ve found it very useful when traveling. We made three cross country trips last fall and it was great for finding gas stops or accommodations for the night without having to stop. Sure, we could have done the same thing with Google...

    Trade My 21 or not

    That's exactly my point. When etorque works it's fine, but when issues come up which require a new MGU or 48v battery module it's a nightmare for sure. I've owned two 5th gens with etorque. A 2020 for 18 months and a 2021 for 2 years. Never any problems with either truck, but I didn't...

    Ram CEO Claims That 1500 Customers Prefer the HEMI V8 Over the Hurricane I6

    I’m curious to know where you’re hearing this information?

    Ram CEO Claims That 1500 Customers Prefer the HEMI V8 Over the Hurricane I6

    I share that sentiment. I’d love to see that engine in a 1500. I just don’t see it happening.

    Ram CEO Claims That 1500 Customers Prefer the HEMI V8 Over the Hurricane I6

    It’s funny that you only see two possibilities. While it’s true that I enjoy hearing a V8, that’s not the only reason I prefer the Hemi. I’ve driven a Hurricane equipped Laramie. Honestly I wasn’t that impressed. I didn’t really notice much of a power difference. That opinion may change if...

    Trade My 21 or not

    I wouldn’t trade it until you have to, but I’m partial to the non etorque Hemi.

    Hemi, Hurricane, or keep my current Ram

    OP already said he’s used the warranty for about $5000 worth of repairs. But it really doesn’t matter how much he’s used it up until now. This is a lifetime warranty. Vehicles will start having issues as they age. A lifetime warranty isn’t worth having unless you’re keeping the vehicle for a...

    DIY Etorque battery pack replacement

    No, the truck is not driveable when the 48v module fails.

    Snow vs. All-Terrain tires?

    ^^This. Unlike the M+S rating, which has not standard or testing requirements to add to a tire sidewall. The 3PMSF rating does require the tire to go through testing to be able to add that rating. But no all season A/T tire will perform as well in winter conditions as a true dedicated winter...

    Paint Defect?

    Looks like a paint defect to me from your pics. How long have you had the truck? How sure are you that this wasn’t there when you bought it? Where on the truck is this? Is it possible that something struck the sheet metal from the back side? I found a solvent bubble on one of the doors of...

    Weight of oil 0W-20 vs )-30

    Other than potentially voiding your power train warranty I don’t see a problem with it.

    Hemi, Hurricane, or keep my current Ram

    Like I said, if you're happy with your current truck you might just keep it (emphasis on the bold part). If you're tired of your current truck, or just want new technology, then trade up. I didn't imply you have lost anything though. What I meant was regardless of how much you've used the...

    Hemi, Hurricane, or keep my current Ram

    They’re trying to get rid of all the lifetime warranties out there so they’re trying to pay you off. $5k is nothing to scoff at, but now is the time that you can really see returns with that warranty. 87k miles are low miles for a ten year old truck. If you’re happy with your 4th gen I’d keep...

    MDS Question

    MDS doesn’t cause lifter/cam failures. That’s a myth. People disable MDS for various reasons. I disable it because I don’t like how the exhaust sounds when the engine is running on four cylinders. Some people claim they can’t tell when it’s active, but with an aftermarket exhaust it’s very...

    2019 dodge ram going wonky

    Original battery? You might want to load test the battery. Lots of weird things can happen when the battery starts to go out.

    ESS (Electronic Start Stop) Issues

    Now you're just trying to save face by making $hit up. Your original statement was in no way meant to be an "under exaggeration" when taken in context. Even if you did (you didn't) You can't just make up your own definitions. Hyperbole is always an overstatement. Feel free to look it up...
