    Increase idle

    The 5th gens don't have many issues with lifters. Dodge/Ram already admitted they were using bad lifters and switched to a lifter with larger needle bearings. Also, idling was not the downfall of the lifters. Want slightly higher idle, turn your A/C on and it will get you about 100rpm

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

    Those are software issues with the new canbus architecture they implemented in 25 model year on the Rams. The engine itself has been mostly good. There have been threads already with 26 model here Hemisnjavjng simikar software issues

    Upgrade brakes

    Where did I say OEM was only quality option? I was saying that, unless there was a factory available cross drilled rotor for your vehicle, finding a set of aftermarket cross drilled rotors, that were actually designed to be cross drilled will be futile. And by that I'm not talking about big...

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

    People act like the RAM is the first application this engine has been used in. They've been in production, and on the roads since 2022. Im sure if there were big issues with it, you see article after article about how bad they are. Other than the thermostat issues on the initial model year...

    Upgrade brakes

    Any cross drilled rotor you are buying at a parts store, or from places like RockAuto, for a vehicle that was never offered with cross drilled rotors from the factory are just cheap solid rotors that have holes drilled in then. They are not designed for being cross drilled. Now this obviously...

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

    I would not want the HD RAM version, I'd want the Scat Pack 6.4.

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

    What prevents people from doing their own maintenance or modifying trucks with the Hurricane engines? And the Hemi track record isn't that spectacular.

    Jack to lift the truck?

    FWIW, I have one of the 3-ton low profile jacks from Harbor Freight, and some 6-ton, and 3-ton jack stands from Amazon

    Jack to lift the truck?

    You can easily unload suspension when jacking under the pumpkin. Lift it up high enough, throw jack stands on the frame and lower jack. Suspension will drop. If you jack it high enough, don't even need to remove wheels. Otherwise you can remove the wheels before lowering the jack to get you...

    Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

    Where did I say it was the phones OS? You do realize Uconnect uses an android based OS.

    Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

    Nobody can figure out why an android based OS can't do full screen Android Auto but will do full screen carplay. Someone didn't pay a bill somewhere, or something.

    What should i do to my truck?

    What size fuel tank does it have now? Do you make a lot of long trips, or tow? As for mods you can do, it's all personal preference. Do what you think is good for you. No matter what, you will have some people that like it, some people that absolutely hate it, and a whole bunch of people...

    Snow vs. All-Terrain tires?

    Factory tires probably aren't the best to compare to.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Looks like a heat shield to block heat from the manifolds

    Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

    If that's the reason you switch to iPhone, you have other issues. 😜

    Snow vs. All-Terrain tires?

    A good all season or all terrain will perform good in the winter. Especially with 4-auto selected. I wouldn't personally say dedicated snow tires are needed. You know the benefit they offer, but on a 4wd vehicle with decent all seasons or all terrain tires, there won't be as big of a benefit...

    2026 RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7 recommended oil 0w-20.

    Yes, and the oil was engineered with those specific additives as part of the formula. You start dumping in random cans of crap, that make outrageous claims, because it sounds good. But you have zero idea about how what you dumped in will interact with the additives alreayin the oil. Because...

    4wd serv and wont shift out of 4 low

    Need to get a scan tool on it and see what codes it's throwing. Something seems like it might be fried. Could also let it sit overnight with battery hooked up . Maybe just needs time. But I'd definitely be trying to scan for codes

    Thinking about trading in my challenger- will mods affect value?

    Those parts won't add or subtract from value when using KBB or Edmunds, since they are not factory installed parts. The wheels, if you have factory wheels you'd be better off putting the factory wheels on the car as selling your demon reps separately. That is if you want the most money for...
