    Towing Question

    If I have just an '18 Bowrider that's roughly 3,200 pounds with the engine and equipment, and then a single or dual axle trailer, and then like 500 pounds of my own crap physically in the truck's interior or bed...then isn't a 5.7 equipped LTD with the 3.21 rear end and '22 inch wheels like...

    GM 5.3 litre...

    So a buddy of mine bought a new Silverado with GMs 5.3 litre and get this, after 25,000 miles, the injectors are effed up. Is that even right? How can a brand new engine have deposits on the injectors? I owned a diesel Jetta in '02 that soared into the 300k's and I didn't even service the...

    Lifter Fail vintages

    Does the Lifter Fail issue only apply Gen 4 and early? Heard Ram axed the failed lifter supplier and went with a new shop. Any truth there? More importantly, any Gen 5s with failing lifters? I could be wrong but you don't actually hear that much in Gen 5. Intake studs yeah but not the lifters?

    Pedal position

    This might be a dumb question but is the accelerator pedal on the Gen 5 1500s too close to the transmission tunnel? Reason why I ask is I have sometimes experienced knee pain when driving vehicles with a weird pedal placement in the foot well. My current A4 despite being much smaller than a 1500...

    Best Oil for Hemi "Tick"

    Is there a generally regarded "best" oil for the 5.7 engines? I know for Audi you should run (not walk) from what the dealer's use and only ever use Motul 8100, amazing oil that's also cheaper than the more well marketed brands. Anyways, any pro star hemi heads out there that swear by a...

    Body Colored Bumper

    What's the consensus on the body colored bumper? I like it but I will admit to liking the full chrome look on the LTDs and LHorns. It's sharp and seems to suit the truck. The only way I would eat the cost of the body color bumper is with a white one. I would skip on the tricoat ivory white and...

    A/S

    Is this air suspension system a soft cushy ride or a hard firm ride? Roads in my area suck...massive pot holes, lotta expansion joints, train tracks...cracks. I feel like the a/s would be smoother in this environment but now I'm not sure. I read one reviewer who said it was "crashy" compared to...

    Hemi "tick"

    Does Hemi "tick" go away by using a heavier weight oil, a higher quality synthetic oil or buy using premium fuel only? Would premium fuel use be more related to the exhaust manifold bolt issue? If so I do not follow at all. Bolts are bolts, cheap ones rust out regardless of fuel, no???

    Gen 5 A/S Holding up...

    Any '19 or '20 Ontario or Northern USA LTD owners still feeling good about their air suspensions? Supposedly they were upgraded in Gen 5 to handle cold weather better. Any truth to that?

    Audi Forum

    I was just on an Audi forum dealing with yet another squeak on my A4. I really love Audis, they ARE great cars. But man do I want a Ram. Trucks just seem so big, so spacious, so "move over or I'll run you over". ARGH...

    PW vs LTD

    I want a Power Wagon. I just cannot stop thinking about owning one. It's just not the right truck for a city guy. LTD is in many ways a superior truck: better interior, better ride quality, I honestly think the 5.7 is a killer motor, a/s means I can lift it to hit light off roading and it can...

    LTD vs Power Wagon

    I really want a Power Wagon but I don't think it's going to happen. Many of the apartment buildings in my area are actually smaller than that thing and the fuel economy sort of concerns me. Now I'm obviously not an idiot and so comparing one of those behemoths to my A4 would not be a relevant...

    Air Suspension Fix?

    I saw some video, sorry cannot recall the source, where the dude pops off the passenger's side rear tail light assembly...unplugs a tube...squirts in a few drops of some air brake line de icer...and then claims that this is THE fix for a/s issues in cold weather climates. The thing I obviously...

    Build Quality

    Stellantis builds these in Mexico right? I would assume quality is much better than the stuff built locally? Yes/Np? Any Gen 4 to Gen 5 owners with miles?

    Rear axle ratio question

    So I saw one guy on YouTube who has a Laramie Ltd with the 3.21 axle ratio and he mentioned that he was able to tow 9,000 pounds no problem. There is no way I would ever be towing more than 9,000 pounds. My '18 boat weights 3,000 pounds, the tandem axle trailer that carries it probably weights...
