    Engine Block Heater = 450 Watts

    Just an FYI for people out there. my 2021 EcoDiesel has the Mopar Cabled hooked up to it (part number - 68357826AA) that I did myself. Mine came with the heater but not the cord and the official Mopar part is a much tighter fit with built in connectors that I liked much more than the stuff I was...

    Anyone check to see what their new truck was worth...just out of curiosity?

    Dealer Estimated Maintenance Costs for EcoDiesel

    I called my dealer to schedule my 10,000 mile service noting that I performed my oil & oil filter myself and would just need my tires rotated in addition to the multipoint inspection. I like to have dealers look my vehicles over primarily to stay ahead of any warranty issues so an hour of...

    My Experience with ValuGuard on a 2021 Limited

    On our daily drivers, we were doing the oil based under spray every 2 years for about $150. This spray would keep a lot of corrosion at bay but, the more you drove, the more of it would come off. I started looking into other treatments and there were three I was considering...

    Pricing & Planning a Winter / Summer Tire & Wheel Set for Fuel Efficiency

    Only apprehension about buying a 2021 today is Uconnect 5 in September

    I’m ready to order a truck that would come in late-July. I have no issues with the Uconnect today but that’s 10 minutes of me playing around with it at a dealership. It’s fast enough, functional enough, etc (this would be a 12” screen). I Did watch a few Uconnect 5 Pacifica videos and it looks...

    TRX Reviewer gets Royally Stuck - Concierge Tow truck gets stuck tryin to get to him

    *Edit, I'm not hating on the TRX, it's just funny when people who are not off-roaders / 4x4 guys get this thing and decide to go off roading for the first time. No change of clothes, food, no 2nd person / vehicle, no backup plan for connectivity, etc. Entertaining ready, glad he made it out...

    No 6’4” Eco Diesel in limited trim?

    I am trying to order a 1500 Limited 6’4” bed but add on the eco diesel and it seems that isn’t possible according to my dealer. Would a Laramie Limited be able to get it? The Diesel and 6’4” box are my requirements but I don’t want to go too far down the trim levels.
