    Should have configured the 3.92. Can I upgrade after purchase?

    Thanks for the feedback. It may be a bigger deal than I thought. I did something similar in an old Mustang 20 years ago, and it wasn't too big a deal. I understand the vehicle and drivetrain are a bit different... Hmmm.....

    Should have configured the 3.92. Can I upgrade after purchase?

    When I bought my truck over a year ago. I went with the 3.21 hoping it would give me even a little better mileage, and I also did not anticipate the need to tow more than ~5,000 lbs. I believe my tow rating is 8190 in the current config. Now my family is looking at travel trailers, and we need...

    Falken WildPeak Tire Pressures

    I just checked my sticker for the first time today and was stunned to see 32 for those Falkens. My came at 39-40 from the dealer. I set mine to 35 as a compromise.

    Wheel and Tire Overview

    Anyone know what the stock 20" wheel on a Longhorn weighs? I assume it's close to the weight of the Laramie 20" (35 lbs as stated in this thread), but would like to verify. I like the stock wheel just fine, but I'm looking for some ways to improve my gas mileage, and was wondering if there are...

    Gas mileage v8 without Etorque..... 4wd

    I agree it doesn’t make sense. But that doesn’t make it any less real. I wish your decision to not buy it would improve my mileage.

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    Are you suggesting that my poor mileage is caused by my driving style, or is all in my head? I do use cruise control - a lot. I don’t bury the throttle when accelerating. I dont warm up the truck before entering. I run 89 gas. I drive pretty close to the posted limit. I coast a lot, I don’t...

    Gas mileage v8 without Etorque..... 4wd

    Not good. 14.2 MPG. Not remote starting. 50/50 hiway/city. Lots of coasting. Driving 5 MPH over limit at most. No heavy foot. Gentle acceleration. Trying to see the ECO light as much as possible. Pretty disappointed here.

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    I have about 1600 miles on my Longhorn with ORG, 3.21 and no aftermarket lift or wheels or tires. I have yet to hit 15MPG average, and I absolutely baby the throttle. I have only engaged 4WAuto twice for very short periods of time in heavy storms. I drive about a 50/50 mix of city/highway and...

    FRONT AIR DEFLECTOR - CHROME Part no. 82215475 Self Install

    I only removed, or rather destroyed, 4 of the scrivets. But want to restate that I had the exact same problem with the square holes in the clips not reaching far back enough to get the plastic piece to snap into place. It absolutely required modification.

    FRONT AIR DEFLECTOR - CHROME Part no. 82215475 Self Install

    I installed the chrome Mopar deflector today. It wasn’t fun. Like others here, the 4 large clips needed modification, so that the 4 plastic plugs could better sit in the holes in the underside of the hood. Used a Dremel for this to grind away some of the clip. Overall, it looks good, and the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I installed the SRX last week. And drove with it down for ~2 hour road trip. It does flap around a little, but I could not hear it, and I have not made any tension adjustments so far. I may try adding some tension to see if that impacts the flapping. Install was pretty easy. The truck sat out...

    From Ram Chat this morning. Dealer confirmed it was at a rail yard in TX earlier this week. So, it seems plausible that it has now left that rail yard and is therefore KZ T. The dealer yesterday said no ETA, and Ram Chat said the same today.

    My truck went KZ T today, so second rail departure. It must have left the rail yard in Mesquite, TX. Can't be more than a 3 hour train ride to the Austin area. Hoping it will be delivered next week. But still no official ETA.

    Just got an update from my dealer...still sitting in the rail yard in Texas, still no ETA..."should be here any day, or WEEK" Thanks, that narrowed it down.

    Mine’s getting closer. Dealer said it has made it to a rail yard in Texas. I’m guessing Mesquite. But no ETA For delivery.

    The last few times (this week) that I’ve contacted Ram Chat I’ve been told my truck is KZ, and is actually in transit, not sitting at the factory, but ETA is unknown or TBD. Is this normal?
