It’ll “run” on most anything, as they have to design it to do so. People put all kinds of gas into these engines without thought. However, the HO should get 91+. It’ll pull a lot of timing and have lower fuel economy on 87. Even the SO doesn’t like 87 much. It likes 89+.

Slight surging on my SO under light acceleration. 3.55 rear end. Also noticed some jerkiness in low speed stop-and-go traffic compared to previous hemi trucks. Both could be related to programming for the torque converter. I originally thought it was turbo wastegate flutter, but now I’m...

Good old electrical gremlins. Factory reset on the screen, check all the ground wires, and hope your have a good trustworthy dealership service department.

On the 3.6 Pentastar? Turbo/Supercharger kit is the only thing that’s gonna really be noticeable (and it’s definitely noticeable). I wouldn’t do it though. I’d swap out to a hemi or SO SST before putting forced induction on a 2025 3.6.

I use 89 too. Truck definitely prefers it; much better fuel economy and performance compared to 87. It did not affect the low-throttle acceleration stutter though. I’m pretty sure it’s an ECU thing, where Ram just needs to fix it with a software update. It doesn’t feel like anything dangerous...

Bronze. The white/black stormtrooper combo is overdone IMO. That bronze looks great.

First time I’ve seen that. Looks like a constant rubbing of a passenger’s foot that has their leg crossed over. Or, maybe there’s direction focused sunlight on that spot if you park in the exact same spot every day. My last idea is a manufacturing defect where the external layer didn’t apply...

Same on my 2025 big horn SO. Feels more like the turbo wastegate barely opening and closing back quickly, which I’ve felt on turbo engines before. No codes on mine. I may pull the plugs at some point just to make sure they’re not fouled, but I think it’s wastegate-related. No big deal for me...

Sounds more like an electronic issue to me too. Sensors, wire harness, or computer issue. I doubt the cats are actually bad.

No, but my 25 doesn’t get as warm as my 19 did. I have noticed that both trucks don’t heat at full power the entire time though. Once they get “hot”, they seem to change to “warm”. They don’t stay as hot as they get during the first few minutes. This seems to be by design. The heated seats...

As long as you’re within your payload and tow capacities, you should be fine insurance-wise on the truck. As stated above, make sure you have the proper towing equipment and weight distribution hitch. Proper towing equipment and setup is critical to safe towing with 1500’s at their weight limits.

The exhaust tick is normal on the hemi. Most every 5.7 has this issue at some point, especially by 100k. Some of the manifold bolts to break over time, and the manifolds themselves may crack too. If you don’t notice it, then don’t worry about it. Once they heat up, they seal up again and you’re...

Agreed on the gearing. I loved it when I saw that the SO came with the 3.55’s. It’s the best balance with the 8 speed. HO should have that by default too IMO. I’d only want the 3.92 if I was planning to put 35” or larger tires on the truck.

I had an ARE CX Revo on my 2019 Ram 1500. Worked really well and looked factory. Very sleek.

I’ll test out saving higher volumes to see if they load on startup. I’ve always tried lower volumes.

I’ve now found that the lowered volume levels do seem to be saved with the profile, but do not load properly on startup (revert to 15). After startup, if I then power-cycle the radio while the truck is running (hold volume button for 10-15 sec), the radio restarts and loads the saved volume...

The slight lift and level plus off-road tires increase drag quite a bit. Add the 3.92 ratio, and you’ve dropped highway mpg a lot. The extra weight hurts mpg around town too. Every rebel has been like that pretty much, whether Hemi or SSO.

Yeah that’s normal, especially in the cold. Once the tray wears in more it’ll be easier to slide.

Apple CarPlay stopped functioning once today. It usually happens at least once or twice a week. Quick fix if this happens; hold the power and select buttons (two main buttons in the scroll wheels) for around 10 seconds u til the head unit restarts. It should work after that. You can do this...

I think I may have the update their talking about, as I have the “apps” icon at the top now. The weird behaviors still exist though. I know when it loses my language and horn settings because when I get in and start backing out, the backup camera screen warning is in Italian. And I also agree...
