    Freaking Leather Dash Problems

    2019 limited over here, same issue beginning to happen on the edges of the dash near the window, as well as as slight bubble above the gauge cluster. Will bring up to my dealer during my next visit. unfortunate leather quality. makes sense on a 15 year old ferrari, but a new truck...

    Oil Preference?

    as per oil reaching the top of the motor, our gen hemi engine has the beefier oil pump by 25%. perhaps thats enough but who knows

    Oil Preference?

    I too am under warranty, should I have any engine failures, my euro mechanic creates oil change invoices for me lol. however given my regimen I dont see that happening. if anything, we learn that 5w20 is perfectly fine, anything heavier is 100% personal preference/ availability.

    2022 5.7 (no etorque) -- 0w-20 vs 5w-30

    https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/oil-preference.4350/post-681287 I agree we shouldnt make claims based on conjecture. Reference my post above, the 5.7 hemi crankshaft main bearing clearances barely suit 5w20. it is the lowest weight oil that is still acceptable. Couple the fact that the...

    Oil Preference?

    I firmly believe that oil weight should compliment bearing clearances. I sourced the specs for the latest gen hemi engine, main bearing tolerances are 0.023 - 0.051 mm . This link provides a comprehensive guide to appropriate viscosity per in relations to tolerances. please reference iron block...

    Oil Preference?

    BMW spec'd 5w-30 and 10w-60 for the same VANOS systems. ram does the same with 5w-20 and 0w-40. VVT has worked better with slightly higher weight oil in every vehicle I have ever owned.

    Oil Preference?

    I thought this was household knowledge to ram owners.... hes a nice guy used to be a tech before becoming service manager so idk man. other forum posts have confirmed as well

    Oil Preference?

    No, I dont believe I am saying that at all. For example, My wifes porsche Macan 2.0 uses the VW ea888 engine. It started life with a 5w40 (porsche a40) oil weight recommendation and is now recommended to use 0w20 (porsche c20). it is literally the exact same motor, internals everything the same...

    Oil Preference?

    To everyone who trust that FCA has our engines longevity in mind, please be reminded we are in 2022 and factory fill is still conventional pennzoil. olive oil is better than dino pennzoil.

    Oil Preference?

    I am simply using my past experience and knowledge with amg/porsche and applying it to our simple, humble ram. its not that crazy

    2022 5.7 (no etorque) -- 0w-20 vs 5w-30

    BTW im in ontario canada, up north the truck sees -30c in winter. runs audibly better than 5w20.

    2022 5.7 (no etorque) -- 0w-20 vs 5w-30

    19' limited hemi 5.7 owner here....Dont be startled but I run the same 5w40 euro spec that my AMG uses + a bottle of ceratec (moly additive). MDS works better due to higher pressure (variable oil pump will always ensure proper flow). I have no idea why american vehicle forums are all about lower...

    Oil Preference?

    ram 19' limited 5.7 here...I use the same EURO SPEC 5W40 that my AMG uses with a 300ml bottle of ceratec (moly). I have no check engine light, MDS runs fine, and no tick of any sort. Engine oil temps are on avg 10 deg Celsius lower. I used to get avg oil temps of 105-115c now it never goes above...

    2021 RAM LIMITED STEERING WHEEL INSTALL

    the limited wheel can be purchased seperately from all the buttons and surrounding trim for $370 cad. thats why the price is so cheap, does not include anything, not buttons front or rear, no airbag, no rear trim,etc..

    Steering Wheel DIscoloration

    From what my service advisor said, it’s piece that can be purchased separate from the outer rim (just waiting on FCA approval) I’ve ordered the oem new wheel to swap my existing wheel trim on. The reason I want that trim piece warrantied is so I can install it on my new wheel….costs the same as...
