What did you do to your Ram today???

[Black19]

Good choice, but get the H8 AGM. It's like $170 and still has a 4-year warranty

I looked at the Everstart as well as the Diehard. I was leaning toward Diehard. I’m on year 5 with the OEM.

I'd just go with the everstart H8. Almost $100 cheaper and has a 4-year warranty

Put Weathertech rain guards on all 4 windows.

In the absence of a travel trailer, this not that terrible.

I guess so, I am just such a minimalist when I camp that when I pack for the family, I am just shocked on how much stuff they need.....

Drove her a lot over the last 3 days. Last minute work stuff required me to drive 2150 miles (32 hours) 3 days later from home NW FL to Montana.. detoured and checked off a bucket list item since I was pretty close already and probably won’t be out this way again. Overdo for an oil change ill do here when I get a chance. Stopped at Harbor Freight and grabbed a clamp to do a temporary ac hack without checking the temp seemed to do its job just fine on the trip.

This! Walmarts available almost everywhere if you have an issue.

Surprise surprise.
Completely Dead battery. Zero. Nada. Average life span. 1 year and 7 months each time. This will be my 3 rd battery. First one was cover under warranty

Still on original battery 5+years.

im considering doing that as a preventative thing...
or keep an AGM in the truck in case something happens in the next 2 months while im in the middle of nowhere lol

thats not a bad idea. it sort of seems from what I have seen in this forum that if your battery goes pass the 2 years mark you got a good one and will go a long way but you are getting in the dangerous zone from my experience and the 2 times that mine went out there was zero warning. Just woke up to a dead battery

I was hoping to get more time out of my OEM but with this last heatwave of 115 for several days has just put too much load on the battery. But with 4 years of service, I am content

yeah even though i carry a jumpstarter with me in the truck i think having a backup would be ideal especially on The Dalton or Dempster.

Gave it something to park next to. 2023 E450 4Matic Coupe. Wanted a 2024 but 2023 was the last year for the two door E class hardtop. Not the manliest color combo, with a borderline purple exterior and white interior, but it's my wife's car.... at least that's what I tell people.

To tip the scale it has a 3.0L I6 turbo with 362 hp and makes a great sound. What it doesn't have is a B pillar, which pretty much sealed the deal

On my bucket list too. Not much room between Roosevelt and Lincoln, looks like Trump will need to go on one of the sides.

On the back side?

Traded it. The leaking back window and mildewed carpeting with a 3 month back order was the last straw. After going to a bunch of dealers and looking at all kinds of truck options, I concluded that prices were too high for me to justify another truck from any manufacturer. I ended up with a very good deal at a Dodge dealer who let me out of my RAM lease a few months early with even a little capital and drove away with a 2023 Granite Crystal Pearl Challenger GT AWD. I'll miss the Hemi, but as a daily driver the AWD makes more sense western PA. Price wise, I couldn't beat it as the incentives on the last calls were very good. I'm paying less per month to finance vs. what I was on my 2021 RAM lease. Extra bonus, it fits in my garage and the missus absolutely loves it.



Thanks everyone for being so helpful on this forum, it really is the best auto/truck forum I've ever been on. Everyone is so helpful, knowledgeable, and fun here! Though I'll never own another RAM, at least I'm still part of the Mopar family.

found it a little odd - no h8 in stock in my closest 3 locations - could have waited 2 days for it but just took the only h7 AGM on the floor on the location I went to
I can also report that the hulkman 6.5 portable jumper works great,
I didn't loose any of my settings or presets and I am back on the road

For those who haven't got it yet now is a good time to get yourself one of these jumper.

Just for mechanic-ing. I used a small battery charger to save my settings when I was swapping batteries. Don’t need hardly any amps for memories.
