Stellantis is trying their best on this point!

Good point. Personally, I'm talking about the SRW truck in my avatar.

No, I never did figure this out and I still need to touch up my wheels. I have a feeling that it's "Low Gloss Black" though. I'll order some and post back here with the results.

Does anyone happen to know the paint code for the black Night Edition Ram HD wheels? I imagine it has to be one of these colors but I'm completely unsure which. The paint looks like it has a satin finish with just a teeny bit of metal flake in it but I'm not sure Satin Carbon or Semi Gloss...

The first picture below is what it looked like after first pulling out the dipstick. I wiped it off, reinserted and removed the dipstick again, and that resulted in the second picture. Since there isn't any oil at all on the dipstick for about the last 1/3 to 1/4 of the SAFE range, I figured...

I was really surprised to see this when I checked my oil this morning. I think I'm at around 7500 miles since my last oil change. If I do a lot of unloaded in-town driving my truck will naturally regen early, but I took it for an ~90 mile drive the other night (ambient temps were in the...

They'll have it solved just about the time everyone's emissions warranty expires.

Whew. So glad my '22 has the current styling vs. that abomination. Even the grilles on the non-Rebel models are awful.

Interesting (and typical) postscript - I went to pick the truck up this evening and immediately noticed that they scuffed the top of my interior door trim in four places and also scratched through my window tint. This means that the truck will now have to go back to the dealer for the sixth...

I took my truck to the dealer this morning and the service writer immediately heard my truck typing at 1500+ RPM while unloaded. I also demonstrated how the truck doesn't type when the engine is loaded. Their tech also looked at the truck this afternoon and heard the noise as well; according...

I have an appointment on 9/11 to take my truck back to a different dealer for the dreaded erratic typewriter noise that's been widely described here. In my truck's case, I can hear typing clear as day when I put the truck in Park and rev the engine to 1500+ RPM. However, today I noticed that...

It strikes me as odd that I don't hear a thing at idle and it takes revving the engine to get the noise to really rear its head. Anyway, the truck's still sitting at the dealer and hasn't been looked at yet. Hopefully (probably?) tomorrow before noon?

I took the truck to the dealer this afternoon but couldn't even get a service writer to walk out to take a quick listen. Regardless, I'm supposed to have a diagnosis by mid-day tomorrow, so we'll see. Since I wasn't expecting to leave the truck at the dealer (it was a quicker visit than I...

Your issue "sounds" exactly like mine. Same year, just about the same miles too. I'll get audio/video posted tomorrow.

Under load under certain conditions I've always been able to hear a very slight rattle from inside the cab, but it honestly sounded like something deep in the dash was resonating at a certain speed/RPM/load. If the radio was on you'd never notice it. Anyway, this evening I had the door...
