Bear in mind that various options can and will change from time to time, mostly depending upon availability. Check the Ram "Build" web page and verify with the dealership prior to ordering whichever you choose. You may find a number of suitable trucks on the dealership lots; I bought my previous...

Something worth consideration... feet don't matter but pounds do. This is never mentioned on Faecesbook, which is mostly just folks tepeating what they see elsewhere on FB and voting as such. Consider the tongue/pin weight of the trailer to be towed and go from there. Also, you get what you...

I have not noticed any coolant odor...maybe just wasn't looking to notice it, but will check more closely.

Added ~12-oz of anti-freeze... first time ever in more than five years. Was getting the Low Coolant message when cold, checked the reservoir tank and found it was indeed slightly low, but found no apparent leaks. Had to order some the Mopar (MS90032/Concentrate) AF, mixed (50/50) with distilled...

But hey... at least they finally moved their DEF filler from up near the firewall down to the fuel filler area.

Just for the heck of it, and after becoming aware of other truck companies having problems with transmissions on some of their HD trucks, I looked into what Ford and GM are experiencing... we are not alone. Not that this helps, but I was told that they are blaming aftermarket modifications for...

Save some money and time... just go to Taco Hell and blast off a short time afterward. ;) I also wonder if all the brands will eventually push the (no charge) updates and "fixes" via wireless means... probably not primarily wi-fi, but rather a cell phone connection for those vehicles equipped...

It would, if at all, have to be in the 2024's or later, and that would be if ZF could provide enough transmissions to meet the demand and/or if they could be manufactured to ZF specifications in the US or elsewhere. Availability of parts, facilities, and labor could be a problem, provided such a...

I would like to see the 8AP available in the Ram HD trucks, but one article I read recently stated that transmission is rated for a maximum torque of 1000 lbs-ft. The Cummins 6.7L HO puts out a bit more than that, so the most recently discussed 8AP would likely not handle that very well. Mate it...
