Contrary to your observations I put an aggressive m/t Tire about an inch and a half larger diameter from factory and I wish I had the 3.92, I think the truck would be a lot happier. It is nearly never in 8th, almost impossible to hold at normal speeds before the switch, and the rolling...
It's a low tolerance high efficiency engine with 10,000 mile oil change intervals with a 2.5gal oil capacity, this all comes from the synthetic oil, no Dino oil here. Consider this is a euro engine and high capacities with quality synthetics are the standard practice.
Barney I would suggest doing stand still regeneration's for you if you don't have the time to jump onto the highway, hold at 1800 or greater rpm's while parked and the truck will actively regenerate. It takes about 10 minutes but it beats going for a 30 min unnecessary drive. Anyways once it...
Not sure about the Warranty, it's under factory Warranty still. I have a 2015 I've put 41,xxxmiles on it and it has only required general maintenance, tires, oil, oil and fuel Filters, differential fluids, lots of fuel and washer fluid. Can't ask much more than that of any vehicle.
I think it ran about $235 but could be mistaken, it has a full morimoto harness for power, custom aluminum resistors with heat sinks for longevity, and a very nice inline capacitor. It's a great system, a bit beyond what retrofit shop offers. I have 8k (35w) bulbs and the upgraded 55w ballast...
It's a pretty tight fit inside the headlight housing I think to do an led high or low lamp you would need to use the ribbon style or you will basically have to run without the entire dust cover on back because of the size hole you would need drilled for the fan and heat sink style. I run a high...
I think that the biggest flaw to at home major maintenance or Repair to this truck is the Turbo being under the firewall requiring the cab to be removed. If it's unrelated to the Turbo? I think the average Joe has a fair chance aside from the lack of documentation. But once the Turbo or intake...
I'd be on the fence between letting them buy it back if it compensates me enough factoring in two years of depreciation I paid. Otherwise i'll figure it'll drop our MPG to about 24 highway for their "fix" which then we get advertised MPG reimbursement like they had to do for false advertised...
Yes there was a tsb issued for the trucks for intercooler icing up without a winter front. So every ram truck that came with a factory installed block heater CABLE is eligible and/or received a mopar winter front free of charge. Those trucks without a factory installed block heater CABLE are not...
On a safety note you need something more than 1000# ratchet straps for a full size truck on a trailer, and I'd stay with weight distribution, back the vehicle onto the trailer persay or even rolling back onto the dovetail some
Or run a harness system that specifically includes a capacitor. I had an in line capacitor go bad and my seamless HID system began to flicker. A small inline capacitor and using a relay harness is the trick for the trucks.
Did you do just a bulb upgrade or a new housing? A little unclear, I upgraded bulbs with something similar to their type B hid low beam system with fantastic results
Yeah I do not see the 2019 being the big revamp that it was supposed to be but likely a facelift, like you said grim, there will be more to come in the future.
I saw some stuff out there that kinda looked like a possible half ton Mega cab, they also have a rear door redesign and are possibly integrating the fold flat rear seats.
Also heavier axles as it had 6 bolt opposed to our now 5 on 5.5
That photo above is a photo Shop pinched ram of our current...
