Re: Battle of the Brands is Heating Up

That is a bit short-sited, make a decision on some experience well over 50 years ago. If you have yet to look at and drive the fourth and now fifth generations of the RAM, you are cheating yourself.362Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ram trucks from 2015 through the 2017 recall

I'll take the other side of the emissions argument. I think there is satisfaction knowing that the exhaust of my 2015 RAM 3500 Cummins is typically clearer than the air going into it. Knowing what NOX does to the human lungs I'm glad my emission system scrubs the exhaust. The latest diesel emission systems work well and for the most part are now downstream from the engine except for some EGR which is rumored to be eliminated in a near future design. There is no reason to tune a modern diesel with aftermarket solutions. There is no MPG gain just a power gain but come on, with the numbers coming off the showroom floor, what do you really need with more. I'm not a tree hugger but I have grandkids and I don't want them inhaling NOX.594Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dodge Axle Ratio?

The Ram brand was created following Chrysler's acquisition by Italian automaker Fiat S.p.A., and the plans called for Dodge switching to an exclusively car-based lineup with all pickup and future heavy-duty trucks by Chrysler being sold under the Ram brand. This started in the 2009 calendar year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Trucks236Views0likes0CommentsRe: Still can not get any channels on my TV????
There could also be issues with the coax. If possible, run a feed directly from the antenna to the TV and see what happens. I had a similar issue with my basement TV, the wall barrel pass through connector had an F connector improperly installed preventing the coax's center conductor from connecting with the barrel connector.154Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2016 Ram 3500.

I think that truck is way overpriced, even with the 4x4 and low miles. Mine has been a great truck for hauling our 5th wheel trailer. Would not hesitate to buy it, but you need to get them down about $10,000. Wow that was a good price you got. The KBB price for a dealer sale, 2016 3500 Laramie diesel, no extra options, in my zip code is $43.5K to $50.5K. KBB price KBB doesn't buy vehicles. Prices are determined regionally by what they go for at auction, information we don't have access to. I did what has been suggested, I used Dillon as a price point and found a local dealer that was willing to price match.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 2019 RAM 1500 Longhorn Hybrid eTorq Review

New Ram HD's are coming out next year as a 2020 model. The new HD generation launch has been a moving target. He is a post from a dealer I found on the Cummins forum; "So... Corporate was here yesterday. This is what I was told... In January the "reveal" will be a 19 with a "refresh". It will not be a 20 model. There were exactly zero details on the new sheet metal past that. There are other internal communications that say the same thing. A "complete" redesign looks like it's on hold. I am reading between the lines and taking conversations I have had with several people including the national Ram manager. I think the light duty redesign has been met with lackluster enthusiasm and that has caused them to put the brakes on the HD sheet metal. This is purely my speculation. They also said yesterday that ALL the HD production is scheduled to move to Detroit in June next year. I'm left scratching my head at the wisdom of trying to pull off the logistics of that move all at once. That is what I was told but I remain skeptical. With the current ordering and production schedule for the 18s and 19s I think we are going to see inventory issues until at least this time next year. I am still being told there are going to be engine changes. I have no idea what that means. Cummins isn't that far away and I sell a good many to the people there. But they are as tight lipped as a pharmaceutical company doing research on a new drug to cure cancer. I am still digging to find information. In the mean time I am ordering 18s hoping my inventory lasts until May of next year...."459Views0likes0Comments
