    Ram Air Suspension Details

    It automatically goes up to normal at 15MPH. In entry it drives fine it's just low. Tires don't rub or anything factory size

    Anyone regret buying the Eco vs. Hemi or Cummins ?

    To be completely honest I never once drove a hemi or Cummins. I thoroughly researched the ecodiesel when it became available found one loaded at a local dealership, drove it about 4 miles. (14m on the odometer. It was brand new) but I didn't want the granite crystal or black leather. Dealer...

    PSA: FCA Changes Oil Specification Requirement for Ram 1500 EcoDiesels

    Contrary to all of this the dealership that fca customer service had contacted in the shared chat has actually been in contact with me, the guy in parts called me again just yesterday and informed me that shortly after our conversation the week prior that they had received an rrt for the 2016...

    Yes that's why I went to Blackstone for a Used oil analysis from the champion oils

    As long as you're not running a mopar filter then that isn't a terrible oil change

    I had sent an inquiry off to blackstone about the Blue Flame oil and I got a little bit of information to share here from a UOA. Hope this helps. @cevans @bobcat67

    Yeah dealer part is bringing up shell t6 because they already stock it. That was when I had parts pull a quart to verify it was not euro. 9.25/qt up here in no man's land. Lmao

    If I can get a free oil change and mopar filter out of this tsb i'll probably let them dump t6 into the truck but otherwise i'll continue with champion though depending how the uoa on this one is I may go to the 5w40. I like the convenience of getting two 2.5gal containers in a case and having...

    Alright guys that's enough. I honestly haven't found any UOI's, TBN's or even a VOI on the champion oil, but I've never run Pennzoil in my life with the exception of whatever concoctions the factory fill is. It's just not my choice. Always preferred Mobil1 in all vehicles. Regardless I tried the...

    Extended Warranty

    The retrax covers are nice but it depends on your climate. Winter they don't function as well if you experience snow and particularly ice they're worthless and your truck needs to be completely thawed out. So heated garagability is a must. But opening your bed with the key fob option is awesome...

    You mean I can't drive 55-63 in 8th gear anymore? Defeats the purpose of the 8 speed transmission for efficiency if the rpm's were too low

    Ok so I don't quite understand for sure; is this a free oil change and flash for all owners? Or are they going to charge us for materials? Also has anyone noticed their BOM for the RAM truck is only 10qts? 2.5gal. Even though oil capacity is stated as 10.5qts and/or 10L

    @bobcat67 I appreciate the help and feedback regarding all this. A little reassurance goes a long ways. It's kind of hard to know that one is making the "right" decision when FCA won't even spit out why they changed requirements let alone if they really did or not.

    So would the Blue flame I'm using be kind of the best of both world's? Especially considering I'm in cold climate and FCA Canada is still calling for 5w30 (I'm 10 miles south of the Border in Mn) So I have a cj4 full synthetic low ash and saps but in a 5-30 weight?

    I've spoken with champion pretty thoroughly about this oil and it was designed and released the oil for the ecodiesel yet it is 5w30 and cj4 but didn't get Ms-11106 ating. Though it's just basically a Blue dyed version of their low ash low saps syngold oil. I'm actually planning to send this...
