Ram owners (previous, present) discussion

To clarify, I think he's talking about the 5.7 Tundras, not the 5.7 Hemis. Not even sure there is a SC for the 5.7 Hemi?

 

Correct. I assumed that. Thanks.

 

I'd stick to the ford unit that is warrantied if I did a SC. I have to have this thing as reliable as possible. It's my only set of wheels.

I had no idea on the firing order. I knew there were differences, and I assume that's only one of them, so I have no illusions about making it sound like a Mustang. I don't need it to be super loud or anything, but I might upgrade the exhaust some day. If @dirtydeeds offered something on the F150 with the Coyote I would probably HAVE to get it. Loved what the DD muffler did for the sound of the Tundra. I drool to think about something similar on 5.0.


Guns are cool too, and they need ammo! You don't suck. The prices of your interests suck.

 

If you sell all that you could get back into a Tundra, no?

 

Ah. I knew there was for the 6.4, but wasn't sure on the smaller one.

 

Interesting.

 

I assume you're pretty good at backing your trailers around, right? You could easily get your class A with your truck and trailer. You'd just have restrictions that made it invalid for anything that wasn't like your truck (no air brakes or manuals for you at that weight), but it'd be easy enough.

 

Ah. I don't drink so no worry for me there, but I also would not drive if I had a drink. Even just one, but that's a personally imposed rule. In wyoming it's also 0.04 for CDL (half the regular limit).

 

Yeah, and that's when it'd bite you since it applies no matter what you are driving. It's just an automatic higher standard you are held to.

 

Yeah, plus we know how you drive it.

 

Until I hit the 4th bullet point I thought I was reading the list for 3rd gen tundras.

 

She knows it would be a bad (but fun) financial decision, so she's over it. Her Wrangler only has 22k miles. So still pretty damn new. The PW had a little over 18k miles. And she'd have to park that damn thing.
She loves her Wrangler. She just loves big mud terrains. ( she has 35's and thinks they are too little). I've never met girl with a tire fetish before her!

 

Well, everyone has to have a hobby outside of trucks







What a silly idea

J/K. It is good to have other hobbies that you can do. I love a good firearm and ammo, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, scuba diving, vehicles, technology security and privacy, and the list goes on. So, it is good to expand the interests.

 

This is where I am. There are a lot of fun things, but right now, dependability is key. Maybe in the future. But I would love to see @dirtydeeds have something for the Ram. But even then, it would be a while before I could purchase it.

 

I was wondering how that would work out. So having DOT regs on your truck, whether you pull the flatbed for your own use, still demands a Class A?

I had a Class B, but when I moved, I just went back to my regular license. No reason to keep it, and I don't like the restrictions on the license if I am not even using it.

 

Should clarify, as @GODZILLA said, I don't drink either. That was not why I gave my CDL up.

 

Roush?

My local dealership had a GT 5.0. Manual transmission, etc. If I didn't need a truck, and I was single, I would have driven it off the lot right there. Love the manual in a sports car.

 

I was going to say the same thing!

In seriousness, I do feel sorry for the ones who are having a hard time with the 3rd Gen. Stinks to watch a truck break down.

However, I cannot understand how they can be $75-80K for a truck, OR MORE in some instances! That is too much. I would rather buy land.

 

Don't follow my surprise change advice then, LOL. Don't want you to get into trouble!

 

There’s a few owners on the Ram sight that have changed the oil pump to the TRX pump . It has a higher volume than the 5.7 pump .
