Ram 1/2 ton trucks? How bad do they suck?

[fast99]

I have a 2019 Ram Rebel 1500 4x4 Crew Cab. 1st year of new body style. The Crew cab is huge inside and the interior is top notch. Just rolled 50k miles. Have a exhaust manifold leak which the hemi is notorious for. Parts on back order. Other than that have had 0 problems. I would prefer the twin turbo v6 thats coming for more power and better fuel economy. I average 13.5mpg with the 5.7.

I have repaired those leaks on customer vehicles many times. Really all they need are new studs and gaskets. Manifold can be resurfaced if warped. Broken studs are fairly easy to drill out just need to be very careful and start in the center. Usually only 1 or 2 are broken.

I haven’t even done brakes, so I guess I’m good!

tough to wear those out while it's sitting the lot at the shop

Seems like it’s done a lot of sitting for 80k miles in a little over 4 years

I use to be a chevy guy. I can't stand the new silverado body style and interiors. Every newer chevy I've owned the interior rattles like a motorcycle. My ram is more comfortable, no rattles, nicer interior, gets more bitches, and rides great

Pics of bitches please.

Just rented a Chevrolet Silverado with the 2.7 4-cylinder with the turbo. It worked ok, but I wouldn't want to tow anything with it. I only averaged 17mpg as well. No way in hell would I ever buy one. Diesel, 5.3 or 6.2 only. Otherwise, I do like the chevy.

Fyi ram has no exhaust manifolds in stocks. 45 day wait......

This is a better option than the factory stuff... I am out of warranty and if my manifolds leak again this is the route I will take. I have a 2017 so these manifolds will work. Not sure if they have a 2019+ for the new body style trucks or not. The 2009-2022 is only for 2019-2022 "Classic" style trucks like mine.

Upgrade with BD Diesel's Exhaust Manifold Kit for Dodge/RAM 5.7L HEMI. Unsurpassed efficiency and durability!

My cost is $425 for the whole kit which is a little more than MOPAR but it's probably a much better part.

Aloha

Saw these get mentioned on Facebook this morning the the BD ad.

These are the SRT 6.4 manifolds. Supposedly the fit the 5.7 as well. Might be worth some research.

The indi repair shop I deal with checked into this repair for a new body 2019+ 5.7 model. They quoted around $1500 to replace both manifolds. They said Dodge offers an updated repair kit that is supposed to prevent further issues, it's on national backorder until end of June, we are fourth on the backorder list. Both manifolds were replaced under warranty a few years ago and now we are well outside of the trucks warranty and the 90 day repair warranty.

Shit Ram owners just lost 35% of their diesel trucks value
