Higher trim trucks have LEDs for turn signals and such I think.

Looks good in white!

Anyone know why the Ram has two different Styles of headlight? I thought at first one was HID only, but that style also has halogen bulbs if you look at the ramtrucks site.

One style is like the one in this thread, but the other has a short and wide turn signal/ parking light.

 

You need to move up to sport or higher trim to get hid and led turn signals and break lights. All other trucks get regular lamps. I don't mind the regular lights. Still look very good. Also it's an option on SLT to get dual exhaust. I wish the outdoorsman had the option but I understand why it doesn't have dual exhaust.

Congrats on the new truck! I have been considering jumping ship over to the Ram as well, really like the Black Express they have out right now.

The black ram express package has the sport headlights and led tail lights.

Good looking truck man.

How smooth is that 8 speed transmission? Does it seem to shift a lot?

 

Ya it shifts but it's butter smooth! Next thing you know, you're at 100kmh lol. It is a fantastic transmission. One of the features I live about the truck. The power train is great.

Power is always on tap at any speed with that zf 8 speed. If the 6.2l had the zf 8 speed. Dear Lord the power lol.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.
