In the last two weeks it has started to drive like a truck! A little history is in order here, We bought it in Sept 2015 and flew to Colorado to drive it home, many might remember my post of the great adventure of 1350 miles in 48 hours with two motel receipts. Basically it has been my main ride for almost 5 years, as I hated driving my DW's 2004 Buick Rainier. Something happen to the RAM in the last two weeks, it all of sudden rides like a brick truck, even with the rear tires down to low 40s for psi. I went to Lowes yesterday to get a couple boards and some screws. Coming out of the drive-through lumber area the Sat radio was dead?? What is going on??? Maybe Sirus/XM dropped the truck off the account instead of the Buick? Nope, even channel one the Preview channel was dead. Turn it off and restart, still head.
Is the RAM pissed at me? So when I get home I go to wife's car and Sat radio is working fine, scratch head! Well the motor is all warmed up, so I change the oil and filter(from the top BTW) and have the motor idling while logging the oil change in the owners manual, and I notice the sat radio is working! Hey, a little love helps maybe? Also noticed the the air cleaner was dirty and I was a little past time/miles for a new one and the need to vacuum out all the dead bees in the bottom of the air box. Promised the truck right there in the drivers seat that I would get on the internet and order one. Still scratching my head as to why the ride has gone down so much in just two weeks?
Well I think just maybe I figured it out. See the Rainier was total in a T-Bone on June 20th and on June 22nd we bought a new SUV to replace it, and I really like driving it. I even changed the wallpaper on my smart phone from a Honda NSX dream car to the new SUV. The ST in the grill stands for "Sports Tuned" which includes the suspension(has a pretty firm ride) and what is under the hood. Which is a 2.7L twin turbo V6 with 335 HP and 380 lb ft of torque and 8 speed in a 2020 Edge. Note to RAM, I still love you, even it you are a TRUCK!
