How I got my Hemi Ram to over 400,000 miles

[@nancythompson2022]

Super proud of this man here . Love you hunny 😘 glad you know how to keep our trucks on the road .

You can floor and play with the 5.7 bro my charger has 500k miles just over my secret is engine oil additives they lubricate and reach areas that oil can't lubricate and use ngk spark plugs lazer iridium ix for oil use valvoline protect and restore and use injector cleaner fluids in your gas tank bro my scatpack has 175k miles the red one on my pic my rt charger has 509k

[@citizendefense1379]

That sounds like wisdom right there! Pay attention to your ride, change your oil/filters, fix what breaks, don't rag on em.. Thanks brother!

[@turkeyssr]

Nice job! Great, real world advice. I told you I would be watchin' ! Keep it up. I hope you get another 400,000.

[@autoguydiy4244]

Thank you sir. I greatly appreciate it

[@michaelhungate7506]

Im very close to 400,000. I'm at 399,675 miles on my 03 F150 5.4. You heard the same wisdoms I did. Keep the fluids full and clean and you're dam right foot light. You have to know you're vehicles so that you can detect problems before they become a bigger issue.

[@autoguydiy4244]

That is awesome that you have almost 400,000 on your truck.

[@flipthescript7133]

Thanks for not making video into a brand fan boy debate war. You kept it real world! I've had a few high mileage vehicles but not above 300k yet!

[@BitcoinPatriot]

Just bought a 2020 Ram 1500 classic w 20k milkes. You're my new go to! Keep up the great work.

[@autoguydiy4244]

Thank you sir

[@theunclenell]

Congrats my guy! It's good to see you showing that if one maintains and operates their HEMI powered vehicle properly, it can last as long as a Toyota. I have a 5.7 HEMI with over 200K miles. It's still running smooth. I fix stuff before it starts to be problem and keep ALL the fluids clean. Looking forward to 500K miles to prove Toyota's aren't the only game in town.

Your maintenance and care for your vehicles is next level. If everyone took good care of their equipment like you insurance costs and extended warranties would be a lot cheaper.

[@autoguydiy4244]

Agreed

[@ProspectorAl]

Thanks for the video! I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with 471,000 miles. Second engine, but lots of original stuff. The first engine got to 338,000 before I changed it (It was still running). Watch out for the rear diff.

[@autoguydiy4244]

It's funny you mentioned the diff seeing as that has been the only thing major I had to replace

[@ProspectorAl]

@@autoguydiy4244 Yea, mine blew up at 391,000. Can't complain too much about that. The design is flawed. The pinion nut backed off and dropped into the ring gears.

[@optimus163]

@@mikealwood3258 Thats abit crazy cause if you use Synthetic then you can go 60-80K easy. If towing definitely use a high quality Synthetic gear oil . Had my rear Diff rebuilt wheel to wheel when I bought my 05 Ram @205K, now approaching 300K running good.

Just got my old man’s truck for 20k the 2016 5.7 litre iv been pushing it a little to much the pull just feels so nice but this coming up on my feed is a sign to stop playing w my dads truck and get a grip I want her to last and I want to do her up nice for my dad to look at and be glad he let me buy his truck iv destroyed most of his hand, me downs all my life this I can’t mess up

[@kensmith174]

Love your video! Thanks for posting, it's excellent advice for anyone who doesn't want to walk to work!

[@theramquest4advanture.]

I have a '97 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 360 V8 auto with 303,500 so far and still going strong with the original engine and trans. I've owned it for a little over 11 years now and I've put 111,000 miles on it myself so far. Yes keeping up with the maintenance is key to keeping you vehicle going for as long as you can make it go. Takes a lot of work and money to keep them going strong for years to come. If you don't take care of them, then they will not last.

[@theramquest4advanture.]

Oh just found your channel so will check out more of your videos and see what you have on here.

Fram.... brave man... I use Wix with Penzol platinum 5w20 every 5k miles and so far my ram has been running flawless. I bought my 2019 ram classic tradesman with the 5.7 used with 1,200 Idle hours. It has been one of the best trucks I have ever owned.

[@WorkingOnRocks]

Fram is liked by a lot of Ram owners and Mopar guys, mostly user error with a filter. They are all the same mostly

[@DalesDeadBug]

Spot on man.. I do the same thing with my vehicles. Years ago I had a bad wheel hub and I felt it the day the bearing was bad. Took it in cause I didn’t have a bearing press, and the guy was like “damn dude, how did you know what it was?” I said, look man I know my car and could feel it not coasting as good today. Saved a lot of money catching early.

I bought my 17 basically new used amsoil and really good filters mopar brand and k&n filter every 7000 miles initially then down to 5000 mile intervals we're still holding steady at 110k and climbing everyday. I'm not skipping out on oil changes. I plan on getting at least 250k out of it.

[@damiandebenedetto6068]

[@MidnightPolaris800]

Watch a video of a fram oil filter cut open. Wix only for me. Also a good tip is dont let hemis idle. They dont like it. I like the tip about paying attention to how your truck drives and sounds. How often do you change your trans fluid and filtrrs?

I never have

[@TylerRowell]

Everyone is saying not to let my ram 6.4 hemi 2500 not cold start idle long, to crank it up even when it's cold and drive off?? That can't be right? How long do I need to let me truck warm up in cold and in summer before i drive off? It's a hemi not a diesel?

[@autoguydiy4244]

I always wait until the idle settles. When you first start it up it runs about 1100 rpm . I wait until it goes under a 900 rpm. Which can take up to 1 min to come down. That start and just go is crazy

Was gonna look at one with $2500 for winter and yes it’s real early for winter but I’m 17 and I wanna keep the car my parents bought me out of the snow so it doesn’t rust and it’s a 2012 impala and it’s starting to rust a little.I wanna keep it as rust free as I can.So anyways all the 2008 ram needs is a bed but I’m kinda iffy on getting it because of the mileage and not knowing the previous owners

[@BuiltDifferent13]

never let it idle. change your oil every 3,000 mi with high quality XL boosted amsoil I repeat, never let it idle. I don't care if you're cold. I don't care if you're hot. they put the camshaft too high on these engines and then they put a little bar in the way that blocks the crankshaft from the splash lubricating the lifters. it's a design flaw. I don't know if it was on accident or on purpose but some can last a long time but most of them end up eating camshafts within 125,000 mi
