tdmopar - I just finished reading the Amsoil site and they are claiming a 3-5% increase in fuel mileage and sometimes up to 8-10%. I have a hard time believing that - did you notice any mpg increase when switching to Amsoil?

hmm... i might have gotton slightly better gas mileage but you gotta remember 3-5 percent is only gonna be a difference of about .3 miles to the gallon... still something but it runs all smooth and nice and you know you are treating it right... just my .02

Welcome to the Dodge Ram Family! I just purchased a 2006 Ram ST Quad Cab and love it. Drove a chevy before....

Lots of wonderful people here on the forum and lots of knowledge to scroll thru.

ENJOY

All the megacabs are like that. The megacab is built on the 2500 QC longbed frame and they just kept HD parts and badged it a 1500. The '06's are the same.
