    Why should I stay with RAM?

    You could drive a 1955 Chevy and, if you have a cell phone, you're being tracked. About the only way you can avoid being tracked is to drive the old fashioned "gas operated" vehicle and leave all electronics at home! I remember the "good old days" when we didn't seem to think our lives...

    what is the average degrees of cooling dodge ram 1500

    It is a tool which goes in the place of the radiator cap. Applying shop air creates a vacuum in the system to the point of collapsing the hoses. Then another hose is hooked up to the adapter while the system is under vacuum and the other end of the hose goes into a container of coolant (I mix...

    Breaks binding,dash break light on and abs light on.

    Remove the 2 nuts that retain the master cylinder which hold the master cylinder to the power brake booster. Do not disconnect the hydraulic lines. Pull the master cylinder gently towards the front of the vehicle (away from the booster). Shine a flashlight into the cavity of the booster and see...

    Engine surges on start up

    The last new truck I bought was in 2008. Since I buy older, typically high mileage vehicles these days, I see more than my share of "Lazy" oxygen sensors. I have been replacing all 4 of them on the vehicles I've bought over the past 8 or so years. The improvement in driveability and uptick in...

    Your experience is why I use an air-lift method of cooling system refill.

    My pretty bad 2018 RAM 1500 Hemi experience, help/advice needed on what to do next

    I'm not here to practice law at the Federal level or State level, or to split hairs. I am relating my own thoughts based upon experiencing being in the fray of people's issues with bad cars over the decades being Fords and GM's. I have seen only the one vehicle ACTUALLY bought back; the SUV...

    Those were fun with the V6. I had as 1984 Citation X-11 with the HO V6 and a 4 speed. That was a blast until I got rear-ended by a drunk driver at a highway stoplight.

    I went through the entire Maryland Lemmon Law process. Three hearings and at each one the arbitrator gave GM "1 more chance" to fix the leaking sunroof. The final straw came when the arbitrator asked if I was willing to take the car through a car wash with her in it so she could see the problem...

    A 12 year old truck with original O2 sensors? Replace them and run monitors again. You might be pleasantly surprised!

    My pretty bad 2018 RAM 1500 Hemi experience, help/advice needed on what to do next

    There are Federal lemon laws and state ones. I did quote from what a GM Exec told me when I inquired about what was going to happen to the expensive SUV with the cracked frame weld. And that was years ago. Whether he told me what he did based upon GM's own guidelines, Federal ones, or Texas...

    There is always someone who points out an exception. I didn't write the rules. I merely reflect what I've been told and have observed through the years. YMMV. It MIGHT be possible that your Fiero didn't actually meet Lemon law criteria. You don't mention the details germane to it being bought...
