    RAM Customer Care Nightmare

    Ashman, a girl's husband who works for me did the same thing as you, but only it was a Leer cap for his Dodge. Leer dealer would not help on a production defect so he got ahold of the head honcho at Leer and the guy called the dealer and reamed them a new one.. Dealer was not happy but within...

    Birds Keep Sh!tting on My Side Mirrors

    Yeah, I used bags to cover my mirrors. Then the bird switched to seeing itself in the brass kickplate we had on the bottom of our front door. I heard it early one morning pecking quite a bit, so I loaded some birdshot in my .22 and snuck out the side door. I went up to the corner of the porch...

    Dreaded tailgate meets trailer jack

    When my 2005 tailgate got dented I used Dundee Automotive for a new one. http://www.pickuptrucksalvage.com/ Of course, shipping to Canada might be expensive..

    Gas additive for diesel engine

    My 2005 Cummins mainly sits in the garage all winter and I use either Seafoam or Marvel Mystery Oil to stabilize. If I happen to be on the road and it's really cold (below 25 degrees) I'll get some Howells at a truck stop and add a bit every tank.

    Why 22" Wheels?

    I have 18"on my 2016 and I think those are too big, may go to 17". Tires cost more also. And whoever thought it would be a good idea to have the TPMS set at 80 lbs in the rears? At that pressure running empty my spine would be permanently dislocated.

    4x4 or 2wd limited slip

    I rent travel trailer spaces on a very slight grade in our semi lot to local individuals. One renter has a 2wd GMC 2500. He had to special order it because all the dealers around here only had 4x4s. He is a tightwad and wanted to 'save money', has road tires all around also. I've had to come to...

    Rip off

    All the more reason never to use a stealership for anything.

    Sway and Level on Enclosed Trailer

    Yep, too much weight in back. Level it and load SXS more towards the front. Rear-heavy box trailers will always sway otherwise.

    Is new truck advisable?

    Ken, I am in the same dilemma. My truck in my sig just turned over 170K, still on original injectors and clutch. I'm the original owner. Absolutely no rust except for a bit of bubbling just starting over one bed wheelwell. It sits inside all winter so hardly has seen salt. I get compliments on...

    Gun Rack?

    I like those canvas ones that hang off the back of the front seat. I'm old enough to remember those plastic gun racks that fit in the rubber molding of the rear windows. There were guys riding to high school with a 12 gauge or a .22 hanging in them....You'd be hauled off to jail nowadays!

    Dash cam suggestions

    I have a ROAV unit with the mini SD card. Only use it when I am in the truck for business making deliveries and long runs. It's amazing the close calls I've had with stupid city drivers. You have to be on alert constantly.

    Dealer Service Dept States Unleaded Gas Found In Fuel Tank

    I would say it's error by the OP also. I made the mistake of grabbing the green handle once and pumped at least 15 gallons of gas in my 1/4 tank of diesel. Once I realized, it was too late. Luckily I was only 1/4 mile from my house so drove home and drained what I could from the tank, refilled...
