    What do you tow with your Ram 1500?

    My 13' fiberglass camper, about 1500 lbs all loaded up. Plus a small utility trailer for things like mowers and snowblowers that are a pain to get in the bed of the truck.

    Stubby antenna

    I have a 30" two-way antenna mounted in the center of the roof, there's just some places it won't fit. Had to take it off while on vacation this year, getting to our parking spot in the condo required driving through the garage under the whole building to get outside to the parking area. Serious...

    steering play

    Also check the steering shaft for play. The U-joint wears and causes play in the wheel. Have someone turn the wheel back and forth, see if the whole shaft turns, or just the upper section.

    Gauge light colors

    Not to be snotty, but why does everyone go with blue LEDs? Worst color for clarity and night vision, that's why they invented "Blue Blocker" glasses for night driving. I know you can get replacement LED bulbs in any color, but a lot of vehicle accessories that have LEDs "baked in" come with...

    How many Ram's have you owned?

    In order that I owned them: 1971 2WD, 360 with three on the tree, headers, built by my dad to tow our camper, I bought it from him rather than see it go to the junkyard. 1965 2WD, surplus Air Force truck, paid $200 for it, drove it for a couple years as a backup and hauler. 1965 2WD...

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    Yikes! I thought mine sounded bad before I rebuilt it. Definitely needs a rebuild, just a matter of what you'll find ground up in there when you take the cover off. I was lucky enough to get mine done for free under the pinion nut recall.

    Which Octane gas are you using?

    I ran a few tanks of regular when gas was still crazy high, mileage dropped quite a bit (3-4 MPG), went right back up with 89 octane. 89 only runs 10 cents more a gallon here, worth it in my opinion. Not paying for 93, couldn't afford it- I drive 500-600 miles a week now.

    Wheel Bearing

    Got all your money's worth out of those pads!

    Wheel Bearing

    CV joints usually click, not grind or growl, at least until the bitter end. Does it vary the sound on corners? In your case, it should be louder when going around a left turn/curve, as more weight will be on the outer side.

    Whats the sexiest color?

    Red runs best! I'd take Olive Drab if I could get it though.

    Intermittent radio...?

    Maybe a loose or dirty connection somewhere behind the radio? Could be a cold solder joint inside the head, or just the software got corrupted somehow.

    TPMS refresh cycles?

    Each sensor transmits a unique (usually 32-bit) ID, plus the actual pressure reading. The monitor will only read signals from the sensors that are in its memory. I can decode a few types of them now, so I can read the pressure on vehicles going by the shop. Good way to track a vehicle with...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    It ALWAYS comes down to one bolt!

    Dash Speakers

    I've had the one in my 05 out several times, no problems with the clips or the panel, goes right back in every time. I wanted to put a speaker for my 2-way radio in the dash, so the sound from that would be more directed towards my ears instead of into the carpet.

    Lost my fob this weekend - Stuck 3 hours from home

    I mis-read the OP, thought it said "Lost my job, stuck 3 hours from home".
