    Help me with my cruise control

    I have a non functional cruise in my 06 1500. All the information that I've gathered so far has just served to confuse me. I can't seem to find another example that is presenting symptoms exactly like mine so I'm starting my own thread. Here is how things went down for me. First. My cruise...

    Truck got a owwie!!

    I'm feeling your pain. I had my front bumper tapped. Probably by a semi as it was manuverig into the loading dock. So light that it probably wasn't noticed. That's my best guess anyway. To pour salt into the wound, my insurance says the claim is subject to a 1000 dollar deductable and the...

    Extended warranty suggestions.

    That same 2700 dollars, parked in a mutual fund and earning compound interest turns into more than 4000 in five years and about 7000 in ten years. If it were me, I would simply park the money, forget about it until needed, and then make my own rules as to what is covered. Sent from my XT1030...

    I'm back in a Ram!

    Nice setup. Right now, I'm not planning to get quite that deep into mine but plans are subject to change without notice... What are you seeing for power and fuel economy with those mods? Sent from my XT1030 using Tapatalk

    I'm back in a Ram!

    After a few years away, I've found my way back into a Ram. I just bought myself a 06 1500 4x4 with 4.7 v8 and boy am loving it. 2nd and 3rd gen have always been my favorite body styles The dealer I bought it from installed a black out kit due to yellow headlights and a broken tail light. I...

    Aftermarket warranties

    If the premium cost is $1200 per year, why not just pay yourself the premium and put away $100 per month in a safe or lock box. Come repair time, you will not have to deal with a deductable or anything that might be exempt from the warranty. As an added bonus, cash can be a powerful...

    Pre fabricated exhaust system.

    Sounds like the wise Thing to do is to keep my stock system for a while and save up some more money.

    Pre fabricated exhaust system.

    Thanks for the advice. I really know little about exhaust systems and their components. The system I'm looking at is made of 16 gauge aluminized steel and has mandrel bends. Included is all the mounting hardware and it has resonator tips in place of a muffler. The price before shipping is...

    Pre fabricated exhaust system.

    Has anyone here had any experience with a bolt on exhaust system? I got my new LMC catalog the other day and noticed that they have a cat back dual exhaust that is priced about half of what my mechanic would custom make one for. If you have ever bought an exhaust system from a catalog would...

    Need some help tracking down some wiring problems.

    I'm not really sure what to look at or for. My driver side window will go down but not up. The passenger side can go down with the switch on that side but not up but can be rolled up and down from the drivers side. I only get sound from the right front and left rear speakers and the front...

    Annoying idiosyncrasies about our trucks!!

    I can't think of any better way to improve the looks of a beater than parking next to a Ram. Sent from my BlackBerry Torch 9850 using Tapatalk

    What would You Do (pic)

    Don't let the shop use a plug. Insist that they break the tire down and patch it right. Sent from my BlackBerry Torch 9850 using Tapatalk

    Annoying idiosyncrasies about our trucks!!

    Another minor irritation for me is my cracked and broken up dash. I have it covered with a dash mat which looks nice but not as nice as a shined up and uncracked dash. Sent from my BlackBerry Torch 9850 using Tapatalk
