    Are new 1500 orders on hold now?

    I expect part of the wind-down and wind-back-up processes include retooling the lines for new options, removing old options, features, etc. By stopping the ordering process, they can ensure people aren't ordering "old" features or options that won't be available when the line restarts. I...

    Possible GM to RAM this weekend question.

    Hemi tick is blown way out of proportion and affects a tiny minority of trucks. The 8 speed is THE BEST transmission in any pickup. The RAMs are the most sorted of any of the half tons...though maybe the ancient Tundra has it beat. No turbos to blow up, condensers to fill with water, no...

    Should I trust the dealer service center?

    What would the alternative? I guess you could pay out of pocket to someone else, but that would be crazy... and still be a question mark. They lift cars and trucks all day, and I doubt they will mess up your side steps. If they damage something, then go after them.

    Odd Dash Symbol...

    Means your gas cap is loose (or you have a leak in your system).

    Sorry to hear about that. Bright news is the Raptor only has 6 cylinders to potentially break.

    Adding an electronic brake controller/console question

    Yes, you can add the factory controller. The dealer will have to flash the computer to let it know it is there, but the install looks great and isn't crazy. No data on the second question...good luck!

    Would you buy a 2018 this month or wait for a 2019 in spring?

    I'd wait for the new one regardless of which model you choose. If you love the new one, get a new one. If you love the 4th gen, leverage the fact there's a new one to get an even better deal. I don't like first model years for vehicles generally, but the Ram looks pretty evolutionary instead...

    Possible GM to RAM this weekend question.

    I have a 2013 CC Laramie Hemi with 3.21s. I tow often, about 4-5k pounds. I am leveled with stock sized all terrains. Towing at 60 I get 12 mpg, and highway at 65 EVIC says 24 consistently and hand calculated around 21.5 consistently. I have the MOPAR Cai and exhaust. I love the...

    Hey guys! tire research time! for Daily Driver!

    I like Cooper products. Pick the tread design that fits your driving style (sounds like the AT3/Adventurer AT/etc) and enjoy a quality American-made tire at a good price.

    Any Tesla radio installs?

    It looks like it would be pretty frustrating to deal with all the HVAC migrating onto the screen. I don't know that I would pay 700 plus for 2 extra inches of screen. 2 extra inches of something else, maybe.

    Justification of truck payment.....

    If you can get a good rate, financing makes perfect sense. Invest the different in something that makes a higher return than your auto loan, pocket the difference. People get into trouble when they start trading around and get upside down, buying more than they can afford, etc.

    How Many Miles on you 6.4 Hemi??????

    I'm definitely a gas believer! Thank you for your response.

    The Italian tune up.

    Nothing wrong with this at all... some people give it an "Italian tune up" every time they drive!

    How Many Miles on you 6.4 Hemi??????

    Awesome truck and very happy to hear how well it is holding up. What made you go with gas this time (instead of diesel)? Thanks for posting!
