    Window tint question.

    The tint does change how the auto high beamed worked on my truck. I brought my truck back to the tinter and he was able to cut around the sensor so it functions correctly.

    TPMS Dead??

    Sounds like the battery is starting to fail on that sensor. The reason is why it work sometimes is when the battery gets low in the sensors, the frequency of the signal they omit can sometimes change. A tire should should be able to test the battery level in that sensor that is failing on you.

    Spare tire TPMS and rotation question

    Yeah, they do a proximity read out to determine what sensors are in what wheel positions. But they still need to relearned. So that would be if you wanted to buy a 5th sensor for the spare and you wanted to rotate the spare into service, you would have to relearn the sensors to the ECU which a...

    Spare tire TPMS and rotation question

    Almost 100 percent certain that the Rams do not have a sensor in the spare. So even if you had a full size spare and buy a sensor to put in it, you wouldn't be able to read all 5 wheels positions on the tpms read out at once. The Ram only registers 4 at a time. When we do rotations at work...

    5.7 and 6.4 hemi Longevity

    I know someone at work that bought a used 6.4 that was an old fleet truck. When he got the truck, it had around 165k miles and I was surprised how well it felt when I drove it. I agree with the 6.4 being a solid engine if taken care of how it's suppose to be cared for.

    Stuck in a pickle... Need advice.

    I would say that gas milage would be the biggest down side. They are more expansive to repair and work on, ride quality is worse and tires cost more. Also, in some states they cost more to license/tag as well. That's all that's coming to mind right now. I've always had 2500/3500 trucks and...

    Tire Size Question

    Terrible in the snow. They are the OEM version of the AT2's though. The "aftermarket" version that you would buy at a tire shop is a different tire, even though it is called the same. The oem tire does not have the same sipe cuts in it and the tread compound is slightly different. This is...

    Tire Size Question

    I want to get new tires before snow sets in as the factory tires did not do me well last year in the snow. I have already settled on a size as overall height is about the same but it's just wider. I was wondering if anyone has run 305/65r17 on their truck yet and if anyone can post pictures. Thanks!

    Second screw in tire within a week or so

    A tire is a tire. If it rolls, it will pick up nails. Certain tires are more prone to picking up nails with the tread design. Also, some AT tires are kevlar lined and I have never seen a nail puncture one of those. As far as the dealer patching the same tire multiple times, if they follow...

    Anyone else have this problem?

    No, I wasn't even thinking of taking pictures of the fading but if it happens again, I will for sure. Yeah, I was pretty surprised that it was faded already. I know my wifes jeep wrangler is pretty faded...but it's also a 2007.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    The biggest dislike I have with the 4th gens are fit and finish quality. Between my 14 and my 15, they have both been in the shop for warranty with the paint. My Ram Rebel has been repainted on both sides, inside the door jams and I also have had 2 new tail gates put on it.

    I guess Ford isn't built tough

    I know my 2015 Ram has a pretty tough bed. I had a motor/tranny dropped in it. It was a big v8 and HD truck transmission. It fell off the cherry picker about 16 inches off the bed. I have a pretty good couple dents but no punctures.

    Anyone else have this problem?

    I've noticed that the plastic fender flares, plastic grill and bumpers are "fading." It could be that I just didn't clean my truck in about 2 months but I cleaned/detailed my truck and that didn't help my plastics and bumpers. I ended up buying some plastic restorer and that did the trick...

    DOT officer harassing me about my boat trailer

    Oh yeah, I was sure to request documentation that the citation was tossed. I requested it emailed and mailed to me. I was nervous because I never got an email but a few days ago I did get the paper document in the mail. Tomorrow I'm going fishing to the same lake and will be taking the same...

    DOT officer harassing me about my boat trailer

    Yeah, that's what mine looks like, there is absolutely NO WAY that they can be crossed. It was quite funny that the officer told me that haha.

    Real Spare Tire (20" Wheel) Woes

    My opinion is a spare is a SPARE. Spares are only designed to get you to a shop to repair/replace the tire. Some newer cars don't even have a spare or have run flat tires so I'm at least glad that my truck has a small spare haha

    DOT officer harassing me about my boat trailer

    Finally heard back from DOT yesterday. Everything got dropped as "there was a huge misunderstanding" at the scales. I do have commercial plates but hauling the boat was not for commercial or "for hire" purposes. Basically, everything was dropped. I was calling/emailing the DOT officer's...

    DOT officer harassing me about my boat trailer

    I do have commercial plates on my truck but the boat is for private use. So I'm guessing the laws would apply to me? I am going to be calling tomorrow to see if I can get it dropped. There is no way they can be strapped since the motor is in the way. I figured it's complete BS I just wanted...

    DOT officer harassing me about my boat trailer

    Yeah, I plan on fighting it. I agree. It's stupid. I cross straps on heavy loads like vehicles and tractors but I have never even heard of crossing straps on a boat. I tried it when I got home and it's not even possible because my outboard mount is in the way. Completely stupid.

    DOT officer harassing me about my boat trailer

    I fish 5 to 6 days a week and am ALWAYS pulling my boat around this time of year. The other day I got flagged for having to hit the scale while traveling through Nebraska in between Lincoln and Omaha - which has NEVER happen to me hauling this boat. Anyways, I wasn't overloaded but I got a...

    New to towing and Ram

    I haul my boat around A LOT this time of year. She weighs in at 4500 and I usually average around 14mpg on the hwy and 9-10 mpg in town.

    Trailer Brake Question

    A lot of the newer boats are coming with electric brakes as an option or standard. I know my old Nitro had surge brakes but i wasnt ever a fan of those.
