    Octane for Hemi at altitude?

    Relocating to Denver from central FL and noticed they have lower octane available at the pump. Owners manual says to use 89 octane, but would that be applicable at 5k-6k above sea level? The way I figure, 87 should be ok as its mid grade out here. Any thoughts? Would 85 (not E85) work, or...

    Moving from sea level to altitude

    I'm moving to Denver in a few weeks and wanted to know how the Ram hemi would handle towing a (future) travel trailer at 5200 ft and up into the mountains. I'm considering a turbo, but would wait until I'm settled in to go that route. I don't race my truck, but am concerned about the loss of...

    Any way to have doors lock on their own?

    We had a string of car break ins last night, and unfortunately mine was one. While they didn't take anything or do damage, they certainly could have. Looks like I left my door unlocked, which is what brings me to this question: Is there a way to have the door automatically lock if left alone...

    2014 water leak - not 3rd brake light

    Ive already replaced the gasket around my 3rd brake light and upon re inspection, can tell that its been dry. I pulled up the edges of the roof "gasket" that runs down both sides, and it appears to have a small gap in the sealant between the rear window and the truck. I just placed a small...
