    OEM remote starter issue?

    Not sure if this is the right category so please move if necessary. Installed an OEM remote starter in my 2012 1500 but notice sometimes it sounds like it's putting a beating on my starter. It's an EVO Fortin remote starter, sometimes it sounds like it's not firing so it'll keep turning over...

    Octane and DTE

    So just for clarification, there's absolutely no benefit in running 100 Octane but unless I use it often it won't harm my motor. I'd like to add just 2-3 gallons so I can get that "trick gas" smell when I pass people. Lol.

    Octane and DTE

    Out of curiosity, anyone else have Rebel Stations or whomever that offer 'Racing Fuel' at the pump? Most, not all, Rebel Stations have a '100 Octane Race Fuel' for $6+/gallon. I've never used/tried this because Lord knows what that actually is and what it'd do to my motor. Anyone ever try it...

    Octane and DTE

    I'm an ultimate creature of habit so I always fill my truck when it gets to half a tank. I go to the same Chevron at literally the same pump so long as it's not taken (yes, I'm OCD). I typically use their 91 octane, about 15+ gallons which always puts me around 415-425 DTE at my consistent 13.5...

    Parking on a hill everyday

    Ive never scraped my truck bumper but I have to pull up very slow or I feel like the front may scrape. Not lifted or anything, just a level kit. The flat sidewalk transitions like a step so I don't have any problems. Now, if I had a low riding car, that'd be a totally different story.

    Parking on a hill everyday

    My driveway is quite steep, it has to be atleast 45° and I have to park my truck there every night. My HOA community doesn't allow on the street parking unless your driveway is completely full, which mine never is (don't get me started on HOA's arghhhh). So... My ritual when I park it is to...

    Knowing what u know now.. Changes?

    So you basically own the truck the majority of people seem to want! 8 speed fully loaded... Well done. # jealous

    Knowing what u know now.. Changes?

    So knowing everything about your truck and the deal you got on it, in retrospect is there anything you'd do different? (don't need to talk dollar amounts). 1) I'd definitely get a quad cab instead of my crew cab because that extra room is definitely noticeable. 2) I'd get a different...

    Oil filters, non OEM leaks?

    Oh lawd that's a mess! Lol I remember the struggle of filters without a socket nut on my older bikes. The dang strap pullers never work so it's always a stab through it with a screwdriver and torque the entire filter off! But that's impressive the amount of destruction you laid down.

    Oil filters, non OEM leaks?

    This location by house is cool because I can hang in the bay the entire time the mechanic is working and can see any shenanigans. They're fairly reliable for minor stuff but I'd never have them do anything beyond the oil and tire rotation. What's interesting is some have said their leaks...

    Oil filters, non OEM leaks?

    Had a small puddle of oil under my truck so since I'm a hypochondriac I called my dealer for an appt asap. They got me in same day (miraculous) and said the filter was leaking because it was some Mobil oil filter Pep Boys installed in my last oil change just 2k miles ago. So has anyone else...

    Let's say you had $5,600 to spend

    I'd love a party barge to chill out on Lake Mead with. But as mentioned, for a 22' Sun Tracker Party Barge I'm looking at $36k, that's a 2016, could probably find a used one for $20k but that's another world I know little if nothing about.

    Let's say you had $5,600 to spend

    Ding ding ding! Lol. I added the exact amount in attempt to be humorous, but I'm seriously looking to spend it on my truck. I do weekend track racing so I've got streetbikes (07' R1, 09' R6) and a yz450 for the dirt. I bleed blue, Yamaha for life.

    Let's say you had $5,600 to spend

    Those look sick! That'd be a nice upgrade but I remember having leather in my Infiniti out here in Vegas. Without adding some seat coolers/heaters I'd be especially hurting in the summer. Something I'll have to look into tho.

    Let's say you had $5,600 to spend

    I'm leaning towards this angle, stereo and maintenance. I've got a Line-X bedliner currently.

    Let's say you had $5,600 to spend

    LOL. After living in Vegas for 15+ years I've done all there is to do, and then some, out here and around Vegas. I've gotten old and boring, atleast fun wise. Anyway, I really love my Ram but because I bought it used I have to avoid alot of the fun stuff because those warranties are gold until I...

    Let's say you had $5,600 to spend

    So, let's just say you've got $5,628 of disposable income that has been agreed by the ole lady to spend however I want. No talk of investing, retirement, yada yada.. Let's just say I'm good. So how would you spend it? I don't know what I want to upgrade or modify so I'm just interested in seeing...

    Build Sheet / Fuel Capacity

    This is what I got from Chrysler in email today. Missing some parts because the list is long as hell! They list literally every little thing you can think of.

    Build Sheet / Fuel Capacity

    What new wizardry is this?

    Build Sheet / Fuel Capacity

    You are correct sir. After a bit of online chatting with a Dodge Rep I was told my truck has the 32 gallon tank. So 26 is standard, 32 is model specific and 35 is the upgrade option?

    Build Sheet / Fuel Capacity

    Roger that, but I can't ever get it to add up to 35. So is it off because of a reserve or something?

    Build Sheet / Fuel Capacity

    I'm trying to figure out the exact size of my fuel tank but can't find it listed anywhere in the paperwork I have. Online it seems a 'build sheet' by VIN is the way to go but I can't find a dam site that works. The dodgemopar.com won't let me submit so that's a disaster. But on a full tank at...

    Exhaust Manifold bolts nightmare

    What's it run to install long tube headers? I'm seeing from 500-1k+ for just the headers, I imagine the install is a 5+ hours atleast. Do you have to tune the truck after to get optimal performance? Does this void the Mopar 80k warranty and manufacturers? <sorry for the 20 questions, but...

    Exhaust Manifold bolts nightmare

    That was my major problem which I failed to mention in my follow up rant. The tech said he cant/won't install anything other than OEM on a warranty issue. It sounded like he was very fearful of losing his job or taking on some unwanted liability so I didn't push the guy. So basically I'm...
