    Silverado vs. Rebel

    I drove GM's from 1994 to 2016 until I jumped into my 2016 Laramie Crew Cab. I came form a 2006 Cadillac STS which I greatly enjoyed. I'm more than pleased with this Ram. First car in 20 years that one of the tires didn't leak air. It's probably a coincidence but I'm blaming it on GM rims!

    Big city living... specifically LA

    If you do a little research, Ive found there are all sorts of parking facilities that have outdoor parking as part of their setup. If it's a mile or so from your work, throw a bicycle in the back and pedal the rest of the way, if safe.

    disappearing oil

    Here is a cut n paste from another forum 2005-2012 Cadillac STS. Post had same issue with a 3.6 litre engine. Those cars had 5 speed trannys. So maybe you should do this (if at all) in 3rd or 4th. I've read similar suggestions just like this one below. Never did anyone chime in that is was...

    V6 or hemi

    I was in a similar position you are now in. I had two 6 cylinder vehicles. I hated the "driveway shuffle!" One was a 2006 cadillac sts and a supercharged Bonneville ssei. The caddy was my daily driver and I used the Bonneville as a work vehicle when needed as it had a trailer hitch to tow a...

    1st to 2nd Gear Shift Delay Explained

    Folks, here is a cut n paste from another form another forum (not sure your allowed to provide links to other forums, but would be glad to provide it). It's the first technical explanation that attempts to explain the shift delay between 1st and 2nd gear during cold weather. At the bottom of...

    Reliability & Durability of the V6?

    I've had my 2016 for about 15 months now and with 20K on the clock. I haven't had a single issue with it. I too am pleased with the comfort and ride of the vehicle. My last daily driver was a 2006 Cadillac STS. I looked at all the smaller trucks. Just didn't have the comfort, were...

    Bad Smell

    Every so often when my wife is with me she complains of a foul smell. I giggle and say, "pardon me" and roll down the window. It eventually goes away! : )

    Never. If I want to see mileage on a trip.... I'll reset one of the trip modules.

    Ecodiesel

    Do a search. Within the past year, there was a lengthy thread where someone put together a cost comparison using the ecodiesel against a Hemi. If my memory serves me, the break even point when all the additional maintenance and higher maintenance costs were considered, the break even point was...

    I may trade in Ram, are my Mods worth anything?

    One more thought..... There is no wrong decision here. But I'll give a little more input/opinion. We purchase mods because we can afford them and then install to enjoy them; not to get every penny out of them when we sell the vehicle. I installed a trailer hitch on a car and used it for 10...

    I may trade in Ram, are my Mods worth anything?

    Too much disposable income! Why are you worrying about it. Move on! It will only hurt for a little while and then you'll forget about it. If you weren't worried about the mods when you bought em' and put them on the truck, why worry now. Move on!

    Justification of truck payment.....

    I've always purchased used vehicles as a young man and middle aged man. Doing that hat would allow me to get a little more car that i could afford if new and The cars became nicer as I got older. I typically would pay cash or put a large chunk down as a down payment to keep monthly payments...

    Heated Side View Mirrors and Adjustment Buttons Lighting

    OK.... one more question. Does the icon engraved on the mirror become illuminated when the heated mirror is turned on by pressing the rear window defrost button?

    8 Speed Tranny concerns.....???

    There ya go! That's a lot cheaper than issuing a recall! They're just waiting it out. Assuming it's a design problem, they'll figure it and re-design the tranny. In the meantime, they'll fix the trannys that have serious issues if still under warranty and call it a day. Why would they do...

    8 Speed Tranny concerns.....???

    I've owned my 1500 for a little over a year and I've accepted the fact that it does it and does it more often and more pronounced when it's cold. I have not accepted that it's normal. Just because this "shift hesitation" is very, very common, doesn't mean it's normal! Yes, it appears many...

    Heated Side View Mirrors and Adjustment Buttons Lighting

    Two questions: 1. My heated side-view mirrors don't appear to be working. Are they temperature activated? Maybe it's not cold enough (thought my heated steering wheel and heated seats come on automatically when the outside temperatures are appropriate. 2. Are the side view mirror...

    I'd replace battery to see if that makes a difference.

    Financing Issues throwing RED Flags

    You might consider taking the new terms and as mentioned before, refinance the vehicle with a third party at a lower rate. I would take a look at an online finance company called LightStream. It's a subsidiary of Sun Trust. I got pre approved for a 30K loan at 1.84% before i even...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    The led's on the ventilated seat can hardly be seen. I can't barely tell if they are one. It's a minor annoyance.

    Dealer Oil Change

    Just checked my cost for purchasing three synthetic changes in advance. The total was $50 per change for a total of 150. Also, you have to use them within 24 months. That's not a problem for me because I purchased the three changes and used the first one that day.

    Dealer Oil Change

    I purchased three full synthetic oil changes for my 6 cylinder for in and around $50 a pop. It may have even been a little less. I suspect you can purchase them for semi synthetic and conventional oil. Again, I don't remember the exact price I paid, but what I do remember it was substantially...
