    RIDES LIKE A TRUCK

    You obviously haven't considered the owner base for this fleet.... If you had (as I've done) almost nothing would surprise you. Sad but true... (and I'm not a Metallica fan).

    Ok... everyone has issues with their trucks! What is a good truck today?

    Since the OP-man asked "....What is a good truck today....." THIS. (I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra (Certified Pre-owned), 8', DoubleCab, 4x4, 5.7 (381HP/401ft.lbs.) and I LOVE it!). I don't suggest the Tundra just because it's overbuilt for a half ton, and has 75% domestic content, a higher...

    No Steering Lockout w/ Electronic Steering Rack?

    Yet our 2009 Toyota Highland Hybrid, WITH "push button" starting, DOES lock it's steering wheel. And while we're at it (i.e., discussing why RAM gets things so wrong/fixes things that ain't broke), when will the class actions start, about the KNOB that's been substituted (in late model RAM...

    Why are there so few 6’4 long beds out there?

    Ah...that "two-wheeled bed extension" looks so THEFT-RESISTANT, DRY and SAFE in emergency maneuvers--not. Now, of course, trailers have their place--I own one (my 22' boat sits on it). But is it really worth the hassle of a d*cking with a trailer when all you really needed was an...

    Why are there so few 6’4 long beds out there?

    Holy F*ck! In what WORLD is a 6' 4"-long truck bed a "LONG bed?" If your truck's bed is less than EIGHT FEET LONG, you do not have a "long bed." My 2014 Toyota Tundra, Double-Cab LONG BED has a bed that is EIGHT FEET LONG. (8.1 feet, to be exact--and no, I don't know why they converted...

    SILENCE!

    Subscribed. Re: smells--that can be a bigger issue for some than others. Some smells give my wife a headache (certain perfumes others wear) and some smells (chemical cleaners) can make my stomach upset. (But I have a dog's nose--LOL). My point is: after reading this, I will buy/beg test...

    Clearance/cab lights yes or no?

    ^^^^ This. Plus the potential leaks. Plus any warranty concerns that the stealership can try to blame on your modifications. All that said, I do like the looks--but of amber lights--not "smoke"--no offense. But even then, amber only on 3/4 and 1-ton trucks. Just my .02+. Your truck...

    Anyone regret leveling their 1500? Why?

    To BTD07, Whoah...I never said anyone did or did not "deserve" to buy a truck. Nor did I "call out" anyone. I merely asked one member why his stock rake was "killing" him. Then I made some general observations, based solely on responses by posters in this very thread, who listed negatives of...

    Protecting from door dings

    Because it's only original once. And car people (which include people like me, who used to do bodywork) can often see the failed paint blends, as may a discerning buyer, when they're looking for ways to pay you less than you want, when it comes time to sell. Oh, wait? Do you lease? If so...

    Anyone regret leveling their 1500? Why?

    Yellow dog 55, May I ask why the stock rake is "killing" you? And this isn't just directed at you; rather, I hope others will chime in too, and tell me, once and for all, if this "leveling" is done purely for looks, or not. Because, as Scott McD (correctly) states beloow, there's a reason...

    State says my lift is too tall...almost

    I agree with the above, and commend the OP for declining to lift further. Meaning, this is not an attack on the OP, nor anyone else. Rather, I'm just a citizen, trying to be helpful to fellow forum members, as I've practiced law in the area of automotive liability--admittedly, many years ago...

    Happy New Year to Me....NOT

    I agree that what MADDOG said, above, is a possibility and further, it does seem like it also could also be viewed as you taking a bribe not to report a crime, in addition to what MADDDOG laid out, above. Also, if what I'm about to say has already been discussed, or has become irrelevant, I do...

    Best bang for your buck?!

    Yes my comedic, but apparently reading-challenged friend, I did. I say "reading-challenged" because you seem to have missed the part about my EIGHT-FOOT BOX. So...tell me about your trucks's EIGHT-FOOT BOX, with four doors, please? Because some of us actually buy trucks to use to HAUL...

    Best bang for your buck?!

    Honestly, re: "The Best Bang for the Buck?" While I recognize that this is a DODGE FORUM, and from my screen name, it's pretty clear I was set on owning a Dodge, as my lifelong loyalty to Ford disappeared when they started spitting their sparkplugs out of their heads, with NO RECALL, to date...

    How Common Are TIPM Failures in 2005 Ram 1500's?

    Hi all, I'm looking at a 2005 Ram 1500, and I've been reading (with increasing concern) a lot about the TIPM (i.e., Totally-Integrated Power Module) failures, and how dealers are attempting to charge anywhere from $800.-$1,400. to "fix" these problems. Of greatest concern to me is the...

    How to Boroscope 4.7 to Check for Sludge?

    Ah...I see. And Congrats on your fast-acting, and resolution of your sludge-problem! Is there a way to "T" in an old-fashioned, oil-pressure-fed pressure gauge, so keep an eye on the actual pressure? (Because I understand that these modern gauges are nothing more than an "idiot light," in...
