    What coolant is in my truck??

    That’s a horrible response from someone who is supposed to be a tech. A simple drain and refill would not do the job. You would need to completely flush your system to rid it of any traces of HOAT before replacing it with OAT. And by no means should the factory be sending out the Fiat version...

    What coolant is in my truck??

    Yup. Done and done. Had it thoroughly flushed and refilled with purple OAT today. You can use either one safely in my model year, but you cannot mix them! That’s why I am so bothered that they would send it from the factory with HOAT, with an owner’s manual that says to use OAT. Bad...

    What coolant is in my truck??

    I bought my 2016 1500 Bighorn Hemi certified used with 29,000 miles. Dealer serviced the entire time prior to sale. It was previously a dealer loaner. When I went to top off the reservoir, I noticed my coolant was pink, not purple. When I questioned the dealer, they said “Oh yeah, sometimes...

    Speaker upgrade questions!

    Not correct. In the non-Alpine six speaker system, the front doors get full range. My front door 6 x 9 three-way speakers are picking up plenty of crisp highs. It ends up sounding pretty doggone good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Speaker upgrade questions!

    It works quite well. Going from eight ohms in the dash to four ohms means they are a lot louder and harsh. Those tweeters end up sounding obnoxious. Besides, with a good set of 6 x 9 three-way speakers in the doors, there are plenty of highs to be had. I've never been a fan of tweeters in the...

    Speaker upgrade questions!

    After replacing my dash speakers with kicker upgrades, I simply clipped the black wires off that supply the tweeter portion of the speakers. It eliminates those loud, harsh highs bouncing off my windshield. Now I have my stereo balanced correctly, my dash speakers provide mids, and I get...

    Adding a resistor for 4 ohm dash speakers=works!

    For those of you who are concerned about a ceramic resistor heating up, I have an alternate solution for you. I have the base 6-speaker system. I replaced all six speakers with Kicker speakers. I am running all four door speakers off a separate amp, and run the dash speakers off the head unit...

    USB issues with Uconnecg 5.0?

    I have a 2016 ram with a 5.0 system. I have an iPhone 6s. I have found that I have to plug the phone into the USB prior to turning on the ignition or it will not go into iPod mode. If I plug it in once the engine is started, then it only offers Bluetooth as an option. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Here I am

    After 22 years of driving Toyotas, I have purchased a certified used 2016 Ram 1500 4WD Quad Cab with 8-speed trans and 5.7 liter Hemi. I did a lot of research, and it sounds like this is a solid choice. From what I've read, the powertrain seems Stout, and nothing but good things have been said...
