Recommended Jack for 6" lift Truck
My Ram is lifted 6” and the factory jack lifts it enough to change a tire. Also the factory 18” spare will fit on a front corner. Not pretty but enough to get my butt off the side of the road. Just stuff I tried when I got the truck to make sure I could self rescue with what was provided or know...- Bigdaddyii

2023 Bighorn 5.7L first oil change
Changed the oil Wednesday on my 2019 I bought a couple months ago, what a sharp pain in the testicles! I installed a Fumoto on the sump to hopefully help minimize mess in that area and it’s easier to flip a valve than keep breaking out a wrench or socket. For the filter I used the gallon size...- Bigdaddyii

2021 Dodge Ram 1500 starts and drives without key FOB
I cant even start mine standing outside the truck with the fob in my pocket using my hands to push the pedal and hit the button. There is likely another fob somewhere in the truck. In a rural area, I "might" tape one on the backside of one of the dash panels, similar to what I may have done with...- Bigdaddyii

Soft covers - theft a problem?
I run a soft Xcover and had a soft cover on my previous truck for a couple years. I haven’t had an issue. When I installed the soft cover on the Tundra my wife voiced concern about the vinyl. My response was the “out of sight, out of mind” line and I mentioned that if you kept valuables inside...- Bigdaddyii

Just returned and question about media center
Hey Guys, I was a member here years and years ago and have owned Ford and Toyota since. Thursday I purchased a 2019 Big Horn with 58,000 miles on it. It has a 6” lift on 37” Wildpeaks. No running boards but I ordered some in short order, along with rubber floor liners, a bedcover, drop trailer...- Bigdaddyii

oil and filter
I would rather have a leak with added protection then sludge build up. If it leaks it's a bad seal that needs repairing anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bigdaddyii

oil and filter
Always ran 5-30 synthetic Mobil 1 in my 4.7 with either a Mobil 1 or Mopar filter in southeast Louisiana. 174,000 miles and no oil related problems. As far as fram filters go, they aren't horrible, there are just better filters for cheaper. Fram builds a $1.50 filter and wants $5 or more for it...- Bigdaddyii

Well had some engine trouble today.
If you have a local Napa around you, they have Zerex G-05 which is an HOAT coolant and cheaper option then the Mopar stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Bigdaddyii

best engine oil?
I run Mobil 1 in both of my trucks. I would use Amsoil but I wanted something readily available on a store shelf that I don't have to buy in bulk. Oh and my Ram has almost 174,000 and the F150 has 112,000 miles on the clock. No harm in running synthetics in either. Sent from my iPhone using...- Bigdaddyii
