    Trucks today

    Hate "new" trucks. Meaning, anything newer than like 1992 or 93. I ordered my 2018 as old as possible and I still hate it. Well, I like it, but I really want an older truck, the right older truck. I'm patiently looking. One day, hopefully soon, I'll find it. Then it's goodbye computer...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    A year later and I'm realizing I hate the hvac system. Damn thing is loud as hell at full speed and non existent at low speeds.

    Dial Shifter Made My Life Easier

    Last year, dial shifter convinced me to buy a 2018. No dial shifter. I guess I'll never own a truck newer than 2018 for the rest of my life.

    Back to stock exhaust

    I've been holding off doing exhaust because of this very reason. Was maybe gonna do the muffler delete for now because it's cheap and easy but whatever. I'm just not willing to drop a few hundred to a grand for something I may hate. So I haven't done anything. Still stock.

    Fuel tank size?

    I never go too far below 1/4 tank. Have yet to have the light come on. I rarely fill up either. I just $20 it to death. Haven't gone on any long trips with it yet either. Maybe a few 200 mile round trips. No idea what the mpg's or dte would be long distance. I did do a quite a few NY to FL trips...

    These Firestones suck

    Seems like a decent all purpose tire to me. I've had no major issues so far (7k miles). Driven thru snow, mud, trails, nothing too crazy but no problems. And they are pretty quiet. Loud tires are a peeve of mine. Drives me bonkers.

    Upgrade to 6.4

    Yeah. I know guys with trucks that LOOK like they fell off a cliff and burst into flames, but are meticulously maintained mechanically.

    Upgrade to 6.4

    What trim level? That's around what I paid for a tradesman 18 leftover last March. If yours is a loaded Laramie or something I'm gonna be pissed. Lol

    Got 63k out of the stock Goodyears on the Jeep Renegade commuter we used to have. Still had original tires on it when we sold it, with some life left in them.

    ***Dads 2011 RAM 1500 Transformation ***

    Score with the 392's. Nice truck. Love reg cabs. The stock photo is pretty much my work truck, so I can relate. Maybe I'm cracking up, but did you do chrome in front and painted in rear?

    Shhhh....quiet. You're gonna blow it for all the guys looking for excuses to give their wives as to why they NEED to get those big knobby off road dreamy hunks of rubber.

    FNG with a new used Ram with issues.

    In the old days, when things were simple, you'd think a vacuum leak or something silly. Now? Forget about it. Could be god only knows with all the crap under the hood. Somebody needs to make an aftermarket intake and carb for these motors. Lol.

    Uh Oh Mobil 1

    Well, oddly enough I just did my first oil change and used Mobil 1. So when I saw this thread the "uh oh" part caught my eye. So I guess any day now my truck is going to randomly burst into flames and ultimately not be covered under warranty after months of back amd forth with the dealer. They...

    Uh Oh Mobil 1

    Wow. I almost want to stay off these forums. Sometimes I'm driving around just waiting for something to break because of some of the stuff I read here. I know many people come on here to vent, and report bad stuff, but it can't help to make you feel a little paranoid. Like is my truck gonna end...

    The Transforce seem ok to me. No big complaints other than the writing on the sidewall is a little tacky looking.
