Tire Pressure for best ride, and wear on a 2021 Big Horn crew cab V6 eTorque with 20 inch stock tires?
Tire wear will follow the tire pressure variations in a direct percentage. 10% over-inflation will sacrifice 10% of the center third (guesstimate) of the tread; and 10% under-inflation will sacrifice 10% of the shoulders. The fly in the ointment is the method of checking the tire pressure. A... -

2007 Dodge ram 1500 Toe in
OK, toe-in and/or excessive camber are the culprits. Place your hand flat across the tread of the tire and slide it lightly across the tread, from the inside toward the outside shoulder. Then slide it lightly back toward the inside shoulder. If the issue involves toe-in, the edges of the...- hotrod45

2007 Dodge ram 1500 Toe in
@Fast69Mopar is showing good instincts. There are a couple other questions that might be appropriate to address and those are whether the tires are the same size/series as the original tires and whether the truck customarily carries a load that wasn't in it at the time the alignment was done.- hotrod45

Front Tire Wear - 2019 Ram 3500 Crew Cab LWB 4x4
On a worn tire, put your hand flat across the tread and slide your hand lightly across the tread sliding toward the center of the truck. Then slide your hand outward, again lightly, from the inside to the outside shoulder of the tire. If the excessive wear is on the outside shoulder and it is... -

Weird barking sound from under truck
Have to agree on the Chihuahua similarity. Creepy, actually. I think the only occasions I have heard a sound like that, it was coming from a Chihuahua.- hotrod45

Nittos getting louder with age?
The individual blocks in an obstruction tread will wear with a slight feather edge at the trailing edge of the block. It will continue to a point when every individual block in the tread is slapping itself onto the pavement as the tire rotates. Rotation for this style tread should always... -

Dealer misdeed
I'm bombarded with phone calls and snail mail "urgent" messages about extended warrantees. Sometimes it's for vehicles that I traded years ago. I respond to none. The best way to limit calls on a cell is not to give out the number and not to answer any call you don't recognize. It's a lot...- hotrod45

Why the hate?
There are lots of followers and very few people who think for themselves, no matter what area of life you wish to address. It isn't that people can't or shouldn't agree on some things, but it ought to be a person's decision to agree. What you describe is how the beginnings of the PC-culture...- hotrod45

BAKflip MX4 Relaunch
I got mine from tonneaucovered and have no complaints about the product at all. I'd take posts on Amazon with a half pound of salt. Edit/added: When you read what people say about a product, there are several issues that can tip off the reader that their criticism is not valid. They say that...- hotrod45

Water spitting out of EGR valve.
Water is one of the by-products of an internal combustion engine. You start the engine: one of the things it's producing is water. It's part of the puzzle when you start finding more water than you ought to have somewhere. The little bit of water you see at the tailpipe is that same water...- hotrod45

2020 1500 eTorque with terrible MPG
What ratio rear end is in it? I have a 3.92 for the first time and it provides better gas mileage than the 3.21 and I've had several. Another issue is weather. Here in New England, they change the gas when the colder weather rolls in and I noticed a 2 mpg drop in gas mileage when they did...- hotrod45

Stumped! Anyone else have any idea.
I'd also check to make sure that the air intake is clear. No air, nothing to compress.- hotrod45

Max amount of weights for a tire balance
Balanced is balanced. 4.5 oz. of weight is not a lot, but it is irrelevant anyway. There are signals that something isn't right when placement of weights in one spot is clearly offsetting weights in another. While that would indicate that there might be a problem with the tire & wheel...
