    Need Help in the Dallas / Fort Worth Area

    OK, it is an hour from me, so I will have to figure on time to get there.

    Need Help in the Dallas / Fort Worth Area

    Yes, I would be fine with letting them do the work. The problem I have found asking around solo is they don’t want to use the brakes I already bought, despite the fact I bought Power Stop kits.

    Need Help in the Dallas / Fort Worth Area

    So, I have quickly relocated to the Dallas area and am in a little jam. My family and almost all my stuff is still in Ohio waiting for our house to sell while I have started the new job and am living out of a hotel. I now suddenly need to install brakes on the Ram. I was trying to find one of...

    Tradesman vs Big Horn

    So did a little online config for a 2500 Extended Cab, 8ft bed, 4x4, diesel. Didn't mess with any of the many bed, towing, rear axle ratio, etc. Just stuck to in cab equipment and exterior style. Did a Tradesman with the Level 1 equipment (basically cloth seats / carpet), chrome exterior...

    2018 Pre-owned V6 Help...

    That is exactly the truck I have, only mine is a 2016. I paid around 27k for mine back in 2018. Granted mine only had 15k miles. That said, their price looks really good, and the mileage is about right for a 2018 that was just normally driven. All I know is I love my truck. It now is sitting at...

    What does everyone name their trucks?

    Never did the name thing... then I went and bought a 2017 Dodge Gran Caravan GT... everyone that knew me was very confused. Why would the "car guy" that drove a 300 Hemi go and get of all things.. a mini van... The best way I could describe it to them was this.. It drives super nice and...

    Oil filter: Ram 1500 SLT (3.6L V6)

    That would be because Daimler "owned" Chrysler corp. during the development of the Pentastar V6... Dig closer and you will notice a lot of Mercedes engineering "style" in that engine..

    Considering buying 2018 Big Horn

    My take... Go for it but with a disclaimer. The price seems about right. Three years ago I got my 2016 with 15k miles. Paid right around 26k. Paid a little more for the "right condition" truck.. Going over it with a fine tooth comb and it was basically in mint new condition, even underneath...

    Rear Camera Display Problem

    See if after a couple of ignition on / off cycles it comes back. Mine did something similar, but never went totally black. It would get fuzzy or only display what can best be described as static. The fact that you have lines probably means a connection issue and not a dead camera. Ends up that...

    Truck Industry History Question

    It is simply a result of suspension engineering. Early 4x4 trucks were very simple, unrefined, machines that rode terribly as passenger vehicles. That is the big rub. Trucks now are truly all around daily use vehicles not farm implements. Back even in the 80's when trucks really started to...

    Wife Wants to Buy Me Running Boards For Christmas

    My 2cents.. If you live in a snowy climate I would go with a board instead of the tubular ones with the step pads. I had the tubular ones originally on the truck and they were cool looking but.. first winter and multiple times my kids slipped on them getting out of the truck (missed the pads). I...

    Why do trucks still come with carpeted floor mats?

    I have a bit of a different spin on this... I loved the protection of molded all weather mats, but living in the snowy North, I always hated the sloshing puddle from the melted mess splashing around the floor. Then I found these little known brand of mats, 3D MAXpider carpet all weather mats...

    Carbon fiber catch can

    Here is the simple explanation. Back in the day... Engines had breathers.. Many times the vent hose went to a fiber filter in the air cleaner. Remember those oil soaked filters clipped in the ring of the air cleaner? Many times we would replace those with press in canisters. Fast forward. In an...

    Possible Odometer Roll Back?

    Nice.. 180 average speed... and still getting 16+ MPG... I agree with others... do a reset and see if the oil life monitor goes back to normal. The same numbers from multiple users points to a system glitch and not some sneaky altered odometer.
