Toyota pickups do last longer
In all honesty, any vehicle is only as good as the first owner took care of it. I’ve owned everything from Chevys to Volkswagens. Heck, even owned a Hyundai at one point. Everything needs maintenance - from your car, to your house, to your spouse . If the first monkey behind the wheel is a...- Katmandookie

What part is this? It's not attached
It’s hard to say. If you’re using oil at low mileage, then you may be screwed. Not trying to be doom and gloom, but I see dusted engines quite a lot. It doesn’t take long.- Katmandookie

I hate TPMS
Did it in my Jeep for years... also my 2014 F250... maybe the sensor is dead? Maybe Ram is different? Try moving the tire around in the bed... see if it “picks up”- Katmandookie

I hate TPMS
Aaah.. this one is fun. Remove the tpms sensors and replace with normal stems. Make a pvc tube, cap both ends with Schraeder fitting at one end. Put the tpms sensors inside, seal it up and pressurize it. Everything works as normal. Do not put it in the cab of the truck I case it fails for some...- Katmandookie

What part is this? It's not attached
This is probably obvious, but a person is essentially dusting the engine with that unplugged. It is unfiltered, outside air. All dust, dirt, and sand are entering you engine.

Rust Freckles on Chrome Clads
You might want to try Iron-X. Since those are plastic cladding, there shouldn’t be rust spots. My guess is it’s iron deposits that naturally occur from braking (pads). I think JB1 hit the nail on the head. Iron X should turn purple if there’s iron there. Then wash it off with a good soft mitt or...- Katmandookie

How to get rid of cigarette smoke smell
Also, you can put Ivory soap bars under the seats... they absorb smell as well - but not a immediate solution. Putting a dish of white vinegar when the vehicle is parked outside works too. The vinegar smell will grab the smoke smell - again a slow process. Ozone machine is the #1 solution.- Katmandookie

Anyone's Homelink buttons randomly not working?
I'm going to join the "works every time" crowd. But boy did I struggle getting the damn thing to link. I followed the manual exactly - Dash display says it programmed the button. Hit the "learn" on the garage door head - wouldn't take. It turns out, on GENIE rolling code garage door openers...- Katmandookie
