    Feds to require automatic braking by 2029

    Mine would slam the brakes on as I backed up towards tall grass.

    Feds to require automatic braking by 2029

    Damn how much longer are the people of this great nation going to allow unlected bureaucratic twits to dictate how and what we drive. What is it going to take for people to wake up and elect some representatives that will stop this crap or is it going to require stronger actons.

    Learned Some Interesting Things the Last 2 Weeks

    Many years ago it was called a "Georgia" over drive with trucks, kick her in neutral and let it ride, slid it back in gear when you needed power.

    Max Care quote for my used 2021 Classic Warlock: No?

    I have to differ with your thoughts, I've had the extended warrenties on my last two trucks and my wifes last vehicle. I ran the last truck till the end of the extended warranty (5 year, 100,000 mile) then traded it towards this last truck. I had paid my "15" off in "16" and this lightly used...

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    Oh hell, the first "truck" I drove was a 59 Chevy 2 ton with the "big" 235 cub 6 against a granny geared 4 speed. I used to dread driving that some times. Especially when my father would order 4 ton of fertilizer in 80# sacks and I'd get the lovely job of loading and then driving home with. With...

    greasin that hitch

    My hitch comes out of the reciever whenever I swap for the different sized balls, one of them is usually always in the hitch. It works real good for the idiots that like to park by feel.

    greasin that hitch

    I'm with the school of NEVER use grease it will collect and hold grit and grime and the ball shank will get locked in place and be almost unremovable. Powdered graphite will lube and not attract and hold dirt.

    Max Care quote for my used 2021 Classic Warlock: No?

    The extended warrenties are a gamble. I've gotten to the age were I don't want to do the work on my own vehicles. The joints don't bend as well and it's much harder to stand up once the horizontal postion has been acheived. Then the though of crawling under to get up under the dash for an...

    Terrible towing with factory air suspension

    After reading through all this my first guess would be that the new truck has a lower hitch ball height when loaded compared to the older truck. That would reduce the loading on the rear trailer axle and increase it on the front trailer axle effectivly shortening the trailer along with the...

    What grease/lube for power running boards?

    A dry spray powdered graphite would be my go to. Anything that attracts and holds dirt and dust will cause issues. CRC® Dry Graphite Lube Ideal where a dry lubricant is required or where petroleum products must be avoided. Resists dirt, dust and oil build-up. Wide effective temperature range

    Salt sucks

    Once the rust has started over coating it will not stop it, oil may soak in and slow it but nothing will stop it. Unless you remove all traces of rust and moisture and then seal it you will have a hard time controlling it. With rust starting under the "factory" undercoating it would be very...

    Is The Eco Diesel Worth It?

    I had a 15, which I traded at 98,000 miles. I miss the way that engine drove and pulled and the mileage it got. I did not get the upper 20.s that many post about getting. I did average around 24 in the spring, summer and fall, it did drop to 20-22 in the winter. That did have more idling on it...

    Veh braking while backing up

    I had to turn my rear braking assit off, much of the time I'm backing down or up hills, towards banks or ditches or just grass and weeds. It would activate constantly.
