    I really hate these tow mirrors

    Old thread, but it’s mine so I can do that. I went ahead and got some 4th gen mirrors. I don’t like these either. The convex mirror is too narrow. Flipped down you have to choose to either see the back of the truck for backing, or see cars in the blind spot... heck the main mirror can see...

    Identify connector front left above headliner

    Any idea what this is for? The only thing I can think of that I don’t have is lit vanity mirrors, but I’ve not found any for sale. There’s one on both sides.

    Falken Wildpeak H/T02 - Any experience with them?

    So far they're awesome. I've hit some deep puddles at 45 and had no traction issues. I need new ball joints in the steering parts, but they seem to track as good as the old ones. I went from 9.6" wide with 7.2" sidewall (245/75-16) to 9.3" wide and 7.9" sidewall (235/85-16) so that's something i...

    Recommendations on New tires for Ram 3500 dually towing 18,000+ lbs

    From all my reading, I narrowed it down to General Grabber HTS60, Cooper Discover HT3, and Yokohama Geolander H/T G056. Of course I ignored that and settled on Falken Wildpeak H/T02 despite it not having a single review online. I've had great luck with Falken in the past and am hoping it stacks...

    Traded the Panamera for a BigHorn 2500 today..now i need a muffler that sounds the same

    Wow, Porsche to pickup. That doesn't seem like a common trade. I'd love to hear what a Hemi sounds like if someone dropped a few grand on trying to get it to sound like a Porsche.

    Strobe placement ideas?

    I'm now having trouble figuring out how strobes work. I was assuming that the lights themselves were just simple lights (pos and neg) and they were flashed by the controller in the cab. But it seems theat every light says it has x number of flash patterns. Where are the "smarts" in these...

    Strobe placement ideas?

    I don’t. I’ve thought of that though. While it’d make it much easier, I don’t think I want to go that rout… I want to keep it from looking that much like a work truck if that makes sense.

    Strobe placement ideas?

    For rear facing I think a bar mounted high in the back window. I'm kinda struggling with the front though. I don't like the look of aftermarket lights on the grill. Maybe a few hide-aways that poke thru won't be too noticeable. I'd really like to have strobing clearance lights, but none are made...

    Falken Wildpeak H/T02 - Any experience with them?

    Anyone have experience with these tires? I've found threads on every tire that's on my list except these. They aren't even listed on Tire Rack or 1010. I've had Falken passenger tires in the past that made it to about 72k before they separated. If I can't find any experience with these, I'm...

    Favorite car audio brands (2022)

    I got an alpine deck and type S in the doors about a year ago in another truck and was a bit disappointed. Put a pioneer in this truck and it’s awesome. I went wild ID in the doors and they’re awesome. Will probably be quite a while, if ever, till I mess with a sub.

    Death of the V8 & birth of a.... Inline 6?

    I'd like more transparency and honesty from mfgs. Toyota's new twin turbo in the Tundra came out of the gate with a crippling turbo issue. It was waste gate related, but no official description of the problem was ever released. The number of affected vehicles was between 15 and all of them...

    Death of the V8 & birth of a.... Inline 6?

    Wonder what the “forums” said about the model t and how horses were better? Bet there are articles from then that would be fun to read. I think the main issue with the new-fangled things is how EVERYTHING is bundled into one, fragile computer. I had the current generation accord. A leaky tail...

    Death of the V8 & birth of a.... Inline 6?

    Mazda is supposed to be coming out with an inline 6. Next year's CX-90 has a pic on the teaser page witha badge that says "inline 6" so I guess it's not just a rumor. Probably a completely different engine, but it's similar timing. Wonder if they shared some R&D.

    Ram recalls and terrible customer service

    I'm sure a team of lawyers helps in knowing how to play the game. Also there's "Borrow a little, the bank owns you. Borrow a lot, you own the bank." I'd bet stopping payment is part of a perfectly viable plan, but is not in itself a plan.

    Does payload matter?

    I was going to mention (ask about) this. "Payload" has some definition, and it's not "anything that fits in the bed." Just a quick torque calc of the bike about the rear axle: 200 lbs, 10' behind axle = 1000 lbs, 2' behind axle = 2000 lbs 1' behind axle. Your pic says that cg should be in front...
