    303® Touchless Sealant. Anyone Here Ever Use It?

    I use “303” products on my boat, keeps the “lake ****” to a minimum, and makes rinsing off any offensive stuff very effective. Used it on the boat dash and instrument console also, no problem at all.

    Stick shift anyone?

    Not only can’t make change, try this on an “ educated “ 20’s something. Next time you check in at Doctor office, and they ask your hegira, tell them you are five feet 13 inches! Or if you are buying dry goods by the pound, tell them you want 3/4 pound. Enjoy the chuckle, they have no clue!

    No DRL's in 2015 1500 Limited ?

    2014 SLT, 2500. Dealer says not available on my truck. Did Ram Really make a different wiring loom for US trucks? My dealer, not a small one at that simply says it’s not possible…go figure!

    Ahhhh Rats

    Neighbor “feeds” birds. Translation…. Birds don’t eat 90% of whatever the mix is so they kick it out. Now title changes….” Neighbor draws rats”…. Only took a short time for them to find outside parked truck. **** and pi$$ everywhere in short time. Battery insulation, gone, firewall insulation...

    Is new truck advisable?

    Had an 01 1 ton, HO, 6 sp manual with 400k on the clock. Used it hotshot for Rv . Had 2 lift pumps fail, that starved the high pressure injection pump. $3500 a pop! Still had original clutch. Traded it when vacuum pump sprung a major leak, too expensive to replace, and had quit hotshot by then...

    Anyone else think their 4th Gen is a Lemon?

    2014, 2500CC, 6.4….90,000. Still original brakes, towed 35’ 5th wheel for first 5 years. No issues. Bone stock, true lifetime warranty. Dealership serviced on time every time so if anything goes I know whose record to verify. Bought er’ new, keeping up with common sense maintenance. Best truck...

    So here's the deal

    Yep, Firestone left me greatly disappointed also. They were OEM on 2014 , 2500. Factory rubber got 22000, replaced with same tire, duh moment, got a whopping 21000. Sure not what they used to be!

    4th gen ram hemi avoid?

    75 K, not one problem. Never. Solid truck, would not hesitate to buy another, other than like all major brands, price out a new one, can give you cardiac arrest. Drives real nice without dragging a payment book!

    WDH or not?

    Interesting commentary. Nice engineering observations, and real world experiences. I too have a 2500, 6.4. Crew cab factory tow installed, class V hitch. I used to tow a 35’ fifth, but just got tired of squeezing it into seemingly smaller and smaller camp sites. Went down to a 30’ TT a couple...

    2014 ram 6.4 oil consumption

    77K on a 6.4, no oil usage or loss at 7k OCI. Use dealer to do changes, they indicate 0W40 is what is put in.I have the lifetime low deductible warranty, and don't want to jeopardize it by changing from spec products. So far the truck has met expectations quite well...
