    Rust Proofing - do these things still rot out?

    Minneapolis MN, land of salted winter roads. 2018 Big Horn 1500. I don't have any body rust that I can see and the undercarriage of my truck is barely showing surface rust. I wash it a couple times a month in the winter months at a self-serve car wash where I can get the spray wand into the...

    Leaves in Glove Box

    Turns out that video is for 3rd gen Rams. Mine's a 4th gen. The 4th gen system looks like this. In the photo above the recirculating door is not engaged, meaning it is set to allow fresh air to enter. I took some pictures of my recirculating door. Notice the bits of crushed up leaves jammed...

    Interesting video. Thanks for posting.

    Leaves in Glove Box

    This seems to be a popular theory. But consider the pathway an animal would have to take to get into the glovebox? Why go to all that trouble when there are multiple other places that are more easily accessible?

    Leaves in Glove Box

    No one placed the leaves in the glovebox. I was thinking maybe it's possible the leaves got into the glovebox when they were still somewhat green and pliable (not dried out and fragile.) Then they dry out with use of the Heating/AC system.

    Leaves in Glove Box

    Once again... Don't think it's mice or chipmunks. However, it is interesting that there are oak tree leaves in the mix and the nearest oak tree is across the street in the neighbors back yard, so I'm not ruling it out. I pulled the glove box out and there were some leaves scattered in the...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    It's looking more and more like the Continental TerrainContact H/T. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=300 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/videoDisplay.jsp?ttid=300 The Continental TerrainContact is speed rated H and weighs 44 lbs. $254 each. The Michelin Defender...

    The Continental TerrainContact or the Michelin Defenders. I didn't see the Cooper Discoverers you suggested, probably because as you indicated, they are exclusive to Walmart. I would consider the Falken Wildspeak AT3 if I could find some objective data on their noise and comfort level.

    Guess I better decide soon. I just got this email from Ram. They have a wide selection, including most (all?) of the tires discussed in this thread. .

    This is why I have apprehensions about getting tires at Walmart. You wonder about the quality of their equipment. You wonder about the knowledge of the installer. You wonder if corners will be cut. Are they going to try to upsell you? (Tire pressure monitor sensors, anyone?) Are they really...

    Any opinions on Continental TerrainContact H/T? Tirerack.com has them rated higher than Michelin Defenders and they are $45 less per tire than the Michelins.

    Yes, I meant the differences between the regular AT's and the AT3's. You explained it well. Thank you.

    What's the difference between the Cooper AT (from Walmart) and the Cooper AT3 (available at a lot of places)? Why does Walmart have this exclusivity? Also, I look at these aggressive tread patterns and tread depth and I can't help thinking they would be noisy on the freeway going 70-75 mph...

    What All Season Tire for 2018 Big Horn? (Yes, Another Tire Thread)

    Appreciate everyone's input. I've got some research to do. I likely will not be buying for a week or two or else waiting for sales. Thanks. That's good info on looking at the weight of the tire and it's relationship to the tire's stiffness. To CanuckRam1313's point on mpg--is there any...

    I did see the Continental TerrainContact HT's on tirerack.com, and yes, they tested well. Good recommendation. Thanks.
