    Does my Ram come standard with a Class 4 hitch?

    At 30ft in length and 550lbs dry, the hitch is only one of the considerations you need to consider. You didn’t mention the model (1500/2500) or trim level on your truck, or distances and terrain you anticipate towing in, but be aware that higher trim levels have lower load capacities. Since A)...

    greasin that hitch

    FWIW, after 15 years of driving my Dakota with the stinger always inserted I went to remove the stinger…and couldn’t. Hooked a chain on a bollard and the hitch ball to pull out the stinger and…it wouldn’t budge. So, it went with the truck! The concern is that if the stinger rusts in place...

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

    For me, driving strictly gas-powered vehicles, all extended warranties fall into the same pot of unnecessary, whether they are from the manufacturer or an after-market joint like the over-advertised “Car Shield”. Instead, estimate what you’re paying per month for that XW and put that amount...

    Password compromise notice?

    No, it was not via email or txt message like a typical phishing attempt. It was a notice from a third-party monitoring service I use and simply reported that my username and pw for this site were contained in a list of compromised authentication info posted on the dark web. Noncluded links or...

    Gas mileage variable

    Sounds perfectly normal to me, my 2016 gets better mileage in warm weather than cold. Warm weather means less time with mixture enriched after startup, less viscosity drag on moving parts, etc. Best, RI

    Password compromise notice?

    this morning I received a security notice from my iPad that my password/username for this site had appeared in a listing on the dark web, and recommended an immediate pw change. I did so, switching from a really weak pw to a much stronger one. Anyone else get such a notice? Best, RI

    What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?

    My 2016 on the highway ranges from a hand-calculated high of 21 to a low of 16. It all depends upon wind, weather, speed, terrain and whether I’ve filled with 88 or 91(pure) as I’m usually running empty or with a very light load. And I do run a tonneau cover, which helps with mileage. The...

    Horn problem

    Stock horn? Aftermarket horn? One-owner truck or has a previous owner redone horn wiring so as to fit an aftermarket horn? (Gotta have that “Dukes of Hazzard” tune, you know). Not sure why else you’d be missing a fuse in the normal position. Best, RI

    8HP75 Transmission Fluid Change

    So, if leveling the truck altered the fluid level in the 8HP70 enough to impact transmission operation, like rough shifting, then my RAM should have come with a dash placard indicating I should never haul any weight that would compress the rear springs enough to…level the truck… :cool: :oops...

    Should I change my trans fluid?

    For the record, if the 8HP70 has been drained and a new pan/filter in place, how many qts of fluid should be added back in before starting the procedure to set the level? I’d sooner have fluid draining out once the proper temp is attained rather than be trying to pump in additional fluid with a...

    2018 1500 wreck

    Asking price is one thing, selling price quite another. If he actually gets close to $11k for a 13yr-old Taco north of 200k miles the buyer should have “moron” tattooed on his forehead… best, RI

    2018 1500 wreck

    Well, that payout leaves you with a nice down payment for another truck. If you don’t need a truck immediately, like for work, some concerted shopping around might find you a track that will work for you and your budget. At least you don’t have hospital bills in the mix! Good luck on the...
