    Alignment BEFORE or AFTER new tires?

    As others have suggested, make sure you really need an alignment. Edge wear can be alignment but is just as likely to be driving style. Unless something is worn out or damaged, there is probably little to no reason for the alignment. Also, real mechanics are at a premium these days and the...

    Newbie questions

    Defective 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn 5.7 Hemi

    Check the service history for the truck. Maybe there is a similar or same problem in its past that was never corrected. The dealer may have sold you this truck with known issues that were never resolved. Also, lemon laws may apply.

    Oil Change or Not...What would you do?

    Most of us change our oil much more often than necessary. (me included) Adding 1400 highway miles to what you have already driven won't bother a thing. Plus, you will probably find that the highway miles will not change the 30-35% very much. Oil monitors like highway miles.

    That is not a problem with tint, that is a problem with excessive moisture caused by improper application of the tint.

    How much of this is really necessary?

    Like everything else, it depends on a lot of external factors not addressed in your post. On the surface it appears that some service is not necessary at this time. Other parts could make your ownership experience better. Is there something in the truck's history that would cause the dealer to...

    Need your help… eTorque?

    Mine has only 17000+ miles on it with no issues. If it is still available when I get a new one it will be with e-torque.
