    FCA emissions recall 67A

    I had an appointment for the re-programming to comply with 67A this morning (Jan-5-2024 @ 7:45 A.M.), but was greeted by several Service Advisors that they had just received a message from a Regional Service Advisor that the current software was prone to "brick" systems randomly, and that RAM...

    What would you add to make your Ram ideal for you?

    . . .and all this time I thought I could ride with you! I am also married to a true "GINGER" . . . .

    Pricing is out of control

    Please justify that comment. When things go up at the bottom that puts the proverbial DOMINO effect in place. We are more than fortunate that we realize only a 25% increase.

    Engine hours... what i didnt know...

    I am currently driving a 2018 RAM 3500 that I bought 3+ years ago with 9532 actual miles on the odometer and the hour gage was reasonably close so I didn't say anything. Today (Jul-03-2023) and the truck now has 51448.3 miles on the odometer, and the hour meter shows Idle = 72, Driving = 1178...

    Insurance premiums

    Assuming your "271" monthly is in CAD$ your rate isn't really that much different to most with the same type of coverage.

    Insurance premiums

    In Washington State most insurance rates are mandated by the state (think hidden tax revenue) . . . . .then discuss with your insurance provider!

    A "CARFAX" is not necessarily accurate either. There exists zero requirement (legally) for any reporting to "CARFAX". Think box of chocolate!

    Towing Help! 2023 Ram 1500 5.7L V8 eTorque, 4x4, Crew Cab, short bed, 3.21

    After I lost my second TT in a hail storm, I rented a truck solely for the purpose of taking the replacement home. I thought the TT was much safer with me than the dealer!

    CarFax "can" be useful . . . but not the "end all" may thinks it might be!

    That is because the police entity reports to CarFax . . . .still every crash does not necessarily get reported to CarFax. How do I know . . . . .been there and done that!

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    Hopefully you are only talking "generally" about big sixes fitting in the RAM HD. Especially since the CTD is really a "big six", both external dimensions and internal C.I.D.

    What’s your favorite flavor of cordless tools?

    Buying From Hertz

    Way too many people put heavy stock into "CarFax" reports . . . ."CarFax" is not the end all and often does not have the "Fax" since "NO" entity is required to report to "CarFax". It is only a voluntary thing that often conflicts with the business model of potentially reportable companies!

    Homelink issue related to LED light issue?

    I have a newer home link system with the web based application. I have similar problems, but have validated that it is NOT related to LED lighting. It is totally intermittent so I only use the Home Link button if it works, otherwise I use my "Smart Phone and/or Watch". I have had this with...
