    Oil change-engine temp?

    I’ve always done all mine (no matter the type of vehicle) at operating temp; or at very least warm. The info I’ve read: any sort of contaminants will better suspend themselves in the warm oil to allow you to get more out. I’d assume though with an engine that has an oil filter that wouldn’t be...

    Engine Air Filter, Wix vs Mopar oem, factory warranty

    Not using OEM legally cannot void a warranty unless it is provided free of charge or it can be proven it causes the failure. Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New guy question...

    I also put 1 or 2 milk crates in the corners by the tailgate and then I secure them to the “D” rings near the bottom of bed so they don’t slide around on me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AlfaOBD

    True. I can see that point and it’s easier to not have that fight. It would be a huge stretch for them to prove me having my fogs on with high beams and adding DRLs made me have a mechanical issue or whatnot. But avoiding that fight to begin with would save time and hassle. Agreed. Sent...

    AlfaOBD

    So I’m curious: why remove the bypass harness if going to dealer? It’s not used to tune the truck. Is what I did with alphaOBD illegal? What do I care if they know I’ve changed some settings? Trying to figure out why I should remove it I guess....the downside of NOT removing it. Sent...

    Drag Link Recall ... Video

    I got reimbursed a year or so ago for parts, tax, labor and even an alignment (which surprised me). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire recommendations

    I have the 8008s on my 25’ Featherlite two axle car hauler and have had good luck thus far. Had a blowout and tread separations on the cheap tires it originally had. The tires have carried around 7000# total from WA to LA, back to WA. WA to IA. IA to OK, back to IA. Then IA to Vegas...

    UConnect Software Update Received--What's in it?

    Will they ever push that update OTA? Or will it only be via a manual update via USB? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Drag Link Recall ... Video

    Agreed! I’d tell the dealer they need to send a flat bed to pick it up as it’s a huge liability and danger to drive it there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing Large Trailer Advice

    As mentioned yes I prefer “auto” stations over truck stops due to cost. I’m an avid user of gas buddy as well. While still trying to be careful of using a place that would appear to have a high turnover rate of diesel. It’s going to be an adventure towing this thing 1500 miles! Sent...
