    Trailer Hitch Lock Lubricant/Protectant Recommendation

    What do you recommend for a trailer hitch lock lubricant/protectant to be used periodically in the lock mechanism? When you do not remove the trailer hitch lock for long periods of time it tends to become non-removable, requiring it to be broken/cut off to remove it. Thanks in Advance.

    2018 RAM 1500 Fuel Tank Fill Issue

    I had to take the Truck in again today because there was an intermittent clicking sound when the engine was running. They said that it was a loose clamp for the exhaust pipe/muffler and that they tightened it up. The sound is gone now. Does the exhaust pipe/muffler have to be moved to change...

    2018 RAM 1500 Fuel Tank Fill Issue

    The Dealer replaced the carbon canister yesterday. I picked up the Truck today and filled it up without any problems. So I guess that the problem was the carbon canister.
