    Can’t keep a set of tires

    Make sure you are getting alignments done by trained professional mechanics. Tire shops make their money selling tires and wheels. Place I used to go had a great Tech until he asked for a raise. They said no, he left, so did I.

    Oil pressure

    Thread lock? Hope you never have to remove it. If Teflon tape is good enough for nuclear power plants, it is good enough for vehicular use.

    Weighing Down Bed for Winter

    Because my driveway layout forces me to slow and turn tightly where I turn in. If I lose momentum, I slide back into the street. That is a 2017 4x4 Ram. Going to try some weight in the back this winter... wife's front wheel drive Impala does a better job.

    Weighing Down Bed for Winter

    How a friend did it.....put his spare in the bed, then added loose sand, threw in a shovel, forgot about it. then it rained, then it froze....then he got a flat. Lucky he was close to home, and his neighbor had a spare spare so he could get into a heated garage.......

    "Raised Ride Height" on build sheet?

    The 20" tires on the 2014 2wd I used to have were the same height as 17", it even had a 17" spare. It is the width of the 20" that creates a problem if you use them on a truck that came with 17". The front tires might rub the fenderwell. My 2017 4x4 has 17", my son's 2018 4x4 has 20". His...
