    Need Insurance For 3500. State Farm Premium Has Skyrocketed.

    I recently changed from Allstate to Liberty Mutual and saved me $400 just recently. Up for renewal right now and my price hasnt even increased, while Allstate would have been up another $300. Want your price to stay uniform? DONT USE THOSE TRACKING APPS TO LOWER YOUR INSURANCE. Keep that garbage...

    Need info on towing a car long distance

    yeah thats pretty much the only reason why I have the car still...its the rusty pile and really not worth saving, but I bought it in Michigan and moving back there and dont want the truck to be in the same boat. I really dont want to put miles on the truck towing the car either.....I dunno, I...

    Need info on towing a car long distance

    Ive towed the car once before with my truck but that was just across town. Honestly, Im more worried if I should because, though I forgot to mention, that even though its a 2022 Ive less than 14k miles on the odometer. Its still technically not even broken in yet.

    Need info on towing a car long distance

    Thats the plan, but Im also debating whether or not towing the junker is worth it or not. Dolly is way cheaper though, but not really sure of other benefits from using it.

    Need info on towing a car long distance

    Still debating, but most likely a drive on trailer and not a dolly.

    Need info on towing a car long distance

    I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 2.7l that Im going to need to tow from St Louis to upper Michigan and interested in knowing if it would be feasible to do so with my Big Horn.

    Buying back grandpaws truck

    Just get your grandpas truck. 4500 bucks is easy enough to recoup in this economy, but a family heirloom is priceless. I wish I had some stuff from my grandpa, dont pass something that big up. If need be, ask your grandpa if he would be ok with taking payments over a small period of time first...

    Repair or Replace

    Find a dealership that has an autobody repair. Talk to the manager of the shop...or talk to one of the salesmen inside the dealership and ask if they know a business that does paintless dent repair. They should have a guy that comes out to repair vehicles that get hit by hail damage or pulls...

    Would you run Michelins anymore? Or any tire that uses recycled plastic?

    Having worked both aviation and heavy maintenance, I can tell you that 100% of those tires are reusable. Pretty much all a retreaded tire is.

    Need an opinion on trading

    Most places Ive shopped at put the taxes in the final price of the vehicle and put tags on the truck before I run out the door. That wasnt the case here and I thought it very well was when I went to go get tags the first time. Never had to pay that kind of money towards tags ever in my life up...

    Need an opinion on trading

    Its sustainable for me since its just me and the dogs. VA disability helps a lot, they cover all of my medical expenses, dental, stuff like that. You live like I do currently, all you have to pay is rent, utilities and food. The truck is basically the only bill I have thats excess for me.

    Need an opinion on trading

    Little update: took the truck to the dealership I bought it from a year ago. Just out of curiosity, asked how much they would offer to buy it from me. Their offer: you'd still owe us 2700 bucks. Best we can do is take it on trade, give you a discount or rebate towards the new vehicle and "see"...

    Can anyone recommend projector/LED headlights for a 5th gen that came with halogens?

    Question - if you have halogens and you swap over to projector LEDs, are they plug and play or do you have to install a few other things like ballast first? Looking to replace mine as well, but this has been gnawing on me for a while.

    Need an opinion on trading

    No house for me, I have to live the apartment life. Ive lived the last 6 years in 7 different states and honestly, Ive had more than enough. Ive had to pick up everything I own and move it all from Georgia to Alaska, to Michigan afterwards, then West Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri...my doc says I...

    Need an opinion on trading

    Its already blue, theres not many -if any- aftermarket choices for replacing Uconnect, and if there were its well over 3k alone to do. Thats just replacing the Uconnect system as a whole, not including speakers and what not. Another reason why Im not loving these new vehicles: auto makers...

    Need an opinion on trading

    I have 2 vehicles; one beat up '07 300 2.7L and the truck. Ive only had one ticket since 2017 and that was just a stop sign. My credit is getting better, yet it just keeps getting more and more expensive here in St Louis to insure people (from what they tell me) so they have to jack the price up...

    Need an opinion on trading

    Im only 45; I can give work another 6 months before I split, but Id rather not. Im already in deep with this truck, best I can do is minimize the damage. Id rather not lose out on the 30k Ive already lost in this truck, but Im also more interested in the middle ground where I get the best of...

    Need an opinion on trading

    No I havent made my mind up, thats why Im asking. Currently I bring home 100k a year, but retirement gives me 40k to live off of. Between the vehicle, rent, insurance and everything else, doesnt leave me with much at the end of the month. My vehicle payment + insurance is almost 1200 a month...

    Need an opinion on trading

    I still owe like 36k towards it. Had it less than a year, its close to halfway paid off. I put the truck on Vroom just to see what kind of offer I would get for it, that was their offer. Im assuming the dealership would do something similar.

    Need an opinion on trading

    I have to admit, I dont really care for these new rams; this Uconnect software that controls everything relevant to your vehicle - mirrors, hazards, air conditioning, radio...all it takes is just one thing to go bad and you lose everything. I dont like being forced to buy Mopar and have Mopar...

    2019 leveled bighorn tire size?

    275's are stock for the 20" rims so it doesnt really leave you many options there. I have 305/55's on mine with 11" width and they look small on mine. If you're looking for a thinner tire, try 295/50's.

    Need an opinion on trading

    Its not the fact that I dont like the truck, its the fact that I need to retire soon and Im trying to save more money in the long run. Essentially Im asking if its worth doing. I also know that the dealerships going to mark it right back up to around the sticker price I bought it for; most...

    Just arrived

    Nothing you really can do to get the interior more comfortable unless you want to install next gen stuff. Im fairly certain you can get the next gen seats to fit (at least the front seats anyways), but thats about it. Maybe getting some katzkin leather upgrades which is worth it IMO. As for Hp...
