    Do I/we have a Dodge Ram vs RAM vs Dodge Truck?

    Ram became its own brand several years ago. Therefore, no more Dodge Ram, only Ram 1500, 2500, etc.

    Facelifted 2025 Ram 1500 Gets an Unofficial Presentation Displaying Several Ritzy Colors

    The worst thing that could have happened to true truck guys is trucks becoming trendy/popular with yuppies (and I'm not knocking their choices in vehicles, rather stating a fact). The extra demand for vehicles and the demand for high end creature comforts (which is still relatively new in the...

    Facelifted 2025 Ram 1500 Gets an Unofficial Presentation Displaying Several Ritzy Colors

    I understand your mindset, but a properly maintained boat, barring an accident, should last a minimum of 25 years. My boat is a 1998 and looks and runs as good as new--but it takes work to keep it looking and performing well. But I'll tell you, if you think truck prices are out of control, don't...

    Detroit Axle Brakes

    Has anyone used Detroit Axle pads/rotors on your truck and if so how do they perform? And do they produce a lot of dust? I plan to buy a boat next spring and want to increase stopping power a bit. I was online window shopping and came across a Detroit Axle rotor and pad kit for all for...

    Do I need to install a leveling kit?

    Thanks.

    Do I need to install a leveling kit?

    I want to run 33x12.5's on my 2014 4X4. I've heard that's pretty much the biggest tire you can run without a leveling kit if you have the "right" offset. My question is, what is the "right" offset on 22x10 wheels that won't rub and won't require any trimming? Can I make it work without a lift kit?

    Tires past fender flares or even?

    I love your attitude about your truck.

    WANTED: black Sport wheels

    I was going to go with chrome because I love them on the white truck but decided to black-out instead. Thanks for the info.

    Cold air intake

    If you just want to add a little more grunt for towing I would suggest a good set of headers. They will give you real torque gains in the RPM band that you will actually be driving your truck when towing. Nothing against CAI's (I have one on my truck) but the gains you get from them are are...

    It looks like all the work was well done and not a hack job. Nice truck!

    Switching to 87 octane?

    Exactly! Compression ratio is far more important in determining what octane rating to use than the number of cylinders. As someone else already said, modern computer-controlled engines have knock sensors to retard timing in order to combat knocking and pinging. I've run 87 exclusively in both...

    What do y’all think the dealer will/should say?

    Agreed. If it's the wheel that was installed when purchased new they should cover it.

    What do y’all think the dealer will/should say?

    I think they should replace/repair the wheel. What I believe is they will tell you you're SOL since it isn't the OEM wheel.

    If you could have ANY truck, what would it be.

    A lifted 73-87 GMC long bed like the one in the 80's tv show "The Fall Guy" except in black or red.

    Single cabs galore at the dealership today.

    That was kinda my point. I guess I didn't do a good job expressing it. If I want to order a truck I should be able to pick whatever options they offer. If a customer is willing to pay the ransom for a special ordered rig with customized options it makes no sense that they can't. Sounds...

    Trying to join the ramily again

    Good luck! I always was a Chevy guy. While I still like their products, I can't see myself driving anything but Ram trucks. Ever since my '02 QC I have only owned Rams. Welcome back to the Ramily!

    Single cabs galore at the dealership today.

    I don't like when manufacturers try to tell the customers what they want. I need a crew cab but those who want regular cabs shouldn't be limited to certain trim levels. You would think Ram (and other manufacturers) would listen to its customer base instead of forcing the customer base to...

    Single cabs galore at the dealership today.

    It almost seems like a century ago when regular cab/long bed was the norm. They are so rare these days as most regular cabs are short beds which itself used to be rare though not unheard of. As a teen in the 80's I dreamed of having a lifted bowtie SCLB truck. Those were the days...
