    Truck of the month

    I have been there. I still don't see any place to actually vote. The only active places I can find simply tell me WHO has voted for a particular truck.

    COE truck?

    This one solves the problem of engine heat beside the driver. I liked it's personalized license plate, BUTUGLY. The bed has a hydraulic lift and when it is lowered, the engine fits within a cutout hole in the bed.

    What's your go-to miter saw?

    A couple of years ago I got the 12" Dewalt sliding compound miter saw on a killer sale at Lowe's for $299, and then got my 10% VA discount on top of that. I am totally happy with it. It easily paid for itself cutting crown molding and baseboards. I expect it to last my lifetime as well as my...

    Belltech 2/4 drop rubbing??

    I see that you are from Mississippi. You have the ultimate test for lowered vehicles in Jackson. Just drive I-20 from Clinton to the 49 South exit at the posted speed limit. If you have no problems with that, you are golden. I drove a slammed Chevy Astro thu that stretch of hiway and ground...

    What did you say when you saw your truck for the first time?

    Hey, go around the block. I want to get a better look at that.

    The one linked by DILLIGAF looks like a Gen 3, but it is still full of some VERY useful info.

    what recovery gear carry?

    Cell phone, cash and credit card. I like my RAM too much to take it anywhere that would justify anything else.

    Ram in 3rd Place in Consumer Reports' Satisfaction Survey

    Do a search on "sunk cost fallacy" and it will help you understand why Tesla owners responded the way they did. They can't publicly admit that their politically biased purchase decision might not have been the best decision from a practical standpoint.

    How to get the most useable headlights, period.

    Every light in my house is LED, but they are all a much warmer color temperature and the lighting is comfortable to live with. By comparison, LED flashlights seem harsh. I had a major life event that limited me to LED flashlights for any lighting I needed. It was surprising to learn how...

    Snow Covered Thursday

    Yes, there is snow in my driveway. In 60 days it will be late April, and winter will have been forgotten. 28 MONTHS ago hurricane Michael hit Panama City. There are still a lot of homes and businesses that have not been repaired there. Hurricanes aren't as easy to recover from as a little...

    Switching to 87 octane?

    You are correct. It is actually the compression that is increased to cause the knock. Thanks for the good catch. It has been over 30 years since I worked in the refinery and sometimes I am grateful to remember my own name.:)

    Switching to 87 octane?

    Actually, octane is a BAD thing. Refineries maintain a laboratory to test their products. The lab has a small gasoline engine, called a knock engine. The gasoline being tested is used to run the engine. The lab technician slowly introduces octane into the mixture until the engine starts to...

    List up the vehicles you've owned over the years

    It would probably crash the server if I listed them all. I have a Hemi RAM now and that is all that matters.

    Pros and Cons of Anti-Slip Rear Diff

    On a 2wd, If you are on a surface that slopes to the side, if you lose traction, the entire rear of the vehicle will tend to slide to the downhill side. As long as you are aware of this problem and adjust your driving to account for it, the positives of LSD far outweigh this one negative.

    Do you keep a tab of how much you have spent on mods for your RAM?

    Why would I want to keep tabs on my truck expenditures? That would be a buzzkill.

    Truck Industry History Question

    '67 goat got about 12 mpg. '70 goat got 13 mpg. Maybe jacking it up with air shocks wasn't as effective as the way they do it now. Actually, air shocks sound like a good idea to me, but I don't think anybody makes them any more.
