FYI on Stellantis’ new data mining and sale company, Mobilisights, and opt out information
Out of curiosity, how old of a RAM would I need to not be concerned about this tracking? Does it more affect vehicles that have the touch screen displays, versus the regular stereo / CD players? Nope, still haven't got one, as one vehicle is working for us for now, but I do have a soft spot...- Sluff Track

1 gal. Of gasoline in 28 gal diesel performance increase.
Thanks for coming back and updating us. I was curious about the outcome of your test, and hope nothing detrimental has come of it. Driving a gasoline (Buick Century) vehicle, I picked up on adding 2 cycle oil with TC-W3 for lubrication from the oil threads here, so I wanted to know what...- Sluff Track

Oil Filter Thread
More oil filter testing from "BRAND RANKS" on Youtube. He has re-done the test setup for better and repeatable results. He tested WIX XP, Purolator Boss, Napa Platinum and Royal Purple. These are some of the best ones to test, IMHO. Engineers Test the Most Popular Oil Filters Now, for all of...- Sluff Track

Synthetic Oil
For stripping paint, has anyone tried brake fluid? I used that to strip the paint off model trains for re-painting. Don't have a spare around to try it on at this time, though. Jim- Sluff Track

Does anyone else but me think there are way too many electronics in today's vehicles?
I was thinking along the lines of the engine and transmission control modules, those don't need WIFI, bluetooth or anything else. I do enjoy how easy to start, maintain, and how clean smog wise, my current 1998 vehicle is. I don't want to go so far back that I need to re-jet the carbs or do...- Sluff Track

Does anyone else but me think there are way too many electronics in today's vehicles?
I agree about too many electronics in vehicles these days. Just saw a report that riding in a Tesla is equivalent to sitting in front of a microwave oven one to two feet away. While the microwave is only on for a minute or two at a time, people could spend hours in their cars on long trips...- Sluff Track

Before or After Poll
At 7500 miles, I would want to eliminate the little voice in my mind saying "should I have changed it?". However, I would try get it done a week or more before so I can verify things are operating as they should be. I wouldn't want to get on the road to find my filter wasn't tight or I didn't...- Sluff Track

How can i get better gas mileage
Has anyone heard about or tried "AIRTABS"? They are also known as vortex generators, sometimes seen on semi trucks and trailers. The idea is to break up the trailing wind which sucks on the back of the vehicle. I have seen a few youtube vids on them and they seem to get good reviews...- Sluff Track

Is This an Issue in the Engine Bay?
I have looked at photos of other 2009's that have pics of the engine bay. It looks like a cover, possibly plastic, was removed and not installed. The other pics show two items up against the firewall. I am curious about how this vehicle looks like this, but not enough to talk to the dealer.- Sluff Track

Is This an Issue in the Engine Bay?
I am interested in this 2009 1500. The firewall, or the back of the engine bay, seems to have exposed insulation. Is this normal for this year Dodge Ram truck? Are there specific repairs that might explain this condition? Any concerns or opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for...- Sluff Track

Yowza!! $1700 brakes?
Thanks to the current hike in prices, I feel justified in building up my tool collection to perform my own maintenance. I used to do stuff like change the oil and sparkplugs, tune up and simple things, when I was younger and had my dad's tools to use. Then, I got used to taking it to the...- Sluff Track

Zip code for build
How far away are you talking? I just tried to price and build at RAMTRUCKS.COM with a 2022 blue Power Wagon, level 3 and RAMBOXES. I entered my home zip (Irvine, CA) and Phoenix AZ, and the retail was the same. I would probably ask the dealer you want to work with what they would recommend...- Sluff Track

Nope, no subscription service for me. I don't even have that from Microsoft, their Office 365. I keep my older machine that has the older program. Jim- Sluff Track
