    Truck is paid off, now your advice is needed for the fun mods

    I paid off my ram in May, now I want to have a bit more fun with it making it my own. It's a 2013 longhorn with air suspension so my suspension options are a bit limited. I am very interested in a bed cover, either bakflip or retrax, and maybe a bull bar with some better fog lights. My...

    Unconnect Software Upgrade now backup camera issues

    I upgraded my uconnect system on Friday and now when I put my truck in reverse, the backup camera has a super washed out look. Like the brightness setting is way too high. Interestingly, when I first start up the truck it looks fine, wait 5 seconds, and it's washed out. Is this a setting or is...

    Truck Oil Life Computer, 3 months in

    A while back I changed my stock Dino oil to Pennzoil Platinum, and kept it at 5w20 using a NAPA gold filter. That was 3K miles ago, and today I checked my EVIC for oil life remaining and it indicated I have 71% remaining...that's a 10K oil change interval in my book. I will likely still...

    What color should the oil in my catch can be?

    After the first 1k miles the fluid looked just like motor oil (light brown), I just emptied it after another 1600 miles and it looked like chocolate milk...normal? I also noticed my hands smelled like gas, so could the blow by include a bit of gas?

    A first "Ah ha" moment with my truck

    My ram is my first pick-up ever, so I have been sharing my "firsts" with this crowd for a little laugh. Today on the drive into work I pulled in the parking deck and the concrete was wet due to the fog and rain we have been having. I took the first turn to go up the next level and hit the gas...

    How does the oil life feature work?

    On my EVIC there is the oil life remaining function...I have driven 1k miles since the last oil change and my life meter shows 91% remaining. Does this thing work based on solely mileage or does it somehow monitor the quality of the oil?

    Factory Warranty Pricing and Options

    Hi all I did not buy the factory extended warranty at the time of purchase because I know I can buy it from any dealership, and often they will compete based on price. When I owned my Lexus, there were a few dealers that just about everyone used for the warranty purchase given the price they...

    First catch can experience...400 miles

    Tonight I pulled the truck out and unscrewed the catch can...that bugger is hard for me to reach, but then again I am the guy who uses a swiffer to help polish the truck. I got it out and it had the bottom of the can covered, my guess is that it was a tablespoon of oil in there. Next I...

    Am I being overly picky about the "orange peel" paint?

    oops..."picky" not "icky" My truck has lots, I mean lots, of orange peel...everywhere. I mentioned this a few times, politely, on the Ram survey. Today I got a call from Ram and they are going to try to do what they can to make it right. I would imagine they could re-spray the entire truck...
