    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    @Jeepwalker - great tips, thanks. I would definitely buy that software/hardware to access the OBD. I have lift in my garage and all the tools, been wrenching many years. Hot rodding too. @Jas34 - nice tips, I concur with it all. I gave up on that 2017 truck in my first post. Looking at a 2020...

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    I've been looking (off and on) for a few months. Currently driving an '03 Silverado 1500, which has been the best truck of my life (73 years old now). I love the old girl and have upgraded just about everything in her, but rust is doing her in. I've driven some new and used GMC and Chevy...

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    Thanks for the reply.... Thing is: I have the money. I could write the check for $85+, then I gotta register it and pay another 7% (about $6k), so now I'm over $91k, which is pushing $100k!!! Yikes, that's insane to me. This particular used truck has everything I want, plus a few extras that I...

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    So please don't tear me up if this isn't allowed. I (or a mod) will remove the post if this is somehow against the rules. I am an old-time GM truck guy, shopping for a new/used truck and the GM stuff just isn't floating my boat any more. I'm gonna jump ship and switch brands, most likely to a...

    3 alignments later truck still pulls left and right when on sloped road

    Maybe the alignment was so bad before (you indicated inside edges of tires badly worn), that it somehow compensated for the rather typical drift in direction of road slant. Some alignments have a slight bias to the left (compensation for road crown) that partially corrects the tendency for...

    12" Killing USB memory sticks

    Buddy, I feel your pain. I use same method for playing music and audio books, loading up assorted USB sticks. I would be out of my mind pizzed off, paying a small fortune for a vehicle and having it continually mess up a very basic task. Please keep posting. I hope you can get it resolved.

    Can someone explain the "White" variations?

    Thanks... this is the kind of info I'm looking for. Figuring out what's up with the "whites" is somewhat confusing. I think you're saying the most dramatic and pearly/metallic white paint would be the Ivory tri-coat, is that correct? Again, this is much appreciated.

    Can someone explain the "White" variations?

    Thanks, I've been looking at a few 4th Gens too. That's where I came up with the five variants. Thanks again.

    Can someone explain the "White" variations?

    Looking at a new (or maybe lightly used) Ram 1500. I'm kinda leaning to a White truck.... BUT ..... I want only the metallic White, which makes the paint look deep. Much nicer IMHO. I don't want the plain White. I've been looking online at a bunch of trucks and I have already seen FIVE...

    GM driver, looking at new Ram 1500, should I?

    I've been a loyal GM guy for many years. Currently driving a wonderful '03 Silverado 1500 that runs and drives like new, but the rust (salted roads) is unstoppable. I actually looked at GM trucks (new and used) during COVID, but was not impressed. Many trucks only a few years old already had...

    Why is email addy from this forum showing as "S197Forum"??

    Thanks gents. I really appreciate the comments and help. It's been an interesting little issue. @Griffin, good luck with that "bit of process". I truly appreciate the Forums you guys run. I solved the original 'problem' by simply removing S197 Forum from my Thunderbird contacts list. Now I am...

    Why is email addy from this forum showing as "S197Forum"??

    [email protected] is in my Whitelist for the S197 Forum. I will also Whitelist the Dodge Forum, but it will be the same sender. Interesting that the two separate Forums are using the same email addy. I would have 'assumed' a distinct forum would have a distinct email, but what do I know...

    Why is email addy from this forum showing as "S197Forum"??

    Thanks, I actually switched to another email addy, and the notification of your reply came through with no problem, it did not get filtered into the 'Junk' folder. However, even with the new email addy (from a totally separate server), it still says your email notification came from...

    What interior is this? The pic says '23

    Does it say "Cattle Tan & Black" on your window sticker?

    Why is email addy from this forum showing as "S197Forum"??

    Many thanks, I kinda suspected there was some relationship between the forums. And somehow, Thunderbird is detecting it. I will try one of my other email addy's and see if the issue goes away. I will update this thread after a trial. Thanks again. I've never seen this behavior before. I should...

    What interior is this? The pic says '23

    What is this interior called?? The pic labeled it as a 2023 interior, but they did not specify the name. Anyone know if this is available in a new 2024? Thanks

    Why is email addy from this forum showing as "S197Forum"??

    I'm a new member on this forum. I love & use Thunderbird as my email client. Like many folks, I have a bunch of email addy's. I have a strange issue with email coming from this forum. Thunderbird filters it as 'Junk' every single time, no matter what I do. I have not been able to bypass that...

    Is this steering wheel heated all the way around?

    Ahh, thanks for that info. I'm shocked (pleasantly) about the real wood.

    Is this steering wheel heated all the way around?

    Thanks . .... Are your steering wheels similar to the one in the pic, with the plastic faux wood portion at the top?

    Is this steering wheel heated all the way around?

    New poster here. I've been a GM guy for 50 years, but looking to try a Dodge for a change. I'm looking at this 2017 1500 Laramie Longhorn to purchase, and the steering wheel is heated. Is that upper portion (the light-colored fake wood) heated?? Or is it just the portion below that that's...
