    Why cant I get the Headlight to come out of 2013 Ram 1500 ?

    I've taken mine out of my 17 without removing the grill. It was a female dog though. I have a grill guard now, so forget about it.

    Which tire?

    I really like my Cooper ATs. If I was rich I would use Michelin.

    Like he said, in 73 my Hemi Roadrunner was worth $835.

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    My wife is one of those that, when she sees something she wants, she announces it loudly.

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    I have a 17 QC with V6. Second one and no issues at all. I'm at 80k on this one. The other was 88k when it was totaled. If I had to buy a truck today, it would be a Ford Maverick or preferably a 50s-70s restored regular cab. There are lots of them out there.

    The cruise control doesn't save gas. You can do better with your foot if you want the best milage. If you don't want to concentrate on milage, use the cruise m

    Think I might crash

    It's amazing how I'm still alive after my teens and early 20s. When I was 15, I worked with a woman who ferried fighter planes in World War 2, and she was with Joey Chitwoods Daredevils in the late 50s and early 60s. She taught me how to drive on 2 wheels and I did it often for a couple of...

    greasin that hitch

    I want one of those medieval war club hitches to keep people off my butt. I will spray it orange so it can't be missed.

    MPG effect of Leveling Kit

    I would like to bring my front end up 1.5 inches because I have a Ranch Hand grill guard and it scrapes on some speed bumps and dips. I have lost 4mpg already with 10 ply AT tires, grill guard, Ranch Hand back bumper, and ARE topper. I doubt it would make a difference in mileage, but the expense...

    2025 Toyota 4runner Trailhunter

    Motor Trend never saw a new vehicle they didn't like. You do know that the factories bid for the Truck of the Year Award, right? Yeah, I've heard Toyota's are great. I drove a couple and I didn't like them. I would have liked them much less after 250k miles. You want a box that you haven't...

    New grill 1 vs 2

    I see all kinds of really ugly grills these days, but I figure if it's on a 4wd that is being used as a 4wd, it makes sense. Especially if the truck is black or white. I don't see them on pretty trucks. A lot of trucks here have deer catchers so it doesn't matter either way for those.

    greasin that hitch

    In Texas you just assume that there's something sticking out of the hitch. 90% stay loaded all the time, even in the cities. However, I'm going to remove mine now, because that's the kind of thoughtful person I am.

    Camping 2024

    We just took a trip to Missouri in our 2017 with the 3.6. We have Ranch Hand grill guard and back bumper and a 250 pound ARE shell. Averaged 21.6 mpg. About 1200 miles and $180 in gasoline. Just go.

    Hurricane durability questions?

    I understand that they have been used for several years in BMWs. Not that I find that promising. I would wait.

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    I have had 2 trucks with the Pentastar V6, which most here turn their noses up at. They have been perfect, with much more power than the 360 Ford I had that would pull anything. More power and 21.5 miles per gallon on the last vacation. The new engines are getting rave reviews. I'm just waiting...

    Well, I haven't had any of those issues with mine. Of course I didn't get the wrong engine and radio.

    Does anyone know if you can add a factory trailer brake controller?

    I put mine in, 70 years old so it took an hour. About 30 minutes to program it because I wasn't that familiar with AlfaOBD.

    Does anyone know if you can add a factory trailer brake controller?

    I don't agree. It hits the knee area. Factory is the best.

    Remove your bed to cab seal asap!

    I have been driving Ram trucks for 11 years and I have had zero issues. I don't get excited about stuff like this. I think Ram knows how to build a truck by now. I regret getting rid of every one I have had. I got rid of my 85 Ramcharger because there was a whine in the diff and I have kicked...

    Why should I stay with RAM?

    There are so many personal issues in your post that no one can really advise you. I personally don't like to drive Fords, but that's my preference. My niece has the Ford 7.3 and they haul their huge travel trailer all over the country with no issues.
