    What do you always have in your truck?

    Breaker bar, blankets, extra oil, machete, jumper cables, bungee’s, rope, storage tub, multi-tool, some hand tools and several knives. I guess I need to add a few more things. In NJ it’s illegal for us to even look at a handgun. Fker’s.

    Is it worth it?

    I have always gone with 89 in order for the truck to perform properly. I personally think 91-92 is for performance driven and tow vehicles only. I can say that the ethanol mix crap causes a significant drop in mpg; 12.9-13.1 vs 15.9-16.2. How the hell is that conserving fuel!

    Horrible headlights….

    Simple enough but doesn’t anyone make an exact fit? Which of the many manufacturers makes a “better “ bulb? I use an OPT7 in my Harley.

    Horrible headlights….

    I have a 2012 Laramie CC with those sorry ass quad headlights. I would love to switch out the bulbs especially the low beams. Can anyone tell me what bulbs I have and what is a good replacement?????

    Oil filter fell off!!

    Hmmm, either my son or I do my oil changes but I too have experienced severely loosened oil filters. Perhaps there is another reason for them coming loose???

    It Was a Good Run, But I'm Done

    When something is shoved at me/us like they are doing with EV I automatically step back. There’s always an angle that benefits them, not us. In this case I refuse to bite. I will never buy an EV, never. Electric companies will just become the new oil companies. They got you by the balls either way.

    It Was a Good Run, But I'm Done

    Everyone has to do what is best for them and what is best today will likely not be best tomorrow. I have done well with my RAM but if I could I would like to downsize because of my health and fuel costs. New trucks are simply much too expensive and I refuse to pay for them.

    I'm out!

    Try a Credit Union, if you are a member. If not, join one if you can. Good luck and I don’t blame you for backing off.

    Avoid Cooper Tires Especially Discoverer at3

    I am out on both Goodyear and Firestone. Currently running Cooper AT3’s with zero problems with this set. First set was replaced under warranty because of sidewall cracks. Tires were within 1 month of being out of warranty and Cooper replaced all 4 at a cost of just over $300. Can’t complain so far.

    What is this?

    I see in your picture a house across the street and I said damn that looks exactly like a South Jersey house and then checked your bio and damn if I wasn’t right.

    MSRP vs Purchase Price for a 2023 RAM 2500

    These prices are exactly why I will drive my Laramie until the wheels fall off. A fellow professional I used to worked with was known to say that “I may have been born at night, just not last night “.

    5w30 Liqui Moly and Warranty

    I doubt that should you use PUP 5-30 oil anyone could prove it lead to a motor malfunction although I totally distrust the factory and dealer. That said I use PUP 5-30 and have used liqui-moly in the past but there has always been the slightest start up tick. I no longer use it only because it...

    2014 1500 gas tank strap and frame rusted out

    I have a letter somewhere that states that the gas tank strap warranty was extended to 12 years from purchase but that not all Vin’s qualify. I suggest mentioning that to the Ram dealer.

    Oil Filter Thread

    Every place that I have checked says that the 20-500 does not fit the 2012 Ram 5.7 but don’t know why. Threads should be the same so why are they saying it won’t fit?

    RP 20-820 are gone, what do I do now?

    I am not much of a mechanic anymore but I can finish out a house and draw the plans. I worked at 2 different Olds dealerships back in the 70’s but things were different then. Since I’ve been a part of the Ram Forum I have learned that if you require information and details about oil, just...

    Royal Purple 20-820 no longer made?

    Been wondering what was going on. I’ve never used anything else on my Ram. I guess it’s time to move on from RP. I’m not beholden to a company that doesn’t have the curtesy to respond to consumer inquiries.

Got caught in the face with shrapnel on Okinawa. Me, got 4F from both the Army and USAF. I am a member of the American Legion Riders and...

    A Lot of Weird Service Suggestions?

    Since brake fluid seems to be a topic of current discussion I will ask “what brand brake fluid is considered best?” There are many different brands.

    Your other vehicle

    My ride is a 2012 Ram Laramie CC but when I’m healthy and it’s warm enough it’s my 2004 Harley RK Custom. Because of the current gasoline prices I/we are using my wife’s Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Nice car. We had hoped to get a new vehicle but with the present economy and shortages we are staying...

    Oil pan corrosion

    Interesting how the dozens of vehicles I’ve owned over time never had this issue. Hmmmm

    Oil pan corrosion

    Most likely the cause and one that requires better planning and quality oversight by the manufacturer. Now the consumer is forced to make repairs. Still, I need to find an acceptable replacement.
