    Odd Dash Symbol...

    Evening ya'll. Earlier today I started up my '09 1500, 2 wheel drive, 5.9l automatic; and this symbol came on the dash. Hadn't driven it in a couple days. I looked through the owners manual, and I didn't see this symbol at all. So, I figured I'd give you all a crack at it. I dunno what it means...

    Heartland Mallard vs. Keystone Passport...

    I doubt this would be the proper location for this subject, so if the mods want to move it, I understand. I'm on the cusp of buying a travel trailer that I'll be towing with my 09 1500 QCSB. I'm torn between the Heartland Mallard M245 and the Keystone Passport 2400. The biggest difference is...

    Fuel Overflow at end of Filling Up

    Hey ya'll, I've been dealing with fuel overflow at quite a few gas stations recently. It start off only happening at Sam's Club gas stations, but now seems to happen everywhere. I've changed the angle of the gas hose, I've slowed the rate of fuel going into the tank, all to no avail. I've had...

    UltraLuster Waterless Car Wash...

    Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? It sounds like a good idea, but it also seems to good to be true. It sounds like you just spray it, rub it in, then buff it off, and its supposed to leave a hard shine that's acrylic and "feels wet"? UltraLuster Waterless Car Wash and Polish...

    Can chrome grille be painted to match the body?

    I got an '09 Sport (Sunburst Orange) that unfortunately came with the chrome grille. I want the grille to be body color like the Sports of old and new. I plasti-dipped my grille black about 6-9 months ago. Recently, I was at the dealership, and ordered some touch up paint. I was surprised when I...

    Stock Radio Time...

    Is it just my truck, or does anyone else's clock on the radio move fast? I could understand a clock that runs slow (non-digital), but my clock runs consistently fast. I always like to keep my clock 10 minutes fast, that way I'm hardly ever late. But I had to reset my clock 4 weeks ago cause it...

    Stock Key Fob Battery Replacement

    Hello all, Does anyone know how to open the stock key fobs? I do think see any area for screws, and I'm afraid of just "splitting" it open. My Fob doesn't always like to unlock the doors unless I'm standing right next to the truck, and even then it's "hit or miss"...

    Steering Wheel Swap?

    Hey all, I was wondering during if it was possible (plug and play) to swap out the newer steering wheel with the cruise control on the front to replace the steering wheel in my '09 1500? Reason being, I really hate having the cruise control on its own Co tool arm, especially since it moves...

    So, as the title says, I had some extra time today after work. Had a few cans of Plasti-Dip laying around. Been planning of getting rid of the chrome on my truck. So, figured I'd take the grille off, and hit it a few times. Ended up putting 4 cars on it. It's not the end quality I want, but...

    Wimpy Horn - Replacement?

    Hey ya'll, After driving the truck for about 3 weeks now, Ive noticed that horn sounds kinda wimpy. The horn in my old '97 sounded like a "man's" horn. I'm actually kinda embarrassed to hit the horn now. Is this the standard sound for horns on the newer trucks, or has the "life" of my horn...
