    Talk me out of a TRX!

    OP, do you have a garage to keep it in? Do you live in an area that has a lot of stolen vehicles? TRX, Hellcat Challengers & Chargers, HC Durangos are on that list. I’ve never been paranoid about it till I got my HellCat. Where you be taking it and leaving it parked when in use? Not trying to be...

    Damn near fell over laughing

    Those gadgets remind me of stuff you’d see in a J.C.Whitney catalog many years ago. ( Yes, at one time, I just couldn’t “google” stuff on the internet! ) Oh yeah, don’t forget those deer whistles for the front end of your car/truck.

    Uconnect 5 Nav 12" Dealer Mode

    When I purchased a new ‘23 Challenger a couple of months ago I had no navigation and I wasn’t able to use any of the Uconnect services through the app. While I had my car at a local Dodge dealer to get it diagnosed, the tech put the radio into dealer mode. I was sitting in the passenger seat...

    1 gal. Of gasoline in 28 gal diesel performance increase.

    Going back to the ‘70s/80s, I worked for a construction company in eastern PA. I ran the equipment and also hauled trailer loads of fuel for our storage tanks. Around September/early October, we would blend 25% kerosene with the diesel fuel/heating oil. ( those days it was the same, just no road...

    1 gal. Of gasoline in 28 gal diesel performance increase.

    Adding the gasoline will more than likely eventually cost you a new fuel system when your HPFP grenades. So save those couple of dollars, you’ll need thousands later.

    Best Hard Retractable Bed Cover

    I have had a Retrax Power Pro on my ‘15 Ram 1500 with the 6.5’ Rambox. It was switched over to 3 other trucks till I bought my 5th Gen 2022. I had to get a new Retrax for that truck because I had to get the 5.5’ Rambox. No issues with the first one, so I opted for another Power Pro from Retrax.

    Navigation System Calibration Required

    Like Wildone said, I put an address about a mile away at a gas station. I used to put my actual home address, but with so much thievery going on, it’s a little more piece of mind.

    Where & When Will Service Manual Info Be Available For A 2022 RAM 1500?

    I used to buy the big service books when I’d buy a new truck/car. I still have some from years ago. Although I haven’t looked for quite a few years now, the last time I looked, I couldn’t find anything in print. Only CDs which seemed to replace the printed books. Also found you could buy online...

    4 Digit PIN - 2022 Ram 4x4 Hemi etc etc..

    When I got my ‘22 Longhorn this past January, I asked my dealer ( service manager/owner ) about the 4 digit pin. He said that there is no 4 digit pin anymore with the 2022 model year. He said that there is only a rolling code now and it must be done through Chrysler/Wi-Tec now. When I purchased...

    Air Suspension - who knew?

    I have a 2022 Longhorn with the air ride. It only has the 4 levels because I ordered the “off-road” option. The normal is 1” higher than the normal on the regular non-off road set up. I usually drive around in aero-mode, but when I am feeling big, I usually run in normal! One thing I found out...

    Max Care

    The last Max Care warranty I purchased was right before my original warranty was up. No issue, just ponied up the $$ and done. I inquired about if I was passed the basic 3/36,000 warranty, and I was told that the truck would need to be inspected and certified by a dealership first. If there was...

    Buying advise please...
