    Vibrating at 80mph

    I had a vibration on my 2016 as well. Started with balancing. It helped but did not fix it. I took the plunge of getting rid of my Goodyear tires and going with Michelin's. That took care of my problem. Tire people said they have seen several "egg shaped" Goodyear's. If that fails, you...

    AlfaOBD

    A bit off topic, but I had to ask. As I understand we can program a FOBIK for the Ram using AlphaOBD and OBDLink MX providing we have the PIN code from a dealer. We can program up to 4 FOBIK's for a Ram. I just want a spare to leave with a friend. Question is will I be able to program a FOBIK...

    EcoDiesel Oil Filter preference question

    I have a 2016 1500 with the EcoDiesel. I have read through the forums here looking for what everyone's preference is for manufacturer oil filters. The choices are plenty, but I also know that many are made by a few companies and sold under a different name. What are your picks?

    Hmmm .. Need to investigate this. Have the chrome mirrors on my Big Horn. That is an option I wish I had. I always back in to a parking spot and that would be so convenient. Damm I love this forum. It is better than reading a newspaper!!! Cheers Peter

    Need a CB guru

    Knightinraggedarmor I had an amateur radio in a different car with a similar problem. A quick fix would be to take some wire, the same size as your power wire or bigger (14 AWG) and wrap it neatly around a 3 or 4 inch nail (try it with 10 - 20 ft). Tape it so it doesn't unravel. Put it in...

    It is all good. One practice with a scrap piece of metal will make you confident enough to conquer the world. I will be spending time tomorrow on the truck, so I will let you know if it works out.
