    Redline 5w30 oil in 6.4 report...

    Hello gents, good morning, I wanted to take a minute to give y'all a quick report on my experience with Redline 5w30 in the 6.4 hemi. I originally tried the redline 5w40, which was too heavy in my opinion and seemed to cause a delay in building initial oil pressure, especially on colder days...

    Hershey RV show

    Good morning, My wife and I attended the Hershey RV show yesterday. We had a great time. Came close to buying a new trailer, but I just couldn't spend $30k on a rig that gets used 6 times per year. It was nice though and a fun day looking and waking around. Glad I'm fully vaccinated...

    1500/V6 impressions....

    I had my truck in for warranty work this week and was given a 2018 1500/V6 as a loaner. For some reason, it stayed in eco mode no matter what I did? Manuel gears or not? It was a crew cab sport I think. No frills like my tradesman but a nice truck. Overall I felt it was a good truck...

    Towing is serious business...

    And should be treated as such. Even with the proper set up, weights checked and within specs, stuff can still happen. This video is a good reminder for all of us to be careful regardless of what your towing, take your time and double check everything before you head out. I'm just as careful...

    Check out what RAM sent me today!

    While not as nice as the other recent post, I'm still impressed by this. When i bought my Silverado, i never heard from GM again. They had my money so why bother i guess? I thought this was nice of RAM. It's not much, but it's the thought. It's a nice keychain too. - G
