    My 3.7 is burning 3 qts every 10k miles, should I bother w oil changes?

    I have a 3.7L v6 w 196k miles on it. Takes 5 quarts of 5w30 I buy the 20k oil but I change it every 10k or less. It consumes 3 quarts every 10k miles. At that rate of adding oil, should I even bother with oil changes since a new quart is coming in every 3k miles?

    Anyone own a charger 4wd?

    I'm in love with the simplicity (and reliability) of my 2006 RAM 1500 V6. Thinking about getting a charger 4wd. Is it the same simple design and ease of DIY? (Perhaps not as easy to DIY as the RAM pickup but say compared to an Audi or Mustang)

    I'm going to angle grinder off the rusted portion above the rear wheels. Rather than having just plain cutout metal I was hoping to get one of those plastic arch covers that you see on the F150s, anyone know where I can get them? tia

    Anyone riding without the bed?

    Since i’m no longer hauling much of anything and think the deleted bed would look cool, aside from propping up the tail lights and filler neck, would this cause any other issues, for example not enough weight in the back (mines a rear wheel drive) etc.

    3.7L V6 Regular cab, rack & pinion, RWD, manual wobbles sometimes

    Looked up some wobble kits, none made for rack & pinion models. It comes and goes, usually within the first 30 minutes of driving then if I'm on a long trip it won't wobble for the rest of the drive. Lasts for about 15/20 minutes. Typically I can slow down or stop, then as I get back up to speed...

    Hood pull cable stuck in "open" position when below freezing

    Some play in front brake calipers within caliper bracket (while wheels off), normal?

    The RAM I recently acquired needed pads rotors and a fluid flush. I did it all this weekend. The caliper frame bolts were tight and the caliper-to-caliperframe bolts were tight as well. Yet there was some play in the caliper within the caliper frame. Is this because I pushed the pistons all...

    Any value in the plastic bed liner? (Sell or recycle)

    First time truck owner and I'm reading that the bed liners tend to trap salt/water and contribute to rusted out beds. Hence I'll remove the liner but is this something that is worth trying to find a buyer for or just toss it in the plastic recycle area?
