    I have a 2017 Ram 1500 ST 4x4 with the 8-Speed Automatic 8HP70 Transmission. I called a local dealer for servicing the transmission (fluid change) and was told there is no service component on the transmission. The service manual says, "Change automatic transmission fluid and filter(s)...

    New Tire Day

    For the past 3 years I have been running Copper Discovery AT3 tires. I liked the tires, but they were horrible tires for wet conditions when accelerating from a stop - lots of tire slip in the rear which was problematic on the occasional rural mountain areas. After 3 years and 35k miles I had...

    Tire load range and index

    I am currently running my second set of tires but due to a belt separation issue I am looking for replacements. One thing I haven't considered is load range or index as an influence as part of recommendations, but I am now. When a tire is E rated/121, it's fully inflated load capacity is...

    I have used Super Tech 5w20 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic filter at every oil change since 9,000 miles. I'm at 61k miles at present. Grabbing oil for this last oil change, I noticed the Pennzoil 5w-30 Euro oil on the shelf. I was intrigued by the 500k mile guarantee against oil related engine...

    A bit of a confession - I haven't done a deep detail of the exterior of my truck since purchase in 2017. Normal exterior maintenance consisted of car washes as needed with the occasional quick wax. However, I was starting to notice oxidation and light scratches, and decided git'er done! There...

    10" Android Infotainment Unit Install

    About two years ago, I had popping and lost three door speaker outputs in my Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4. As I was not getting power to the speakers off the Y adaptor, I had assumed the non-factory Android head unit had a failure. To address it, I bought a 10" Android radio and a JBL 4 channel amp...

    Body bolt part #

    I am trying to add a new set of running boards on a 2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman Crew. The brackets attach to the body bolts - appear to Hex Flange with the large washer. Those washers are not removable and are too big to fit the inside the bracket. I am trying to find a part # in hopes that Mopar...

    While the rear seat was out to cleanup and correct water intrusion, I decided to make a few changes.

    Boat towing advice

    This will/maybe be our first boat, a 24' cabin cruiser with a weight of 4500#. Add in the trailer, I estimate we may be at a 5500#. Fill the gas tank, add another 250#. I have a 2017 Tradesman crew, 5.8, 3.21, 4x4 and believe the max towing weight is 7990#. I'd know I'd be better off with a 3.92...
