    New grill 1 vs 2

    To be honest, I had a hard time choosing. With the bumpers being Mango Tango, I finally thought, stick with that. I think the black kicks butt too.

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    My son drives a tanker, delivering gas and diesel to many fuel vendors in this area. Until he told me this, I was not aware of it. They deliver two grades of gas, 87 octane and 93 octane. If someone buys the middle grade, they are mixed.

    RAM is Down!

    I'm very disappointed to hear that RamCares has taken that attitude. Since when are they only for rentals? In 2017, my 2011 Sport had to have the cam/lifters replaced at 92,000 miles. The 5 year warranty had expired, but the 100,000 miles had not been achieved, and RamCares worked with me on the...

    Transmission pan replacement

    Just wanting some feedback on replacing my transmission pan. 2011 1500 Sport with 5.7. I will be changing the transmission fluid and filters soon. I'm wanting to replace it with a pan that has a drain plug. I found one on Amazon, it's an A-Premium pan with drain plug. The add shows it to be...

    Jumper cables hooked up backwards

    Another thing to think about when jumping another vehicle; never connect the negative cable to the battery, find a different ground method, such as a bolt to connect to. My 2011 has a bolt that looks as though it was put where it is as a ground hookup.

    Engine issue

    The business owner agreed to pay any damages to folks vehicles. The same driver got to keep his job until he did it again. True story.

    Engine issue

    He actually kept his job, well, until he did it again.

    Engine issue

    Just a random thought; my son drives a tanker truck delivering fuel to convenience stores and gas stations. Another driver took a load of diesel fuel to a Walmart and proceeded to dump the diesel fuel into the gasoline tanks. You can only imagine the kind of damage that would cause. Driver was...

    Gas cap Alert

    My dog is a small one, around 20 pounds, and loves everybody. I had to get up at 3:30 in the morning to get ready to go to work. Our shift started at 5:00a.m. I don't own a Smith and Wesson, but I do own a Glock and a Rueger, but they were very quite about it. Fortunately, we have that...

    Gas cap Alert

    One thing to keep in mind; when you put the cap back on after fueling, you need to turn it until it clicks several times. Do you park outside or in a garage? I had to park my truck in the driveway at our previous home, and I started getting these fuel cap lights. Turns out the neighbor next door...

    Ram 1500 EV is questionable if it makes it to market

    Not all municipalities have the grid to recharge every vehicle battery every day, plus run your home, plus charger fires, insurance companies cancelling homeowner policies due to potential fire hazard, cancelling or raising automobile policy because of repair cost associated with EV's, how many...

    Yeah, sounds like a normally open relay that's stuck closed. Pretty simple to fix with a new relay.

    Dealership Visit

    Ask them how much they charge per hour for labor, then ask them for the hours that each of those call for in their labor book, then multiply, add, then you have your answer. The running board deal sounds suspicious to me, don't know why they would be suggesting doing both sides unless that's...

    Cannot get Parts

    I live in Southeast Tennessee, and this past Sunday, (10/08/2023) we made a trip to Pigeon Forge. On the way back home, a 2 hour drive, we stopped at a Krystal and got 12 cheese Krystals, 1 order of fries, and 2 large drinks. Wanna know the tab for that? $33 and change. If we didn't have our fur...

    Hemi tick lawsuit

    When mine failed, I was under the mileage, which for my truck was 100,000 miles, but it was a few months past the 5 year part. RamCares was super about fixing my truck. I paid a 10% co-pay, around $300.00. It was done in a reasonable time frame.

    My Ram is gone

    Government mileage mandates are the biggest part of the problem, at least in my opinion. Thinner oil to reduce resistance plays a big part in the engine issues. I had to have the cam and lifters replaced in my 2011 Sport at about 92,000 miles. I now have 162,000 miles on it and no issues. Maybe...

    I'm # 100k with this issue yeeeeeah

    Never thought about it, but when I bought my 2011 Sport, it came with free oil changes, forget how many, for two years. I took advantage of it until late in the offer. My cam went away with 92,000 miles on it. The local dealer replaced the cam and lifters after I agreed to pay 10% of the cost...

    4 hours and $900 CAD to change spark plugs?

    I was wondering why the labor took 4 hours on a 6 cylinder. Not familiar with the pentastar engine at all, but if it requires taking the head off to change them, that would explain it. I know dealers have a book with everything broken down as to how many hours each thing requires, even if it...

    This is a bit of a Shocker

    While I agree with your post, my response was about motorsports, such as NHRA, NASCAR, and any other motorsport you can name. It's not so much the cost of fuel, these professional racers have sponsorships that help cover the cost of fuel. I'm talking about the electrification of our vehicles we...

    This is a bit of a Shocker

    Sadly, the push for EV's will be the death of all types of racing that we grew up watching. NASCAR, NHRA, local tracks will all eventually close down. There goes another piece of my youth.

    And...She's Dead

    Mass produced batteries can have a bad apple in the bunch. Hit or miss. I tend to agree with a bad battery. My wife and I went to have a picnic then drive through Cades Cove. After the picnic, we loaded up and turned the switch and it would just click. Couple of people tried using their battery...

    Great day to be driving a Ram

    Back when I was a young man, driving an 18 wheeler, I went to Montana one time. I immediately understood why they call it Big Sky. I noticed the speedometer at 85 mph. What ever state you were in, send them the amount of the fine. You bad boy.
