    Lack of dealer stock

    Thanks for all of the input. I think I may take the gamble and throw the order in within the next month or two. 12 weeks build time is being optimistic and that's right about the time of year all of the year end rebates start to make an appearance. After looking at current stock I think I want...

    Lack of dealer stock

    Thanks for the heads up. USAA member. I didn't think to check into them for discounts. Also as @mtnrider mentioned I'm not too confident in the 12 week quote for the build time, on their end and mine. I would hate to be out the $1000 deposit if for some reason at the end of the 12 week period...

    Lack of dealer stock

    I have been contemplating trading in my 2017 1500 for a new 2500. I love my truck but I have been wanting better ground clearance, crew cab and still have a 6 1/2 foot bed and the larger hemi. We are also considering a travel trailer in the near future. Surprisingly my wife was being a bad...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Drove it 12 hours round trip Vegas-salt lake on Monday. Not bad fuel mileage considering Utah’s 80mph speed limit.

    Hemi Exhaust tick

    A few weeks ago I noticed the tick on start up on my 2017 with 41,000 miles. Since it is still under warranty I took it into the dealer. The said they replaced one bolt on the passenger side and the tick is gone. Unfortunately I know its going to happen again. Eventually I will put some nice...

    Shady business from the service advisor

    No more Don Weir? Reno is "home" but I haven't lived there since 2015, I'm a little further south now. Can't say I was ever impressed when it was Don Weirs Reno Dodge

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Yeah we had to throw 4 back because they were way too small. These were just big enough to make dinner out of them. It was a little nerve wracking getting getting down the mountain and then another two hours home on the temp tire.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Enjoyed a day of fishing with the Mrs. She isnt a huge fan of fish and finally caught her first one. Thankfully she ended up liking them when it was finally time for dinner. Then had a flat tire going down the mointain. The tire wasnt able to get repaired. The tires on the truck were the factory...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Funny thing is the cashier at the gas station called her out for being in a ram with that shirt. We used to have a fusion before we got her a jeep but she still wears the shirt everywhere.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Managed to get out for awhile checking out the forest service roads. Still have to head to the car wash to get the dirt and "pin striping" off

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    Used a mobil 1 filter on the oil they ran the analysis on. This time around I went back to the Mopar filter and stuck with the PP 5W20. I went back to the Mopar filter because to me the truck didn't seem as quiet as it was with the Mopar filter, but could just be my imagination. I will probably...

    Rock and a hard place

    Unfortunately Nevada is not one of them depending on the deal. Once you sign on the dotted line you own it, no cooling off period, no warranty or exchange unless written in the contract. The only exceptions are if financing falls through or if somehow you can prove the dealer knowingly violated...

    Remove chrome door handle plates?

    You need to Replace all four complete door handles. For body color they come painted from Mopar. Price varies with color and if you have the keyless go system. Including shipping mine would have cost around $260 from allmoparparts.com. I ended up going for the all black textured finish. I paid...

    Where to get grille painted

    I hear you on not passing up the great price. I wanted body color bumpers and grille with honey comb and non chrome wheels. I didn't want to take a step down to an express and couldn't afford to go up to a Sport so ended up with my Big Horn. I couldn't imagine trying to de chrome a Laramie. Have...

    Where to get grille painted

    I was considering leaving them but I must say the few that had the plasti dip on them looked good. Guess it depends how much chrome I end up taking off. Eventually going to black wheels when these tires wear out and funny you mentioned the head lights. I was actually just looking at a set of...

    Where to get grille painted

    Grille was done ahead of schedule. I think it turned out great. Attempted to plastidip the badges but scrubbed it off. I will get actual black badges to put on.

    Post you fixes for Hemi lifter tick

    I definitely plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I was thinking of saving some money and going to the PUP 5W30 like you said and at least getting the heavier weight but from what everyone is saying looks like biting the bullet and paying for the Redline is just a good overall choice...

    Hey guys I have been reading the posts and trying to make a decision on what to go with on the next oil change. The truck is a 2017 with about 7500 miles. So far it has one change that I did at around 3000 miles. Filled with 7 qts of PP 5W/20 and mopar filter. To be honest it has been awhile...

    Where to get grille painted

    I ordered it online from Athens Dodge in Georgia. After shipping the total came to $178. I will post the link below. It was the cheapest price I found for a new OEM part. However, it was wasn't a fun process. It took them a full week before they shipped it, and took days to respond to multiple...
