    That Hole Where Windshield Wiper Spindle Protrudes--What's Below It?

    I park under a crabapple tree. The tree sheds leaves, twigs, crabapples, crabapple stems, etc. Every couple of weeks I open the hood and scoop out a bunch of debris that collects up near the base of the windshield. Today I noticed there is a lot of this crap settling near the windshield wiper...

    Android Auto Now Messes with UConnect Stereo Volume Control

    2018 Big Horn with stock six speaker 8.4 UConnect. (BTW, this is not the usually reported problem with the Google Assistant voice being unusually loud and unable to be reduced in volume.) I had occasion to use Android Auto recently after a couple of months of not needing to use it. Up until...

    Leaves in Glove Box

    Haven't opened my glove box for (apparently) six months. I went to put the new auto insurance card in the glove box and found several dried-up leaves. How in the heck can leaves get into the glove box? 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn crew cab, gas V6

    2018 3.6L V6: Noise and Fury, not so Much Acceleration

    I'm on my 2nd lease of a 1500 Big Horn with the 3.6L gas engine. My first one was a 2015; my latest one is a 2018.

    Nice Review of 2019 Ram Limited

    Some excerpts: Remember when pickup trucks were all about stamped-steel wrappers, beat-up beds, and interiors bare as an empty can of Coors? The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 is not one of those pickups.
