    Just discovered another great thing about the Pentastar

    The catalytic converters would be very hard to steal from under the truck. A neighbor had his converter stolen the other day, and other people on the Nextdoor app were saying how they've had theirs stolen as well. I took a look at my Ram and because of the way the V6 is designed, with the...

    Cubby hole non-skid shelf liner

    I like the big cubby area, but stuff slides back and forth. Happened to have a little bit of toolbox liner left over, so I made a paper template out of two pieces of printing paper taped together, because the inside of the cubby is an irregular shape. Put the paper in and then creased it along...

    Killing time on my CV 19 vacation doing projects around the house etc., just decided to take the coin holder out of my Ram console, and my LiftMaster garage door opener remote fits very nicely in there.

    Rear bumper vs tree, will this pop out?

    I just accidentally assaulted a small tree while trying to back out of a tight parking space, in a too-crowded grocery store parking lot, full of panicked coronavirus toilet paper hoarders, while it was raining. The tree was so mad it tossed a pine cone on the roof of my cab :D Bumper knocked...

    Locking gas cap 2018 1500?

    Does anyone have a Stant 10508 on their 2018 Ram? I keep seeing conflicting info as to whether it fits or not. Amazon and O'Reilly say it doesn't fit, some other sites say it does. If not, which one does fit? I'm pretty sure Stant makes the Mopar cap, so I'd rather buy a Stant instead of double...

    Ram Dealers begging for positive ratings?

    Is this just in CA? When I bought the truck everyone I interacted with begged to be rated 10 on the email customer satisfaction survey they send. In fact at the dealer they have big signs "Only a 10". But everyone I dealt with - from sales, to finance to service - was horrible, and in the end I...

    Apparently had a "guest" in my engine

    Just changed the oil, went for a short drive, then popped the hood to make sure the oil filter housing wasn't leaking, and noticed this odd mass behind it. After pondering it I vacuumed it out and it's obviously a rat or mice nest. Then noticed something had been munching on the gray battery...

    Do you trust the oil change indicator, or change early?

    Just curious, as I've never had a vehicle with an oil change monitor before. I got my first change at 5700 miles, the indicator said 37%. I've read on "advice" sites (Your Mechanic) that under light use Rams can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles (not km) between changes. I now have close to 6K miles on...

    Recommendations for cable chains 2018 Ram Tradesman 1500 2WD?

    I've searched everywhere and can find no outright recommendations. I tried on some SCC ZT747s on the driveway and they're way too close to brake cables etc. Can anyone tell me which set will work? Has the stock P265/70R/17 with standard steel wheels.
