Cold Air Intake really though?
Most of the “Cold Air” intakes systems are just money grabbers. When you read the specs and fine print some will learn there isn’t any gain until over 3000rpm. Most modern truck Rarely get that high. Some of the outputs-for the cost-are useless. Unless you have lots of $$ and do it all...- Yukonbill

Hitch Danger
Congratulations. I call my 3500 the Granite Beast. That 8’ bed with Dully makes navigation in tight spots a little tricky, but a breeze backing in. I opt to park in the further away places and take up two spaces—further adding more for the “haters” in the world to complain about more. Plus...- Yukonbill

Driving a Ram 3500 Fully pulling if I into spot is pretty tough. I’m in my 7th truck and I always back into parking places. So, add me to your “hated”list. Pleople need to be more aware of their surrounding. Not that I haven’t walked into one a time or two- Yukonbill

Current Chevy owner but like the Ram. Convince me :)
I was a Ford guy for 23+ years. Test drove a Dodge Dakota 2001 model and now I’m on my 4th Dodge-each time trading up one size. None have ever left me sitting on the side of the road. Performed all my own maintenance. Worst issue, I had on my Monster 05’ 1500 was the duct work quit opening...- Yukonbill

Wifey is losing her mind lol.
It’s all in the water. We’ve been looking at the Limited nearly 2 years. It’s not the initial cost—its the after affect. Taxes in VA cost is insane—it sucks you can’t own anything nice, after years of working, without having to pay the communistic taxes on everything. Tax on top of tax...- Yukonbill

Best Wiper Blades
I found the dealer blades perform best, mine are already 4 years old and still wiping great. I checked pricing at Firestone, they wanted over $30 each blade. -
Dealership has no idea what’s wrong - Help!
I found bad diode in Alternator killing battery real quick. Not sure why dealer couldn’t isolate, unless issue is like a ghost, which, happens a lot. Hard to pin point problem when it doesn’t occur while testing. The dealers have the latest diagnostic tools available. The should be able to...- Yukonbill

I had issues w/ 2005 1500. Bad vibrations above 45 mph. Off-Road shop soaked me for front axle hub. Turned out to be bad u-joint.

Brake questions
With ABS, the hydraulic brake unit needs to pulsate while bleeding in order to get the air out. Most require ability to hook up to shop computer. There are aftermarket tools, but cheaper to just have a dealer bleed the system. Keep us updated. -

Opinion's On 180 Thermostat
No, I don’t “blindly support the epa” but I no most manufactures are building automobiles that average 200-300 THOUSAND miles, if properly maintained. The technology and engineering has to be given a great deal of credit. Vehicles built in the 60s & 70s rarely got 100K. Yes, I’m a “newbie” to...- Yukonbill

Opinion's On 180 Thermostat
And that is one of the many reasons for adding ethylene glyco-Antifreeze and newer flavors. This all aids to lower the boiling points. One of the reasons for higher operating temperatures. Thanks for that great link avantiguy.- Yukonbill
