    New V8 Engine Coming?

    I just read in a Car & Driver discussion of the new Dodge Viper that's being developed (maybe) that there will be no more V10 engines. Instead, a "new all aluminum V8 is being developed". So I wonder if this is a modification of the current V6--->all aluminum, 32 valve, DOHC, FI, VVT, etc...

    Class Action Lawsuit against California Rip-off Sales Tax?

    My complaint: You or I buy a new Ram that MSRP's for $50K as an example. Say it has been discounted by $20K for this discussion. So you pay $30K. When the State of California's Sales Tax is figured, it is figured on the $50K price, even though you paid $30K. So there goes an extra $1600 plus...

    Great gas timeage, but will it need stabilizer?

    If I was keeping gas this long for my chainsaws, mowers, etc. I would have put some gasoline stabilizer in it. Now I'm thinking about my truck---will these hi-tech engines (& cats) deal with stabilizers? I just buy the Walmart stuff for the small motors' gas, but is there a better quality mix...

    Actual weight/capacity of 2019 Classic

    Just an FYI: Seen a lot of discussions about actual loads on 1500's and now I know what mine is good for. I went to the recycle yard today with a load of scrap steel. Weighed in and out, no driver, 3/4 tank of fuel (26 gal tank), and small tool bag plus tire chains onboard. My truck weighed...

    No backing up with drivers' door open?

    I have not been able to find the screen entry to disable whatever "safety" feature that won't let me back up this truck (2019 Warlock) with my drivers' door open. I like to do that when doing tiny adjustments to connect to my trailer. Yes, the backup camera helps a lot, but I'd still like to...

    Dash retaing nuts?

    Hi Folks, I'm in the process of changing out my heater core (2001 Dodge 1500) and my sorry dash too. It's ABS and thick old ABS glue--like for pipe--works to glue up the cracks, but the rest of the dash breaks around the repairs, rats! So I'm making up my mind about which replacement dash to...

    Tire Chains

    New 2019 Warlock: had to sign waiver stating I knew this truck can never run with snow chains on. Anyone know why? We get snow/ice here in the foothills and 4WD's pass OK in those areas if they have snow tires on---not the OEM type. Loads of fender clearance exists, will the computer go...

    Fuel gauge reading backwards??????????

    I'm guessing that I hurt a wire somewhere under the dash when I lifted the dashboard and dropped the steering column to check the heater core. I know that I had about 1/8 of a tank of gas when I disconnected the battery and did the heater core check. I got it all back together and started the...
