Not to hijack Raydar's thread, but :
Yes .. but I was wondering the same .. maybe I'll ask him to check in on it since I actually have until SEP 1st.

So it looks like 2020's could already be getting readied to be ordered? Maybe a mod could tell us, I'm just researching the net'...

Greetings! I just stumbled across this forum while searching the internet for trailer brake controllers. Looks like a promising forum.
I am a member on numerous forums, under this same user name. (Long story.) Some since as early as 1999. Still prefer forums to Facebook.
I'm 62 years old, and have been a gearhead since I had my first Tonka truck.
I do telecommunications for the power company. Planning to retire in 3 years (and counting.)
My hobbies are playing with old stereo equipment, and customizing Pontiac Fieros. (I own two of those. One of them is engine-swapped - won best in class at World of Wheels - and the other is "in the works".)

So... why am I here?
Yesterday I traded my 2005 Silverado for a shiny new Ram 1500 Big Horn Sport crew cab 4x4.
It's pretty basic. Came with the Sport appearance package and Level 1 equipment group. Has a Hemi, 3.92 gears and anti-spin axle. Still has more toys on it than any vehicle I've ever owned.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here, and look forward to participating. I'm sure I'll be posting annoying questions for a while. But as I become familiar with all the tricks associated with my beast, I hope to become useful, as well.

Welcome! I'm into tinkering with vintage audio as well, specifically Pioneer.

Ahh, shiny buttons...

Welcome! I'm into tinkering with vintage audio as well, specifically Pioneer.

Dude... That's freaking beautiful! If it sounds as impressive as it looks, your neighbors must hate you.

I'm into Kenwood stuff (have several pieces that need repair or "gone through") and some odd, obscure stuff, as well.
Just found a set of late '70s Olson Electronics amp/tuner "separates". (Yeah... I know. But I used to work there. Got to know "what was what". These were as nice as any of the going brands.)
There's lots more, but I'll spare you.
Rock on!
