Finally snow is sticking up north. Putting the winter wheels & tires on this weekend. This is how it looks at 1600 feet elevation about an hour north of me: Unrelated...partially related. Started our "Nearly a teardown" remodel this week. Dug out 48 feet for a new 2 car tandem garage, 2 new...

It's on the forecast!!! Here are some photos from last year. I run the 20" big horn wheels with Blizzaks in the winter. more side-wall and cheaper tire cost. OEM so no centering rings required. Bought them from a buy here for I think $100 each.

First day waking up with frost on the diesel. 27F with snow on the forecast in northern NH

7500 mile oil change in the EcoDiesel. Thank goodness because I really don't like doing oil changes in the winter so the timing was perfect.

75,000 miles so things are starting to need attention. I changed my rear brake pads and rotors about 2,500 miles ago. Fronts weren’t due yet (6mm) pads but I did them anyway because doing maintenance in the winter without a garage really sucks so now that nights are getting colder, I decided to...

2,200 miles in 3 days on the EcoDiesel. Crossed 70,000 miles on the 2021. I picked up a new car in Indianapolis (I'm in central NH). 2002 BMW 330 Ci in Steel Blue Metallic with just 2 previous owners and 30,000 miles on the odometer. All original, dealer maintained and garage kept and just 1100...

Winter is almost over (still some snow on the forecast and below freezing) but wishful thinking, we're back on OEM 22s and brand new rubber (Michelin Defender) all around. Hit 70,000 mile last week on the EcoDiesel so I did Air & cabin filter, Diesel Fuel filter, Oil / filter and looked...

Not my day for ice fishing. Vermont is in blizzard conditions and the wind chill right now is insane.

After 2 years living in Charlotte North Carolina, we’ve returned back to Northern New Hampshire. Which means, I threw the 20” RAM chrome wheels + Blizzacks back on for winter mode and stuck the night edition 22” limited wheels in the garage.

I do all of my own service and have been doing these every 10,000 miles. Not required at all but they're not that expensive (I come from German car world). I'm doing oil at 5K and fuel filter at 10K. Buying parts in bulk. don't drive that much since I commute on motorcycles.

It required a trip to New Hampshire but I finally had the recall performed today. No discernible difference but it's done now. It took 5 hours from drop off to pickup. Looks like they billed RAM about $800 for the work (labor + part). They also re-alignedthe tailgate as it came off the roller...

I'd buy that truck if it was rocking a new motor but with multiple fuel pump issues, I wouldn't risk it...

I had to special order it but I got a Limited EcoDiesel long bed from Mark Dodge for $63,000 fully loaded at 0% interest 3 years ago. I do like the new Tungsten interior. It looks really svelte. But then I noticed it only comes in the short-bed option so I can't put my motorcycles in the...

Awesome. DM me if you want to talk trip planning. I've been planning this one all winter and relied on the internet for 'must see roads' so anxious to finally get started. I have 2 weeks baked in for delays, breakdowns, etc just in case. Yeah, I need to change my language. Around motorcycle...

Not RAM Related but I loaded up the bike today for my longest trip ever. Dropping my bike off at the shipping company tomorrow. In 2 weeks, I fly out to Oregon to begin a 12,000 Mile ride over 5-6 weeks. Departing Bend Oregon on June 17th Riding dirt roads to the Canadian border (Oregon /...
