Yeck everything is today. :)

Years ago I was using an old bracket from some CB antenna mount that was under the bench. So that bracket would work fine and I went to slightly modify it for the thing I was trying to make. I put the bracket in a large vise and went to tap it slightly to a different bend. 2-3 wacks with a...

I agree. It's not worth having hooks snapping and breaking a windshield. I bought Mopar ones. If I need them I'll hope they are strong unlike some cheap ones that are full of porosity.

No V8. No matter the HP the turbo can produce, it will never sound like a V8 truck. Plus the turbo is likely to be more problematic and naturally more expensive. These trucks are nearly outside the reach of normal everyday blue collar folks. I have no choice but to keep mine.

No V8. I'm not pleased.

I ordered a battery tonight. Ordered another for her jeep which is a few years older. I went to work tonight and it barely turned over. I hit the switch and seen the voltage was 14.7 volts as it was running. I let it run for 20 minutes. Shut it down, clicked accessory and read the voltage...

My 21 seems ok. Of course I just jinks myself typing that.

So what is the battery life on a new Ram? 4-5 years or do they fail sooner than that? Also if you do replace the battery like that video, and leave it dead for a few hours, will it affect your XM radio? I don't care to loose stations, I don't want the truck not to know it has a radio in it....

I put mine in 5 months ago. It's a sweet box for pistols.

My truck is still a baby. Approaching 10,000 soon but I drive 8 miles a day round trip to work. I and you should change the oil twice a year because of climate and me because of super short trips. I use regular oil, I won't use synthetic because I dump it out with 1,500 mikes or more for work...

It depends on your age and situation in life. If your the type of person that will replace the truck in 4-5 years then don't bother. The trucks are reliable, but like any new vehicle they are not perfect and have a few weak links. Mostly what I read on the forum here is the exhaust manifolds...

I won't ever buy an EV. Maybe a go cart would be fun!

I never had experienced them break or manifolds crack since my oldest truck a 52 chev, which I fixed up. Sure I changed them out to hot rod them, but I never experienced manifold malfunctions in any vehicle I owned or drove.

Well I never heard of this problem outside of Ram trucks, so having manifold problems is BS. I've owned new cars and trucks since 1982. So I'm not wet behind the ears. I look forward to mine snapping off in the near future. Lol

My Ram is more reliable than the last 3 Silverado's I bought new. The last 3 Chevys had electrical issues. The first one the dealer swapped out the entire speedometer cluster (everything in front of the steering wheel) the other 2 where traded away when I couldn't take it anymore. The new 21...
