    Spinning wheels and skidding even in AWD...

    I have Falken Wildpeak A/TWa tires and I get zero traction in the wet. The "A" must signify the second line of Wildpeaks that come OE. Even when I'm driving 35 mph, and have to accelerate quickly when the ground is damp, the tires spin. The government ratings are Traction B and Temperature B...

    Ram 1500 BEV

    Never did I say that you didn't like gas. I just made the point that EVs are not viable until we devise a completely new method of charging. BTW, love your Chesty quote. Semper Fi!

    Ram 1500 BEV

    I'm not knocking you, but you ignore the main drawbacks of owning an EV. How will you charge it in the future? We don't have the power capacity and we still rely on fossil fuel for charging. I didn't even address some of the issues. A great majority of the interior and exterior components...

    Ram 1500 BEV

    EVs won't be viable for fifty years. Most all power plants are using fossil fuels. Sort of defeats the pupose of EVs doesn't it? The only current possible replacement for fossil fuel utlilizing power plants is nuclear energy, which the environmentists and others don't want operating either...

    Falken Wildpeak

    I tried to accelerate onto a state highway from the Interstate offramp the other day with traffic coming. I didn't even really step on the gas hard and the truck got sideways going around a turn. I couldn't believe it.

    eTorque vs. Hemi

    I have about 8k miles on my '20 Laramie with eTorque. Most of the time the start/stop is pretty seemless, but there are times when the truck lurches forward. I mostly feel this when I'm sitting in traffic and I release the brake to move forward a short distance. At times, it feels as if I...

    Falken Wildpeak

    The OEM Wkildpeaks are horrible in the rain. I don't think I've ever seen worse wet traction in a tire (except bald tires). I can't accelerate at all from a stop without the tires spinning.

    Best oil to use

    What an inane comment. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is probably the most popular oil for the Hemi engine in the country no matter what the cost. If you like to spend more money, feel free.

    Best oil to use

    I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic. It seems to be the most popular oil for the Hemi engine. You can buy it on Amazon for $25 for a 5 qt. bottle.

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    I can't believe they are still having this issue. I had a 2014 Limited, and I awakened one more to find my backseat flooded. At the time there was no upgraded gasket, so I just siliconed it until a new gasket was available. Ridiculous.

    Really considering trade in for 2022

    You'd better see how much you will pay for a 2022. Dealers are charging far over sticker price these days because of inventory shortages.

    Anyone have their windshield replaced yet? Decision!

    Rock hit the bottom of my windshield. I didn't notice it at first, but now it's spreading. Went to Safelite, and they said they had to order through the dealer. They said that their supplier doesn't offer the windshield yet. Going to take a week to ten days to get the windshield. The crack...

    Are the led healights worth the $1,000 upgrade cost?

    I had a 2014 with halogens. They were terrible. I wound up putting in HIDs.

    Fuel Mileage Gauge Inaccuracies

    Thank you. It just so happens that I have been looking for some auxiliary backup lights.
