    Truck shaking at idle

    Also, just incidentally, check your oil level. My truck developed a weird, vibrating idle not long after an oil change, and it turns out they'd just put in the new oil on top of the old, so i was running double the recommended capacity. Yowza. They fixed/admitted wrongdoing, refunded and gave...

    Can I delete the ANC?

    If you have the 9-speaker mid tier system, it's unpin these 4 wires (one for each ANC mic) under the drivers seat. I upgraded the 6x9's in the door and the truck was undriveable due to thunderous speaker feedback. There are cleaner bypass cables you can use instead though, as mentioned.

    Granger Motors Special. $25 over cost on Mopar Maxcare Extended Warranty

    Presumably it's their current special? Not sure what else to tell you beyond that. :)

    Granger Motors Special. $25 over cost on Mopar Maxcare Extended Warranty

    That was my thought as well. Once I got the pricing sorted out for how long I expect to keep this truck, I had to weigh that against the cost of replacing broken items. My headers are still good (as far as i know) but thats likely to cover my cost immediately if that goes, for example. Same...

    Granger Motors Special. $25 over cost on Mopar Maxcare Extended Warranty

    Yea, my local dealer did the inspection (has to be a Mopar dealership, btw). Granger sent me the checklist (2 pages, mostly visual inspections for leaks, aftermarket parts, etc) for the dealer to fill out, and take it on a short road test. Paid for an hours worth of labor ($180?! Sheesh.) and...

    Granger Motors Special. $25 over cost on Mopar Maxcare Extended Warranty

    ~$750 cheaper than the quote from chryslerfactoryplans dot com. :) I think there was a forums discount though, but still cheaper. Yep, since all my warranties were expired, an inspection was needed (has to be done at a mopar dealer). Thankfully my truck passed with flying colors.

    Granger Motors Special. $25 over cost on Mopar Maxcare Extended Warranty

    Finished my Granger extended purchase today - very happy w/ the price. $100 ded, 3 years/36k, around $1500 for my 2019 with 31k miles, maxcare. FAR cheaper than the other guys(tm). ;)

    Here's an engineer-written article explaining some of the forces/effects (and his opinion) of the changes: https://www.theautopian.com/our-suspension-engineer-tells-you-his-opinion-on-wheel-spacers/

    Ahh, okay, I had followed the earlier instructions for a custom quote. Should I disregard that and email?

    Granger Motors Special. $25 over cost on Mopar Maxcare Extended Warranty

    Is an inspection required for an out of warranty / "used vehicle" plan? Not mentioned anywhere and just curious. Also - no code or anything needed for the '$25 over cost' option?

    2019 Ram Fuel Tank Replacement

    I asked - dealership specifically said they would not do that. While i would have liked 33, i don't drive much (2019 bought in 2018, i'm at like 30,400 miles), so a 23 is fine for me.

    2019 Ram Fuel Tank Replacement

    I'm getting my 23 gallon tank replaced end of this week for the same issue. Tried all the angles, etc, just wouldn't take fuel for more than 10-15 seconds at a time. Makes for a very long fillup. Parts for my 2019 are (w/ dealer quoted prices): 68584756AA (23 gal tank) - $471 68580832AA (Fuel...

    2019 Ram 1500 Longhorn - Gas Tank Replacement - HELP

    Hmm.. that's not a bad idea. Will consider, thanks! Hmm, yea, not sure what to tell you there. I think the quote (which i thought about taking a photo of, but of course did not - would have been helpful here) had $340 for just the tank alone.
