    Took home a new truck!

    Very nice, congrats! What tires are on there?

    Take that 3.92 gas mileage doubters!

    So funny thing… I just crossed over 9000 miles and have not been able to get over 17.5mpg since I bought the truck. Alignment done and according to the sheet, it was way out of spec. The truck drives smoother then it was when I first bought it… and I felt like my MPG meter was increasing faster...

    RV Towing

    With my 5.7 eTorque i get 9-11 mpg towing. Has a lot to do with where im going…more stop and go or consistent highway. 30ft 6k-6,500lbs TT w/715lbs tongue For perspective, I got to the exact same miles per gallon when I was towing with my 3.6 L V6 gladiator. So between the two very different...

    Crooked steering wheel

    Did you ever figure this out? Similar to other people I just got home from an alignment and the steering wheel is slightly off-center. Coming from the jeep world I figured I could just crawl under with a wrench and adjust it myself… Needless to say, I was immediately humbled by my lack of...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Can the spare aluminum rim be used for longer than the thin wall tractor tire spare? I have a tire to put on the rim that is better than that crappy spare. But I haven’t yet because I can’t seem to find anything verifying the room itself can be used for more than just short emergency trips. My...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Bestop supertop installed I use this while camping to haul my dogs along with us. Easy enough install, though I’ve learned to take my time with these things. I have the tonneau cover to use %95 of the time. I was less than impressed with it when it first came out. I got it for my Gladiator and...

    AT tire with low road noise.

    I had yokohama G015s on my gladiator and was less than impressed with their performance is rain. They ate snow / mud / sand / dry with ease…but i felt like they slipped a lot with minimal acceleration in rain. Before i traded in my JT i had Firestone Destination AT2s on and ws BLOWN AWAY...

    Towing Mirrors?

    Towing Mirrors?

    Unless someone has measurements i think they’re pretty close to the same length. I have the tow mirrors and like other said, they take a little getting used to. But i like them 🤷‍♂️ very well could be since i have never had the standard ones. I can say that while towing my 30ft TT i dont fold...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    thankfully I have installed a couple sets over the years so I was prepared haha. I had my Rivet Nut Tool from amazon and knew to clean the holes out first and not to over tighten them when first setting the nuts. The installed was smooth for me up until the tool broke on the last nut. But they...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I ran into this with every jeep Ive ever owned. I started checking and re setting my own toe after a bit and never looked back. Do you have a pic of the alignment sheet they gave you? Id love to know what the target setting is so I can double check it my self.

    21 ram 1500 sway while towing

    when you say the trailer rides level do you mean that you measured the frame front and back and its the same? or it just looks level? I ask because I eyeballed it with my first camper and had a LOT of sway with it regardless of what i didn. Once I did the measurements I found that I was a little...

    21 ram 1500 sway while towing

    WDH? Sway control? poorly distributed load inside the camper? Water in your tanks? (sloshes back and forth) Bad roads? inappropriate tire inflation on the trailer? single axle or double axle camper? just a windy day / travel? as far as upgrades I have sumo springs on the travel trailer...
