Here's my question. Why can't we have a single cab optioned out 1500 DT with a 8 foot bed like we used to have? What's wrong with a truck like that? I'm tired of hanging stuff over the tailgate or driving with it down. Trouble with an 8' bed on a crew or quad cab is the truck just doesn't fit...

Gee whiz I used to hold the flashlight for my dad when I was a kid. "Grocery getter" is nothing. Besides that, I DO go get the groceries in it.

I've always thought the big three missed the boat when they stopped offering a single cab with an 8' bed in a 1500 series. I would not hesitate to give up the quad cab I have to get to an 8' bed if I could get it equipped like it is now.

There are two hooks in the front, two D clips on the middle and the latch on the back. I've never known mine to bounce at all.

Drain tube sticks out of the firewall on the right side. I suspect one or both of your cowl drains are blocked.

I understand for frustration, same for me. Once I got it out, I cut a small V notch in both sides so you can collapse it a little. Makes it easier to get out.

Check you cabin filter, it might be getting wet when you go thru the car wash. I have to remember to shut the system off when I go thru. I've had wet cabin filters full of car wash soap.

I've been satisfied with the Lomax trifold cover that's been on the truck since new. Easy installation. Easy removal when needed. It isn't totally waterproof, I don't know of many that are to be truthful.

The valve guide seals might be the culprit. How many miles are on the clock?

How old is the battery in the key fob? Weak signal, maybe.

Ive got the same temps as you, unfortunately. Mine is garaged. My practice is to start it, let the RPM's drop to 800 and go. Heated seat and steering wheel keeps me happy enough until it warms up. I just drive it easy until it does warm up. I'll average 12.5 to 14 mpg this time of year. I...

I would hand calculate the next tank's mileage and see what you get. It will get you out of the trucks history of mileage.

Both the RAM and our Maxima do this once in awhile running in snow, muddy and sometime juicy bug spatter conditions. I just knock off the build up on the sensors in the bumpers and so far it has solved the problems for us. What did you find out from the dealer?

Try rinsing the sensors out with a little water and a damp rag. They can get full of dirt.

If you can remember, when you go thru the car wash make sure the defroster is not selected and the fan running. If it is, then the cowl vent is open and you can get a rush of water from the car wash.
