For when you are absolutely bored

I put the OEM on mine shortly after I bought it back in 2019. Never had an issue with it. Installation is easy enough. Back then there were a couple of different part numbers concerning clearances with the exhaust pipe. On mine if I back up with it still down the backup sensors will have an...

There is no such thing as privacy anymore if you have a phone, TV, computer, truck/car or internet access. Sad and disgusting fact of modern life. Why is it that 98% of us can have our integrity questioned because some people don't have any at all. I realize that the tech can be helpful if...

What year did they make the switch? Curiosity on my part.

As a last resort for the time being, consider pulling the cabin filter out to make it as unrestricted as possible. Regardless stay safe.

Manually move the heating system thru all of the mode settings. Floor only, floor and upper vents, defroster mode etc. It might force the blend door linkage to put the blend door where it belongs relative to the dash control settings. Sometimes the linkage in my RAM binds up it not moved thru...

Those tires, Cooper Rugged Trek lean more towards performance on off road conditions rather than sketchy conditions on pavement. I have a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S on my Ram. I do very little off road, definitely nothing extreme. They have been a great tire for my purposes...

You could ask to see the service record from the rental company. The question I would ask is if the truck had ever been returned mid rental and why?

FWIW It's a rental truck. It's been driven and used, not babied at all. It's most likely had basic care as needed and spec'd out by RAM. If it was going to break it would have already done that by now. As far as electrical/tech gremlins, all of us and all truck brands can be subject to...

Some of these trucks develop a rear brake moan. Mine did and I added the rear brake brackets and it solved the problems for me. If you do a search here on the forum you will see several posts about the issue. I would get it backing out of the garage in the mornings especially on cool mornings.

The frame has been deformed twice, once when it was damaged and once again when it was straightened. The grain of the metal in the frame was compressed on the inside of the bend and stretched on the outside of the bend. It does not have the same strength as it did before and never will again...

I had similar troubles as you describe when I first started out with the RAM. I'm 6'2, 200 lbs. I have my seat raised up a bit so my knees are lower than my hips slightly. I've adjusted the front edge of the seat to the point where there is very little pressure on the lower side of my legs...

Invisable Glass Cleaner made by Stoner Co. just flat works. First time you use it you may have to go over the glass 3 or more times before it stops streaking. Then it's very simple. Another way is to mix 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water in a quart spray bottle, with about a cap full of...
