    A new Tazer DT group buy

    FYI - even though I sold my Ram - Tazer is WORTH IT. More than just light shows. Auto folding mirrors - seat belt chimes - "dark mode" (killing all the lights) - front windows up/down from fob - change DRL lights - fogs on with Hi beams. Those are just a few features that I used it for (seat...

    New GMC Yukon Arrives - I bid y'all a fond adieu (or is that FONDUE?)...

    Welp - after ordering in January - Covid-Related Parts Constraints - my NEW GMC Yukon Denali Diesel came in yesterday. Amazing truck - kind of sad, saying goodbye to my Ram though. If I were a "pickup truck" kinda guy - would have kept it. Horrible gas mileage aside - there still isn't...

    Interesting notes on fuel economy

    Poor mileage - great performance. Kind of surprised based on some reports I've seen here. Probably be out of this truck by weeks end - have a 21 Yukon XL Denali I6 Diesel that was ordered the beginning of January, that was finally born 4/15 - expected delivery date 4/29. Truck is at the Ram...

    5th gen Ram 1500 push to start issue.

    I'm just figuring all the metal I carry in my pocket blocks it. Could be the knife, the business card holder, the 20 year AA coin - all or a combination of. Can't really recall that I noticed it more (or less) before I installed the LED's, so I'm not 100% that it's those either... Rick

    5th gen Ram 1500 push to start issue.

    Carry a knife (large metal Benchmade 4" pushbutton) in the same pocket. Sometimes the fob doesn't work, so I juggle it around in my pocket and it works. I have an add-on keyless system in my Slingshot (Digital Guard Dawg) - that has 2 settings: one, you have to push the button in the fob to...

    Will this fit in console safe?

    Off topic quickly. Sig makes a Short Reset Trigger (SRT) for the 226. https://www.sigsauer.com/short-reset-trigger-parts-kit-p226-p227-p229.html Initial pull is still about the same length, but the reset is markedly shorter (hence SRT). Not sure if it would be permitted for an OD wep though...

    Keeping TazerDT connected for service?

    Truck in shop for leather dash replacement - probably should have taken the Tazer OUT for this one - hard NOT TO NOT SEE IT. LOL But I'm trading it as soon as my new Yukon Denali XL comes in - so, whatever... Rick

    Keeping TazerDT connected for service?

    They will do anything they can to deny a warranty claim. ANYTHING you plug into a harness could (conceivably) screw up a computer in the truck. At least we don't have to CUT WIRES to put these things in. I go (went) through this kind of crap with harley - until I got the connectors and parts...

    Keeping TazerDT connected for service?

    Typically - most dealers scan the truck for CEL's when they check it in. Not sure if the missing security module (because this is where the Tazer plugs in) shows up in the vehicle report. While it "shouldn't" void a warranty, since it seems FCA looks for ANY EXCUSE TO DO SO - I always remove...

    Re-fueling issues on 2021 RAM 1500 limited

    Certainly weird. I don't see why using higher octane would cause issues. And you should actually get slightly better gas mileage with it. I don't run it - because it's not worth the extra $$. Not even sure running 89 (recommended) is worth the extra $$ either. Yeah - if you do not get...

    Requested to change rims on Limited, dealer says it will void warranty?

    ^^^^^ THIS I research stuff TO DEATH (I'm kinda OCD). I already have all the owners manuals and tech bulletins by the time I go to kick tires. Constantly showing the salesman features they didn't know existed. In their defense (as if car salesman were defensible), they typically have a...

    Requested to change rims on Limited, dealer says it will void warranty?

    As others have said - lazy salesman - with an EXCUSE. Trucks come with "packages" - we cannot order "a la carte" anymore. Arrange a swap with someone here - or have them ORDER THE NEW WHEELS AND TIRES, PAY FOR THEM - have them installed pre-delivery. Then SELL the 22" Wheel/Tire set as brand...
