    Dog's not happy - I'm confused.

    My husky did this when my wife got a new suv. He was used to my Tacoma with cloth seats and her suv had leather seats and the seat base was a little shorter. He would freak out in the seat, he had a weird lean and you could just sense the nervousness and tension in his posture. It was really...

    2019 ram 19 speaker harmon kardon stereo

    Good post, you just reminded me that I’ve only used carplay to play music so far. I haven’t tried the FM radio or a cd.

    2019 ram 19 speaker harmon kardon stereo

    Did you ever get this resolved? I feel the same about my truck, but I’ve only had it for a couple of days and may have missed a setting somewhere. I tried surround sound and normal stereo modes and playing with the fade without any great results.

    I’ll have to read about the pedal commander. Thanks for the heads up.

    Drove a 2020 tonight for an hour or so...

    The dealership I went to was on top of a big hill. The back road to the dealership is pretty windy. The truck had a little more lean than I’m used to. Now that could simply be because I’m used to a much lighter truck (Tacoma 2wd). It took me about 10 minutes of driving to get used to the full...

    Drove a 2020 tonight for an hour or so...

    I test drove 2 limiteds this past weekend and thought it was the quietest ride I’ve ever been in. One had a sunroof and one didn’t. I was personally thinking I wouldn’t like the oversized sunroof due to wind noise, but it was great and now I actually want it. I was a little underwhelmed by the...

    New procharger kit available for etorque hemi

    Nice! Have you done any timed races? Looks like my autocorrect went to town on my first post, I should’ve re-read it before posting.

    New procharger kit available for etorque hemi

    Is it really? Can you comment on the performance improvement? What was the before and after dyno? Was anything besides the supercharger And a tune done to get your sumo numbers? I’m extremely curious to see how supercharging affects the etorqued motors.

    How are these trucks in heavy snow/blizzards?

    Thanks for the additional info. My original post was a bit long winded, I’m sure people overlooked that. Heck, I even forgot I asked that.

    5th Gen 1500 Snow Tires

    I had blizzaks on my 2wd Tacoma double cab. They allowed me to go through stuff my Tacoma never could before. They did great on snow and Ice. My Tacoma is 2wd with positraction and no locker. If one tire was slipping the whole truck was stranded. They allowed me to drive through some sketchy...

    The Numbers Are In For The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel:

    Thanks! That’s pretty impressive mpg for that truck. Thanks for posting the details of the truck as well. Off topic, but is there any clue as to when ecodiesels will arrive on dealer lots for test driving? I’m in the market for a new truck before winter sets in.

    The Numbers Are In For The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel:

    Thanks for the reply. Sounds like the Tlft guys got super lucky or made an error then. Bummer, that would’ve been an amazing result even if it only occurs in perfect conditions.

    The Numbers Are In For The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel:

    Since there was an embargo on reporting actual MPG for the ecodiesel, is it possible that the vehicle wasn't calibrated to give an accurate MPG reading on these test runs? Perhaps your MPG could have been a little better than "advertised" by the readout on the truck. Although now that the EPA...

    40 mpg...

    Pardon my ignorance, but why is an oil change on a diesel more expensive? Why is diesel repair more expensive than a gas engine? I realize that the previous diesel motor had some issues. Assuming that the point of those catastrophic failures have been corrected, why wouldn’t the motor go a...

    How are these trucks in heavy snow/blizzards?

    Yea, I’ve tried low-temp washer fluid. For some reason the nozzles on my Tacoma still freeze over. The tank and the lines are fine, but the nozzle heads freeze over after my first use. It drives me nuts.
