    Just found out my truck is from Canada.. no more warranty.. a week after purchase

    Man I feel for ya, that just blows. See what Vroom will offer to buy it from ya, maybe you can get lucky and sell it with minimal loss. That's one shady dealer to not disclose that it came from Canada and show that it still has a warranty. I know on my paperwork, I had to sign where it showed...

    Roll N Lock M Series vs UltraFlex/Armor Flex

    I don't have the M series, I have the A series. I went with it because my father in-law has it on his 2500 and loves his, plus the A series is aluminum and figured it was stronger. I really like mine and it is easy to use. However, Roll N lock changed the design for our beds. The older models...

    89 octane recommend, does it really make a difference?

    I actually did not know that! I really didn't know if either actually were. I gave up on top tier only a few years ago, but I do stay away from the stations with no names and racetrack. I actually know two people that have received bad gas from QT, which surprised me.

    1st Oil Change Questions - Warranty voiding...

    Kinda funny, I've never got a bad trade in price and I always do my own. On a previous post I mentioned that Jeep replaced my cam, lifter and rockers, guess what the carfax said? Routine maintenance performed or something like that. Whoever got that Jeep probably has no clue that the engine was...

    1st Oil Change Questions - Warranty voiding...

    All I can add, is that in my Jeep Wrangler, I always did my own oil changes. At 81k my lifters started getting noisy and Jeep/FCA replaced the lifters, rockers and cam free of charge under warranty and never asked me anything about oil changes. I suspect if they found the heads to be gunked up...

    89 octane recommend, does it really make a difference?

    I'm at like 600ft, LOL, but I've never noticed any knocking on 87 ever. But others have and I can only speak for my truck. I will say this, I highly doubt all the contractors and regular folks driving around in rams are using anything but the cheapest fuel they can find. I am willing to bet most...

    89 octane recommend, does it really make a difference?

    I've recently been doing the same. I've tried all different grades and multiple tanks and get different results all the time. I swear 91-93 seems to give me the best throttle response though, mileage meh it doesn't seem to matter what I put in it. I will say though 89 is usually the worst for me...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    I had active cruise on my tacoma, it was great for those long backroad routes where you cannot pass and are stuck behind someone for miles on end. But it is horrible for any highway driving in the city. I always got the worst mileage using active cruise, 2nd place was regular cruise and first...

    Oil change every 12 months

    That's a good investment!

    Just Bought the 2021 North Edition asked dealer for Best Leveling kit and they tried to sell me some 85.00 Spacers?

    cheapest and easiest is spacers, but as others mentioned ride can be impacted. Next option would be adjustable front struts like the Bilstein 5100s. I have the 5100's and recommend that route. With the 5100s you have 5 settings for the factory 1" lift. There are other choices as well for struts...

    steering/truck feels loose and unstable

    Could be number of things, a good suspension shop/alignment inspection can probably better diagnose. Could be bad ball joints on the upper control arms or perhaps your caster angle is off. Too low of caster will cause the front to feel loose or flightly. You see this a lot with Jeeps that have...

    Oil change every 12 months

    Wow! That is a lot higher than I expected, I figured 100-150ish max. Does that include fuel filters too or is that a separate thing all together if separate what's the recommended interval for fuel. I haven't had a diesel in years, last one I had was 97 f250 with the 7.3 ( sold it in 2017). I...

    Oil change every 12 months

    What's the cost for an oil change on the ecodiesel running, just curious?

    Waze For Android Auto Log In Issue

    I had the same issue, ended up just not using waze for about 2 months. Then one day I logged in on my phone and then turned on Android Auto and it started working. Now for whatever reason it no longer shows up as a option in AAuto anymore...

    Oil change every 12 months

    I've always been told at least once a year if you do not reach the mileage. My Grandmother had a 89 Buick that my dad had the oil changed every year. I think that car had less than 20k miles in 2005 and still smelled like a new car and ran like new. Fuel dilution is a factor in all vehicles to...
