    I have owned mine since 1992. Before that my dad owned it. It only has 40000 miles on it.

    Floor Mat Recall

    I took mine in for the annual state inspection and an oil change on Friday. The service manager mentioned the floor mat recall and said they had new ones in stock. They switched it, and I was out of there in about an hour with everything done.

    Antifreeze smell

    I never really checked it in the info center, but the temp gauge itself never goes above 1/3 or so.

    Antifreeze smell

    Mine smells like antifreeze around the right front too right after I shut it off. The cap on the overflow tank is not air tight, it is vented. I think the smell is normal due to the cap design. Open the hood and check it when you shut the truck off when it's warmed up. My wife's Grand Cherokee...

    Dealer and Chrysler refusing to Repair damage from dealer lot

    I would take a PDR repair with a tiny spot of touch-up paint any day over a resprayed panel that will cause a whole new set of problems and complaints. Keep the factory finish whenever possible.

    How long to drive to fully charge battery?

    I put a 2 amp battery tender on my Challenger ( that rarely gets driven ) and it will take 8 hours or so to fully charge it. A 12 amp charger will usually do it in an hour or 2.

    Scotch Guard

    I didn't use it on this truck but I did on my last one. I can't really say if it helped or not. The seats looked good after 5 years, but I don't really know how they would have been without it. Be sure to mask off any plastic trim around the seats, it left a white stain that was hard to clean...

    White letters or not?

    My truck (Bighorn black appearance package) which I ordered came in with blackwalls. I had the dealer switch them to white letters before I took delivery. I agree with everyone who says they make it pop.

    Brand new Ram has rust.

    Looks totally normal to me. Rust spots on the frame can be touched up. (there are lots of "rust treatments" out there). Rust on exhaust manifolds like in your 2nd photo happens all the time and most paints will burn off ,whether they are for high temps or not. Your truck probably cost more than...

    Random Foam Square on Driver Floorboard?

    This probably sounds crazy but I found the same thing on the floor in my truck yesterday. It was laying on the driver's side floor mat. I had been at a doctor appt. earlier and I thought maybe it was something from there that stuck on my foot?? I looked around under the dash too and couldn't...

    Anti slip or E locker for snow/ice

    I have had trucks with limited slip and open rears, I never had one with the E-locker. The one place I noticed the open rear was a problem was pulling out from a stop during the rain, especially on a hill. Normally you would just be in 2WD, and would sit there spinning. With the E-locker you...

    Do I need skid plates?

    With my last truck I hit a deer. It went under the truck, then thumped and banged its way underneath and finally came out the back. I wasn't off road, but was driving on the highway going to work. The truck didn't suffer any damage other than a cracked grill, but the way it sounded underneath, I...

    Scratches under clear coat

    It looks to me like that area was worked on before. It may have been "touched up" at the factory, or by the dealer.

    Cabin air filter

    Maybe it is for the 2019 classic, which is a 4th generation truck.
