    2019 Ram Rebel Lemon...how can I give it back?

    Just for curiosity, are you telling us the calculated miles via the truck or are you hand calculating? If by truck, who knows, maybe the ground issue is/was causing bad readings, just food for thought. Glad you got it back, if it acts up again or some of the same symptoms are there, take it in...

    2019 Ram Rebel Lemon...how can I give it back?

    We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. It’s all about doing business in a professional manner from the first phone call to the trade in on the next purchase. I’ve worked with many different dealers the last 20 years. Experience has taught me, be an educated consumer, realistic and...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    If that is the case, a dealer visit is definitely in order. The Alpine system is WAY better than the stock 6 speaker system.

    Kayaking, Boating

    When I had my kayak, we did a lot of bay fishing and our general rule was 110 degrees between water and air temp. on how we dressed for air temp. to be comfortable. If less than 110, our dry suits were required. FWIW, some use 100 degrees as the baseline but we fished many days when the...

    2019 Ram Rebel Lemon...how can I give it back?

    Put yourself in the dealer’s shoes and then compare the people working on it like you and your work. Do you go to work every day, want to do a good job and make customers happy? Of course you do. The dealer and it’s employees are the same way. Sure, you can run into some shifty ones here and...

    Amp steps

    I spoke to a dealer about this just today while getting some service done on my truck. He said they can add them so that it is just like factory but he said I’d pay much more for them and he suggested just going to an accessory shop. I wouldn’t need those guys, I’d just install them myself but...

    Pressure washers?

    I’d suggest researching this on YouTube. Lots of reviews and you can see how they actually perform. Most are going to steer you towards an electric power washer in the 1750 range that you can get at HD, Lowe’s and Harbor freight for about $100. You’ll want a foam cannon as well, if you get a...

    Squeak after leveling kit install

    I am "that guy" ;) You've summarized it nicely. My issue was the brake caliper pins, not the suspension.

    Any risk to leaving the dealer plastic on the glove box door?

    A friend of mine’s sister did this exact same thing on a Ford Ranger years ago. It ended up creating permanent marks when she removed them years later. Looked like crap! She thought it would maintain value.... As for the Italian thing. My grandma is 100% Italian and yes, she had the “parlor”...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    I wouldn’t mind losing some volume from my dash on my alpine system. While many want the sound as forward as possible the alpine front just doesn’t blend well enough with the doors. I’m thinking about going another route and bringing the corners into the pillars facing eachother or slightly...

    Woble at highway speeds

    Have you been to the dealer? I don’t like to give dealers an area to focus on, simply tell them the symptoms, they’re the experts, let them figure it out. The power of suggestion is huge. For example, if you tell them you think it’s the drivers side front tire, guess what, they’ll balance...

    Upgrading speakers for dummies

    Just do some browsing around. This is a heavily talked about subject. Specifically, many are replacing the dash speakers and receiving great results. There is a recent thread about the types of speakers people used, the ohms, wire adapters required and even tools that may be needed. There is...

    Too good to be true?

    I always tell people that the 2nd buyer is the one that takes the depreciation, not the original buyer and this deal is exemplifying exactly that. Obtaining 11k off sticker literally took a 5 minutes phone call for me on my truck. If the dealer were to put my truck on the lot today, they would...

    Alpine speakers

    The speakers in the ram probably go for about $15 each. They’re not high quality by any means.

    Alpine speakers

    You’re not going to get the sound from just buying speakers. It’s a “whole” system thing that makes “that sound” as there is an amp, subwoofer and then of course speaker placement. You could however create a system that would blow the alpine away, it just comes down to budget. A component...

    Experienced RV Owners please provide feedback

    Unfortunately I cannot. I’ve been out of it for about 5 years and haven’t stayed up with the models. 5 years in the TT world is a lifetime with all the changes they make yearly. What worked best for my wife and I was going to shows and walking many RV dealer lots to figure out the floor plan we...

    Potential new Owner; I have some configuration questions

    Ditto, it's best to be an educated consumer walking in and then you can quickly get an idea of the character of the sales associate you work with and see where their BS meters. Being educated thought, you can quickly look at the trucks on the lot and know which ones you want to inspect further...

    Potential new Owner; I have some configuration questions

    You’re going to get frustrated shopping online via the configurator. I’d recommend getting familiar with the different trim levels and then visit some dealer lots, kick some tires, take some test rides. You’re going to learn certain things are not available on certain trims. Bullet point your...

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    My only experience with AC testing on an amps output was to set my levels. From what I understand, the only way to test polarity of an amp’s output is to see if there is continuity between the the amp’s power supply ground and negative side of the speaker output. If continuity is established...
