    WeatherTech Floor Liners Suck

    Ok, I f-ed up. I bought Weather Tech fronts for my Ram, I thought the cocoa color would blend nicely with my Blk/ New Saddle Int. My wife was right, they don't match. I haven't used them so I'm going to return them. Now I need to get a suitable replacement in black. The Mopar set is...

    Elocker traction control, limited slip (posi?) a bit confused. What does it all mean...

    Thanks for the reply. The only mention on my Monrony is the 3.92 gears. I guess I have open diffs. Must be 3 wheel drive?

    Elocker traction control, limited slip (posi?) a bit confused. What does it all mean...

    I believe that every car, not sure about trucks req traction control after 2014, Federal mandate. In the old days, if you do a burn out and lay a 2- wheeled patch, you had posi. A one wheel wonder meant an open dif and would lay a one wheeled patch. My nicely outfitted Laramie Longhorn does...

    2019 Ram 1500 vs 2019 Ford F-150 Limited

    It was Audi that caught the industry asleep with their upscale interiors in the 1990's. 2019 Dodge does the same thing except w/ the 1500!

    The new Nissan Leaf has so much braking that some can drive it with one pedal. Nissan? Git a rope!

    My 2.7T F150 hit 19.5MPG avg. According to the computer in the truck. Maybe I should have kept it. Mostly Hwy miles 70-75MPH.

    The NEW 5.7L HEMI with eTorque

    Battery packs are rebuildable and cheap to purchase from non-OE sources. I don't see the battery pak as much of a liability.

    What Options are a rip-off...

    Well the etorque is SUPPOSE to save 2-3mpg, smooth out shifts and give that jucy extra 120 fl lbs. I will know soon about the mileage savings... Adds weight an complexity. But it's kind of cool too. If gas hits $4 it might pay for it's self.

    What Options are a rip-off...

    Just traded my '16 F150 on a 2019 LL. Having worked at a dealership/ common knowledge: The dealer is more willing to deal on a vehicle that is on his lot. That said the internet makes it easy (easier) to get a machine to your specs, or close. I am not super picky, but here was my criteria...

    Just traded my '16 F150 (junk)

    My F150 was a 2.7 and it made good power. It never sounded good when running weak, wheezy- especially when idling. I put 27500mi on in 2- years of ownership. I was pretty fast when you put your foot into it. The '16 Fords have the 6-speed auto, newer ones have the GM/ Ford 10 speed. In...

    Just traded my '16 F150 (junk)

    Picked up a Laramie Longhorn. I sat in one this summer w/ 12" screen and the fancy interior, it made my F150 look like chit. Even at higher trims the F150 looks Mitsubishi plasticy! The new Silverado loos TOTALLY lame! I used to be a chevy guy (454 rad). I got the etorque 5.7, anxious to see...
