    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I didn't order, I bought off the lot; but the only regret I have is not finding and buying one with a 3:21. I'd love to be in Econ mode at 73 mph.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Almost every problem I have had with my Dakota has been related to the rust. I would exclude the 6 or so rear differential rebuilds it has had. A rusty vehicle becomes very difficult to maintain. I'm amazed I've gotten 21 years out of it. It has plenty of cancerous body holes, coolant leaks...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Hit my 1 yr anniversary Jan 31st. It's under a cover right now, enduring February winter in Indiana. I'm driving my 21 yr old beater to keep the salt off of the Ram.

    Hey, that's a DIFFERENT bike!

    You can see my dual sport in my avatar photo. Super jealous of your scenery! I must get out west. Appalachia is the best I can do from Indiana.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Wow, that looks incredible! I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota, in blue. I just hit 200,000 miles on it Monday. I live in the snow belt, so it's absolutely rusted out but I drove it to work today in 4x4 mode and it runs fine. It does leak coolant constantly, in locations I cannot repair without an...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Now that I am enduring my first winter with my 2021, I'm really thinking a block heater is a good investment. I have the 5.7L and I'm fairly sure there are some write ups in 5thgenrams to help through the installation. As it is now, I'm almost all the way to work by the time the truck is warm...

    Gives it a Mopar muscle vibe

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    A very interesting side hustle! Do your clients run the gamut of demand, or are they primarily tourism based? While an RV is seen as primarily tourist based, anyone needing temporary housing would be a potential client. The portability and delivery are bonuses. That price per night is much...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The repair cost $125. Heat and metal shaping techniques were applied. You can see a bit of discoloration where the heat was applied, but no blistering of the powder coat. There is also some bare metal showing, which I could touch up. Since it's aluminum, it's not going to corrode in a...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I kept my 2001 Dodge Dakota, partly because it's a 5-spd and I really don't want to give up shifting. It's part of the fun of the driving experience.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Very nice. I have found that 63mph provides the best compromise between fuel economy and getting there in a reasonable time. If I was going on a trip over an hour's time, I couldn't bear driving that slowly. I prefer 75-79 if I'm going out of state. But at 63mph on flat interstate I can get...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The Night Edition includes the 22" wheels, and I have kept them. Speaking of 22" wheels, they're quite vulnerable being so close to the pavement. I hit this road damage on Sunday and lost the air in my tire. It won't inflate above 20psi. Very ugly.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Are you serious with that fuel economy?! That's unreal! I'm lucky to have 15, and I have the same engine / differential. You're in ecoDiesel territory.

    How soon they forget, eh? Didn't the ice storm in Texas last year almost bring down the whole country? It has its own Wikipedia page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_13%E2%80%9317,_2021_North_American_winter_storm

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Sorry to hear that, I am 3 weeks away from my 1 year anniversary and my Laramie has been drama free. Very happy with it. All the things I feared from previewing ownership for a year before I bought -- abrupt power downs leaving drivers on the side of the road, 12" screen failures, rear glass...
