I live in Arkansas. Lots of days over 100 degrees in the summer with relative humidity over 90%. Black interior is not really a problem. Most of our vehicles have them. We just need to make sure and close the sunroof shade when we get out. And on our older vehicles, we leave a window open...

Today I was driving home from work in my Charger Daytona. I started to change lanes to the left when I noticed a late model Corolla right in my blind spot. I almost merged into it. After I moved back into my lane, the driver honked at me. I then automatically honked back, gave them an angry...

First, most vehicles nowadays have plastic body panels some place on them. Matching the paint color is basic. It may not 100% perfect on all light. But it should be close enough that no one notices if they don't know to. A body shop that can't achieve this really can't do the most basic...

Nope. That's a REAL thing, obviously. :unsure:

On our 2019 Charger Scat Pack, we had our go-to window tint folks do the clear wrap on the front bumper cover. We ran it through a very nice car wash with brushes all the time. It did just fine. Like the stuff on our car, if you had tint especially designed for those uses installed...

Yep. They made the change about halfway through the 2021 production run.

Not my 5th Gen Laramie, but I drove my 3rd Gen Ram to a job today. It was an almost 6-hour round trip. So I wanted to see if a long trip might clear out the vibration/"semi-miss" while accelerating. I drove around 80 mph for most of the trip and the truck did okay. New tires and 1.5" level...

We welcome HD Ram owners here with us. But there is a Ram HD forum where there are many HD Ram owners. You should join there too: https://hdrams.com/forum/

I finally found some imagines of the ambient lighting in this thread: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2021-laramie-ambient-lighting.27973/ Looks like I can get 68312667AC x2 for $12.97 each and 68291948AC for $16.80 at Parts World Direct in the DFW area. Total with tax and shipping...

Anybody got photos of some installed working examples of what we are supposed to be missing? Our Laramie interior lights up like a Christmas tree. So I can't quite envision what I don't have. :unsure:

Okay..... I got my "Excel on" and actually figured up my registration costs in Arkansas for 2020 including the personal property taxes. It's actually a little cheaper than I described. This is all registration-related costs for all vehicles I owned and registered in 2020. Two have antique...

What's wrong with the rear doors? They sound fine to me. 🤨

Okay. Just for fun, let us say their little box could reverse corrosion on zinc with a radio signal. The little box would then need to be turned off so the zinc could begin slowly corroding again. That would induce a very small positive charge on the exposed steel and that might reduce its...

Okay, so it's not cathodic protection. It's supposedly a radio (electromagnetic) signal generator that keeps exposed zinc from oxidizing. I don't see how that would help with an area where the zinc layer is already damaged. I've never seen where radio signals were used for this purpose...

Active cathodic corrosion protection has been around since World War II. In my earlier environmental engineering days, I installed these on service station tanks. It works extremely well on many underground and submerged systems. But a vehicle is not grounded to earth. So I'm not sure how...

Theoretically, installing a catch can should not void the warranty unless it causes the problem. However, from the reports we read here on this forum and others, if a dealer or warranty representative is looking for a reason not to cover a problem, they can possibly use any aftermarket item...

That will be a very sad day indeed. 😢

In Arkansas, tags are very cheap. My son just got his and paid around $28. The catch is the personal property tax. The state assigns each vehicle you have a "value" that doesn't match anything in the real world. It's like they adjust vehicle value to what it was in the 1960s and then you pay...

Thirty or forty years from now, a great or great-great-grandson will see one of us in an old photo beside our truck. He will ask his father, "Is that great grandpa? Wow! Look at his big old truck. Did that run on gasoline?" His father will say, "Yeah, that's him and that big old truck was...

T'ain't got no Hemi. Nuff said. 🤠
