    Best Dash Cam

    I am not a fan of the DR590. How much do you want to spend? It's not only about cost, but what you are interested in. Low profile? Need a viewing screen or OK with downloading video from the camera to your phone? Lots of nice options and the newer VIOFO cameras are a great option.

    Rain Sensing Wipers (Not equipped but have the part)

    The rain sensing wipers are WAY over rated. I never used it since it's not very reliable IMPO.

    Thoughts on Dealer Installed Michelins to replace stock 22" before shipping ?

    I installed the Defender's on my truck and LOVE them. Excellent tires. If you are going for looks, the AT3 is a great tire, but it's much heavier and will not handle as well on main roads. I wasn't going for looks when I started shopping, but safety, ride quality and low noise. I also look for...

    AGM or Lead Acid Battery

    To some, nothing. To me, it is the most highly rated and most reliable battery on the market. EnerSys/Northstar makes Odyssey and the X2. The same identical batteries coming out of the same factory. I had a long conversation about a year a go with a top EnerSys Northstar Engineer when I was...

    AGM or Lead Acid Battery

    I sent that because I do not believe there is an H8 X2 available...only the one I sent above. I would have zero issues buying an H7 X2 battery.

    Oil Preference?

    Oil Preference?

    If I lived in a cold climate, I would probably stick with the 5W20 in the cold months and switch in the warmer months. In warm climates, I don't think you would have any issues using a higher viscosity oil or ensuring proper lubrication. Not an oil engineer or an engine designer. The 0W20 - 5W20...

    Oil Preference?

    I believe that the creation of 0W20 and 5W20 was solely for the purpose of manufacturers meeting more stringent mileage requirements. I also believe that it's not rocket science to come to that conclusion fairly easily based on past history.

    Oil Preference?

    5W20 is all about economy and nothing about longevity. I totally agree with your assessment.

    Here's a Labeled Fuse Diagram for the 1500

    Let's start with these questions...how much DC current does the power station and fridge draw? Is the ridge AC or DC? Happy to help you design a circuit once I know what your are attempting to connect and their voltage/current draws.

    Power inverter capacity

    Incorrect!

    Power inverter capacity

    Correct. People are confusing AC and DC. The inverter is AC power. 400W is about 3 amps. You can’t plug in much with only 3A. A computer is fine. P=IV I=P/V 400W/120V=3.3A

    Ram Limited Dash issue

    This just goes to show that FCA has done nothing to resolve the issue which is extremely disappointing. My 19 dash did this and royally ****** me off. The glue the vendor is using is the issue. It either doesn't go well with UV or heat. Regardless, you would think that, by now, someone would...
