    Falken WildPeak Tire Pressures

    Empty truck, I might go with 36 front and 32-34 rear for mpg. Depends on the daily weight you are carrying. If the center of the tread is wearing more than the sides, you are overinflated. Sides more than the middle, you are underinflated. Cheers Gerry

    Ok. I looked for new colors for 2019. BFG was one of them. No mention of a different Black. Sorry, absolutely no help to you... Looks like I missed the perfect opportunity to shut up. Cheers! Gerry

    Falken WildPeak Tire Pressures

    I am hoping to take my Ram to Colorado for some offroading. Mostly easy trails in Rocky Mountain National Park, Alpine Loop and the easy trails into and out of Telluride. Should I air down? Should I remove the running boards? Should I ask these questions somewhere else? Cheers Gerry

    Could it be "Black Forest Green"?

    Add Me to the List: Water Leaking

    I went and visited the truck today. It was in a body shop with the front fender removed. They did a nice job of applying seam sealer to a joint that was way forward of where the water was coming in as well as it was below the bottom of the windshield. They said they will water test on Monday...

    Well, if you want a quiet truck, you want low volume black. If you don't care about noise, go with regular. Sorry. Low volume might mean some kind of limited edition? Gerry

    Issues at 2000 miles

    Well, those backup cams haven't been around for thirty years. To be fair, working on these vehicles nowadays us an ever changing deal. Those guys have to work on old stuff as well as the "cutting edge" new stuff. With a new model, there probably is no training until someone figures out how to...

    Issues at 2000 miles

    I had to laugh... I wonder if some of these techs are on the phone to some helpline in India or somewhere and have to work through a flowchart... Cheers Gerry

    Issues at 2000 miles

    It seems like the troubleshooting failed. When you can't troubleshoot, you are reduced to swapping parts until fixed. It seems that some dealers pay for good mechanics, and some only pay for people who can read the obd codes.

    Need everyone’s opinion

    That's the reason I went with Billet Silver instead of Delmo Red.

    4wd auto vs 4wd Low vs 4wd High

    It depends on how fast you want to go. In 4lo your top speed may be 35-40 mph. Think first gear on a ten speed bike. Good for crawling out of some deep s**t. Otherwise, 4hi for normal speeds. Gerry

    Ocassional switch into 4WD just to keep it lubed?

    On my 2004 Sierra, I switched to 4wd high at least once a year in the winter. No ill effects after 15 years. It can't hurt to do it more often, but I don't think it's necessary. Gerry

    Rear end slight wobble/shake. And MDS

    If you feel this while barely moving, it must be a bent wheel, bent axle, loose lug nuts or an out of round tire. What I would do is put the truck up on jack stands so all four wheels are off the ground, then start it and put it in drive and watch the rear wheels spin to see if they run true...

    How to unlock a truck with a dead battery?

    I bet you're glad you asked here instead of going ahead and busting out a window!! What kind of key hole was that? :) Gerry

    What is the average/expected time between ordering a new truck, and getting it?

    I would think that at the beginning of the model year run that all the dealers are putting their orders in and unless your order is in with the first wave, you might be waiting a long time. But that's just a guess... Gerry

    I had sauerkraut and Hacker Pschorr last night. Where's your truck? Cheers Gerry

    cabin vents - where are they?

    Just guessing, but they might relieve cabin pressure when you close the doors. Gerry

    Add Me to the List: Water Leaking

    I'd have to look, but I don't think it could make its way over unless it went around the back seats or something. There are others that have had leaks around the back window area, usually associated with a crack in the trim around the rear window. Also, if you have the pano sunroof, there have...
