    Windshield Wipers suck.

    I have them on a SUV, a sedan and my Ram.. So far they have been flawless. I live in Houston, tons of rain in the last month. I don't know why some hate them. I wonder if they are manufactured in several places? I did find these on Amazon and I'm tempted to try these on my sedan in the...

    Windshield Wipers suck.

    I never experienced anything close to what you describe. At the time of my purchase Project Farm made it easier.

    Windshield Wipers suck.

    The wipers do suck. I had the same situation lots of unwiped lines. I researched wiper blades and found these to be most solid. I put them on all 3 of my vehicles. Not one complaint. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Michelin-Endurance-XT-Advanced-Silicone-Wiper-Blade-24-Last-2X-Longer/486684585

    How to properly wash truck

    Yes, When I bought my truck and I brought it to a local paint correction specialist they took my hand and moved it all over the truck. It felt prickly. They told me that that was called overspray. When I got my truck back all the "over spray" was gone. They used clay bars, they are so...

    How to properly wash truck

    I have black paint. I used to go to Kwik Kar and yes the materials they use cause paint swirls and scratches. Last year I spent $500. on deep claybar and ceramic and got it perfect. I have not seen any issue thus far. My package gets my truck soaped 2x at different spots in the wash, soap...

    How to properly wash truck

    I have a subscription for my three vehicles at Mister Car Wash. They are all over the country in many cities. My truck always looks pristine. I can go every day and multiple times a day too. They use large strips of blue felt to clean, nothing that will scratch. At the onset they will spray...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Today I received my order for 3 Valentine 1 Gen 2's. The install took all of ~ one minute. All the jacks and "stuff" are the same as the Gen1. I must have bought 30 Escorts and a dozen Valentine units over the years. I wrote to them via email with a bit of a friendly rant and surprisingly...

    Anyone have their windshield replaced yet? Decision!

    I agree, Glass coverage is few and far. I did have it 4 years ago with Amica Insurance House and cars, I was with them for years. I sold a Jag convert and the algorithms caused my policy to jump sky high on the auto portion. Si=o I went to the Hartford AARP and every year I get a invitation...

    My Truck Just Stopped!!!

    Last year after similar issues I tossed the lousy factory battery and installed the H8 AGM much more power for a truck. FCA stuck battery's that belong in sedans not Ram Trucks. The H8's fit in like a glove. FCA put a little plastic wedge to accommodate the smaller H7. Snap out the wedge...

    OEM Security Alarm

    I have been corresponding with with some ideas. They will be making upgrades in the near future. You will have those sliders in the app to turn off some of the too many different type of alarms. Also they can Bluetooth to a chirp/siren under your hood. My Viper sends out a warning chirp. I...

    CarPlay Doesn’t Work if Too Hot

    The days in Houston can be Xtra hot, that is the main reason I put window visors on my truck and car and SUV. It helps very much in letting the hot air out. My truck had a blue screen too many times.

    OEM Security Alarm

    It really does work. Our built in alarms are useless when the thief pops your glass using a nail and jumps in the window. The thief never opens your door. You will know what happened within seconds. Last night while sleeping I didn't know that we had very heavy thunder and rain. My phone...

    Mopar Window Deflector Install

    I have the ERG's. I had the Mopar's they are made by ERG. The Mopar's are inferior in every way. The ERG's are as good as Weather-Tech. ( I have Weather-Tech's on two vehicle's.) The ERG's are thicker, they have lots of give without snapping. There are no steel clips to destroy your...

    OEM Security Alarm

    No question Viper is excellent and expensive for getting all the options. If your door is opened with a blue box fob your alarm will not sound. Those boxes are plenty in Houston. Even if one of your Family takes the keys while you may be at a neighbors house, you will still get several...

    OEM Security Alarm

    After a rear window break in, and repairs costing ~$6,000 I went ahead and had a Viper alarm installed utilizing the factory key fob. The Viper cost me ~$650. Its a big improvement in the trucks security. Recently I found a security system that beats all of them and it takes only 30 seconds...
