    Beer - what are you drinking / brewing thread

    Our home "fridge beer" is Yuengling Light, but I tend towards stouts, sours and ciders otherwise. Have a few local craft breweries we hit now and then. Always try to get local stuff when traveling. My Untapped is Grimgreg

    Grinding noise at initial take off that goes away.

    Without hearing it, my first guess would be a sticking brake caliper causing the pads to drag.

    Back Country bumper touch up paint code?

    Yes, the Black Crystal or whatever they call it. I just got a Duplicolor touch up pen for mine the other day.

    Should I have gone with the 12" screen?

    No, it is not. It is an issue with many new 22s. It is a software issue, Ram Connect has a lot of open tickets for it. They pushed an update last week that did nothing, and the guy I talked to sounded so deflated when I told him it did nothing to fix the issue.

    What's Your RAM story?

    After 30 years of used vehicles, my Ram is my first new vehicle. I never wanted to be stuck with a car payment, and until now, I hadn't ever been able to save enough to buy new at the time I needed to replace my vehicle. My last truck, an 03 Nissan Frontier, was a great work truck. I bought it...

    Should I have gone with the 12" screen?

    No regrets getting the 12" yet. If nothing else it just makes the whole center stack look sleek and modern. There are just the right selection of physical knobs and button controls for me. Even with the steering wheel controls, most of the time I use the volume knob instead. To me, the 8.4 looks...

    Yep, felt secure when I pushed it in, just flopped right out with the go pedal.

    2022 Backcountry test drive

    I'm guessing it is due to my case, it is a leather wallet type.

    2022 Backcountry test drive

    Nope, honestly didn't want it, I keep my phone in a case. I just plug my phone in and put it in the otherwise useless cubby where they would have put the CD player. I tried using the cradle where the wireless would be and it just flopped into the bottom of the console when I left a stop light.

    2022 Backcountry test drive

    I have had mine a month, and just got back from a 2000 mile round trip in it. One of the smoothest, quietest, most comfortable rides I have had making that trip. The 3 other vehicles I have done the same trip in the past were a 2018 Caravan, 2018 Infiniti QX30, and a 2017 Tesla S. No lie...

    Burning rubber smell in 4wd

    Could the smell be from the clutches in the T case?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yeah, had some time to kill before hotel check in time. Was 1400 on the odo at that point, 3 weeks from delivery.

    Dear people who keep their tow mirrors extended when not towing…

    Avoid the blue ones, especially the gravy.

    2022 Uconnect 5 Traffic and Weather

    My case is level 3 as well. I was discussing the problem with the salesman who handled my sale, as he just bought a new Laramie. All his apps function properly, so I wonder if the issue is with the difference in integrated options? Though I guess the service tech and service mgr, after working...

    After a 1,563 year generation...the next gen Tundra!

    I had been shopping for a new truck for about 2 years, it was down to a Ram or Tundra, then they released this junk pile of a redesign. Besides being the fugliest brick known to man, the interior is more compact, the infotainment looks like they glued an iPad on the dash, the bed is plastic like...

    Jeep --> Ram

    I wasn't going to get the sunroof on mine, but I remembered in my old truck all the times I was hauling long objects that hung over the roof, and I couldn't see if they were behaving, or flopping around.
