    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    My uncle owns sixteen tractors and a fleet of trailers for over forty years and they use exclusively Stanadyne during the fall/winter/spring to prevent issues. Likewise, Dad was also a truck driver for his career and I rode in his IH Transtar and his Peterbuilts during summer vacation and...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    You don’t need life or health insurance either but I’ll bet you have it. Additives reduce the risk…each owner has their acceptable level of risk. Additives DO work after using them for the past 40+ years especially if you get a questionable batch of diesel. I’ve been on the side of the...

    Coolant Changed color

    There are two types of the same Mopar OAT coolant…100% and a 50/50 mix. You can pour the 50/50 straight in without diluting. Follow the dilution directions on the 100% jug as you’ll need to dilute with distilled water. 50/50 Mopar Part No. 68163849AB 100%. Mopar Part No. 68163848AB And NEVER...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I don't recommend anyone talk about extended warranty with your dealer until you have the price from Zeigler (www.chryslerfactoryplans.com) as your benchmark. Read the link below and you'll find the PAYFULL or other discount codes you can utilize to get your quote online and then use it as the...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    Agreed. I'm simply referring to gelling as a generalization of the results of diesel cloud point. Diesel gelling, icing, wax dropout (regardless of sulfur content) is a direct result of the cloud point of the diesel which has a direct effect on flow. In the winter, utilize quality diesel...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    You've posted excellent points however (and I may be wrong) but the tank isn't heated and if you've got #2 in your tank at -20F or -30F, the diesel will be thick if not gelled. I grew up in Alaska for the first 51 years of my life (yes, I moved to Texas to thaw out during the last 1/3 of my...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    I'd recommend the Sam's Club in Wallkill or the Pilot Travel Center at Newburgh, NY.

    Backcountry (or Big Horn in general) come with power fold mirrors?

    We have and have had had 2019, 2020 and 2021 Ram 1500s (LoneStar/Big Horn and Laramie trims) in the extended family and the 2019 LoneStar/Big Horn mirrors were the worst performing for all of us. Our deal replaced the 2019 mirrors in 2020 and they were never a problem after that. Our 2020 and...

    News on a tune?

    I had to do a search to find this on their website but also found it odd they state "First, our products are legal on all US roads governed by the EPA." however they also have a section on the CARB for California indicating "not legal for street use unless a CARB Executive Order" is issued...so...

    FCA factory extended warranty verification

    Then you're a damned fool for paying for an extended warranty and not reading the contract - and having a copy of it in your possession. I'm out...GregHBNA can take it from here.

    FCA factory extended warranty verification

    Well, sometimes it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. Thanks for eliminating any ounce of doubt.

    FCA factory extended warranty verification

    Well, you see, I deal with contract law as a profession thus I know my contracts and have done so for 35 years. I did see "Governing Law" thus the reason I never made reference to venue. Your entire premise that this is for a used vehicle is shot. Wish to try again? And I don't care what...

    FCA factory extended warranty verification

    And pages 6 and 7 contains all exclusionary clauses noted in GregHBNA's post...so what's your point?

    FCA factory extended warranty verification

    The brochure means nothing in a court of law. They look at the contract/plan you purchased. That contract/plan contains the terms of the Agreement. https://www.chryslerfactoryplans.com/library/documents/49-20-323_New_Maximum_Care_Plan_Provisions.pdf See starting page 6...that is what a...

    FCA factory extended warranty verification

    That list is exactly what is on every Mopar Vehicle Protection Plan document when you purchase a Mopar extended warranty. I have it on my new Ram and that is verbatim what is in my plan. FCA's lawyers covered FCAs hiney with all the exclusions... The Plan document clearly states up front what...

    Heated seats not very warm.

    Another thought…leather seats on your Longhorn could impact the amount of heat transfer versus my cloth seats. Even the leather Laramie seats of my daughter are not as warm as my cloth Big Horn seats.

    Heated seats not very warm.

    Wow! 74.6 seems very low. I’d recommend a second opinion from another dealer.
