    Fuel economy

    Why are you concerned about the fuel economy? It sounds like you are getting what the window sticker for a 25 limited with HO Hurricane should be getting. The window sticker on my 23 Limited with Hemi says it should get a few MPG better than the 25 with HO Hurricane but the HO is rated at...

    Dead battery #2 eTorque output question

    Water in the battery tray is very common and nothing to be concerned about. The engine compartment is not water tight. Just open your hood and look after driving through a rain storm. Some people drill drain holes but I believe that defeats the purpose of a battery tray. It's there to...

    33 gallon tank and fuel gauge

    I don't think the OP is describing a problem. I don't remember owning a vehicle that would accept the advertised fuel tank quantity and the distance to empty is just an estimate based on some calculation of previous fuel economy. A 33 gallon tank is likely to hold less than 33 gallons of...

    Battery Tender recommendation for our trucks?...

    By all means, be precise and tell us exactly what comments about 1 amp capabilities are absurd and make a logical argument to support your position. A 1 amp maintainer will charge a severely discharged car battery in about 60 hours and that's a fact. I used a 1 amp maintainer on the trolling...

    Battery Tender recommendation for our trucks?...

    Ignorant nonsense. No one is suggesting the "cheapest crap". As a matter of fact nearly all the suggestions were of the exact same manufacture; just different amp ratings. You are completely ignoring the OP's expressed need and use. He's looking for a maintainer for when the vehicle sits...

    Battery Tender recommendation for our trucks?...

    Absolutely, but manufactures and marketing people know many will blindly believe more is better and will pay more money to get it whether they need it or not. Given the need the OP expressed, a 1amp charger will be more than adequate to meet the need and a 5amp charger will provide no...

    Battery Tender recommendation for our trucks?...

    If you just need it to maintain the charge of a good battery a 1 amp maintainer/charger is all you need. Even if the battery is somewhat depleted a 1 amp maintainer will eventually charge the battery if the truck sits for a few days. If you need it to charge a depleted battery overnight you...

    Built in navigation doesn't find any addresses

    Hold the power button in for about 10 seconds to reset Uconnect and it will probably work.

    Built in navigation doesn't find any addresses

    It should work for any address that existed when your maps were last updated.

    Off-Roading in 2019 Ram 1500

    Steep inclines and declines are not the problem. The problem with off-roading in a stock Ram is approach/departure angles and ground clearance. In the sand, the weight of the vehicle is a huge disadvantage. Nearly bald aired down highway tires will do better in the sand than an AT tire.

    AC in my 23 is fantastic.

    REVERSE AUX LIGHTING

    LOL! Most of the aircraft I worked on are on pedestals now. F-5s, F-15A-D, DC-9......

    REVERSE AUX LIGHTING

    I think some here are confusing voltage with current (amps). Voltage is simply the potential for current flow but the current is what powers the component. When you said the lights started off being very dim, that sounds like a current issue. It's entirely possible to have a wire or wire...

    REVERSE AUX LIGHTING

    Absolutely. I was an aircraft electrical/environmental systems technician for 21 years while in the Air Force and crimp splices and terminations were considered temporary repairs even though QA often looked the other way when temporary became a very long time. The preferred method for wire...

    180 degree thermostat

    Most of my debates are with fools encouraging others to waste their money who refuse to provide proof for their foolish claims. Provide some evidence of benefit to your foolish claim and I'll admit I'm wrong.

    180 degree thermostat

    Typical 3rd grade "I'm taking my ball and going home" response when someone is incapable of supporting a position.

    180 degree thermostat

    In other words, you have no evidence whatsoever of any kind of benefit.

    Just stating facts. I fail to see the joke.

    180 degree thermostat

    You are confusing a measurable change with a measurable benefit. There is no evidence whatsoever than reducing the temperature a meager 40 degrees provides any benefit whatsoever in the 5.7 Hemi designed to run at the hotter temperature..

    180 degree thermostat

    Yes, and that's a benefit of opposing views on a social media forum. If a few people learn that there is no benefit to what they are thinking about doing, they will instead feel better about not wasting their money.
