I say it's a Hard No. Ram's business model won't make it feasible to be backward compatible with older vehicles because that would hurt sales of new vehicles, so they'll just make it work with new vehicles exclusively by making even just simple redesigns and reconfigurations so the components...

I ain't gonna lie: I feel a LOT better about mine now... thanks for sharing! :eek: Interestingly enough, every element seen in Mr. Owen's car is in the Longhorn (right down to the cap guns I mentioned), with the exception of the Silver Dollars and Conchos everywhere (the barbed wire imprinted...

When I put a Magnaflow on my 2012, I began noticing the 'whuff' transition between MDS and full ignition, and it kind of bugged me for a few weeks getting used to it. Then, it faded into the background as I learned to ignore it. The boominess never really got out of hand, since I had a...

Looks sweet, jayeduke! When I finally wear out these Goodyears, I'll be leveling and stuffing some 35s under mine as well.

As if the Longhorn wasn't "Yee-Ha" enough as it is, with fake saddle bags on the seat backs and all the cap gun etching everywhere. If I had it to do all over again, I would've gotten the same truck in Laramie Sport or Limited trim with the same options, but my gently/barely used Limited...

Unless it causes my truck to stop functioning altogether, there is absolutely zero chance I'll be having it restored back to factory. My point wasn't that the eTorque isn't functioning as intended, it's that it picked a cold weather day to function improperly according to the current state of...

I thought there was a way to disable it thru the instrument cluster menu... apparently not. So, I guess either the previous owner shut it off and kept his tuner when they traded it in, or it was turned off by a stealership, or whatever. Beats me. All I know is when I took delivery, it was off...

This morning I think I experienced pretty much the same thing. It was 49/50-ish this morning when I started up mine to head to work. It fired right up and ran fine until I came to the first red light. The engine shut off, and the Auto Stop/Start lamp was illuminated on the dash. A little...

This morning I experienced something similar, but not quite the same. I'm thinking it might be related, but don't know for sure. It was 49/50-ish this morning when I started up mine to head to work. It fired right up and ran fine until I came to the first red light. The engine shut off, and...

I was parked at a convenience store one night, started up the Ram and noticed in the reflection on the windows the projector headlights twerked back and forth, like they're 'calibrating' themselves. I remember the first car I saw doing that was a mid-2000s BMW, and the headlights would track...

My biggest concern is curbing the rims as well. I can't wait until the factory skins wear out so I can replace them with a leveling kit and some 35x12.50s.

Admired it sitting in the driveway. Oh, and redrew a new avatar since it's been raining all day.

I've never owned a truck with a lid (cap, topper, shell, canopy, et al), but I've owned a '78 K5 Blazer, and granted with the lid on, everything in the back was pretty much inaccessible unless you climbed in to get it. I've always had a tonneau cover of some fashion for my trucks (whether soft...

I've got a plain black one from the same company, but haven't installed it yet. I did pull the one from my 2012 and threw it on one day, which still fits just fine (no wrinkles or anything). The cover stuffs under the lid to the top compartment - granted, it covers the latch, but just squeeze...

Come back out to West Texas - I'll swap my Longhorn grille with ya. My complaint is that I just don't like the horizontal slats that don't 'match' the texture of the open slot in the bumper just below. I'm also liking the 'less chrome' look on the newer trucks (my 2012 Lone Star had some...

That's a very good point, and one that's lost on buyer more often than not - I'm sure when the stealership writes everything up, they fail to mention that the warranty period is to start from the current mileage, and not zero, intentionally. If people don't realize this little detail, then...

One of my BFF mechanic friends told me it's unusual to get more than 3 years out of an OEM battery, to which most of the folks I've known over the years have more or less confirmed that. But then again, it's Hot AF in West Texas for 8-9 months out of the year, which tends to kill all batteries...

I was actually saying that I'm glad he got it covered - I don't have any faith in stealerships to honor anything that's in the customer's favor. That's the hard way to do it, and the stealership sounds kind of sketchy (or at least jerks, all things considered), but Hey - it worked... and I'm of...

Sad thing is, the way things are going, by the time he needs a new battery, even they El Cheapo auto parts store house brand batteries will be pushing that $300 mark. I can certainly see the logic behind having it warrantied, if possible - ain't nothin' wrong with getting it for the best price...

Glad it eventually all worked out, Gerry. I have mixed feelings, though. I agree that the stealership initially was being a bit of a stickler by stating that you're over your coverage period - it failed prior to the odo reading they saw, after all. I also agree that having it towed could've...
