    Drive Through Wash

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I have a monthly plan with a soft-touch carwash. While I'd prefer touchless or just to do it myself, I honestly just no longer have the interest in messing with it. I had a very good ceramic protectant put on it when I bought it, and now I just let it...

    Who Switched?

    Had new: 2009 F150 XLT 2013 F150 XLT 2015 F150 Lariat 2016 Ram 1500 Laramie 2017 F150 Lariat Now my 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie This truck is easily my favorite of the bunch. It is the only one I can honestly say I've gone out of my way to "take the long way home" and just go on drives to spend...

    Best cleaner & conditioner for WeatherTech floormats?

    Not so much a conditioner...more like a protectant, like this. Wondering if anyone has tried this or something similar. (Of course this one is the cleaner AND protector in a kit.) WeatherTech TechCre FloorLinner and Floor Mat Cleaner/Protector Kit

    Best cleaner & conditioner for WeatherTech floormats?

    I've had several sets of these in past trucks, but I've not yet found the "perfect" cleaner and conditioner for them. As you know, they tend to be a bit slicker than OEM and some other brands. They're very durable and look great when they're clean, but I'd like to find a cleaner that doesn't...

    Is there any evidence that later build dates are more problem-free than earlier build dates?

    Other then anecdotal stories from this and other forums? I mean, statistically you would think the earlier builds on a new generation would have more issues...that's usually been the prevailing thinking. But I'm curious whether or not there is any empirical evidence to support that. Or do we...

    Uneven tailgate cables?

    I think that's part of his schtick. That's a very funny video. Love the part about how people who have blacked out Dodge Rams must be rich because you always see them in Longhorn and Target parking lots. :ROFLMAO:

    Check in if you just don't care about modding anymore

    You'll have to tell us even if you can't share pics. And you're right, these are more additions (right up my alley) rather than mods. The only other additions I've made that I haven't already mentioned are my University of Kentucky (UK) front license plate and hitch cover. Go Cats! :)

    Homelink Horrible Range?

    Interesting. I have 100w equivalent LED bulbs in both openers and there doesn't seem to be any interference. Of course different brands, models, age, etc. My range seems to be just fine, too...about the same as all my F150s were anyway. probably 150 feet or so.

    Once&For all - Tonneau - Best 1?

    Bakflip G2 can support 300 lbs evenly distributed, so 25% less. I paid $850 for mine, plus tax, installed it myself.

    So long Chrysler

    All kidding aside, good luck. I would be as frustrated as you are if it happened to me. Hope you find a good one.

    POLL: Rate your RAM dealer

    Haha, a little bored, things are kinda slow at work right now. Then I get these random thoughts and the next thing you know, bam...there's a new thread. I normally am not this active but I'm sure things will pick up at work and I'll be quieter, lol. :)

    Wattage for USBC?

    Perfect...thank you! It's odd that they don't provide this information elsewhere in any of the vehicle documentation. Regardless, I really appreciate your finding this out...kudos! (y)

    POLL: Rate your RAM dealer

    Wanted to specify "RAM" as some of you might be thinking of a different dealer. ;) Consider: Purchase value Trade-in value (if any) Financing process (if any) Efficiency of the overall transaction Customer service and support after the sale Service department (I know this will be a HUGE...

    Uneven tailgate cables?

    Update: they called me at 7:30 this morning to tell me the cable (strap) was in and I could bring it in today for installation. In and out in 30 minutes from arrival to departure. All is good, cables appear to be very even in length and tension. Very pleased with the responsiveness and...

    Cleaning to ***disinfect***the inside of your car

    Saw this article on cnet today and thought I'd share, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Not advocating any or all of it, but thought it was interesting.

    Finish this sentence: "If I had it all to do over again with my Ram 1500, I would _______________."

    ...have gotten one with the 12" Uconnect screen, sunroof, spray-in bedliner, bed lighting group, and the multi-function tailgate. I think.

    Finish this sentence: "If I had it all to do over again with my Ram 1500, I would _______________."

    I've seen your pics before and am continually amazed at how sharp it looks. What do you do (or have you done) to the paint/finish to make it look so good?

    If you're having USB issues...

    Have you been using the same cable all along, or did you try different cables?

    Poor gas mileage

    So I've read a lot about winter fuel mixes. Is there any way to know for sure whether or not a station is using this, what it's true effects are, and when it will change to summer mixes?
