    NSFW Funny Pics and MEMES Thread - no nudity - PICS AND MEMES ONLY

    Funny, when I see a Harris supporter I see someone who supports the party making the selection for their candidate, "selected not elected". How far can the democrats get from "democracy"? I also see someone who is for abortion, does not understand why Roe vs Wade was over turned. See...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Wishing you well, Is it the dealership you purchased it at? Do you have a "relationship" with the dealership or service?

    I think it is about a 20 hour/3 day job but can be delays based on parts. I believe they started mine on the 3rd week of September and it was ready on the 26th. There was also 30 or so miles on the motor and my BMW mechanic buddy told me they have to put 50 miles on a beemer motor replacement...

    May 28th, 40,011 miles the Ram died. September 28th returned with new motor. I was a low priority at the dealership ( I did not purchase the vehicle there and it is warranty work - my opinion/words). It sat for 3 months. I was told by the service adviser when it was brought in it would be...

    Fixed Running Boards 2024 RAM Big Horn Crew Cab

    FYI Running board hardware help!! You can read through the posts. I found a small wire wheel on my drill worked best to take the paint off the studs.

    Had my engine replaced. In talking to the mechanic he believes it was the lifter that caused the valve to drop. This video explains MDS but at the beginning is a nice shot of the lifters, push rods and rocker to give an idea how they are interconnected to the valves.

    The dreaded Hemi Tick?!? 5.7 Ram 1500

    "For those that purchase (used) in excess of the factory drivetrain warranty it would have been a “bitter pill to swallow." YEAH - it sure makes me gun shy on buying used now.

    I just dumped a batch of $ into a 1990 Celica with 193K, stopped all the oil leaks. I don't drive it that much but does come in handy depending on circumstances, really nice on the highway, a little sluggish tranny till warmed up. I know what I have. Still get a thumbs up once in a while. I...

    The dreaded Hemi Tick?!? 5.7 Ram 1500

    I met the mechanic that did the job, seemed like a very capable and conscientious man who has been at it for years so that makes me feel good, but at the same time there is a lot of wrenching going on. Time will tell. I'm not going anywhere as I have the "lifetime warranty". I still have a...

    Camshaft replacement at the dealer

    Reviews are like listening to the news. You need to read through and decipher for yourself. I brought up the review to see if there is any correlation to your assessment and some others' perspectives. Which a 2.1 out 5 I think would verify your opinion. BUT I don't know how dealerships rate...

    The dreaded Hemi Tick?!? 5.7 Ram 1500

    You are not alone. 40011 miles, lifter went bad caused a dropped valve, engine replaced under lifetime warranty along with a new battery for the cost of $106 (my deductible+tax). Hang tight, wish you well and hopefully all will go well.

    2025 Rebel Oil life

    I have changed my oil at various per centages and calculate how many miles I could have driven at the current rate. 7073 10000 7142 7173 10060 10195 10193 The top of the list was when I was doing mixed driving. The bottom of the list is when I did primarily highway. The 7073 was on my 2nd oil...
