    New to Paint Correction - Questions

    Ok, I'll bite. This is your first time so you probably don't realize you are asking what brand of oil is best for my truck. At the risk of being flamed, I will throw some out. 3D One I have no personal experience with but some quick YouTube videos look good. Mequires Ultimate Compound tried...

    The struggle is real. I thought I was pretty patient until I ordered my truck. Now that you are getting notices from this thread it's going to be even worse. When I see someone get their truck I know what the runner-up beauty contestants must feel like, applause, congratulations, smiley faces...

    With light, swirl marks 1 pad should do your truck. I am not familiar with the ones you chose, I use hex pads. They last a really long time. I always end up dropping one or getting contamination on it before it's used up. If you even think you have gotten any contaminants on it throw it...

    Keep one pad for each type of swirl remover. Do not mix and match. It will take a bit of product at first to fill the pad then just a couple of dots to keep going. If you are in dry climate a spay bottle with water and a light mist every now and then will help. Let the polisher do the work, do...

    What are your top five upgrades?

    I'm a big fan of Ceramic Coatings and have used them for years, however, I have never found a windshield one that would hold up to the hype. I settled on Griots Garage Glass Sealant. It's less than $10 and basically Rain-x on steroids. Just my $.02. Great list, I am going to check out your...

    What are your top five upgrades?

    Well at least one of us does :cool:. It's will be my work truck, and spend 30% of its time offroad. I went from a Ram to a Raptor and am going back to the Ram. Raptor rocked offroad, but need the storage.

    What are your top five upgrades?

    Getting lift, tires, wheels done at the dealer before I pick it up. BTW that counts as 1 since it all goes together.

    I need some serious help?

    I ordered silver for that very reason. White is bla, black is gorgeous for 15 minutes. Hoping Silver splits the difference.

    What is wrong with these dealers these days?

    I had the engine half out of my Camaro the first 5 months I had it, back then it was all Edlebrock and Holly. Did such a good job on the engine blew the tranny out 3 months later. That's when dad set me down and explained you work from the brakes back to an engine when building a hot rod if...

    YouTuber Faces 18 Criminal Charges Over Ram 1500 TRX Antics:

    I saw that video, he will pay some minimal fines, and that's it. Anyone with the dough to thrash a TRX just to cool can afford a few Fish and Game fines. The worst thing I can think he might get hit with is polluting a waterway, and I saw no fuel or oil so probably not gonna be a bid deal for him.

    What is wrong with these dealers these days?

    Not sure if that's in defense of kids or making our point. I have had my 15-year-old under both trucks in the last month doing his first oil changes. The first one looked like the Exon Valdese beached in our driveway but he got the second one with only the loss of his shirt. The truth is we...

    You need a white 2500 to be safe.

    Ram Could Build An Electrified Ram, If Customers Request It:

    I know the new inverter-style generators can produce a lot of power in a small form factor. Like small carry-on luggage size power 20 amp AC on a travel trailer. But how will that convert to fuel economy? If you have it and fill it on the off chance you need it someday, what will the...

    What is wrong with these dealers these days?

    What Hal said. I too learned the hard way. I thought hey new shiny truck the dealer has to know what's going on, pay extra let them service it right....wrong. I did not put 2 and 2 together and realize it's the lowest common denominator doing my oil change. I took my 14 limited eco diesel in...

    Ram Could Build An Electrified Ram, If Customers Request It:

    This is one reference on Ford Authority. https://fordauthority.com/2020/10/ford-files-patent-for-electric-f-150-range-extending-generator/ I like the idea. I am sure there will be lots of EV industry growing pains, I will be in when they get the range out to 400 miles.

    Ram Could Build An Electrified Ram, If Customers Request It:

    I have an Ecodiesel on order, I am hoping it will last me long enough to get into an electric truck after it used up. Ford has applied for a patent for what looks like a generator that would take the place of a toolbox in a truck bed. Rumors have it, it will be for charging the E-trucks when...

    I have had retractables for years. It's so a 50/50 call. I finally got tired of losing the bed space to where the retractables roll-up. My diamondback just got here. If only I had a truck to put it on. I am sure with the diamondback there are going to be times I miss just throwing the...
