Wrong. The MM act protects you if you install replacement equipment not branded by the OEM (think air filters, oil filters, replacement parts, etc), or get it serviced/repaired at a third party shop. You, on the other hand, installed equipment that is not found on any RAM 1500 from the...

Using higher viscosity oils make them feel more manly.

In this market that's a pretty good deal imo.

There is a huge difference between an aftermarket body panel and an aftermarket catalytic converter. Progressive is obligated to make you whole, using an aftermarket emissions system component is not making you whole.

You have to right to choose your own repair facility. I'd bring the truck to a RAM dealer and have them do it, tell progressive good luck with making them use an aftermarket part.

You sure it isn't the shop isn't pushing the aftermarket part? The only way they are going to make money AND cover that $1k is if they get paid for an OEM but use a cheaper aftermarket part.

Other issue is that the Catalytic converter is covered under the 8 year / 80k emissions warranty. An aftermarket part is gonna lose that coverage, obviously. The insurance company going to warranty the new part for that long?

I have never seen an aftermarket catalytic converter not cause issues on any car made after 2000 or so.

I do believe the rear wheel well liners prevent water/mud from flinging in there. You can find them for fairly cheap.

It does, not sure where that suggestion is coming from.

Not surprising. These things are little more than poorly assembled wood boxes, I guarantee there's much MUCH more structural damage than can be seen here.

This is why you don't trust oil pressure warnings. Too many folks just assume they are going to save your ***, when in fact it's already too late if they come on. My brother-in-law's mother just learned this the hard way.

It may be wasteful but I'd just drain and refill with new oil to be sure.

As long as it's in range of nearly any apple device, it can be tracked.

It's an app, fairly cheap (especially compared to a dealer flash). I will say the actual OEM light install is a huge pain in the *** (routing wires all the way from the rear of the truck to the driver footwell...and then wiring into the proper connectors in the footwell), but the end product...

Even the custom ordered trucks are getting massive markups.

I activated them with alfaOBD.

To get around this I simply just installed the OEM bed lights.

I use Cooper Tires on all my vehicles, I'm just waiting for these Wildpeaks to wear out first before I change the RAM over. No reason to spend the $$$ early so long as they don't drive me insane.

I mean, it could be. One of my factory tires (Falken Wildpeaks) had insane lateral runout. Dealer replaced immediately.
