    Fuel Filler Neck

    For gas. Without it, you'll never be able to add gas from a gas can.

    Yep. This is what I was going to write.

    Fender supports? WTF is this dumb *** thing?

    I think it's just to keep the fender from flapping at speed. It wasn't designed to be a support.

    Is my shock damaged?

    Unless the shocks are somehow adjustable, it's fine. I have some Snap-on sockets that fit on the top of shocks and I don't know how many I've installed by holding the wrench while spinning the shaft with an air ratchet.

    2025 Ram 1500 power tailgate wont open - need help please

    Mine isn't power, but sometimes it sticks. And I also have a bed cover. Try locking it, pushing in hard, then unlocking and opening. Sometimes it takes more than one try. It happens about once a month, then behaves a while. So far I haven't had to take a pry bar to the cover.

    Wind turbine system?

    This makes no sense. The turbine will only turn if the truck is moving. The truck moves when it uses fuel. Trying to generate while cruising on flats will increase the load on the engine and use more fuel. Where's the gain? It might function as regenerative braking when decelerating or coasting...

    Newbe Here

    I wouldn't stress over that. If it was running full synthetic oil, 10000 is not really overdoing it. And sometimes data entry people miss stuff and it doesn't find its way to carfax. It happened to me with my wife's car.

    So how does it ride compared to the 1500? In grocery getter mode.

    Final Drive Ratio

    I kinda doubt you'll be in 8th gear very much when pulling a trailer. I know with my 3.21 gears and an empty truck, it will still downshift to 7th on the freeway on a 4% grade. And then usually it will upshift again. Then downshift. Until I hit tow/haul and it stops hunting.

    Removing Wiper Arms, not Blades

    Yes. And it will be easier to wiggle them up and off if the arm is up. Word to the wise: wrap an old towel or something around the blade, in case you bump it and it decides to slam against the glass. When you to reinstall them, turn wipers on then off so you are absolutely certain things are...

    2025 trailer lights

    You asked for thoughts, so here goes. 1) Check the connection on the backside of the 7 pin recepticle. I recall reading about problems getting it to seat properly. 2) I think the charging line fuse is F01 on the interior fuse box, according to this video. There are also two fuses in the...

    PO456 code 2019 5.7 Ram Rebel

    Try putting one of these on the filler neck and see if the light stays off. If it does, it means a bad seal inside the filler neck. You shouldn't need the clamp

    Gas tank hissing when fueling up

    Probably normal. It's the fumes in the tank escaping. Warmer weather means more fumes. In the olden days, you might have heard a hiss when you unscrewed the gas cap.

    Memorial Day DUI Checkpoints

    About fifteen years, but they are still popular with a certain demográfico where I live.

    Memorial Day DUI Checkpoints

    That's from 2020. I followed the link within the ad to the actual article, and it took me to the 2024 results.

    Anyone removed this screen/filter??

    That's part of your evaporative emissions system. Fuel vapors in your intake are supposed to fnd their way out and stick there. The next time your truck starts, fresh air carries the fumes in to burn away. Removing it won't affect the way the truck runs at all, but if you have a nitpicky smog...
