    Hypothetical scenarios. What would you do?

    just to be clear, my "scenerio 3" point was not that all of us should drive beaters...more that there is a lot of folks who really can't afford these new trucks, but sell their soul to borrow their way into one. And that they forget that there is a certsin amount of freedom that comes with...

    Did this site get hacked?

    Ok...my Mandarin is a little rusty, but from what I can translate it says... ....." It looks like your warranty is about to expire..we have been trying to reach you to discuss an exciting offer...just for YOU!".....

    Hypothetical scenarios. What would you do?

    Oh, I totally agree Jako, I always loved the "rough around the edges" trucks I had in the past...such freedom to just drive-park-not worry, and enjoy it for what it is. BUT, I do like having all the comforts now at 64 years old. "scenario 3" is where a lot of guys SHOULD be looking, it blows my...

    Hypothetical scenarios. What would you do?

    Scenerio 3: buy a used, high mileage, stripped down POS, and save another $20K......get the truck you want, life is short sir.

    Is this normal

    ZF8 might go down as one of the greatest 1500 transmissions....after 3 years, I still have a hard time feeling it shift.

    Jack Points When Using Jack Stand - Pics Inside (Tire Rotation)

    I forgot that those without air suspension have to jack up the truck for just an oil change! :p

    *sigh* just a vent, really

    I too have a 19 Limited. Best vehicle I've ever owned in 64 trips around the sun. Have there been any hiccups? yes, couple really small ones, service throttle body light with sudden loss of power in the middle of a cross country trip, pulling my belongings, with wife and mother in law! (figured...

    Pay RAM to get in line?

    well, after seeing what is actually coming...the decision has been made...I'm keeping my Limited a little longer.

    What happened to second row heated seats?

    Air conditioning performance

    save yourself the aggravation....just get the Harbor Freight hose clamp set, and clamp the ac line. You'll have to drive wearing a sweater after that! takes less than 5 minutes. Take clamp off in winter, on in summer.

    Body colored bumper paint difference

    super common for bumpers and trim pieces that are plastic, not to exactly match the rest of a vehicle. Especially common when you are talking 3 stage colors,(Pearl type). When I was an appraiser working in the field for the ins companies, we would automatically write a line in the appraisals...

    Is this rack and pinion issue worth fixing?

    don't mess around with a binding-rack...something could break off at some point inside it, and lock it up, in the middle of a turn!

    Not a fan of the Al rear doors...

    aluminum has some benefits...but body work isn't one of them. Don't let just any old shop do work on aluminum if you have some dents. Make sure they are certified by one of the major manufacturers, need SEPERATE tools, a seperate stall, with dust shields around it, and some pretty good knowledge...

    SMH.. Slow leak on rear tire

    yup, I was being sarcastic...I can't imagine a dealer NOT doing tires at LEAST occasionally...not having a valve stem on hand is ridiculous...

    My RAM 1500 Limited AM radio sucks!

    Some of you guys crack me up...."There are over 6,000 AM stations in the U.S. today. And they still have a huge audience of listeners, typically locals who seek out the latest weather, traffic, and news information. Most still listen in their cars or trucks. There’s a wide range of talk radio...

    My first big issue 2019 Laramie and its a whopper!

    on a side note...all these vehicles being manufactured these days, are OVER engineered. They are becoming MORE unreliable. Yes, the engines last a lot longer than when I was a teenager in the 70's, (when you threw a party if your car went over 100K), but the excessive electronics, monitors...
