    Is the "hemi tick" still a thing in the latest models?

    I never had "hysteria" over it, as I had the 110K power train warranty on my 2015. It's my understanding that FCA went to the 60K warranty specifically because they were tired of paying to fix the tick. My dealership has a guy mostly "dedicated" to fixing the most common cause and replacing the...

    TPMS module location?

    Don't know if anyone noticed, but you can't get the TPMS anymore as part of an order and it is not a part of the new tow package. It's got to be chip related, don't know about after market.

    Best Tires and Suspension For Travel Trailering

    I had 17 inch Goodrich KO2's on my 2015 Outdoorsman. I loved them because they were so stiff and heavy duty and very decent for highway driving even if I only got around 40K out of them. There was no wallow at all so, turning the wheel, it was Wysiwyg. On the new one, I got the 20 inch Falken...

    Hmmm, that's a thought... get a job as a salesman, get a really good deal...move on to the next job... AND, now YOU KNOW how the system works and will get questions on just exactly is about the least expensive someone can get one if the dealer is on board. THEN if you tell anyone they are going...

    How do you like the Bed Step?

    I have the multi-function tailgate with the 5'7" bed and although I have used it a few times, I don't need to as with the "barn doors" I can almost reach all the way in to get most things..(My dealer unit forced me to get the multi-function tailgate and I have found I love it. And if I need to...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I know because when you do like a Cargurus search, their search and filter engines do not distinguish between a quad and crew cab so when they come up, you get em both and trying to filter down to crew cabs illustrates the plethora of Quad cabs. It's like, perfect vehicle, oh wait, quad...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Looking at various sites with dealer on the lot vehicles, there are a lot more Quad Cabs vs crew cabs.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Ahhh, the days of 20% to 30% under MSRP in like May of the year following the model year...like my 2015. I got a call on that one the day before they needed to sell two trucks to meet a monthly volume number that kicked back like another percentage point on all sales for that month. I did kill...

    About to pull the trigger on a Travel Trailer - need some of your inputs to confirm my understanding....

    That's why I am generalizing and ball parking... It is a dynamic. I've done all the specific measurements and it and in the end it just becomes an excercise in OCD... The truck emply (with a full tank of gas) is 45 lbs less than the sticker on the scales. Do I count the ice in the cooler? Honey...

    About to pull the trigger on a Travel Trailer - need some of your inputs to confirm my understanding....

    I'm in the same boat you all are with right at 1300 payload and 8,000 lbs total due to things like the Ramboxes, barn door tailgate. I've found to maintain about a thousand total weigh cushion, with trucks in this range, is that around 5500 dry weight and 600 dry hitch weight is your limit also...

    Chevy Guy Goes Ram

    Ahhh, Billet Silver...the color I never wanted until I got one and have fallen in love with. The wife has the Granite Crystal on her Jeep Cherokee with their blackout package. The jeep is the most beautiful I've ever seen...for the first 15 minutes after you wash and wax it, after that, even a...

    Tonneau Cover Questions

    I went with the Truxedo Truxsport for 299 bucks with the barn doors and Rambox. I am perfectly happy and you got to get right up on it to tell the difference between it and the four figure ones. And you get 100% of the box access easy. It takes a second person for roughly 30 seconds to install...

    Why is the crew cab with the 6.4 bed not a popular option?

    One of the first things I did was buy the hardware and make my bed extender work... Nice.

    Why is the crew cab with the 6.4 bed not a popular option?

    IF...I didn't have big dogs, I'd have a quad cab (still not bad in back) and a 6'4" bed, imho the perfect combo for looks and practicality. Heck, if I didn't have a wife, I'd likely have a single cab...
