    Powder Coating Running Boards

    I am thinking of having my non-OEM running boards cleaned of the surface rust from being banged by car doors, etc. and then powder coated. Has anyone had this done? Thanks, Jim

    SiriusXM Briefly Cutting Out

    I have noticed more drops of a second or so of late with all three of our vehicles. Made me wonder if their service is having issues. Jim

    Coolant Leak

    Taking the advice above, I messaged RAMcares with the issue of no replacement cylinders for my truck, including my contact information, dealer name, VIN, etc. The message was unanswered since Friday and since was deleted by them (I assume). I guess earlier comments about them being just...

    Coolant Leak

    Noticed reddish fluid on the garage floor that leaked from my 2019. So, thought it was a simple fix. Nope, dealer found a cracked cylinder that caused the leak. Of course the parts are backordered and they will update me tomorrow on when they expect the parts. 200 Miles under the 36,000 new...

    Correct tire pressure please?

    WIth motorcycle tires, we always looked for no more than a 10% increase from cold to warm tires as a judge for the base air pressure. Does the level of increase matter in LT tires?

    Giraffe Power Washer

    Getting tired of using the normal gas powered power washer for the vehicles. I wondered if anyone have used one of these: https://giraffetools.com/products/giraffe-pressure-washer-hose-reel?customer_posted=true#feedback-bar--newsletter The ad showed up in my FB feed, which makes me suspicious...

    So how many of you have renewed Uconnect?

    I bought my 2019 used from the dealer, finally called uConnect from the truck yesterday about turning on the app. They said I would need to fax them proof of ownership as they still show the original owner on the account. I was amazed that buying the truck from a dealer did not update their...

    Suggestions for a tailgate mat?

    A good stall mat from the local farm and fleet supply is a nice truck mat. Used one for years to keep stuff from sliding around.

    Steering Concern

    They said mine was one of several they had seen with the same issue, not sure how they decided on which part to replace.

    Steering Concern

    Update: After having the dealer look at the problem, they ordered a replacement steering rack for the truck. Of course this was backordered for nearly a month. The replacement seems to have solved the problem and the dealer said was not first time they have dealt with the the same issue...

    Tailgate step install

    Sunny day = quick 20 minutes install = saved $130 the dealer wanted. Thanks for the comments on this. I understand the book flat rate concept for shops, however I think they lost me as a loyal customer as this was the first time I have the vehicle in the shop. Some good doing this simple...

    Tailgate step install

    Just needed to vent a little. I bought the OEM Mopar tailgate/bumper step for my 2019 Ram and haven’t installed it due to Michigan‘s cold weather. So, the truck was at the dealer for warranty service (replacing both mirrors and a new steering rack) at 30,000 miles. I thought perfect since...

    Buying used vs new

    My 2019 truck was a two-year lease that ended and the lessee turned the truck in. Decent deal on a truck with the options I was after. Seems there was a lot of the trucks on short-term leases. The deal worked for me since they offered more for the truck I had than I was going to privately...

    4x4 Auto

    I wondered if anyone has noticed any MPG difference between having the truck in 4x4 auto vs. 4x2? My GMC was a couple of MPG lower in auto and I wondered about the RAM. Thanks, Jim
