    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Depends on where he lives. If he lives in an area like I do, only need a visual inspection to pass. This would check that box, if he needed yearly inspections.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I have standard mirrors and I prefer them. The small blind spot mirrors in the corner, a camera on the back of my trailer, and a little common sense work just fine for me. I agree, if I had a 2500 or bigger I'd want them, but they just seem too much on a 1500.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That sucks. Man, when it rains it pours. I've heard (mostly on facebook) of guys having failures (most of whom have levels / lifts). That's why I'm gonna do mine preemptively now I think. I probably should have done it correctly when I first did it, but I was cheap and at the time, hadn't...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I can't remember exactly, but I figure I have about 20k miles on my level, so I'm figuring stuff is just wearing out. I'm gonna probably do aftermarket uppers and replace the lower joints. Especially if I can find something greaseable. The idea of having non greaseable suspension parts is...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I got a squeak developing somewhere in the front too. It's low speed turning, like in a parking lot. Can't tell if it's suspension or steering, I need to investigate. I'm assuming it's a ball joint / uca issue though since I did a level and never upgraded arms.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I had a mustang a couple years back that I tuned on e30. I only used our local station too, but we're rural and didn't have a lot of options anyway. My station never tested above 70%. Flexfuel apps were a life saver when calculating gallons to mix ha.

    couple 6 pack coolers in the rear floor too, if you're in a pinch (allegedly).

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Oh yeah the big stuff will go through the splitter. The smaller stuff I'm still stubborn enough to split by hand. At 35, and after years of playing hockey and baseball, my left shoulder needs done too. I've been putting it off, but it needs cleaned up. Took me a year after having my knee cut...

    Cheapest way to get wheels and tires?

    Discount Tire offers 0% financing and price matching. I've made several purchases through them with my Discount Tire credit card. And if you buy a wheel and tire package, they'll send them mounted and balanced. Just slap em on. I know some people look down on purchasing unnecessary stuff...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That does help, thank you. Honestly with used prices the way they are, I have been leaning towards a new, cheap, fuel efficient vehicle with a warranty. The days of reliable $1,000 beaters are gone ha. Me and my two kids all play hockey in the winter. And we travel 1.5 hours at least 5 days...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Oof I feel that. My beater car will no longer pass inspection and needs a pile of money to make legal. I think I'm just gonna cut my losses and let it go down the road. But now, do I just put the miles on my truck? Find another 5k beater and hope it's in decent shape? Buy/lease a new small...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Too busy hauling firewood. If you're bored and wanna come help split and stack, I've got a fridge full of cold ones :LOL:

    Auto rear braking and towing question

    I turned mine off the first time it tried to break my neck and haven't turned it on since. I do leave the front one on in case I have to nose up close to something though.

    And then you go on side by side forums with the European guys and they call them bikes, too. :LOL:

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yep! We took down the neighboring ash tree last year. It did very well in my garage last winter. I still have almost half of that left. Oddly enough, when I was a kid probably 20 years ago, this ash tree split half way down. My dad and I drilled it and used a rod anchor to draw it back...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Actually did some work with it ha. Took down an ash tree at my old man's house while he was out of town. He recently had back surgery, so I figured it would be best to do it alone while he was out of town and unable to help. Should heat my garage for at least a winter or winter and a half...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That "she wasn't able to contact him". He gave me her name before I said anything and that he had spoken with her on the phone, and that he emailed her. He forwarded me the email chain, also. Edit: she also told me I should just pay for it upfront, and then turn it in for reimbursement...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Might have to get in line ha. Finally heard back from a case manager today about my rear window, after leaving her a one star review from the email I got. She said she reached out to the dealer and hasn't gotten a response. I called the service department and he said that was a load of bull...
