I know this is off topic for the this thread, but is your loud clank at startup more of a "pop" sound similar to a backfire? Mine does something every now and again that sounds like the timing is off and it's getting early detonation, but it doesn't happen frequently enough for me to even...

Unless something new came out, the front squeal is not handled through a TSB but rather a Star Case record that many reference on this board. You can find it if you search other threads on the brake noise issues. The rear brakes are a different issue, and that issue is handled through a TSB...

While I understand your point, the Feds will most likely not agree with your assessment that adjusting your driving style is a safety concern for the masses. I found myself driving differently as well, but when I needed to stop it still stopped. My wife didn't appreciate the sudden stomping of...

It wouldn't be a "recall" since it's not a safety issue, just a nuisance. However, they could make it a "customer satisfaction campaign" and be a bit more proactive at addressing it. That would start with educating their dealer network about this issue so the next customer doesn't have to hear...

My truck has sounded like a school bus since the day I drove it off the lot when braking from 70-40. Today I took it to the dealership for the 5k oil change and a look at the brakes. The service record says they replaced both front rotors and pads with "AC" revision pad kit. No mention of...

I've been discussing this same thing on a different thread. The other day when the truck was in direct sun for an extended period, it read some 12-14 degrees warmer than ambient even after a 45-minute drive home. Yesterday with variable clouds it read about 10F off when I first stepped in, but...

Well today was a moderately sunny day with variable clouds, and the results were quite different. Within 5 minutes of driving the outside measured temperature was within 1 degree of the reported temperature. I'll keep watching it as the weather changes these next few weeks to see if it is...

It's possible. That side was facing the west and was getting the afternoon sun. However, I would have anticipated that it would have regulated in the 45 minutes it took for me to get home. This morning I was questioning whether it was still reading high when it read 66F, but a quick look at...

I wonder if the exterior color makes a difference? Are dark colors more likely to read high?

Chalk up another bogus outside temperature sensor. Today it was low 80's outside, but my truck never read lower than 91F. This is the first vehicle I've owned that couldn't read the outside temperature within a few degrees. I know when the sensor got wet it would read low, but I've never seen...

Good to hear. I have a set of KO2s on my '95 Wrangler that I really like but after running Mud Terrains for the past 10+ years anything would offer a smoother/quieter ride.

How would you compare ride quality, noise level, wet weather traction, etc against the stock Bridgestone tires?

My wife just picked up a new phone with a USB-C plug, and everything appears to be charging fine now. It may have been her old phone, or a couple of old cables. Rather than spend time diagnosing it, we just upgraded her phone. I think it was the wise choice. ;-)

I just turned over 3k on my Laramie 5.7 4x4, and am hitting pretty much the sticker MPG numbers now. I took a trip to Atlanta over last weekend going "over the mountains and through the woods" and averaged 20.1 MPG round trip. On the short stretches of the interstate I'd often see 22-23 MPG on...

It's finally warm enough to start using my HeatShield. The gold color really makes the pearl in the Rugged Brown pop! Oh, and it almost matches the pollen which we're dealing with here in the south!

I have an iPhone XR and Apple CarPlay has worked fine on my 12" screen all but a couple of times. I traced the issue to when I plug my phone in, and believe the problem is that my phone was in driving lock-out mode. As long as I plug everything up prior to moving, it has worked flawlessly. My...

That's definitely not the Active Safety group console, so I'd go with the 5" option unless they have a third option listed. I just ordered the roll-up Heatshield brand, and the only options listed on their site was "with Advanced Safety Group Package" or "without Advanced Safety Group Package"...

I had a Bedrug in my last Ram under an Undercover one-piece cover and it looked great after 9 years, but I cannot say how the bed looked under it since I traded that truck in with the Bedrug still installed. I don't typically use my truck like a "truck", but I had hauled a lot of bagged mulch...

I installed a Bedrug that covers the floor and sides, but they called it the Bedrug Classic. It turned my bed into a giant trunk with my Undercover UltraFlex tri-fold on top.

I absolutely love the 360 view feature on this truck. I had no idea that it was removed with the tow package, so had I ordered a truck I would have screwed up and picked the tow mirrors over the 360 and been kicking myself for the oversight. But in my case the planets aligned and my rush...
