    Weight needed to balance new tires

    Those big wheels 20+ its not suprising they need more weight. That weight on there is not bad at all for a 22". When I was in the field I hated balancing 22+ wheels. They usually took quite a bit of weight no matter what you would do. If they had bigger tires as well that made it even worse. I...

    LED Bulbs

    I agree it wouldn't be worth the time to prove. Blueish white or white is good but like you said, green or purple or red yes. Like the Ford super dutys for example they have LED's and the housings for them, are they still bright? Absolutley lol

    LED Bulbs

    Misaligned halogens are as bad as mis aligned LED's but technically on an LED bulb depending on where the chips are it can change the beam pattern in a reflector housing. LED's seem worse because we are more sensitive to blueish light than soft yellow light. Regardless I say run what you want no...

    LED Bulbs

    I wouldn't worry about running LEDs in halogen housings. I have done it with other trucks as well. You can see so much more and I know some say they are illegal but so many people have them cops hardly pull you over for it. I have always had HIDs or leds in halogen housings, does it make some...

    Constitutional carry

    I think its a good thing as well, There are many people who carry a firearm anyway without a permit. Most people will think twice before trying something stupid if no one knows who is armed or not. I don't think shootings will go up either. If someone wants to get firearms illegally they will...

    Offroad Group

    A shock will never increase ride height. Although the shocks may be different as in different dampening, rebound and travle. The coils themselfs give the lift. Its like the old 2001 ram 1500 offroad package back in the day everyone argued how it got a 1" factory lift. If I remember right The...

    Question About Tire Rotation

    RWD/4WD rears tires go straight up fronts tires criss cross to back. I have always rotated 5-6,000 miles and have had very great wear. I had ridge grapplers at one time and they are very forgiving on rotates. I rotated them 5-6,000 miles I got about 60,000 miles out of them, I shouod have gotten...

    Front License Plate relocated

    No offense but is this serious? I personally don't see how thats better than using the front bracket and plate? I mean its your truck but on a $50,000+ truck it dosen't look right..

    Warranty work

    I worked in the dealership not ram but GM and warranty work sucked. Some labor times for repairs on warranty work seemed outrageous. I agree with Richard320 you can get very fast at recalls, thats where you can make your money. I dont know a lot of techs who liked warranty work ever. Sure you...

    low fuel cancels out remote start solutions?

    Perfect thank you. That's what I was looking for. I didn't mean to get a little defensive. When someone says I am wrong and won't say why I am wrong I get a little irritated. Again though thank you for explaining that's exactly what I was looking for. Learn somehing new everyday.

    low fuel cancels out remote start solutions?

    I'm looking as to why my thinking/explanation is wrong. I was hoping you would explain. I get why you are quizzing me, I don't know it all nor did I ever admit that. I was just wanting some insight. Obviously I must wrong so please explain

    low fuel cancels out remote start solutions?

    The fuel gets low enough there isn't enough gas to cool the pump, than it will run hotter than it would if it were partially or mostly submerged. When pumps run hot they don't last as long

    low fuel cancels out remote start solutions?

    How so? Unless something has changed in the past 10 years since I got my automotive degree? It wont destroy them right away but over time it will matter. I don't mean to come off as mean but I fail to see how that would be false. Even when I was in the trade it was a well known thing. My old...

    low fuel cancels out remote start solutions?

    I agree it's to idiot proof it. I would never let my tank get below a 1/4, so I have never had a problem. It strains the fuel pump under a 1/4 tank pump runs hotter. Otherwise if they didn't have it people would be complaining way more about it. Just keep your tank above 1/4 and you will be fine.
