    Tonneau Covers VS MPG Performance

    Now I remember more: I couldn't understand then (and I'm still baffled by it now) why a mesh tailgate would be better than tailgate removed or down. Laminar flow? Inadvertent vortex generator?

    Tonneau Covers VS MPG Performance

    That jives with my recollection. The second episode they mention having to revisit it, but my senile brain can't remember the specifics. I'd really be interested to see if anyone's done a wind tunnel test on the three configurations. I'll have to webcrawl for that one; if I find anything I'll...

    What was your interest rate when you financed your new ram?

    I told the dealer I wanted the 0% APR as part of the deal once we had settled on price. I put half down, so that may have sweetened the pot a bit.

    Tonneau Covers VS MPG Performance

    There are actually two Mythbusters tests for this one. The first (which I remember better than the second) seemed to point out no tonneau cover is better than the other options, but they revisited the testing (second episode) which (if I remember the episode correctly) pointed to tonneau covers...

    Uconnect 12 problems

    +1. The only time my climate control isn't on auto is when I turn the fan off when I have the windows down and sunroof open.

    Dog ramp for rear floor?

    Following. I looked at the WeatherTech ramp and thought about getting it; saw your comment and now I'm glad I haven't (Procrastination for the win!).

    Display mount for camper cameras

    We use them in the trucks at the company I work for (though we put them in the armrest of our Gen4 Rams); we use them to hold iPad Minis. They're great.

    Anyone else happy with MPG?

    To answer the title of the thread, yes. Yes, I am happy with the gas mileage. I get nearly what I got with my previous truck ('14 Ridgeline, don't @ me), but 1/3 more cylinders, more power, and more capability. When I'm tooling around town I get high 20s/low 30s which is pretty fantastic.

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    Installed my APS 5" iBoard running boards this past weekend. Bought them from CarID, and was a bit concerned when the description said "drilling required." To my relief, there is zero drilling required; the only tool required is a socket wrench with a 10mm socket and a deep socket 13mm (or 1/2...

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    I got my 5" iBoards yesterday and will install them this weekend. Any gotchas (like drilling required) for installing on a DT 1500?

    Dog hauler and dog pics

    Maiden voyage for the Duluth "Scout's Mobile Mudroom"--and it was an upholstery saver! (Sorry abut the blurry photo; of course I wasn't taking the picture while driving! Why do you ask? 😏 ) Definitely must build a flat platform to bridge the space between the back seat and the back of the front...

    Need advice on more professional garage wall guard

    I have your same issue and I use these two products from Griot's Garage (no this isn't sponsored by them, but I'm open to offers, Mr. Griot :LOL:): Parking Mat (requires no drilling into the floor and doesn't move as my previous blocks did) Wall-mounted Door Guards

    New Software Update Wireless CarPlay?

    Exactly my issue. I'd love to see what was included in the update, but can't find out how to access the information. Anyone know how to access it?

    New Software Update Wireless CarPlay?

    Seems like there's a lot of not knowing what the update included (mine installed yesterday afternoon). This thread on the Wrangler forum implies it's mainly performance improvements and minor camera bug fixes. Anyone else find any other nuggets of info?

    How often have you used your extended (or standard ) warranty?

    I haven't used my warranty yet, but when I have about 2 months or 500 miles left on the original, I will take it in and complain about hearing knocking. I will have them take a look at the manifold bolts we're all familiar with. :cool:
