    Ambient temp inaccuracy

    Maybe the rest of the world's temperature readings are too low and the Ram's are just right. o_O

    Did you like the look of the 2019 rams at first?

    Reviving an older thread, but yes. I liked them immediately...so much so that I traded my 2017 F150 for one. To my eyes, it's the best looking truck on the road, maybe ever. Of course, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so if someone else likes another brand better, no sweat.

    What can I expect for durability of paint on the front end/hood/grill?

    Thanks...not close to Cincinnati but will check locally to see who and what I can find. (Evansville, IN area)

    What can I expect for durability of paint on the front end/hood/grill?

    Hmmm...okay will look into that. Anyone have strong preferences on brand, and if so, why? Is it pretty invisible, easy to apply, replace, etc?

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is "PPF"? Polypropylene film?

    What type of hard folding bed covers are you using?

    You know, I thought the *exact* same thing and almost moved it back a smidgen. But after a couple of light to moderate rainfalls and a couple of carwashes, I'm actually very pleased with how dry it's stayed. Like, almost bone dry. It didn't put much pressure on that last rubber seal, like you...

    What can I expect for durability of paint on the front end/hood/grill?

    Also mirrors (body colored). I have the Diamond Black Crystal Pearl with the Sport package. Does it hold up pretty well to chips and scratches? Should I just expect to do a lot of touching up? Or should I put some sort of protection up there?

    TPMS ACCURACY

    Yep, the rubber replacement blades that just slid into the frame sections. Easy to replace, cheap, etc. Now a good blade, like Bosch Icons can run $25-30. As for the digital gauges, are they any more or less accurate than the analog or stick gauges?

    What type of hard folding bed covers are you using?

    Not sure if these help, but this is what I took just now. Mine's a G2 but I think very similar to the MX in design and function.

    TPMS ACCURACY

    So I got bored last night and went out to the garage too play with tire pressures. Turns out, my Slime gauges aren't really that close to each other. Here's how they all compared on cold tires in the garage. (The inflator gauge is a basic Campbell Hausfeld I got at Walmart a few years ago...

    TPMS ACCURACY

    Reopening an older thread. My TPMS is almost exactly 3 lbs *less* than my analog tire gauges. I have two (both Slime brand...one is brand new, liquid filled, and the other older but very accurate.) Today, I very carefully filled each tire to 42 psi, and the TPMS measured exactly 39 psi for...

    What type of hard folding bed covers are you using?

    Ughhh...I've had four Bakflips and never had this happen. I've heard their customer service is decent enough to work with if you have a legitimate problem, which it seems you have; however, I have never had to contact them for anything so YMMV.

    Rearrange Apple CarPlay home screen layout?

    Yeah, that's what I found out. You can reorder them in the iPhone app, and if you swipe to the 2nd and 3rd screens on Uconnect, they will be in the same order. But that first screen, the one with the three sections mentioned in my OP, just doesn't look like it can be changed. I know this is a...

    Haha, I saw that over on the other forum, which is what prompted me to post it here. No harm, no foul I say. :)

    Rearrange Apple CarPlay home screen layout?

    On Apple CarPlay's Uconnect home screen, the left half is Apple Maps and the right half is split between I think "Phone" (top right) and "Now Playing" (bottom right). I've rearranged the order of apps in my iPhone's CarPlay settings, but there is nothing there that I can find that lets you...

    Doing my own test of Jay Leno's Tire and Trim Care vs. Surf City Garage Beyond Black

    Yes, and it's nice to know you could go either way. What I'm most interested in now is how they hold up over time, with and without rain, snow, etc. Stay tuned!
