    Let’s see your Dogs!

    They never ever live long enough do they. I've had to do this same thing, it never gets any easier no matter what. These humble creatures give us all they have for as long as they have. When we know they are suffering we owe them a humane end. I see it as the final act of respect and love...

    Let’s see your Dogs!

    I learned about Boxer's from my Grandparents as an infant. Grew up with their Boxer. 60 + years later an it's still Boxer's. I can't imagine not having a Boxer or two around. The story behind my avatar is this. One day last winter I was sort of rough housing around with them which...

    Let’s see your Dogs!

    I've always been a Boxer fan. The top photo is Emma, she was the grand lady of all we been blessed with. The middle one is Gracie, she is always near by and up for anything. The bottom is Sadie. Always watchful. Wants to be in the middle of whatever is going on. Never a dull moment with...

    Do I need a new tire or can repair

    As long as there isn't an obvious bulge then it is most likely just cosmetic. Keep an eye on it to make sure a bulge doesn't develop. Looks more like a bad boy scar.

    New...What do you think of my build?

    Looks like you are setting it up for some off road use. I would go with the 3.92. If you have any idea of going up in wheel and tire size you will be glad you did. I don't get off road, but I did go with the 3.92 for me. For me I wanted the grunt of the truck on the low end where I use the...

    Looking for guidance to put some new shoes on my lovely lady’s feet.

    In Florida I would give a serious look at Michelin's Defenders. Second choice would be Cooper's AT3. I replaced the Bridgestones with Cooper AT3 4S last fall. The 4S means it is a severe snow rated tire. I chose the Cooper's over the Michelin's because I'm taking a family member 90 miles out...

    Service 4wd when I use remote start

    My 2019 has always done the same thing. I don't know why, but does not bother anything near as I can tell.

    Fuel Gauge Question

    Mine is fairly accurate as far as I can tell. I very seldom run it lower than 1/4 tank. It keeps the fuel pump submersed and cooled so it doesn't ware out any faster than it has too. Now the gauge on the Harley, that is purely for entertainment purposes. I always, without fail reset the trip...

    Odd transmission shifting habits 5.7 E-torque

    Sounds like your shift map needs to be reprogrammed, or updated.

    Terrible MPG - 2022 RAM 1500 4WD Crew Cab Short Box 5.7

    You still have a new engine with not that many miles on it. My new gas mileage wasn't as severe as you are describing, but I'm set up differently. Mine finally got better after 7 or 8 thousand miles on the clock. I stayed with stock tire size when I changed last fall to Cooper's AT34S. The...

    Nitrous oxide discussion

    There's nothing wrong with a WOT once in awhile in the right places. It's kinda fun to light her up. Gives me an idea. The service writer at my dealership is a good guy, but wound up a bit too tight sometimes. Never occurred to me to put a nitrous button in the dash. :ROFLMAO:

    Stelantis pushback

    Lots to overcome to get this to mainstream use for the everyday Joe's like us. Where is all the raw material going to come from and at what cost to create all the batteries needed. We need an entirely new industry to collect, recycle and redistribute all the worn out power units. We aren't...

    4auto 'feeling in pedal'

    To the OP. I get the same sensation from the truck as you describe in the colder temps of winter. It is normal because as stated above the tcase clutches are partially engaged as they should be. Once it's warmed up to operating temps I don't notice it. I make a point of engaging the tcase...

    Charging meter movement

    I've notice mine will fluctuate a little bit like you describe. My last ruck had a variable rate alternator in it, just to save maybe a very small thimble of gas. They will vary a little depending on the over all charge and condition of the battery. Mine will sit for 3 or 4 days at a time...

    Surround View Camera system - worth getting ?

    Don't forget about dogs and cats. That will break your heart too. I thought back up camera's were mandatory after 2011 model years. First contact for us is the wife's 16 Maxima. Camera, adaptive cruise control and auto braking. It took me awhile to get comfortable with all of it. I knew...

    Surround View Camera system - worth getting ?

    Looks like you are planning on pulling a trailer from time to time from your description. You can hook up trailers by yourself, like I did for years. Back up, get out and look, back up a little more, get out and look, back up just a touch more and look. Have you ever picked up the tongue of...

    Rookie RAM owner Questions

    I've never noticed a reflection obstructing the side mirrors, but then I keep my dash lights really dimmed at night. eTorgue is designed to save a little gas by the stop and start. It also aids in getting the truck moving. I don't have it, didn't make sense for me and how I operate. The...

    metal shavings normal before first oil change?

    That isn't right. Time to get the dealership involved. Something is shredding itself.

    Truck not engaging proper gear?

    I've had that happen. I found I had hit the gear limiter in the steering wheel with hand. Duh.
