Anybody ever see a black plastic cover to go over that chrome Ram head on the Airbag? Or, can you pop it off (without deploying the air bag) and replace it with something else?
I have a 2023 Ram 1500, Night Edition. I am pretty happy with the trim with one exception. I hate that Rams Head on the tailgate. Is it possible to remove the Rams Head, and add the large "RAM" letters on the tailgate? Which I believe are used on the Rebels.
I'd also like to remove that...
I will say that ceramic coatings DO NOT last a lifetime... unless you are expecting not to live much longer. ;) Even the "professional" CarPro ceramic coating that is only sold to Professional Installers is only rated for 24 month. In spite of this, I am still a fan of ceramic coatings. They...
The compressor needs to be wired so that there are two (2) things that must be active to run the compressor.
The first is a 12V feed that is only active when the vehicle is on/running. This would typically be the "trigger" for the 12V relay you will need to power the compressor. You...
I prefer to use the built-in Tom Tom navigation rather than using Google Maps via Android Auto. But I would also like to have real-time traffic updates. With Google Maps, the routes are always updated with current traffic. How is Tom Tom as far as providing traffic updates and suggesting...
I went through the same dance with Sirius on my last vehicle. Got them down to $5.00 per month for each of 3 vehicles, and then forgot about it. A year later, I see a bill on my credit card for over $500!! The year had gone by and Sirius billed me the full rate (that nobody pays) for a year...
I took a vehicle to Valvoline Quick Oil Change, recently, and rather than drain the oil via the drain plug in the pan, they sucked the oil out through the dip stick tube. I was appealed and vowed never to go back there.
The other thing about new EV's is that they are relatively new technologies and use entirely new chassis and power train. I don't trust any manufacturer to make a new but largely problem-free vehicle. It's been over 10 years and Tesla still can't get it right. Though, Tesla is not a "real"...
Here is another update on the ceramic coating of my new 2023 Ram 1500.
I performed the polishing step yesterday. Since the truck is new, it was pretty easy. Unfortunately I did not mask all of the black plastic pieces, and the spray from the polishing compound is on everything. Damn!
Today, I...
I just bought a new 2023 Ram 1500 Hemi. Gas here in San Diego is $6.00 per gallon. I just installed Solar Panels cause San Diego has THE highest electric rates in the United States. Given that I have solar panels and can charge it for free, I would have preferred to buy an EV truck. But the...
Regarding oil. My well-read but not expert option... Oil, unless it is "burnt" is good almost forever. The very important additive package in oil will not last forever, but it will probably last much longer than the 5K proposed, above. Rather than changing oil every 5K miles, it is probably...
Thought I would provide an update to my Ceramic Coating process. Today, I stripped any wax, removed the iron particles, and used the NanoSkin glide. Tomorrow I will polish.
This truck is about a month old and has only 2K miles on it. I was thinking the iron removal step was probably not...
Apparently, you do not understand. With a Tesla software recall, you don't have to go to the Dealer. they "push" the software update to your vehicle over the air. No Owner action required. For a Tesla hardware recall, you are correct about needing to go to a Tesla Service Center. But this...
Tesla has performed many Safety Recalls on its vehicles, via pushed software updates. It isn't a legal problem, it is a technology problem on the part of Ram! As someone above stated, its been 7-8 years and Ram still can't figure it out. Perhaps Ram should outsource their software...
