    Uneven Tire Wear

    That's a typical dealer answer when they don't know wtf they're talking about. Tire rubber is made in huge batches so why is only one tire having the issue? If a tire wears in only one position and alignment and suspension are good, it is likely a vehicle geometry issue. This is not something...

    Alignment: Firestone Could Not Align My 2021 Ram 1500 DT

    I've had my "19 on the Firestone lifetime since the first month of ownership. Never an issue. I find my store to be honest, never feel like I'm being sold. It's all about the people working there. I'd call around to a few other stores. Hard to beat a lifetime alignment and always ask for...

    12.0 GPS Navigation Location Wrong

    I've had some random issues with the Uconnect. Bluetooth dials my cell number and hangs up, screen flickers on and off randomly, etc. I have been 'curing' these with a battery disconnect. At 26k I'm thinking I need to consider an extended warranty.

    A/C Performance

    Yeah no way they performed the TSB with those temps.

    A/C Performance

    IMHO the Harbor Freight clamps are the best non TSB solution. Easy on off and I move them a bit once during the season so the hose doesn't get damaged. Been running that way for 2 years. I have no interest in a dealer doing such an invasive repair with all the associated risk. When I trade...

    Windshield Wipers suck.

    I go check PF before buying anything these days. Bought the jumper pack he recommended, charged it and put it in the truck. 5 months later my son's battery died at the car wash. AAA was a 90 minute wait. I drove over and hooked everything up and his car started right up. He now has a new...

    Sound Horn with Lock (2nd Press)

    Hope they don't fix this issue. The horn honk on lock has to be the most annoying feature ever!

    How to properly wash truck

    Big difference between washing it properly yourself and spending $$$$ per year on the latest magic coating and touchups. Mine will never see a commercial wash, that's for me, not the next owner.

    How to Get the Best Price on Your New Ram

    Credit Karma has my 19 limited w/ 25k at $60,000 which is more than I paid. If I had something else to drive for 6-12 months, it would be gone. Who knows how long this situation will last and with '22's coming, could get real crazy. One thing I thought of when I saw the CK value was that my...

    Can you get cash back for a trade?

    This is correct. and as you know in Georgia, you will pay around 6%. So at least mathematically you should not ask for cash back. I hate the way GA taxes vehicles vs the old ad valorem.

    Good-bye, my Ram is sold, new toy in the driveway.

    Did you not consider the new Ridgeline or the Tacoma? Granted you would pay more but the new Ridgeline is getting great reviews. If I could find one I'd probably trade today.

    Good-bye, my Ram is sold, new toy in the driveway.

    Also the fact that many of these new technologies and raw materials are made in countries not friendly to the USA. The changeover will happen but 30-50 years is probably more realistic.

    Just sold to Vroom...

    Do it! This could be a one time chance to correct that mistake.

    Air conditioning Hack

    Why would they charge $100 for a TSB service even if they deny it? I use the clamp and take it off in the winter, reinstall in summer. Not a big hassle as I check air filter etc. at the same time. Not worried about hose failure at all.

    What's the 'A' off button for?

    Lift up on the brake prior to full stop, then reapply...works every time.

    What's the 'A' off button for?

    On Chevy's if you just slightly lift on the brake before you come to a full stop, the engine will stay on.

    Spare sidewall dents

    No concerns with that. If you had to use that spare it would ride rough until the tire warmed up and got back it's shape.

    Rate my Limited Build before I proceed -

    You can put anything in there you'd store in the cab. I do have some warping a year and a half in, parked outside everyday. That said I'd still get them. Have the sunroof but never use it. Should have saved the $.

    Detailing and Waxing

    Turtle Wax is making some great stuff these days. Check out Project Farm on utube. He did an amazing comparison of spray sealants. Higher priced products are not always better!
