    Replacement Lug Nuts

    I got a set of the McGuards, including the locking lug. I forgot what I paid though. Not cheap as I recall; buy once, cry once:confused: The one thing I didn't care for with the black package was that the lug nuts were chrome. I replaced them with a black set and I think they make the wheels...

    Navigation Question

    Thanks, I've been thinking about using google maps for awhile. I just wish it would use the full screen (12"). Also, I never continued with the Ram Connect or U connect whatever it's called.

    Navigation Question

    I'm thinking of not renewing my Sirius XM subscription. Will I loose the Navi/GPS functions? I'm fairly new in my area and would be lost without it. Thanks

    MPG improvements with different tires?

    I got rid of those awful OEM Bridgestones that have absolutely zero wet weather traction. Went to Michelin Defenders. Better traction all around but about a 5% mileage penalty. At least I'm not looking out a side window when taking turnso_O

    [Official Bright White Clear Thread] Let's see those Bright White trucks!

    Back in my younger days, my ex and I bred Weimaraners. Talk about energy!! I'm 71 now and only deal with older rescues. The downside of that is I've had to take too many to the Rainbow Bridge, but at least their last years were good.

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    OK, I'll play.....who here has experimented with different sized pulleys on their ETorque in order to get a quicker launch when you take your foot off the brake? Seriously guys, 95% of us could not tell the difference between either gearing if the tach and gear indicator was covered. This kind...

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    I wonder how they would handle this with my 7yr unlimited mileage warranty? In theory the 3/36 is extended by this. Guess vapor is different from emissions even though they are preventing essentially the same thing - harmful releases.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    Glad they fixed it for you, but how in hell is the vapor canister not part of the emissions warranty? Can you share the BS they handed you before they did the "courtesy repair"?

    Windshield wiper replacement?

    Been using Bosch Icon's. The last set lasted 1.5 years which is great here in Southeast Texas. Between the rain, tree pollen and these damn black bugs that excrete some sort of sticky liquid the cheaper ones are junk after 2-3 months. I have a 2021 which calls for 24" blades. Did they change the...

    Auto Start/Stop error

    Have a 21 Lonestar w/51k miles. I have not yet had the S/S issue but I think I may be heading towards it: When stopped, the restart sometimes gets a bit jerky, also it shudders a bit during shutdown. No warning lights. It only does this in the afternoon when I am leaving work after it sits for 9...

    Ford to Eliminate Park Assist Feature - Will Stellantis follow?

    Talking about a single item is tunnel vision? I'm wasn't concerning myself with anything else but the thread subject and I wasn't the one that expanded it, you did.

    Ford to Eliminate Park Assist Feature - Will Stellantis follow?

    RAM app no remote start

    Thought they all did.....my bad.

    RAM app no remote start

    Just use the FOB....Paying for the useless and/or redundant features on UConnect is a waste of money.

    Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Light

    See my post above.....It's been cold down here over the last month so I've been using my remote start (from the FOB) just about every morning. Last night, I get an email from the powers that be at RAM telling me that I should renew the remote app so I can use the remote start feature on it. No...

    Extended warranty

    I believe to get an extended warranty from Chrysler, you have to buy it prior to the standard warranty expiring. The warranty would possibly expire this year and only give you an additional 16,000 miles unless it starts from the day you purchase the vehicle.

    Extended warranty

    Look over the paperwork very carefully. All extended warranty start dates are when the vehicle was originally put into service and not additional time/mileage. In your case the warranty may expire some time this year. If indeed he is offering you an additional 5 years from date of your purchase...

    Extended warranty

    I look at an Extended Warranty as a form of insurance policy. You need to be a combination electrical engineer, mechanic and contortionist to work on just about any newer vehicle these days. That and a small fortune in specialty tools is also needed. I've got a 21 LoneStar bought in 3/21 and is...
