At the ambient temperature at the vehicle and the measured 50 degrees at the center vent, your vehicle is exceeding the factory specification (90 F ambient, 55 F center vent). Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank...

My Laramie has the Canyon Brown interior with light colored, leather seat bolsters. I do get blue dye transfer from my jeans, but I clean that area regularly. I wouldn't trade for black if I did it again just for that problem and lose the rest of the stunning Canyon Brown interior. Regards...

For this discussion knowing your geographical location would be helpful. As far as vehicle description, you may ask a future question where that information is important. Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank...

If you grew up in a time when most people only had a radio (no TV), hardware stores were all independently owned, there was a person that actually delivered milk to your house, and had an 'ice box' instead of a refrigerator, you can get use to anything. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet...

When most vehicles leave the factory the tires are usually overinflated. that's because it's unknown how long the vehicle will be sitting before it's sold, and also to prevent flat spotting from sitting too long without moving. However, as others have mentioned the tires should be set at the...

I don't use Auto very much, but when I saw this post I immediately went into Ram Owner paranoia mode. Mine is apparently working properly. Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels...

If all they need is a photo of the cracked frame, the window assembly should still be hanging around somewhere in the dealership. I thought they were being sent back to the window manufacturer. Maybe not. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21...

Just as an aside, in the past two weeks I've seen three car haulers carrying Rams in my area, all 4th gen Warlocks. No DTs. My dealer has 23 4th gen Warlocks, no DTs, no 2500/3500s on his lot. There is ONE 4500 chassis cab. Pretty dismal. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad...

You realize this video was a spoof. My only question is why the box of Argo was in the video. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 052343 miles.

Increasing the octane rating of gasoline, increases the temperature required to suppress pre-ignition of the fuel. Octane by itself will not be the determining factor that causes combustion temperatures to rise. Heat generated in the combustion chamber of a reciprocating engine is the result of...

I used the tennis ball concept for ten years and not only was it completely successful (my wife loved it), but it was cheap. Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03...

Ram uses the same interior design assembly philosophy across most of their models, so I think this will help you, but this is a rough instruction since I've not removed one from a conventional cab model. Locate the bottom edge of the Upper Trim Panel (the one you want to remove). If the lower...

Looking at the trade magazines, I think you're probably right. It's being reported that some electronic manufacturers that make components where there's no competition are raising prices to boot. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33...

Since it isn't in your signature, we need to start with the vehicle information: year, model, engine, final drive gears (differentials), cab size, and any check engine/problems codes pop up? Also, location, did you buy it new or used, and any engine/drivetrain modifications? Best regards...

There is a proper way to break-in brake pads. What I was thinking is that at one time the vehicle's brakes really got cooked, either from really high speed braking, or long braking down a grade. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33...

I blood gets warm every time I hear one of these dealer service examples. First, I don't believe this meets factory specifications. Second, this could be a safety issue. Third, Honesty can sometimes be the enemy of doing right thing. Having been in this business I find it hard to believe that...

Have you considered paintless repair? I had a nasty ding in the hood of my Dakota and the "dentman" fixed it so you couldn't even see where the damage was. Of course, if there's damage through the color coat you'll still need to paint it, but it might save you the cost of a fender. Best...

Have you ever lent your truck to someone else, unsupervised? Best regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33 gallon fuel tank, factory dual exhaust, 18” wheels. Build date: 03 June 2018. Now at: 051246 miles.

In the great sea of anecdotal examples it appears people have different ways of defining 'reliability.' Our two experiences have not be stellar. Our 2000 Avalon had the worst shifting transmission in a car that I've ever driven. Bang shifts and flairs between shifts were common. After replacing...

Only one comment here: if you do this yourself, make sure the vehicle is completely level. A friend of mine's son did his and had a problem with the transmission shorty after his fluid change. The dealer found it was between one quart and two quarts low on fluid, which the dealer corrected. No...
