    PPF horror story - don't be like me

    A little more info I may have left out. This was Suntek PPF, but as far as I can tell he's not an authorized installer. I don't even see him listed on Ceramic Pro as an installer, despite him heavily pushing their lineup of products and having photos of attending their training. Still no...

    Random Blower Motor Noise

    I have had several 5th gen trucks and they've all done it. My 2021 is less noticeable, but still does it. No idea how or why.

    Lug nuts

    Or buy 3 sets on eBay for nearly the same price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/24-Black-OEM-Factory-Style-Lug-Nuts-14x1-5-For-2019-Ram-1500-Newer-22mm-Hex-/143905797831?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

    PPF horror story - don't be like me

    Some of you fellas may be in one of the Facebook groups where I initially posted photos of this, but didn't go into detail. Wanted to share my experience as well as get the name out there of the scumbag who's responsible. Bought a new truck a few weeks ago. Decided I wanted to get PPF on the...

    ecodiesel driving experience

    2K in 4 days, nice! Just a tip, try to avoid those right-off-the-highway stations for diesel. They are typically horrendeously overpriced. I think your DEF guesstimate is off. No way it should be using that much DEF. Give it some time and keep tracking it.

    Black lugs: which did you buy.???

    Yes, but I had 0 issues with them arriving damaged and I've bought 3 sets. The damage that will occur over time is from installing & removing the lugs. Really just isn't a way around it - I've been careful as can be and still have tiny bits of rust forming on contact spots from the socket. Not...

    ecodiesel driving experience

    There is no lag in my truck. I push the pedal and it goes. March 2021 build date. There was a TSB for earlier built trucks, but I have not driven an older one to compare. For anyone considering, just test drive and ideally buy a fresh build to see if you like it. 400 miles on my EcoDiesel so...

    F150 Lightning - Ford's fully electric truck

    I have had a nasty habit of trading vehicles all the time myself, rarely putting more than 10-20K miles on them. I do plan on keeping this EcoDiesel for a long time, but we'll see how that goes. Yes, I'm aware last gen EcoD's had some nasty issues. The fact is this engine has been almost...

    F150 Lightning - Ford's fully electric truck

    For some, the mileage is a concern. Resale is also important. We can't afford to be throwing away vehicles after just a few years on the road, especially not ones with upwards of 1,000 pounds of battery materials. The third party battery replacement market is basically nowhere to be seen for...

    New Tazer DT firmware beta

    Good. It's a god awful "feature" and should be illegal. I don't know what idiot thought this was a good idea (not blaming ZAuto, because this has been a thing for awhile). And of course 3rd party companies and dealers are profiting from it, charging hundreds of dollars for the "feature" at...

    TSB #24-001-20 A/C Fix. Has anyone had it done yet? Plus are you happy with the results?

    I haven't had the TSB done personally, but I am driving a new truck that doesn't need it. For reference, I have had 2019 and 2020 trucks where I was pretty unhappy with A/C performance requiring me to do the "A/C hack" with a hose clamp during the hot months. Happy to report the A/C in my 2021...

    F150 Lightning - Ford's fully electric truck

    Not very promising. Tesla was covering the powertrain on their expensive models for 8 years/unlimited miles. They have since dropped that to more reasonable figures, but they have developed a decent track record for reliability and gotten a lot of kinks out. To think you could drive one of...

    Looking to dump SXM. Spotify Premium?

    Apple and Amazon recently added support for hi-res audio, so Spotify must also be coming fairly soon to maintain competitiveness. They've been teasing hi-res audio for years to certain users.

    Uconnect 5 Software Will Be Coming To The 2022 Ram 1500 Lineup:

    Interesting to see they didn't force the same 10" screen they've been using in the rest of the line-up into the RAM. My wife has it in her 2021 Pacifica. I love that screen size/layout. The 12" portrait screen in our RAMs is just about useless IMO - CarPlay/split-screen is just too small. I love...

    Tonneau Cover Questions

    I don't think so. Had both an MX4 and the Undercover (same parent company) Armor Flex, which is about the same price, but Undercover has better features and uses bedliner instead of paint.

    Audio Advice / Help Needed: Rear Headliner Speakers

    If you have reclining seats, easily. You just recline the seats fully, drop the center console, and look/reach behind each seat for a small pull loop - will release the seat back from the wall and let you fold it forward a bit. From there, remove a few plastic push pins and pull the rear wall...

    KN cabin air filter makes a difference!

    If you're getting more airflow in the same sized filter, that means it's filtering less, which makes sense because they want it to be reusable... that's all there is to it. And a washable filter? No thanks. Filters get disgusting, and no amount of washing will return to new condition.

    F-150 Lightning

    I haven't read much into the reveal yet, but I have a good bit of ownership experience with plug-in hybrids and EVs. I am surprised the effiiciency seems to be as low as 500~ Wh/mi. Ford did a good job accurately rating the Mach-E, so hopefully the Lightning gets the same treatment. Tesla on the...
