    Pressure washer & Foam Cannon

    I should add as well, that I had bigger ones in the past. They always took up room and 99% of the time its only purpose was washing vehicles. I got rid of them, put this on hanging shelves from the ceiling and have been pleased ever since. Basically, I didn't need the versatility of the...

    Pressure washer & Foam Cannon

    Honestly, the smaller portable Ryobi does a great job on washing your truck/cars. It has more than enough power, as I only use the yellow tip and never the turbo when washing. It is portable enough I can hold it one hand use the wand in the other when walking around the corner. I just did...

    Dealership employees use my personal vehicle for business/joy ride

    Right, that wouldn't be acceptable to me either.

    Dealership employees use my personal vehicle for business/joy ride

    I always give people the benefit of the doubt in that they are human, can have a bad day, or make a poor decision. However, my expectation when extending that grace to them is for the response to be apologetic and offer to make it right. 99% of the time, that will resolve the issue for me. I...

    Recommend me detailing products

    I do agree with this of course, and I own tubs and tubs of microfibers from chemical guys, Cobras, etc. I avoid the Walmart and ones from the autoparts store that I've seen. For most purposes, the Kirkland ones are great value and will not scratch your vehicle when used correctly. Now if I...

    Rear brake assist ever scare the **** out of you?

    Mine has done it backing up, but I leave it on due to the amount of children always playing on the sidewalk around my house. The front sensor on the other hand scared the hell out of me while driving 60 mph on the highway while approaching an underpass. Beeps went into full alarm mode and my...

    Recommend me detailing products

    Two bucket wash if by hand and hose. Soap- OTC: Meguiars Gold Class is at most auto stores. I prefer Ultima Paint Guard Wash ($12) or Reset by CarPro. Quick Detailer: Depends a lot on what your last step protection is. Meguairs Quick Detailer is pretty decent overall. I like carpro...

    Leather Care

    Echoing Timeless, I do like Aero 303 leather. I haven't used Carpro Perl yet, but I have many of their products and trust it is pretty good. They are awesome about answering any questions you might have on process as well. There are several new threads on autogeek forum right now on leather...

    Consumer Reports' Reliability rating for Ram 1500 - doesn't make sense

    Fair point. That might have been late breaking enough that auto manufacturers couldn't predict if their headsets would work with AA or CP. It more chaps me that they put in their panasonic radios incapable of doing true voice commands in the RAM.

    Leather Care

    I think it is line very much with the quick tricks and tips many dealers employ that are low cost and designed for temporary gain only( no offense to any dealers online). There are numerous good quality, ph neutral, leather cleaners out there that will not hurt your interior. There are more...

    Consumer Reports' Reliability rating for Ram 1500 - doesn't make sense

    My 2 cents. I gave up on trusting CR a long time ago. I love my RAM. With that said, it has definitely required more repairs (under warranty) than my Camry I've had 7 years or my prior Escape I had for 14. I bought the lifetime warranty for this reason, and thus far both of my local dealers...

    87 vs 89 octane.

    I can't find 89 with no ethanol where I'm from, so I normally use 87 without ethanol. I add Bell Performance Mix-I-Go if I do the 89 with eth.

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    They replaced the intermediate shaft, which fixed part of the noise but not the thud. They then replaced the A pillar mounts and all bolts. Appears to be fixed. Highlighting the importance of this forum, the service manager told me they originally did not find TSB from this thread and thus...

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    Will do if they don't get it figured out. They had it all day today and the fix they attempted didn't work per the call I received a bit ago. They mentioned they hadn't looked at the TSB# I provided (from this thread), but instead tried a Star case and were talking with engineers from...

    Front end clunk while turning - FIXED - TSB # 23-047-18

    I have mine in currently for this sound. They said they ordered parts for the shaft I believe? Fingers crossed when I get it back that it resolves it. They said they couldn't find a TSB, but referenced a STAR case they were following. I'm sending them this TSB as an FYI in case they want to...

    Parking garage

    I've measured multiple times now and I think I'm good...but I'm driving to a hotel that has offsite parking garage option listed at 6ft 6 inches. I have the Limited, 22 inch, with air suspension. With it lowered into Entry/Exit, my measurements say I have a couple of inches maybe? Does that...

    Mud flaps

    +1 on the Gatorbacks. Also appreciate the customer service. I had some of the flat black finish on the steel plate flake off after about 6 months. Sent them a picture and they said that's unacceptable and sent a new one, which I got in 2 days.

    Air Suspension Opinion

    The ability to lower saved my bacon (or at least made me feel a lot better) in a parking garage earlier this week. Ride quality is better for me in my test drives. Ride quality was why I went to RAM to begin with, and this won the wife over. YMMV No issues thus far in the cold weather.
