    CNA National service contract

    Not familiar with this company, but I will personally never get a non-factory extended warranty again. In my experience they deny more claims than factory, and when they do approve them they want you to use non-oem parts.

    Ordering gave me time to test the other Brands!

    Good luck with 'patiently' waiting :) I'm on my fourth Ram now, a 2020 Limited that I love to drive, best truck I have ever owned. We also have a 2014, and while it's not as smooth as the 2020 (mainly due to the lack of air suspension), it still drives fine. However... The styling of the...

    100,000 mile oil analysis

    I don't ask them anything, I just send the sample in to Blackstone. They perform a series of tests and then add some text at the top interpreting those results. When you send a sample in, they do ask for some data, and I believe oil weight is one, can't remember exactly. I always specify the...

    100,000 mile oil analysis

    Yes, I usually keep my trucks for about 7 years/250,000 miles. I have not changed the transmission fluid and do not plan to. We also have a 2014 with just over 200,000 miles and have not changed transmission fluid on it. Shifts like new (knock on wood). The way I cover myself is to get an...

    100,000 mile oil analysis

    I have been using the dealership for oil changes. I specify the weight, and they use whatever they have. Don't know the brand.

    100,000 mile oil analysis

    Not to start another oil thread 🙃, but I thought I'd post the analysis of my oil when changed around 100,000 miles. I'm a simple man, so I follow the oil change counter in the dash as much as possible, and always use synthetic 5W/20. Enjoy.

    2021 UConnect 4 12" display goes dim when headlights are on

    I override this with the dimmer switch next to the headlight switch. Mine's a 2020 though. Are 2022 models different?

    285/50R22 or 305/45R22 on 2019 on stock Air ride

    there is a slight rub, on the passenger side only, when reversing with the steering cranked over hard. Could probably easily fix it, but have not gotten around to it.

    Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

    Very Nice. Can this trailer be taken on unpaved/unimproved roads?

    Catalytic converter stolen; Progressive only endorse aftermarket converter, any issue?

    The real moral of this story: never take your vehicle to a shop that your insurance recommends. Always pick your own, That way, the shop is on your side, not the insurance's.

    Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter (Hurricane) Inline-Six-Cylinder (H.O.) Engine - Specifications!

    The thing that most concerns me is the Direct Injection. Plenty of history on how that will result in carbon buildup on your valves which are no longer 'cleaned' by fuel. Most tips on how to prevent the carbon buildup involve much more regular maintenance than you'd do on a hemi (or current V-6)

    Device Not Supported

    I have had the same issue in the past. Rebooting phone and restarting truck worked to fix it. Later I found that plugging my usb cable into a different port (on back of the console for instance) would also make phone connect again.

    If not a Ram, then what?

    If I were buying now, I'd get the 'Pro' version of the F-150 Lightning - $41K is a smoking deal for an all-electric full-size pickup (compared to other electric vehicles). And that's before a possible $7500 fedral credit.

    Aftermarket cellphone holders

    I try to keep it simple/universal. In my current trucks I use the Bayou Goat Mount - it gives me a convenient platform to put my suction cup mount on, and the power is right next to it, very convenient: Bayou Goat Mount

    Beer - what are you drinking / brewing thread

    I'm not a beer nerd, but I know what I like. What I like: almost any german beer, since no preservatives = no hangover Can't go wrong with Franziskaner, Paulaner, HofBrau etc. The greatest thing for me about traveling around Germany is that almost every town has its own beer, and they're all...

    305/45 22 - TIRE PRESSURE?

    There's a website where you can enter original (OEM) tire size and the new one, and it will tell you what pressure to run it at. I posted link a few times already: clicketyclick

    Fogs won't work, Factory LED

    headlight constantly on even when switch is set to off is a red flag - that shouldn't happen. Troubleshooting should start there.

    how often is everyone changing oil

    I change it as near 1% as I can - mileage is close to 10,000 then, so every 1% = 100 miles. I don't tow.
