    Outside temp reading 8 to 10 degrees high most of the time on a 2025 ram 1500 Laramie.

    the thinking is hemi engine runs HOT and they sell more hemi trucks than V6 or Ecodiesel, so they located it there to be away from the hot engine. previously there were in the front but still suspected to heat from engine.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    that little tab works wonders by itself. went through high vibration desert terrains, choppy washboards, million potholes in remote places up north and it stays. HIghly doubt it will fall off unless you run Vegas - Reno/ Mint 400, etc courses at race speed lol (even that I don't think it will...

    Is Air Suspension really that great?

    depends. if you're primary on highway pavement, then air is fine. if you're primary on dirt, then go with non-air. if you do a lot of twisties, non-air is the way. if you're like me and want good ride both on and off pavement, go non-air, then allocate about $8k in budget. You can go 70mph...

    Lost auto window up function.

    after connecting the battery you need to "reset" it. hold it for 10-15 seconds after you roll it up. or roll it up, release, and hold it for 10-15 seconds. maybe 5-10 seconds work too but i usually hold it for 10-15 seconds. this work across most brands. if not then maybe see if there's a...

    anyone got an idiot's guide to suspension? 2020 Rebel (not air suspension)

    i always tell my paying customers: lifting is entirely optional. running big tires is also entirely optional. running aux lights are also entirely optional. running switches are equally optional. you don't have to do it NOW. life happens, and it is always better to deal with what happens first...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    look up "color theory" when you have time hahaha that is a scientific explanation of why certain color combos look good and may be helpful to you!

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    wow i am honored! edit: i really am no idea what i'm doing most of the time honestly. Just something I try and keep trying until I get to a result that looks okay. Point i'm making is, just DO it. The DOING part is the hardest part because it does not guarantee satisfactory results until you...

    Bighorn suspension upgrade

    not a fan of bottle jacks myself. the wheeled jacks are more versatile and safer (more stable) but if space is a constraint and you can find solid and stable surface when using then it can be fine. just know that it's not going to be better or more stable than the wheeled off-road floor jacks...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Working on 2026 Calendars and decided to use my truck as one of the graphics for the "vehicle" themed version. Also used the truck in the background of one of the Scenic themed one. You can get a glimpse of them here: 2026 Monthly Calendars

    Question about engine braking / ERS behavior on steep slippery descent

    yes that is normal because the speed is too much for the gear selected at low range. It'd gone to 3rd gear but you limited it to 2nd, so that happened to protect the transmission. You should still use brake to control your speed, though apply brake gently, alternatively, you can use Hill Descent...
