    She's not qualified

    Have you all noticed that just about everything the Communists accuse the Republicans of doing they have already been guilty of doing that exact thing themselves? I believe it's called projecting.

    You need to stop watching MSNBC also.

    2023 Ram 1500 Long Horn-dashboard back lighting

    Yes, I had both front door windows tinted to match the factory tint on the rear doors and rear window.

    GJK....man, you got to stop watching MSNBC. I lived in Cali for the first 65 years of my life. It used to be a great place to live until communists like Harris started taking over. She didn't earn the nickname "Heels Up Harris" for no reason.

    2023 Ram 1500 Long Horn-dashboard back lighting

    The one gripe I have with the interior lighting is that unless it's kept VERY dim, the dash lights throw enough of a reflection on the drivers side window that it almost blinds me when making a left turn at night.

    sealed transmission nightmare. Skip plate recs?

    There was a guy on another forum that developed a deep sump trans pan that included a calibrated dipstick. If someone would do the same here, I'll gladly hop in line.

    33 gallon tank and fuel gauge

    I didn't say anything about MPG. If you do what I suggested, you will have a very good idea of how accurate your miles-to-empty gauge is.

    33 gallon tank and fuel gauge

    SHEESH..........Fill up a 5 gallon gas can and drive until you run out. Put the gas in the can into the truck and find a gas station. Fill up at the station. Ad the 5 gallons to the total on the pump and subtract the amount you estimate to have used from running out to filling up. I'll confirm...

    sealed transmission nightmare. Skip plate recs?

    I've got a 21 Lone Star with the "protection package" It's got several skid plates but none for the trans.

    Lug Nut Replacement

    I was in the exact same situation. Bought the McGard black set. I forgot what I paid for then but they were not the cheapest available. Had them 3+ years now and no marks even though each tire has been off 3 or 4 times already. As they say, buy once, cry once.

    Rear Window Leak 2021+ model years

    I'm wondering if this leak has anything to do with off-roading. Mine is a pavement princess but we get plenty rain down here in S/E Texas. So far, no leaks.

    Pulls to the right

    A good alignment shop will set the vehicle to pull a slight bit to the right. You almost won't notice it. Should a driver get distracted, fall asleep or otherwise be impaired, the vehicle won't wander across a center line and hit someone head on. Better to take out yourself than someone else I...

    Safe RPM's Traveling up a 7-10% Grade

    Yes.....Brutal probably has 2x the torque we do at something around 2k.

    Safe RPM's Traveling up a 7-10% Grade

    Peak is 3,950

    Safe RPM's Traveling up a 7-10% Grade

    It used to be that the torque peak was where you wanted to be when towing uphill. I used to go 2-300 RPM above it in case the engine pulled down a bit. Many moons ago, I had a motorhome with a 460 Ford. Gross weight was 18,000+- lbs. The advertised torque peak was 2,800 rpm. When pulling a hill...

    Rear Diff

    Nothing like jumping in after your customer has already taken care of the issue......I would imagine sending him a check for the repairs would be a good way to help.

    UNIDEN R4 install today

    Here is an alternative location to the common mirror mount. I mounted my V-1 in the pocket on the dash. The mount was actually made for my 2017 GMC Canyon. It was done by a custom audio shop when I was still in California. It fits perfectly. All I did was to drill a 3/16 hole in the bottom of...

    Pain in the butt safety stuff

    Same here, but at 72 with major arthritis, it's difficult for me to do the "look over your shoulder" thing now. The side mirrors are not a problem and the camera gives me a direct behind view. The first vehicle that had this was a 2008 Infifnti. At the time, I thought it was a useless waste of...

    Pain in the butt safety stuff

    I hear that. I've been driving since 1968. Many times without seat belts. I even rode in the back of a truck more than once...shame on me.
