    Transmission Fluid Change Quantity

    Yep.....I believe it was designed for the Wankel Rotary Engine so the engine bay was very small. Problem with the Wankel was very poor mileage and oil consumption....just ask any owner of the first Mazda RX2's.

    e-Torque Battery Pack replacement

    Exactly, how many folks do you know that have a good car, or refrigerator, or just about anything? There was a study done some time ago and it seems that for every positive comment, there are 27 negative ones. This study was done way before the internet so I'm sure it's even more out of whack now.

    Transmission Fluid Change Quantity

    Nice pan. If they would just add a way to mount a dipstick it would be worth 2x as much. That would allow you to check and add fluid without crawling underneath. There was a guy that did just that for the GMC Canyon/Chevy Colorado V-6 and he must have made a fortune. I'm sure the market is...

    Transmission Fluid Change Quantity

    Our transmission is used worldwide in who knows how many vehicles., same for the engine. They probably put the drain/fill bolts in the model they were given and left it at that. Not defending engineering at all. If you are angry at this, you probably didn't experiance some if the idiotic things...

    RAM1500 5.7 Coolant Temperature 226F

    Wrong. The t-stat rating is when it is supposed to start opening. If the t-stat is sticking, you will not be getting proper circulation and the temps will run above whatever is considered normal.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    I would like to know how an electronic sensor in the tank can cause a mechanical pump nozzle to malfunction. Sounds like more dealer BS to me. I've got a '21 with the 33 gallon tank and I've had this issue with very few pump nozzles.

    Black door handles

    I've got a 2021 White Lonestar with the Night Edition Package and my handles are body color. No chrome on the truck but I think they would look a bit out of place blacked out. They would really stick out against all that white.

    Ceratec (not an oil thread)

    I remember reading an article some time ago that said your oil filter will trap just about all products due to their micron size being larger than that of the filter. Personally, I've never put anything in an engine or gas tank except Marvel Mystery Oil....Yeah, I'm very old school.

    MDS Delete

    Just ordered the Pulsar. I put a bug in the salesman's ear about including a stop/start disable in future software updates.

    MDS Delete

    This is what I do also. I looked at this but it would void your warranty. Pulsar 32451 Pulsar Module In theory, if you take it off before returning to the dealer for any warranty work, but I cannot get a definitive answer for the company or anyone else.

    Add-On CD Player

    As my name indicates, I'm probably one of the older guys here (turned 70 last September). What I did over time was to rip every CD I ever bought to a wave file at the least compression available. My collection is on my iphone, ipad, laptops, you get the idea. Just plug it into a usb port or...

    Odometer Adjustment

    I couldn't find one either so I just used some white-out and a #2 pencil. That worked until the first time the buyer cleaned the interior. He is really mad for some reason.

    Start/Stop disable

    Why don't you use the switch on the lower part of the dash? You have to reset it every time you start up but to me, that's not too big of a deal.

    Better tires for my '21 1500?

    I just went with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S in the stock size. Those stock tires are really bad in the wet. Now that I've ditched them I have guaranteed a 6 month droughto_O

    Rear Tires

    I'm having the same issue also with a 2021 Lonestar: Stock Bridgestones 275/55-20's, 30,000 miles. Right rear has virtually no tread left. Left rear probably 25% remaining. Both fronts are at 50% or more. Thinking of replacing both rears with a different tire as these are absolutely horrible in...

    Travel Trailer Tire Recommendations?

    Goodyear Endurance. You get what you pay for. You don't want a tread separation or worse in the middle of nowhere.

    Where to put the dog…..

    I used to breed Weimaraners, so I know about dogs that are a bit on the hyper side. Just get a wire crate of sufficient size and tie it down in the bed. If you are worried about airflow, a small 12v fan should work.

    DIC Question

    When watching the "Offroad" screen in the DIC, I noticed that the stub axles will change from white to orange if I take a corner faster than I should. This is on asphalt in 2wd. If this the traction control kicking in or something else?

    "Off Road" Function in DIC

    Just noticed this after owning the truck almost a year and a half: When taking a corner (on pavement) a bit faster than I should, the 4 stub-axles that are normally white in 2WD mode turn yellow. It starts with the rear 2 and if I push it a bit harder, the front ones also change. Is this the...
