    Nitrous oxide discussion

    There's nothing wrong with a WOT once in awhile in the right places. It's kinda fun to light her up. Gives me an idea. The service writer at my dealership is a good guy, but wound up a bit too tight sometimes. Never occurred to me to put a nitrous button in the dash. :ROFLMAO:

    Stelantis pushback

    Lots to overcome to get this to mainstream use for the everyday Joe's like us. Where is all the raw material going to come from and at what cost to create all the batteries needed. We need an entirely new industry to collect, recycle and redistribute all the worn out power units. We aren't...

    4auto 'feeling in pedal'

    To the OP. I get the same sensation from the truck as you describe in the colder temps of winter. It is normal because as stated above the tcase clutches are partially engaged as they should be. Once it's warmed up to operating temps I don't notice it. I make a point of engaging the tcase...

    Charging meter movement

    I've notice mine will fluctuate a little bit like you describe. My last ruck had a variable rate alternator in it, just to save maybe a very small thimble of gas. They will vary a little depending on the over all charge and condition of the battery. Mine will sit for 3 or 4 days at a time...

    Surround View Camera system - worth getting ?

    Don't forget about dogs and cats. That will break your heart too. I thought back up camera's were mandatory after 2011 model years. First contact for us is the wife's 16 Maxima. Camera, adaptive cruise control and auto braking. It took me awhile to get comfortable with all of it. I knew...

    Surround View Camera system - worth getting ?

    Looks like you are planning on pulling a trailer from time to time from your description. You can hook up trailers by yourself, like I did for years. Back up, get out and look, back up a little more, get out and look, back up just a touch more and look. Have you ever picked up the tongue of...

    Rookie RAM owner Questions

    I've never noticed a reflection obstructing the side mirrors, but then I keep my dash lights really dimmed at night. eTorgue is designed to save a little gas by the stop and start. It also aids in getting the truck moving. I don't have it, didn't make sense for me and how I operate. The...

    metal shavings normal before first oil change?

    That isn't right. Time to get the dealership involved. Something is shredding itself.

    Truck not engaging proper gear?

    I've had that happen. I found I had hit the gear limiter in the steering wheel with hand. Duh.

    Oil Catch Can on PCV Return to Throttle Body - are they worth it?

    I put a Mishimoto on within the first 500 miles. I empty it about 1/2 thru the oil change cycle and at each oil change. You don't need to empty it at the 1/2 point, but I just do. I find the most watery milking looking gunk during the winter months. I live in the midwest so winter weather...

    Ford F250s the proven hyper aggressive killer…..

    I agree with your message. Still at the end of the day we all have to answer for our actions of the day. I've got a million plus miles logged in semis long ago. No accidents in all those miles somehow. Had my share of oh **** moments, like any other professional driver. Which brings me to...

    Looking for All Weather tire replacement

    If your are going to swap tires in the fall, then the Michelin Defender's would be a very good choice. You could also consider a set of Cooper AT3 4S. I replaced my OEM Dueler's with the Coopers. They are an all around great year round tire for me. They are not an extreme mud tire, but will...

    Goodbye HEMI

    Times R a changin, they always have. The buying public, infrastructure and manufacturers are not able to be as nimble as some who are trying to drive the changes think they are. We all for the most part want to do out part. The oceans are warming and emitting more moisture into the...

    New Tonneau Cover

    I bought a Lomax cover this time around. Leightweight, trifold, 60 lbs, flush with the bed, easy in and out. Mine does not interfere with the tailgate. I like it much better than the soft roll up I had on the last truck.

    Windshield haze?

    There is a product called Invisable Glass. The stuff just flat works. It will take 2 or 3 passes with it to get the gunk off of your windshield. It will clean it down to the glass. Clean your wiper blades as well, or replace them depending on the results. Use clean microfiber towels to...

    Adaptive headlights will now be allowed in the US

    Sounds beneficial if all the glitches are worked out and they are reliable. A guess on my part will be that you will see this as an option on high end and upper trim levels as an option to start with. The second step will be that these lights will be required on all vehicles at some point in...

    2019 Limited - Need help with tire selection - downsized from 22" to 20"

    Everybody has a tough time deciding what tire style and tire to put on their trucks. Myself included, just went thru the gauntlet, and made it to the other side a couple of weeks ago. Since you are changing wheel size, you will have to recalibrate the computer anyway to maintain accurate...

    Towing a uhaul trailer

    When you back it up. Put your hand in the middle of the bottom of the steering wheel. With that hand turn the wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go. Short trailers will turn very quickly. It takes a little more stopping distance, so plan on it. Don't do anything quick or sudden...
