    What happens to Trucks that are returned under lemon laws?

    Buy back cars are different than lemon law cars.

    2026 RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7 recommended oil 0w-20.

    Couple videos. First one is specifically about additives. Second on, he mentioned why additives can be bad when added, and the Hemi is specifically mentioned.

    Those nylon locking nuts can be a *****.

    What happens to Trucks that are returned under lemon laws?

    If it has gone through the entire lemon law process, it is returns to manufacturer where they have the engineers diagnose the issue. Usually lemon law vehicles are scrapped and not re-sold. If it was just a "buy back" that didn't go through lemon law process, then it will be repaired and sold...

    What happens to Trucks that are returned under lemon laws?

    Insurance buy back is completely different than a lemon law, or manufacturer buy back.

    Digital rearview camera swap with cargo cam physical location?

    There isnt a CHMSL meant for the 4th Gen cab used on the HD Rams that will fit the 5th gen 1500s.

    2026 RAM 1500 Hemi 5.7 recommended oil 0w-20.

    Do not run any oil additives. They can cause more harm than good. Modern engine oils are engineered to protect. If your oil isn't doing the job find a better oil. Dumping in additives changes the chemistry of the oil blend, and what you dump in could react poorly with the additives already...

    Digital rearview camera swap with cargo cam physical location?

    The HDRam chmsl is physically different than the 5th gens because the HD trucks still use the 4th gen cabs. It will not bolt on to your 5rh gen.

    The other option is to buy a set of the pass through sockets and ratchet. Then you can get a tool on the hex of the shift above the nut, to hold the shaft when you break the nut loose.

    E-Locker???

    I have a truck with a LSD, one with a lunchbox locker, and my RAM with the e-locker. The LSD works "okay" but will still allow one wheel to spin in extreme traction differences between each wheel. Which is when you would want it to be locked the most. Lunch box locker, Powertrax No-Slip...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Leave spring pressure on the strut when loosening the bolt. Will help keep the shaft from spinning. Once the nut starts to loosen, then compress the springs. As for ball joint, never use a pickle fork. All they do it destroy the ball joint boots. Hopefully you have new UCAs already...

    Tonneau cover advice

    Just my opinion, but unless you go with a full fiberglass bed cover that goes over the rails, and do a tailgate seal, no tonneau cover prevents water from getting in the bed. I have a Gator ETX soft roll up. The only water that gets in my bed comes from around the tailgate. I did install a...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Never red, they use blue from the factory on the bolts for the caliper mounting bracket, but I wouldn't use them in the caliper pins

    E-Locker???

    Not hating, but there should never be a time when you "need" LSD at highway speeds.

    E-Locker???

    If you driving on a highway, the elocker is disengaged, because it unlocks above 25mph. So no issues there.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I had built a 410 stroker and it lived a short life with a catastrophic failure over the summer. Since I would have had to buy a new block and rotating assembly, I decided to jump on the Hemi swap bandwagon. I still have another Dakota R/T this is inheriting a lot of the parts and will become...

    Dashcam Recommendations

    I've had a FitcamX on my truck for over three years now and even bought one for my wife's Traverse. They don't lost one for her traverse, but the Blazer one works perfect with a little trimming. No issues with either one. Have the app to connect to the camera is a HUGE plus. If you get in an...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Drove it to Kansas City and back to pick up parts for my 6.4 Hemi swap I am doing on one of my Dakota R/Ts.
