    I'll PM you.

    Tire recommendation please

    Always been a Michelin LTX M/S guy on my previous Grand Cherokees. Went with the plus sized Michelin AT2's on the Ram. Does well for what I need them to do. Not as quiet as the LTX/Defenders, but that's to be expected as the tread is quite a bit more agressive.

    Do you carry a floor jack?

    I believe I've had mine 3 or 4 years. Bought it to use whenever I pulled the boat or jet skis. Only used a few times to change tires/inspect wheel bearings. Ended up selling those toys and purchased a camper. Have used it a few times for the same reasons. No issues at all.

    Do you carry a floor jack?

    I have a single axle travel trailer. This lil guy works great. Just check your axle clearance before purchasing. I've only used it for general maintenance stuff for the camper while in the driveway though. I have onboard air so don't really need a jack unless there is a total tire failure...

    Waze help

    Crap. My bad. I do apologize. It's not the green button. It is the voice com button. Holding it down activates Siri only. You're not going to get an Android device to play well with CarPlay as it's an iOS based kernal.

    Waze help

    If you physically plug in an iOS device to the vehicle, the vehicle interface will default to Apple CarPlay and Siri comes into the picture. Long press the green phone button on steering wheel for Siri access. A quick tap of same button accesses Uconnect. CarPlay and Uconnect will somewhat...

    Coating/sealant used on door panel plastic?

    Got it sorted out. Plastic was clean, but appeared very dry, very dull, and was extremely rough to the touch compared to the rest of the wonderful plastic in the truck. Broke out the heat gun and 10 minutes later, looks like brand new.

    Coating/sealant used on door panel plastic?

    It's just a wild guess. I'm an electrical/powertrain guy. I'd suspect it would have some sort of UV protection applied to it. Maybe it's just the way the plastic is molded that makes it shiny and smooth to the touch compared to what I'm seeing now. I am honestly not sure. I've revived...

    Coating/sealant used on door panel plastic?

    Maybe there is a misunderstanding. I'm wanting to reseal the plastic, not clean/strip it. It's clean currently. Judging by the lack of shine and the abrasive feel of it, I'm suspecting acetone was used as a quick cleanup.

    Black screen of death

    Mine did this a few times in the colder months. Suspect it was just a connection issue. I disconnected the plug and did find a bit of corrosion. Suspect water intrusion. Cleaned the connector, applied some dielectric grease, and it's been fine for a few months now.

    Coating/sealant used on door panel plastic?

    It's not worth replacing the door panels nor having to deal with insurance months later. I'm just now getting around to having some free time back and want to get them sealed before the good ol NC summer sun shows up. I just need to reseal the top most portion (where you would rest your arm if...

    Coating/sealant used on door panel plastic?

    I did, but due to my schedule, it's easier for me to respray them.

    Coating/sealant used on door panel plastic?

    Very random question: Does anyone know how or what is used to seal the cosmetic plastic on interior door panels? Reason asking, I had a windshield replaced recently and apparently it wasn't a smooth job for the glass shop. Seems they got urethane all over everything and the door panels...

    Would anyone have…..

    Here is the schematic from a 21 so you won't have to dig as much. As others have stated, I highly doubt it's changed for 22.

    Can the hemi run on e15?

    Why not convert Mexican black tar heroine? That's got to be at least 97 octane right? It's not our East coast stump water, but it's a solid start.

    Weirdest things to ruin a tire?

    Craziest thing I've ever seen in a tire is a double stack 9mm magazine. Wasn't my tire, but a good friend....and it wasn't his magazine. LOL

    Likewise. I report the spam when I see it. Really enjoy the board here. Hate spammers more than I hate Ford. :)

    Yeah, I've had to deal with the same thing. Even went as far as disabling new registrations for several days in an attempt to pick though any suspect account. And as mentioned, some were years old.

    Oh I know. No worries bud! As far as this forums user authentication, I'm unaware how it is currently setup for new members. Might be wise to turn on admin/moderator member approval for a few days. That usually makes them go away.

    spam posts

    Having been an admin on multiple forums from everything from SimpleMachine software, Vbulletin, etc... there are steps that can be deployed for the user registration process that greatly limits the amount of trash that gets in.
