    Painting front skid plate

    did they take the bumper off to LineX the skid plate or did they just mask it off while the skid plate was attached? I got two different opinions from diff guys - one said he can just mask it off and spray while still attached. Another guy said he has to take off the bumper because there's no...

    Sales Tricks while you're sitting at the desk...

    Thanks. I would call it stubbornness to the sales process. I take vacation day off of work to try and get it all done on one day. I use Google Earth to find storage lots the night before then drive around. its a one day vision quest to try to get the deal I want.

    Sales Tricks while you're sitting at the desk...

    This all good advice. I did a few extra things on purchasing last two vehicles. I usually go in Tuesday of last week of the month. I find who the main competition is to the vehicle I really want. I get them to let me "take home and drive it for a day" I drive around looking for the dealer...

    How did you seal your tailgate?

    I have a Diamondback bed top. It has a rubber seal for top of tailgate. So I used the Truxxedo seals for the side and bottom. Now....no water ingress.

    Rebel tires missing snowflake

    its basically the cheaper version of the Duratrac. (w/o Snow Peak Cert). Gonna wear out the OEM's for a bit here during summer/fall, then reassess replacing with GYDT with Snowpeak. Or go different route like KO2s, Nitto or whatever...

    Winch

    They should be posting something any day now. I spoke to them beginning of last week and they said they were doing final fitting and going to shoot video. They said check IG, which I do 2x a day. The special clutch front access feature is going to be an add-on and they said they still...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Got mount from 67 designs. Then got a 30x30 Black extrusion off Amazon and cut it down to length the was slight less than the width between the 2 screws in the dash. Used 3m heavy duty adhesive tape on bottom. Going to add small brackets that use the dash screws to fix the extrusion tight.

    5.7 e-torque or regular hemi?

    Visited my service dept today for simple reflash of computer for the V71 recall. Service guy asked if I had the e-torque. I said no. He said good thing. Lots of problems and now we (dealers) can’t order them. We have few on the lot but customers are buying the regular Hemi to avoid problems...

    Huge recall on 1500s because airbags don’t work.

    Well the valet in the men's lounge told me that they were going to be offering new services but it was hard to hear him through the hot towel on my face. So I took the towel off, took a sip of the complimentary 25 yr old McCallan and asked him to explain. After lighting my free Hoyo de...

    Huge recall on 1500s because airbags don’t work.

    Looked it up on most recalls and least recalls. Strangely, Mercedes topped the list of most recalls with C-Class. I know nothing about Mercedes other that German, blah, blah, blah. Guess the C-Class was/is a recall rat trap.

    Huge recall on 1500s because airbags don’t work.

    lol, yes. The dealer service dept is really good. If they are going to have my truck overnight, free loaner. Apparently one of the top 5 FCA dealer service departments in the country and its 8 min drive from my house. And if for some reason I'm somewhere where I need a free car wash or...
