    Michigan Window Tint

    Getting the truck done Friday, I know the front 2 aren’t legal in Michigan but what’s everyone’s experience with what percentage tint most people can slide by with? Like how dark is an excuse FOR them to pull you over vs how dark is the secondary thing they ask you about? Also, sort of off...

    Misleading? It’s on me at the end of the day but still...

    Picked up a Flame Red Built to Serve yesterday, told the Salesman I’d take it sight unseen as it wasn’t even delivered to the dealership yet when I told him to put my name on it. Really wanted it because it’s 1 of 1000 so I would have gotten it anyways, but..... you literally can’t build it on...

    Updated window sticker?

    Has the disclaimer about losing 360 camera always been spelled out on the sticker or have they updated it because of the likely backlash?

    Aggressive Pricing.....

    https://www.lalondechryslerdodgejeepram.com/ Ok, so this dealership is in Imlay City, Michigan and they are advertising HEAVY on the radio here. Their ads tout “aggressive pricing” and they even go as far as to say “I don’t care if I lose 2 or 3 grand on a deal, I’ll do whatever it takes...

    How long do you sit in traffic or idle?

    Curious about other people’s idle time, I looked at mine and it seems really bad to me lol. I’m sure it’s directly related to MPG, it seems pretty high to me?

    Someone break it down for me please

    Ok, go easy on me here, 1st time in my life owning a truck, I come from stupid winter weather cars like mustangs, Camaros, Scat Paks so be gentle. If I’m in 4wd auto and leave traction control on, how is this different from any other vehicle? If no wheels have traction in snow or ice you will...

    This guy HAS to be full of

    Took my truck to the dealer for first oil change. Started talking to a guy with a 19 Laramie who was also waiting. After 20 seconds it’s apparent he’s one of those “I’m mr big time” types, the dealership had a SRT Durango I was looking at, he walks up and says, “these are cool trucks, I just...

    Software updates = better MPG?

    I know MPG has been talked about at nausea on these forums, but I’ve read a lot of post about people having software flashes to transmission, PCM’s etc, but no one has updated if any of these software changes have improved mileage. Just curious if software changes have a real world effect on MPG.

    iPhone XS Max screenshot

    Anyone else with this phone? I took a screenshot and tried uploading it on the site here but it says the image size is too big? Never had this problem with my Note 8? What’s the workaround?

    Results of conclusive study

    So, with all the threads about MPG, I did a study so you didn't have to. I drove like a grandma for 100 miles. Results, 13.9 MPG. Then, I drove like a complete a**hole for 100 miles, 4wd Auto in the rain, spirited take offs, passed some poor old guy on a 2 lane road, you get the point lol...

    ZF shift points

    Set the cruise to 45 today just to check mpg at that speed, but the trans wouldn't shift any higher than 6th gear? Only about 1500 rpm but I still wondered why at cruising speed it wouldn't go up to 7th or 8th? In case it gets asked, no the gear limit wasn't at 6, it was +8.

    Quality Vs Price

    Ok, so I see this topic littered everywhere throughout this forum so let's just have it out right here in 1 post. For xx dollars, this should be better. For xx dollars, this shouldn't be doing this. I dont get the relationship between sticker price versus quality and reliability expected? Unless...

    LED accessory back up lights?

    So, like others I find the backup camera at night to be useless. Its amazing clarity in daylight but totally sucks at night. I've been looking at adding some light to help improve night time camera quality, but I'm confused as to how they are powered? Do they plug into the standard plugs on the...
