    Watches

    I've been extremely happy with my Citizen Blue Angel ECO Drive. Been wearing it over 10 years and never had to touch it except twice a year for DST on/off. Set it when I got it by WWV and it hasn't lost a second. My previous watch was the same the same Citizen Blue Angels but the battery...

    NAV the worst GPS ever? Serious routing issues

    Ford, Toyota, Chevy, GMC, Jeep, AND Ram...plus.....Garmin and Rand McNally standalone. I've had weird routing with all of them at one time or another. The good news is that if you don't know exactly how to get to where you are going, and you punch in an address it knows and gives you a...

    Rear Differential Oil Change - Fill Location? - SOLVED

    I know I'm getting too old. In my last limited slip differential the "modifier" additive was whale oil :D. A '78 Chevy Caprice Classic I believe it was.

    USB Ports

    I've got a 2020 Laramie 2500 with bucket seats. 2 ports on the center stack and 2 in the back on the back of the console. All 4 are marked for media and charging. As for the multiple device plug in my owner's manual says this: "Two devices can be plugged in at the same time and both ports will...

    New 2020 RAM with some of the same Uconnect issues my 2019 was lemoned out for this week.

    My 12" has been flawless since I picked it up in April. Hope it stays that way. I have the Ram and 2 Jeep Grand Cherokees with the 8.4". No problems with any of them. A lot of people get thrown a curve ball with the thing about getting your radio presets like you want them and then saving them...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yep, just put this one on my 2020 Laramie 2500 12" screen. $19.99 from Amazon. Went on easy and looks good. Just put it on tonight so we'll see if it helps with the fingerprints....but the important thing is scratch protection...

    Custom Hitch Engineering 101

    Passed a convoy of these southbound in Denver. Anything that had cargo space was filled with old washer/dryers and bicycles. I pulled off in a rest area south of Denver in my motorhome & towed car and a few minutes later that convoy pulled in and filled up all the 18 wheeler spaces. They jumped...

    Cigarette lighter

    I understand them putting one there for folks that want to plug in a dash cam but it was really stupid not to put another one down low on the dash for folks who want to plug in other accessories and don't want a power cord hanging down in front of the dash. Another $1.25 saved.

    Fiat Chrysler Automobiles changing name to Stellantis

    Just saying that name would kill a hard on.

    Color Choice Help - Walnut Brown Metallic

    With 1200 ft. of powder sand dirt driveway I am pretty partial to browns and gold. I ordered my '20 Laramie 2500 in Walnut (RV) Brown and my '19 Jeep Grand Cherokee is also Walnut Brown. Both have the same paint code. My '11 Grand Cherokee was White Gold and my wife's '14 Grand Cherokee is the...

    B&W Stow & Tow Hitch

    Wish I knew if there was a way to adjust the cam up just a tad without breaking something. I think it might be too low since I can see my license plate and the entire bumper.

    Chinese SKS Type 56 Military Surplus

    I'm not big on optics. I figure that anything the might really happen is a <100 meter fight and properly zeroed iron sights do just fine. Optics just make it heavier, take up more space, and easier to damage. As for the weapon there are lots of good ones and expensive ones but, besides my SKS's...

    12.1" Uconnect Backorder?? Battery drain issue

    Well....you rolls the dice and you takes your chances. So far I have not had any problems with mine and I love it...especially being able to split the screen and keep the NAV up with rhe SIRIUSXM.

    Chinese SKS Type 56 Military Surplus

    Just another crazy old Vietnam vet that believes, from experience, that things can go to crap faster than you think. If you don't believe me just ask the Seattle police department.

    12.1" Uconnect Backorder?? Battery drain issue

    If they have it for more than a month (depends on state), I'd look into your lemon law. No relatively new vehicle should be down for a over a month waiting parts.

    Chinese SKS Type 56 Military Surplus

    The most knowledge I have of them is that I was shot at multiple times by them and some AK's in '67-'68. SKS's are some tough, dependable guns and it looks like you've got a milled one instead of stamped so it's a good quality weapon. If you want to clean up the stock I'd go ahead. There are a...

    B&W Stow & Tow Hitch

    I put a B&W Tow & Stow Tri-Ball on my 2500 but even in the stowed position it sets off my backup cam alarm. I don't understand why since a regular 2" drop ball mount DOES NOT set off the backup alarm and it sticks out a least 6 inches farther than the Tow & Stow when in the stow position. I'm...

    Help me pick a new vehicle for my wife please!

    Get her what she likes but don't be afraid of the Grand Cherokee. I started with an '11 Laredo X 4x4....bought a '14 Limited RWD for my wife......sold the '11 last year and bought me a '19 Limited 4x4. Between the 3 of them I've had two problems. The passenger seat belt retractor on the '11...

    Bed Divider Needed for Hauling Smaller Items

    I'm cheap....I just use a pressure treated full cut 2x4 in the slot just to have something to keep things from sliding to the front. If I have something a little taller I hook some bungee cords across the back and looped behind the taller items.,,,,or through the handles of my gas cans to keep...

    Air Break Sound

    1. Okay....just telling you what I heard. I'm 71 years old and drove a air brake motorhome for 10 years and I know what moisture ejectors sound like. That's similar to the sound I heard. 2. All that info you provided is for the 4 corner air suspension. I don't have that. I have the "Auto Level...
