    First oil change

    What has changed to warrant new oil weight recommendations? I doubt it has anything to do with engine longevity. I would not run T6. The weights are too far off. I would run it in a sterndrive mercruiser though :)

    First oil change

    You can certainly use desiel oil of the right weight. It contains a lot off additives that have been removed from gasoline oils. People running jeep 4.0l engines would often use T5 10w30. Any flat tappet i would use rotella including all small engines. The hemi was designed to use 5w30 or...

    First oil change

    I had some chatter on start up with the oem oil and after my first change with M1 and mopar filter. Third change I used Rotella 5w-20 gas truck oil and a wix filter. Much better. 3 months and no chatter even at below freezing temps.

    Snow removal

    OK, I'll come over and watch. Every flake now... any flakes remain you fail. Even under the wipers or you get a ticket.

    Snow removal

    That's crazy. I do not endorse that.

    Snow removal

    If you are only taking 5-10 minutes to remove snow from your vehicle you are not removing every flake. This is illegal. Please turn yourself in to the nearest form of law enforcement. Make sure you are wearing a mask while driving by yourself as well.

    Snow removal

    I use a broom as well without touching the surface. I'm not leaving 10" on there for Christ sake. I get the bulk off. 1"-3" of powder on there will not hurt or blind anybody. Using a long broom will not clean off everything. So I guess I care about people about the same as you.

    Snow removal

    Half my family lives in NH. Nope. Never a ticket since 1942. I'm not saying don't remove snow. But the last 6" of powder in the center of your roof will not ticket you. Ice is a hazard which I clearly stated previously and have been hit. I was just in a white out 2 weeks ago near Mt...

    Snow removal

    . So you are out there after a snow fall, on a ladder (#1 form of injury), removing snow from the entire roof down to the millimeter? No way. You will not get a ticket for leaving an inch or 3 of snow on your roof. That is ridiculous.

    Snow removal

    I live in NY. NO ONE complies with that ill conceived Karen law. No one I have ever met has been fined for such a thing. I will not clean snow off if it's 3 inches or under. The hazard is ice coming in sheets from tractor trailers and smashing windshields. Powder snow is a non issue. And yes...

    Snow removal

    Stick to removing snow from windows only if possible. If there was a large snowfall try to move the snow without touch any painted surfaces or try a leaf blower. Any snow removal tool will scratch the paint, sometimes pretty badly.

    Backup camera and winter

    Same spot, just on vertical surface so gravity works in my favor or have to lens cover shaped in such a way that it does the same thing. Software compensates for lens shape. Can't do crap about frost or road grime. Although I've never had enough grime on there even in winter for it to be an issue.

    Backup camera and winter

    I love how they designed the back up camera to be the lowest point hanging off the upper tailgate lip. Every time the truck is wet I loose visibility.

    Check Engine Light P0441

    Just got truck back from dealership. They replaced the fuel pressure sensor. Part # 52029939AC. They also replaced the filler neck based on my complaint about the gas pump shutting off. TSB RRT 20-092. New part number is 52029841AG. Filled up on the way home and it was delightful. The...

    Check Engine Light P0441

    Light just popped on yesterday. P0441- Evap. Anybody else have this? What was the resolution? I've always had a hard time not getting the gas pump to automatically turn off when the tank isn't full. Some pumps work better than others, but they all shut off before the tank is full- usually...

    1st Oil Change (PUP & Mopar OEM or Mopar SRT Filter???)

    I often had the cold start tick that sounded horrible with oem oil and mo339. I used M1 and a mo339 filter for the first change. It was better, but not much. 3rd and current change i went with shell Rotella gas truck oil and a wix. Much better. No tick now. I usually always use oem filters but...

    Oil Filter shelf empty

    I usually buy oil and oem filters at Walmart. I went there the other day and the popular oil weights were almost gone. Oem filter for the my truck and car were sold out. I ordered the filters from Amazon for within 50 cents of the Walmart price. Time is worth money and I'm not retired...

    Rant about people

    I park out there to avoid tight spaces and other people. The people that would wait 10min to park close as possible to the store are probably not in their right mind anyway. Exceptions are when there is a relatively full lot and someone with an obviously more expensive car or very well taken...

    Da polisher

    I love my DA. <-- Sounds weird. You can make your vehicle look better than new. It's also a huge time saver when applying sealants/waxes and spreads them thin so it's easy to get off. Spread with 2-3, polish with 5-6. Wax with 4ish. Every DA is a little bit different though. I would go with...

    What does "bighorn" actually mean?

    Big Horns kind of run a wide range of options. Ram killed express which is now a stripped down big horn. But even with an express model you could get just about any option. My 2017 had the 5.7, limited slip, 32gal tank, tow package, 20" wheels and led bed lighting. I never understood the...
