    Replacement Lug Nuts

    Costco said the same, altho they really wanted an upsell at the time, one yr old. I have no idea how anyone could pay $12 per nut; that's ridiculous. Shop around.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    The upgrades from your crappy situation also likely cost the insurance co' less than OEM, so they probably say sure for that reason. I like the idea of strength, but I got etorque already cutting into payload, that I wish I never ordered, so I probably am looking for a slimmer, simpler design. I...

    Cost of living OT posts from What did you do to your Ram today???

    Apparently political. A 5th grader could see that the quote was because all 5 states listed are coastal states. Politics in mcds prices? Would've got more respect if you left politics out of it. Back on topic...

    Cost of living OT posts from What did you do to your Ram today???

    We hit a mcds for a lite breakfast there one time before covid and for a family of 5 it was $75!!! If we go back as a couple, we'll definitely check the airbnbs.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    Gotta bring this to the top again. I backed into a Trax at 1mph. Scratched his plastic front bumper, but folded and dented my bumper and dented box in 2 spots. So much for Fed 5mph bumpers. I am looking for a little stiffer tube or plate bumper that won't fold against a plastic car, but doesn't...

    18s or 20s on Rebel?

    Excepting boogielander 😄 (y) , consider the tire choices of 18 and 20. The majority of 275/60R20" are C, P, or SL range tires, but only a couple generals in 275/70R18, the rest being E range. E range ride stiffer and cut mpg, but may tow better and live longer in rocky terrain.

    Tread Wear Opinion

    Make sure the 8/16" is not on passenger rear. I might be tempted to run the 13/16 pass rear and 8/16 driver rear, and swap sides as needed to burn up those 2, then replace 2. Rotate the fronts back then, they'll need it. This all assumes long term ownership. Obviously assumes no 4wd modes on...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I didn't watch the video yet, but is the pump at the same level in the 33 gal tank? I would want that lower also so I knew I could get the whole tank.

    Anyone running GM wheels on their Ram? Any pics to share?

    This came up as well in a previous thread, and I thought the difference was about the thickness of 3 sheets of paper. Most people don’t use hub rings on lug centric wheels, but some people don’t understand yet. At least a half inch spacer for a GM wheel would be a good idea, as some Ram wheel...

    Anyone running GM wheels on their Ram? Any pics to share?

    Uh, aren't ours typically 19? So by my math, about 5/16"?

    Anyone running GM wheels on their Ram? Any pics to share?

    I also asked this question awhile back. It's going to take someone going on a GM forum and getting the offset numbers. I've been too lazy, but it does significantly open up the craigslist/facebook marketplace used selection. I wonder if the Hollander book or Discount Tire etc would have OEM...

    New Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's on my Longhorn.

    Wow, what a weight difference! I also look for weight, but I've never seen this spread much before. We may complain of trailer sway, but of course the SL tire is rated for 5300+lbs on the rear axle, when the axle itself is rated at 4100lbs. At full axle load, the tire is not affected at all by...

    Travel trailer towing with a half ton

    Not trying to knock on you, but you stopped in the wrong spot on the scales, and didn't get enough info on trailer and rear axle weights. If you do try again, watch where you stop and look for the joints in the scale and get an axle in each section. Just an FYI so other people may take note of this.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    80,001+ miles?

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    Also check down stairs in the 4th gen sub forums. HSKR's answer is still correct, just check for any 4th gen nuances.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    You'd think some very savvy header co' would've had this going years ago for all the warped and cracked Ram and Chevy crap out there. Coulda been cleanin' up.

    Please post your Tire and Loading sticker

    The PSI is also tire dependent, which changes with trim and even years, so that obviously is what those tires on that GVWR vehicle require. OEM works in conjunction with tire mfrs to determine the proper PSI, just ask Firestone! You ought to see the Rebel and TRX PSI. I go lower than my sticker...

    RAM app no remote start

    This probably doesn't help with your question, but I got it negotiated into the new car price for free, so when it came in, it just went to the service dept. Yes, they are OEM, and the mechanic didn't know if the receiver would be present or not, especially on a tradesman, but it was, so it was...
