    Had an oopsie. Dented rear bumper Need suggestions

    Don’t do anything for a month. Make a decision after your emotions settle. You may find you no longer care about it or even notice it. You might even get a few more dings that supersede this one.

    Retrax install price

    Takes at least 32 minutes. How dare you sir. Helping a buddy install one today and it’s costing him a few minutes afterwards helping me install a prefab awning over my basement door. Win win.

    Towing a 27rks with my 2019 ram

    I just went thru this with a 2600RB. My truck could pull it but it shouldn’t have. I did everything and the trailer still pushed the truck around too much for my comfort level. I just took ownership of a new super duty and it’s night and day better. 1500’s just aren’t properly up to the task...

    Rebel Questions: Air Suspension or stock? 3.6L or 5.7?

    I would also like to make 1 additional comment about 4x4, specifically auto. When it’s wet or you are on a gravel to pavement transition with heavy cross traffic it comes in real handy. Without 4 auto, you wait or spin. Push auto and floor it and it hooks up and flat out goes. Kinda a prick...

    Rebel Questions: Air Suspension or stock? 3.6L or 5.7?

    Just my personal opinion here, but it sounds like you are getting the wrong vehicle. Buying a great big vehicle and worrying about mpg? Buying a towing vehicle and opting for a smaller engine? Buying an off-road capable vehicle and cutting it off at the knees and not getting 4x4? Maybe you...

    A/C Performance

    Well, you could be like me and have it approved and waiting on parts for a year. Dealership never called me and i checked with them several times and finally just gave up. F350 is scheduled to be built next week. Fingers crossed. I’ve been waiting months. Hoping i don’t get bumped.

    Im new to this. Looking for a new Ram 1500 as my previous Ram 1500 was totaled in a head on collision. Im looking for a limited or loaded Laramie

    Have you tried contacting a ram dealer? I hear they sell them and on many occasions will order you one.

    Toy Haauler towing question

    lol, if it were only that easy. We moved everything forward. It was the lowering of the ball that finally did the trick. Was a combination of many factors as usual. Big pain in the but to work out especially while traveling. We stopped and adjusted so many times. It was nuts.

    Towed First Time Today

    I had the same problem towing 6500lb trailer and found many things helped. 1) Hellwig sway bar on the stiffest setting 2) Cooper XLT AT3 tires aired to between 60-80lbs depending on your tolerance and feel. 3) I had originally tried a Recurve R3 1000lb hitch and it was woefully inadequate. I...

    Toy Haauler towing question

    The hitch will shift a little weight back to the trailer, but not much. You typically "need" 10-12% of your trailer weight on the tongue. No matter how you slice it, if your trailer weighs 8000lbs, you need at least 800 on the tongue or else you will get sway or the tail wagging the dog. The...

    Toy Haauler towing question

    I am towing a grand design with similar weights. Fortunately, there’s only 3 of us and the other 2 are light females. I had a major issue with the tail wagging the dog starting at 55mph. I was using a recurve r3 hitch 1000lb and upgraded to and 1200lb equalizer and all issues resolved. Pulls...

    Check your doors for alignment. Quality Control

    Hard enough to get some movement. I suspect any resistance you are encountering might be dried paint or something else causing a little bonding. I wouldn't go nuts on it, but a healthy whack won't hurt anything. If you move it too far, you can just whack it back the other way. It's all pretty...

    Ticking sound after sitting for 2 weeks

    Video / Audio evidence should be sufficient.

    Check your doors for alignment. Quality Control

    You do realize my statement you quoted is factual? Not sure what your goal is in quoting me. If it was to get on my ignore list, mission accomplished.

    Freaking Leather Dash Problems

    …and have the dealer cover the taxes. Dealer gets no good grace unless you are made completely whole.

    How to remove my head print from headrest

    This is exactly why I don't purchase used vehicles. If you can't get it out, I'd suggest moving your head around to different positions to grime up the remainder of the clean areas to match.

    Pros And Cons Of Waxing A New Ram

    I think there might be some confusion between waxing and polishing. Wax is a protectant. Polishing takes off a layer of clear. Anyone with a buffer and some polish can ruin any painting job fast. Random orbital = good

    Upgrade 2019 RAM 1500 Infotainment to Uconnect 5

    No and no. Well, technically no and yes. You can upgrade to the new version by trading in for a 22. It’s technically an upgrade semantically.
