    New wheels (0) offset question

    Another vote for bronze. Friends don’t let friends get black wheels. Seriously, your opinion obviously trumps ours, but to me, contrast between tires and wheels is much more attractive. Below are my platinum Fuel Blitz 18” +1 with Yokohama Geolandar X-AT LT295/70R18, on about a 2” lift. The...

    Start/Stop Feature & EPA Action

    I’m also in the south. Depending on what temp you have your AC set at, then engine won’t turn off if the cabin is hot. But yeah, that’s the only thing mildly annoying about it. I still like it overall, and it doesn’t have the jerky feeling of other, non-mild hybrid systems.

    Start/Stop Feature & EPA Action

    I don’t understand the hate for Ram’s start/stop. I do agree that it sucks in many vehicles. But eTorque works, and shaves a lot of idle hours off my engine. My take is, people who had bad experiences with other systems default to hating it in the Ram. <stephencrowder.jpg> Now, if my generator...

    Ram Delays 1500 Ramcharger and REV Pickups Again

    Just kill the REV already. Until there's a MAJOR battery breakthrough, full-size electric trucks are not viable. They require massive batteries to have decent range, and the motors have to haul all that weight around, so efficiency goes down as range goes up. Those who value efficiency shouldn't...

    115v output

    Short answer is no, short of replacing the inverter. Stock inverter is modified sine wave. But you’re better off using a DC-DC converter to charge a power station. I’ve been using the Etaker F2000, but there are other choices such as the Etaker F1000/F1000 Pro, Bluetti Charger 1, EcoFlow...

    Differences between Retrax, GatorTrax, and Radco covers?

    I never had any leaks from the slats of my two Retrax Pro XR covers (sold the first when I went from a 5’7” to 6’4”). Where you’re most likely to get leaks on any cover except a piano-style one piece, is the tailgate. That’s not the cover to blame, and can be remedied with foam sealing...

    Shooting Range at your HOUSE?!?!?!?

    There’s a mansion near me—their garage is bigger than my house—and the owners have an indoor shooting range. I don’t know them, so I’ve never seen it myself, but my old neighbors know them and say it’s even more impressive than their bowling alley. I don’t have any of that. But I do have a...

    12" SCREEN THEFT UP RISE

    That's why my next Ram will be the Chameleon XLE edition. It's a truck that tells the world I'm smart.

    Would You Consider One?

    I’m skeptical, especially that it’ll stay under $20K, but yeah, I’d consider it as a third vehicle (after my wife’s CUV and my Ram). And honestly, I’d probably drive it more than my Ram, for quick trips to the store, and what not. A small, cheap EV with 150-ish mile range makes more sense than...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Those with the LED CHMSL (third brake light with the camera), have you found a replacement gasket? If not, I guess I'll go the weather seal route.

    2021 Ram 1500 Bed Rack

    I’m selling my Xtrusion Overland bed rack and Retrax Pro XR cover if anyone is interested in cover and rack combo. Atlanta area. These are for a 6’4” bed, which I realize is a rare combo. (The rack and even cover can bed adapted to other trucks with parts from their respective manufacturers).

    Funny Memes and Funny Pictures 2.0 - NO POLITICS Find the other thread

    One point. I never owned an encyclopedia (but used them many times). Edit: Unless an encyclopedia on CD-ROM counts.
