What did you do to your Ram today???

[TBEVO]

I’ve been interested in those wheels and haven’t been able to find a clear picture of them with stock suspension until now. Looks great, tempting me even more now

Yeah. Just have to keep in mind these people generally think a piston is an NBA player from Detroit and have no clue how lithium-ion batteries are made.

Haha or what one does to the watershed when it gets cracked open on the highway.

Around the time my mom rented a VHS when we had a Beta...

hahaha been there. I remember a scene in a show i was watching recently that had a 9 yr old kid with his uncle and the uncle has a case of old CDs and the kid goes "what are those?" and he says "this is how your dad and i used to listen to music." and the kid goes "oh wait, my mom told me about these... they're called.......... ipods?" it was a great setup to an even harder kick in my age than i was expecting... man i'm old.

No, first time is a pia, getting the 'glove box out of the way, sucks. Odd my auto correct has a dirtier mind than me while typing this . Google it, watch the video, 'no it isn't going to break '

Reminds me, I also rotated my wheels this weekend. My back tires were significantly more worn out than my fronts were.

I got new wheels a little over a year ago and I had told them to rotate my tires as they swapped wheels... well they didn't and I just noticed about 2 weeks ago. Fail on my part too.

I do rotation every 5k as a rule.

Yeah, I am still a 5k synth oil, tires blow out filters, grease anything I can, give it a good hard stare,....guy....wow....that got windy,....

 

[Scram1500]

It's been many moons since my last rotation. Is rearward cross still an acceptable practice?

And think about when the last time was you heard "land line" or better yet "cordless phone" haha Probly standing in line at a Blockbuster i bet.

Hey! I have a land line (and a cell phone) and in fact my land line is hooked up to a cordless phone!
No Blockbuster but I regularly get DVD's from my local library.
When wireless is dead and no more 'streaming' I will still be able to make phone calls and watch videos.

Ok, so I did away from 'land' almost 20 years ago, then got one back for requested fax (once, one customer, one sheet, one contract, one payday.....di##), kept it for about 5 years until my smart half asked "why is cable so freaking expensive? ", been gone again for about 5 years

Whatcha the YouTube videos. I found it wasn't that hard to do. Took about 10 minutes in mine.

How does it sound volume wise? Something neighbors (urban....since it looks like you aren't so urban) might get pissy about? Figure this very well might be my last ICE truck so considering since I have never had a nice exhaust I want this one and been eyeballing the AWE. Not expecting them all to share yours (and my smiles) but don't want to the be all scowly either

Volume isn't bad I don't think. That being said, you are right, I'm outside the city limits. My neighbor has an older Chevrolet truck that I think is louder. He may be running straight pipe on his, not sure. I would say it's not obnoxiously loud but you know it's aftermarket. I like that it's pretty quiet in the cab when cruising or at idle.

Most of the modern "land lines" aren't real land lines anymore. Most houses built within the last 10-15 years don't even have phones lines/jacks ran in them. My current neighborhood doesn't even have true analog land line service. If you want a house phone line, it comes through your cable modem, and if power goes out, unless you have a generator or battery back up, you lose your phone

Ditched my land line about 25 years ago, after a roommate decided to dial up a bunch of porn sites, as in dial into with a modem (we had internet). He racked up about $400 in a month, yanked that plug. Had just got Nextel for work at the time, so I didn't need the land line anymore.

Yeah we cut the cord in like 2011 and never looked back. our cable company has a monopoly here so we only have them for interwebs service, but i was paying $250/month for a phone i never touched and the literal 2 channels i watch... scifi and hockey hahaha.

And on the faxes... haha every time like a loan company or insurance company asks me to fax them something i'm like "ok, let me understand this correctly... you want me to invent time travel... go back to 1997 and FAX you a copy of this PDF... is that right?" and they always say "yes" and they don't laugh.

Easy to fax from your phone. There is an app called Genius Scan. Uses the camera in your phone to take pictures and converts them to PDF files. Then you can "share" a variety of ways. One of those options being fax. I have "faxed" several documents this way. And the app is free, at least on Android it is

I just looked up Genius Scan and it's actually the Genius Fax app that is used to fax a document. It's says it's .39c per page to fax. Not free, but cheaper than Staples.

Thanks. I live in a smaller city in which the old people complain about everything anyway (it is actually amazing too how many invisible stop signs there are in this town that only they can see) and I was taking my daughter to school this morning shortly before 8 and a straight piped truck accelerated up the hill after turning off an adjacent road and the ghost car in front of me and subsequently right beside them did nothing. Even after blasting it again a second time after a change of lights half way up the hill. That in addition to my neighbor having a Harley I made up my mind. To to hell with 'em all... I just ordered.

Found a place in Canada for 1645 for the black tips...where if I convert it back to US would be $1299 US for it...which is way low compared to everywhere else I have actually managed to find it in this retail wasteland.
