What did you do to your Ram today???

If I had a place for a tire machines I'd definitely have been looking for one. I know how to use them.

These guys actually have me thinking to myself, "maybe you can actually change tires yourself! Maybe you should give it a try! Let's see what's on marketplace...".

Sigh....

The manual NoMar has a learning curve.


Be suspicious when "Comments are turned off" in the YouTube video

I'm in manual mode:

Purchased used after MC shop said "2 weeks to put new tires on" and I had them off the MC already.

Can also purchase a trailer hitch set up to mount to.

I looked hard at No Mar before buying my first Atlas.

Fully setup and ready to go, the Atlas was only something like $400 more. It was been WELL worth it, to me. I've had one since around 2006. Over that amount of time, the extra $400 is just nothing. The convenience of the power turn table and power bead breaker is SO nice.

I've never had a need for mobile tire changing to do myself. At the racetrack, the race tire guys do the tire changes for me (back when I was racing). For street and dirt bikes, I make sure my tires are good before I leave home. No reason to need to change them when I'm away from home.
 
Stopped by the dealer to get two recalls done. Safety recall 37A reflash for etq and ZB8 tailgate . Took about 45mins and I was out the door. Funny thing is. The auto start stop bottom. It would never light when in the off position like majority of our trucks. Well it now lights up after the flash.

I have both of these to do and have not done it.
 
Finally found a few minutes to install the oil catch can I got from UnloosedChewtoy. Also added a new Wix air filter while I was there.

Gave it a bath and a decent detail, removed the 4x4 North sticker on the bedside and swapped out my Toyo AT3's for a set of Falken Wildpeak RT01 285/55/22 and a new set of Laramie replicas in gloss black.
The Toyo's weren't really a true 33 inch tire, more like 32.5. The Falken's are about 34.3 inches tall, but not as wide. Yet, i still had to trim the inside of my mud flap due to the taller tire. Liking the stance now, but this is my first set of black wheels on any vehicle, so it will take some getting used to. But, after cleaniing it all day, I'm liking the clean bed side and the blacked out look is slowly growing on me.

Left my 3/8" Bora Spacers. May not need them as they clear the UCA alot now bit I'll run with them for a little bit.
Tires aren't so loud, no more than the Toyo's. Ride is better with the bigger sidewall but haven't driven much yet. Will see how it rides during my trek to work.

So what was the fix?? Mine just did this for the 2nd time. Last time it was in the dealer for 2 weeks they replaced the transmission valve body. And here we are 3 months later and it’s doing all the same stuff again as you described.

They did a flash I guess and it’s working so far
 
Just dropped off Skittle for the 4th time to get the sunshade and sunroof fixed......

4th time is the charm? Who knows...
 
Just did a 400-mile round trip with Skittle yesterday and averaged 19.3 mpg which I am pretty happy with considering i was driving 80 or faster. The truck was also loaded with all the camping gear, and my family has to pack the entire house for a 4 day camping trip.....

Isn't that just the most annoying thing??

The house is literally empty when we go camping.....and we end up using maybe 15% of all the crap they made me jig-saw into the truck/trailer.

It is very annoying! I used to camp for a few days and I could pack everything in the trunk of my Valiant without issue. I would take firewood, tent, chairs and food without issue.

Now when we camp, 3 cots, 1 queen cot with air mattress, 4 large suitcases, chairs, 2 folding benches, tables, tent(s), ironing board, iron, 2 plastic dressers, 2 mobile wardrobes and many many plastic bags with pillows, blankets, etc! Its total insanity! I was packing up the truck to take them and I joking asked if she was moving out :ROFLMAO: that comment did not go over well:p:p

I feel your pain. If I was camping by myself I would be happy with a sleeping bag under the stars. Bring my wife and half the house goes along.😆

Ok so I forgot about the large duffle bag with shoes! I could not count how many they had...every trip I go on, I have 1 maybe 2(work conference) pairs of shoes. I don't even try to understand, I just go with it.

This reminds me of a story from many years ago, we took a family trip to Vegas and there was 7 of us cammed in a Dodge Journey:oops: so we had to put luggage on the roof, so I was very, very intentional that we have to pack lite, as there is just not enough space. So we are packing to leave Vegas and we are trying to fit everything and I opened up a suitcase to see if there was room, it was filled with shoes that she did not wear, as she spent the entire trip in flip-flops......I almost had a coming to Jesus moment....
