What did you do to your Ram today???

interesting because when i called years ago the guy had perfect english lol
just do it on the website while on company time. tell them you want the lowest possible rate because you don't use it enough.
that's how i extended mine annually at like $50 for 12 months since 2017.

just tell them you have a price in your head and if they can't match it or get close to it then you will just stick with Spotify.
Last time I tried to negotiate with a representative about price they would t work with me and were trying to get me to select some weird plan I didn't want in order to get the "lowest" available rate, which was $7.99 a month. I told them I will pass and to just let the account lapse. Not even a week after my subscription expires I got an email allowing me to renew for $4.99 a month(plus fees) and as long as I set up auto renew it would renew every year at the same rate. Last December was the test, and it auto renewed at the same rate as before. No more negotiations.

oh yeah that works too.
i renew annually because i do have spotify and i don't really need to have it. with the GFC on top of the shark fin the reception is affected when I'm in the forest anyways lol
 
Even a buck a month is not a low enough price. I'll listen to the radio or all the music I have on my phone.

My lady does let it lapse until it is a buck a month. After several cycles, she is now getting repeats of the comedy channels. she may drop it at some point. We also have a lot of canyons and forests, so service drops out which is a separate annoyance. The radio and our phones do not have this problem.
hahaha i get what you mean.
i use XM for new music and I have like 10 channels I cycle through.
the only time I got bored of it was last year when I went up north on that 15k miles road trip for 50 days straight lol
i switched over to podcasts on spotify by end of week 1... and that's only because I spent 6+ hours a day driving and the GFC kinda blocks the reception a bit especially when in canyons and forests. Oh... and also when the latitude is too far north too lol
 
Does the Teflon scrubber help with imbedded stuff you would normally clay bar?

Yes exactly. I mainly use it around the fender flares and areas where road spray is down on the bottom end. I also use it on the glass. I only do this once a year. Any other time I decided to detail like this gets a clay bar. I don't think I'd use the teflon scrubber on a darker paint though. While it's technically safe to, it could cause swirls if a bunch of crap gets caught in the sponge inside. But being the first time this truck has ever gotten fallout removed from it, it definitely needed something a bit more abrasive. I could feel the difference instantly as I was detailing. Plus, the iron and fallout remove turns all the crap purple, so the truck was dripping purple all over the place lol. So tomorrow it's getting a coat of 303 spray wax. Nothing serious, but enough to help.
 
Put these emblem stickers on the Widow this past week and I’m still not sure I like them. Got these at Reflective Concepts online and they’re pretty cool. My reservations about it is the fact I have a Night edition Ram and do I want color added? I didn’t realize it but the “eTorque” on the hood coincidentally was the same color I picked. Just don’t know. What do y’all think?

I've been renewing my SiriusXM subscription at $60/year ($5/mo). But ever since I bought my 2017 VW Tiguan 6 months ago, I've been getting junk mail to renew for $3/mo. But I don't need subscriptions in two vehicles.

I think having it tie in with the blue eTorque looks good.

If you were to change the ones you put on, I would want to change the blue eTorque to match.

I get the same sort of deal up here in 🇨🇦. $6.49 a month (CAD of course). I told them I’m not paying when I only get a signal 1/2 the time I use it.
I live in the mountains and hills of BC. My truck has the XM radio as it was built in Mexico. The XM satellites are further down south in sky than the Sirius satellites which are more north. I never had a problem with previous trucks that had the Sirius radio before Sirius and XM joined together.
My signal is constantly interrupted by trees and mountains/hills. If a leaf falls I can lose signal. I do have to renew yearly before the anniversary date to keep the deal.

And that’s why……….. THE U.S.A. Rules!!! 😂

you can cancel the more expensive one, make a new account for the $3 one, and then transfer it over hahaha

ah ha! that explained why I had next to zero signal when I passed through your hood in BC last year.
i figured "North America" should cover Canada too lol
 
I cancelled sirius XM after over 15 years of using it. Finally got tired of having to renew it ever year and them automatically increasing the price on me. I honestly dont miss it. I just plug in my phone now and listen to a podcast or apple music. I had to purge some of my subscriptions. Ive been getting a mailed letter from Sirius XM every few days harassing me and finally had to login to my account and turn off all communications with them.
 
It was my turn to replace a cracked manifold. I noticed the telltale ticking from the passenger-side exhaust manifold at around 43k. I ordered the driver/passenger set from BD Diesel last November, but didn't receive them until January and a busy spring left them sitting on the shelf. I finally got around to doing the passenger side. Fortunately, there weren't any broken bolts so it went on smoothly. Now I remember what my truck is supposed to sound like. :D

43K? It's not covered under warranty?
