    4x4 with no tow hooks?

    I've never needed to be pulled out from being stuck but use tow hooks frequently enough I wouldn't have a truck without them. I've pulled chain link fence out, pulled up fence posts, pulled stumps, use them for tie down points when strapping canoes to the roof, pulled logs out of a slash pile...

    Tire pressure monitors?

    My vehicle information screen shows the tire pressure for each tire. But how does the computer know which tpms transmitter is in which position? Or does it not? When I rotated the tires doesn't the computer loose track of which tire is where? The info screen seems to show the four tires in a...

    Wheel touch up paint

    Is there a paint code for my painted aluminum wheels? 2021 1500 classic. I guess a small chip in the wheel... an exact match won't be all that important. Butt if there is an exact match available I guess that's what I'd use.

    bed hoist/jack

    I bolted a boat trailer winch to a hardwood 4X4 and laid that 4x4 across a couple of rafters. then I used straps to connect the corner hooks of the bed to the boat trailer winch cable. Then I climbed up in the bed and cranked the boat trailer winch to lift the bed, with myself in it, up off...

    E85 Finally Cost Effective?

    I just did a test on my old Dodge Grand Caravan. E85 is $0.40/gal cheaper than regular unleaded here. It wasn't economical for me. Still cheaper to use gasoline. I figured the price of E85 needs to be seventy cents cheaper than gas for it to break even in my car. My engine does run better...

    radio volume goes up and down

    I don't know. I haven't tried changing that setting. That might provide some more information, though.

    radio volume goes up and down

    The volume on my radio goes up and down randomly. This happens both when I'm driving and when I'm just sitting parked. It happens playing FM, streaming music or podcasts, or playing music from a thumb drive plugged into the USP port. I do have the speed variable volume adjustment turned on...

    Does my radio have a cellular connection? - Uconnect3

    I unplugged the satellite antenna on my truck. It was easy to do. I just took off the cover from the passenger side interior A pillar and disconnected the wires. The downside is that the internal compass no longer works. That kind of stinks because I really did like having the built-in...

    What inspired you to buy a RAM truck?

    I bought a new Ram because of a wicked good price on a new truck. The First Responder discount through the FCA fleet sales department is... BIG!. How else could I get a brand new 4WD truck with a v-8 engine for $32,500 plus tax and destination? And, it seems to be a great truck, too. I love...

    IS IT TIME 5.7 TO GET DROPPED ???

    "Rivian's 135-kWh battery (133 usable) provides 314 miles of range, far more than enough for most road trips and off-road adventures. Its ability to charge at 190 kW now, the promised over-the-air upgrade to 300-kW charging, and Rivian's ongoing efforts to install chargers at trailheads...

    Consumer Reports Predicted Reliability for '22 Ram 1500 Classic

    I think it's funny, too, how the Silverado 2500 HD is top of the list and the Silverado 1500 is near the bottom. I have a real hard time believing there is that much difference in the reliability of two trucks with so much in common. Obviously the input data or the evaluation algorithms are...

    IS IT TIME 5.7 TO GET DROPPED ???

    Ain't no substitute for a normally aspirated V8. The torque, the tone, the driveability, the longevity, the simplicity. There's nothing else I'd rather drive. Engineering can sure produce something that has better power and efficiency numbers. But it won't have the same feel or the same...

    UCONNECT UPDATE

    Are you sure about that? My truck doesn't have a cellular antenna. Still I was offered UConnect where I would be able to remotely control the vehicle - remote start, lock/unlock doors and stuff like that. Since I don't have a cellular antennae, just the satellite antenna, I assumed the...

    UCONNECT UPDATE

    Stuff like this is just one of the reasons I disconnected the satellite antenna on my truck.

    Power port and after market center console

    If you ever figure this out, I sure would like to know how you made the change. I'd like my cigar lighter outlet to be unswitched, too.

    how does the anti-spin rear axle work?

    I paid extra for the anti-spin rear differential. But now I'm not so sure it was worth it. With the ABS equipment applying the brakes to a spinning rear tire and transferring power to the other tire, what does the anti-spin rear diff really do for me? In my `99 Silverado I could definitely...

    what adhesive for mounting bracket to windshield?

    The 3M double sided tape is not a bad idea. I tried double sided tape once before but it didn't hold up in the heat. The kind of tape used to hold on trim and emblems might do the job, though. It is much stronger and thicker than the stuff I tried before And, I know I can get it off when...

    what adhesive for mounting bracket to windshield?

    I want to mount a small light bar bracket to the inside of my windshield. Hopefully this is a temporary situation, but it could easily be months before I finally install auxiliary switches, relay, and buy and mount new light fixtures. The light I have now is only suited for inside the vehicle...

    Does my radio have a cellular connection? - Uconnect3

    A little browsing turned up the following: satellite/cell antenna info Looks like my truck has satellite antenna only (no cellular antenna) with the puck on the roof - no shark fin. Disconnecting it seems to be as easy as pulling the inside cover off the passenger side A-pillar and...

    Does my radio have a cellular connection? - Uconnect3

    Thanks. I looked into the SiriusXM Guardian and UConnect 3. Sure looks like the truck has a satellite link of some kind. So, if I could unlock the doors, start the engine, flash the lights, etc. using my cell phone account with SiriusXM, then other people could do the same thing if they could...
