    PW redesign wishlist

    Pass. Worse approach angle and kind of Jay Leno-esque profile don't do it for me, personally.

    New convert to Ram with a stupid question

    Or just roll them and deposit them at your bank, assuming you have a local branch.

    Did the power rams have a hood ornament?

    My '87 1/2 ton did.

    New convert to Ram with a stupid question

    $1 coins would be my guess, though it's just a guess.

    They have at least done market research / consumer focus group studies on it. No idea if there's any progression beyond that.

    PW redesign wishlist

    Only thing I'd like my 75A doesn't have is a telescoping steering wheel and a larger fuel tank.

    Feds to require automatic braking by 2029

    I drove a '75 Blazer for most of my high school years, blew the motor just before I went to the Army, and bought a Camaro because it's pretty much mandatory for a junior enlisted guy to have a car that eats half his pay. :D Bought a '71 Scout for bad weather. If you want to be absolutely...

    Feds to require automatic braking by 2029

    Yes, and it's largely my generation's fault. Gen Xers with all the kids out of the house, disposable income, an attitude that largely involves '**** it, I could be dead tomorrow', and a strong sense of nostalgia for the truck our dad or granddad drove back in them good ol' days.

    Feds to require automatic braking by 2029

    Most vehicles use sonar. The little discs on your bumpers emit a certain soundwave and wait for it to bounce back, then use that time to calculate the distance of whatever the sound wave bounced off of. Radar and lidar are also used but tend to be on more expensive vehicles as they are much...

    My pretty bad 2018 RAM 1500 Hemi experience, help/advice needed on what to do next

    More "peace of mind" from a warranty and why I continue to remind people that self insuring with money in the bank is actual peace of mind. OP, Mopar isn't going to buy out a 5 year old truck. Nobody in this board can help you get it done faster, aside from Ramcares nobody is here officially...

    The Last of our Laramies (4x4 Hemis '24) for $15k-$17k off MSRP

    Solid deal for anyone in the market for sure. Maybe the last of the hemi 1/2 tons unless they surprise us with a new TRX at some point... Can I ask why every CJDR dealership has that dinging popup fake salesman message thing in the bottom right hand corner now? I have to mute the website...

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    It's not either/or as both play their own role. Just like some McDonald's are better than McDonald's but none are going to be a Ruth Chris in levels of service or attention. Corporate culture, including how dealerships are rewarded, vary.

    Should I touch a high mileage 4.7L?

    What's the price? How much money/time are you willing to dump in to it? What's the use scenarios? Anything that matters if the truck grenades?

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Saturn did have fixed prices, which was a result of marketing research that didn't go far enough. A huge percentage of people ranked 'haggling' as one of the worst parts of the car buying experience. What GM missed was the follow-up question. Do you think you can get a good deal without...

    Likely better lubricants and filters as well. I remember getting my first 6 speed manual and being amazed that the car was basically idling at 65mph.
