    Truck was stolen while on family trip

    Thanks. I have an extra vehicle in the family to lean on for a bit. I’m not rushing a new vehicle purchase.

    Truck was stolen while on family trip

    Yeah, it was generic suburbia Texas. An area with a bunch of your middle of the road hotels and strip malls with restaurants and whatnot.

    Truck was stolen while on family trip

    Thank you all for the replies. I started researching, and apparently the RAM 1500 is a really easy target. There are many videos and articles discussing this. There are two methods: 1) Simple relay to the fob using something easily obtainable online 2) Use a coat hanger or hook through the...

    Truck was stolen while on family trip

    You know, the guy working the shift when we checked in was a bit odd. And when my wife talked to him and told him he was here when the truck was stolen, he kind of smirked and said he wasn’t there and didn‘t know anything about it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was notifying the ring about prime...

    Truck was stolen while on family trip

    So I was on a spring break road trip with the family, and my very nice and quite perfect low miles 2020 RAM 1500 Limited disappeared from the hotel parking lot in Webster, TX just SE of Houston. The plan was to visit the NASA Space Center there. We filed a police report with the Webster PD and...

    how much oil does your disposal place allow at one time?

    Are those places taking the filters too? I had tried to take oil and filters to my local Firestone, and while they would take the oil, they wanted to charge me to take the filter. I go a different place now and they take both.

    Clay Mitt's

    Clay will create minor marring to the finish, so only clay if needed and follow up with a good polish. Then put down whatever you fancy if you want protection.

    Duramax 3.0L oil consumption while driving with low RPMs and high power output

    Interesting news, but apparently you can no longer have the LZ0 with the max tow trailering package (NTH). I wonder if GM is seeing these problems with higher loads on the engine...

    Recommend a combo Leaf Blower & Vacuum

    I wouldn’t waste your money. Get a powerful blower and blow the stuff onto a large tarp that you can then use to transport the leaves to the compost heap. My cordless Milwaukee is good for driveway and sidewalk, but to get live oak leaves off of my lawn, I need my gas backpack unit.

    Jacking up my pickup to do brakes

    With a BoF you can pretty much put stuff wherever on the rails. I will often jack and use stands as a a safety vs resting on the stands. Just depends what I’m working on.

    Am I the only one who can make a mess changing oil?

    I have learned. I use a huge radiator drain pan now. And I always lay down a tarp for whatever mess might happen.

    Is Moper Red coolant just Dexclone?

    What? It doesn’t use the purple OAT? My 2020 1500 runs this.

    Guy has a mobil clutch replacement business in the UK

    Yeah, he has a solid work ethic. Amazing how some cars are easy and some a royal PITA with a bunch of dismantling from above.

    PSA - AMEX Premium Rental Car Protection

    I always document the condition of my rentals inside and out at pickup and drop off to avoid them doing this. And some damage is just wear and tear. I would think paint chips and such are unavoidable wear and tear.

    Paint Damage

    I live in a pollen and allergy capitol and I don’t think pollen can do damage like that to paint. Even if it did it would be wear and tear like those swirls I see. Just polish and move on. Those faded areas resemble ones from exposure to bird droppings. Try cleaning with alcohol and leave to...

    There are also special LED bulbs designed not to interfere. I use them without fault.

    Programmable garage door opener help needed

    Sorry, I see now that you already answered that above. Obvious ask, but have you tried pulling power on the opener for a few moments? I know you don't think the opener is the issue but it is easy enough.
