When it's cold,<35ºF/2ºC, I let it run until the fast idle starts simmering down. I turn on my aftermarket seat heater on to hi when I exit the truck in cold weather. When I start it from the app, the seat is already getting warm. I also turn the passenger side on hi when picking up pizza! 🍕

The attitude over at Stellantis has become a lot more hostile over the past few decades. They used to put DODGE on the front of their trucks, to let pedestrians know to get out of the way, Then they changed it to RAM to signify that you have no hope.

I think they look fine- no galling or evidence of stripping, as long as the other ones look similar to that closeup stud you should be good to go.

about 2011- last of the 4G Rangers pushrod V6 and a 6-speed auto or 5 speed manual.

You don't have to look either way. Cars must yield to pedestrians- it's the law!

Beautiful Old World architecture - a stark contrast to the Aztec ruins all around the Southwest.

A little parking lot tap will bend the ears in slightly. I don't think it's out of alignment. look at how the radius sharpens at that brown streak compared to the right side.

Automakers, including Ford, are contemplating going to a 48V system to cope with the parasitic draw from all of the devices and modules that have memories that must be kept powered.

It's a crapshoot. I buy EWs if it is a reasonable price for the covered items and term. I don't get them on electronics, as if they go out, it's usually right away, or they'll run forever, like my 2009 Mac desktop*. Motorcycles I don't because they can be pretty expensive (Suzuki), and I can do...

They usually(!) don't react violently unless threatened. I don't know where that was recorded, but snow on the ground indicates that it was probably after their rut (mid-late Sep-early Oct). We had a unique opportunity to ride along with Chad Kremer, owner of Kremer Buffalo Custer, SD, while...

On our 2024 trip to Custer St Park, SD: They like the calcium and salts from the road dust:

E-locker is slightly better in a modern truck than not. Slightly, because today there is traction control which performs the same function as old school Positraction, plus it will decrease power overall in the case of a spinning wheel. But with an e-locker, you can apply more power to the rear...

Crab legs, homemade steak bites, chicken wings, couple varieties of pasta salads and a delectable chocolate silk pie that our grandniece's boyfriend made- he's 18. The crab legs cost nearly double what they were last year, and not as good.

Merry Christmas and a special blessing to those who have lost loved ones this year, or facing a difficult time in their lives.
