Had the same issue. I bought some gopher wire people put in their gardens, then cut and molded a piece to fit around the intake tube. Haven’t had the issue since then. I’ve definitely had mice in the truck again but not in the air Intake lol

If it were me, I’d definitely take it in. When it comes to engines or transmissions, I don’t trust myself enough to start messing with stuff. Idk what forscan enables you to do but I wouldn’t even want to do that in fear of messing something up worse. Granted, my wife’s truck was still under...

I have one on each side of the bed. They’re cool and hold what I need them to BUT they can be a hassle if you have a bed cover or keep anything in the bed when you need access to them. I don’t have to get into them often so it’s not a big deal for me but when I do, it’s a process… Have to unroll...

Spoke too soon… Dealership still has her truck. Apparently they didn’t have all the parts in stock and their tech had a family emergency, so it got pushed back another day. In the meantime, they gave her a loaner to drive. 2025 maverick tremor. Looks cool except for the goofy paint job and gold...

Well that was easy… Dealership called and said the truck will be ready to pick up tomorrow afternoon. All the parts needed for the repair were in stock, so they didn’t have to order anything. They’re just finishing up the rebuild and they’ll take it for a test drive tomorrow to make sure...

I thought about it but it’s not a huge deal. She doesn’t really have anywhere to be anyway so it’s all good, I just worry about her not having a vehicle if she needs it for some reason. Her sister lives 10 mins away so she can always get a ride if she needs to. Or walk 😂

Dropped the wife’s truck off at the dealership yesterday to have the transmission checked out. After driving it a couple weeks ago, I noticed a harsh downshift from 4 to 3. Luckily I called right away and got it scheduled for service, her warranty expires at the end of the month. Tech at the...

That’s crazy for spark plugs… BUT as we all know, dealership prices for parts and labor are usually ridiculous. Oddly enough, when I had the trans and differential fluid done on my truck, the dealership was actually less expensive than several local shops quoted me. I was shocked! I almost...

My vote goes to Falken Wildpeak AT4. BY FAR the best wet weather/snow tires I’ve ever had on any vehicles I’ve driven. I have them on both mine and the wife’s Ranger. Neither of us have had to use chains since I put these tires on our trucks. Yes, they’re 3 peak rated. Where we live, we easily...

This might sound crazy but hear me out… Get some of that tinting film used for smoking headlights and put some on the screen? Might work 🤷‍♂️

Most auto stores like oreilly or auto zone do resurfacing for $25-30 per rotor. I definitely wouldn’t do it myself but I’m sure it can be done… They’ll do a free inspection to measure them and see if they’re warped/need to be resurfaced. Downside is you gotta have the rotors off the truck to...

First guess would be the rotors are warped? The weight shifting forward when driving downhill could be just enough for you to feel it when you otherwise wouldn’t. That would be the first place I’d check. (I’m sure you already know this but I’m gonna say it anyway… Don’t ride your brakes going...

Change your trans fluid & filter regularly and don’t overwork the transmission. As far as updates or anything outside of normal maintenance, not sure. I changed my fluid right around 50-55k miles. Cost about $1200 for the dealership to do a fluid change/flush, filter replacement, and...

Definitely aliens… 👽

Spark plugs, oil change, rotate tires, replace windshield wipers, top off washer fluid, replace or fix the leather boot that covers the parking brake. Just general maintenance. I really need to deep clean the interior too… Damn dogs make a mess every time we take them anywhere lol

I test drove a Tacoma when I was shopping around before I went with the Ranger. I know Toyota is all hyped up but I wasn’t really impressed with it. The one I tested (can’t remember what year it was) drove like crap. Suspension was stiffer than 2x4 lumber and the interior felt and looked kind...

I drove the wife’s truck this weekend and noticed a hard downshift from 4 to 3 every time I came to a stop. When we got hers, we bought the extended warranty and it’s covered up to 100k miles. Currently at 45k. We’re gonna make an appointment with the dealership and get it repaired/replaced but...

Last Halloween we’ll have together before the baby’s here… Costco trip earlier today, now we’re hanging out at home watching movies. Figured we’d make the most of not doing anything while we still can! Once the little gremlin is here, it’ll be full throttle for the next 18 years! Lol Looking...

Agree. My stepdad and brother are diehard Chevy guys. My brother has blown up 2 engines (granted, he drives with a lead foot) and my stepdad is constantly having issues with his Silverado. He says it’s because he doesn’t drive it that often… No, it’s because it’s a Chevy! Lol it’s only a few...

I’d say made, not makes. One of my buddies is a mechanic at a dealership, he said 95% of the trucks he works on are new Rams. Apparently they have all sorts of issues. He said he wouldn’t own one if you paid him to drive it lol. Every make and model has their issues but Ram seems to be the worst...
