Apparently today, it will be announced that Ram will be providing a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty on the Ram line for 2026. This will be non-transferrable, for the original owner only. Will apply to leases and business owners, but not for fleet purchases. Claims that this is...

Yesterday, I had my third (bicycle) flat tire out on the road, in 17,869 miles. It was a drywall screw, and the tire was flat (700x25)in about a half a second. I live on the edge of town, and I was a little over 3 miles from home. I was finishing up on what would have been a 16 mile ride...

I had to rent a tuxedo (gag) and I found it humorous that on the paperwork, it was printed: "Please treat this tuxedo as if it were yours..." I pointed to that on the paperwork, and told the lady who had just handed it over to me... "No ma'am.... you want ME to treat it like it is YOURS"...

As a 39 year owner of a Buick Regal G-Body (my first car)... it was neat to see a Buick Regal on the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show.

This is what... his fourth accident in two years? Jay Leno insists he is "holding up fine" after taking a nasty fall outside his hotel. The comedian told ‘Inside Edition’ he broke his wrist, sustained significant bruising on his face and body, and lost a fingernail after falling down a rocky...

I placed an online order with Menard's, to buy an item that I've bought in my local store multiple times in the past. For whatever reason, at some point in time, they decided to not stock this item in any store within 75 miles of me... but they do still sell it online. Nor could I easily...

Full solid deck, drive over fenders, and three ramps. Can't wait to see one. https://jalopnik.com/new-big-u-haul-car-trailer-just-dropped-1851695770

Advance Auto Parts is closing more than 700 locations to shore up the company’s finances following another dismal earnings report. The car parts retailer, which has about 5,000 stores, said Thursday that the closures are part of its “strategic plan to improve business performance.” Advance Auto...

Kum & Go, the gas station empire whose name has been a source of sophomoric humor for generations of Iowans, is on the way out. New owner Maverik, which purchased the Des Moines-based convenience store company in April 2023, announced Wednesday it plans to rebrand all Kum & Go stores. Trade...

One day this past week, when my sister returned to the office after her lunch hour... she walked in on the office getting robbed. She followed two police cars into the parking lot, and it kind of made her wonder as to why. It is a sleepy professional building with 3 other business tenants...

Honda HRN216. Self-propelled, variable speed. Sticker on the engine shows that it is a 2021 model. Picked it up at a household auction about 20 miles away. Was being sold as "untested", even though it looks like it has been used a handful of times at the most. Not a scratch or blemish on...

I know, it was all my fault.... I selfishly took 30 seconds of their day away from them. Yes, they got caught behind me for about 30 seconds. Marked two lane road, no paved shoulders, still within city limits., with some oncoming traffic. When there's not a paved shoulder, I tend to ride...

I'm thoroughly confused. Yes, I know.... this is Stellantis. Why doesn't a $62,000 Ram 1500 BigHorn Crew 4x4 (with the Level 2 package) have passive keyless entry.... when a $30,000 Jeep Compass and a $32,000 Chevy Equinox have it? To get inside it, you have to rummage the key fob out of...

You know that old saying, of "Just say no"...? Earlier this spring, the neighbors bought a 2023 Yukon XL SLT with 9,000 miles. They now have three kids and three car seats to use, and really needed the extra room. The problem was, it was a GM buyback out of California. The first owner had...

So... which way do you go? Both trucks are heavily discounted. The 2025 Ram is $47,500 and the 2024 Silverado is $48,250. Of course, the Ram has the relatively new Hurricane inline 6 twin turbo engine. And the Silverado has the 5.3 with its known lifter issues. The Ram will get better gas...

Wasn't expecting the 55ppm spike in the silicon at all. Is usually in the 10-15ppm range. Only work that has been done on engine, was to install a new oil pan at the last oil change. Air intake was not disturbed at all, to my knowledge. However, I removed, checked, and reinstalled the air...

Elegantly, of course. Must be coming from the hydraulic window cylinder. A warning for the new owner. Saw this today at the Labor Day Auction in Auburn, Indiana.

What were they thinking?

2022 Ram 1500, 5.7 eTorque, 5500 miles. Truck currently has engine oil dripping from where the engine and transmission bolt together. I'm being told that the oil drips are because of a messy oil change last week. Was told that the tech tried to dump the new oil in too quickly, and it burped...

Last week, I had a spring replaced on an 8 foot overhead door (steel insulated). This door does not have an opener on it. It has one torsion spring on it. Two observations: if I don't latch/lock the door when it is closed, it will begin to open itself. Give it an hour, and it will creep...
