    Wife is making grumblings about new vehicle....

    Hybrid is worth it just for the better driving experience, better power, smoother power delivery. I drive both due to my work, and I couldn't see owning a gas once you drive the hybrid. The fuel savings is just an additional benefit.

    Does FCA have the 6.4L hemi cam / lifter issue fixed yet?

    The problem is there is no information on miles or engine idle time, or service history. Idle time can negatively impact lifter life. It was stated, these engines are common in commercial duty. It may have been out of a hydro line truck with huge idle times.

    Next Android phone?

    Been using a Samsung S24+ for a few months, came from a Samsung Note 10+ that was dead end on updates. Still miss that Note 10. The Samsung S24+ gets 7 years of all software updates, security and UI.

    2024 Ram 2500 Tradesman 6.4L - Lower than expected MPG

    I say break in is still in play. Engine, driveline, tires. It wouldn't surprise me if the factory derates the engine for the first 1000 or so miles, to avoid lugging it in top gear. Therefore the 7th gear situation. Check back once its past 5,000 miles.

    What tools are you using to remove stripped lug nuts?

    If you live is a salted roads environment, these $30 lug nuts will rust in 1 season. I went to McGards and the rust issue went away.

    Ransomware Attack Affects Parts & Service Network for 15,000 Auto Dealerships

    You snooze, you lose. Is it fair to say their IT dept was snoozing? CDK is still down this morning. My desktop shortcut won't even launch the login window. Everything is shut down.

    Edges of Tread

    Check a new tire and see how far down the siping goes. It may only be 2/32nds in that area with a hidden rib, to improve cornering feel, with less squirm.

    New to the driveway - 2024 RAV4 hybrid

    The HV cable is under an extended warranty. Notices were sent out to owners in May. Really like my RAV4 Hybrid. At 40k, it's only needed oil changes and wipers. I swap winters, the OE AS tires look close to new.

    New Truck recommendation

    Just doing some research on GM transmissions, they are programming them to precondition with solenoids being operated when the unlock button is hit. They're burping the system in prep for start up. Enough bad press gets the engineers doing some interesting fixes.

    Oil quality & Timing Chain Cam phased life 3.5 EB

    Then "it depends" on what went in to repair the OPs truck at 100,000 miles. Josh, do you have the part numbers for what was installed at 100k?

    NASA's Hybrid Concept with GE Aerospace

    And I thought there was no such thing as a free lunch. Lower thrust engines to produce more thrust overall. Interesting.... Increased weight on the extreme aft of the plane and increased tail strike possibility, would be additional considerations.

    What is this?

    Close, but the long attached pointed end doesn't match.
