    Ram Recall

    From what my local dealer told me the kits from Chrysler are "rationed". I am likewise waiting... maybe someday it will get fixed

    Off Roading Hi-Lift Jack

    It works well, given the situation where that is feasible. You can also use those jacks as a poor mans winch. However be careful, they can bite and hurt you if you are not careful.

    Rigid LED 20" Light Bar Install Details and Photos

    If you are driving solo that is great and those lights look great. However, as one who has been nearly blinded by bright headlights (HID mostly), please be careful to use them only when no on-coming vehicles are present, from way more than the "legal" distance. You might be very surprised what...

    Negative report on tilt bed trailer

    From my experience the trailer manufacturers build what buyers want, lowest possible price, and as a result they build cheap. Electrical connectors that are push on junk, frames that are marginal at best, etc. You get what you pay for in general, unfortunately. I am very hesitant to buy one...

    Rislone Oil treatment with Zinc

    The reduction in zinc is to keep the EPA mandated catalytic converters pure and uncontaminated, in the pursuit of ever cleaner air.

    Oil Change Question

    Gpa; while you are correct in a matter of fact way that the oil system has to function very briefly for the oil filter to fill, I have never filled the oil filter on any engine in advance, including drag racing motors with very high compression. The oil pumps on many engines (all of the ones I...

    Oil Change Question

    I have not looked at a 2012 but believe it is much like my 2011. It is readily accessible from below. If you want to fill it, have at it, I just let the pump fill it since it is right over your head or nearly so.

    Wanting better mpg!

    My 2011 took about 10K miles to show decent mileage, and it is not a DEF model. It does vary significantly, long trips are much better, anything less than 30 minutes is less than 15mpg, 2500 mile trip in a week overall average was 19.9 hand calculated (not loaded).

    How can I tell if High Output (800 lb-ft)

    One way to find out is determine the build date. Those built in March or later of 2011 had the 800ftlb engine. Mine is a 650, very happy with it built in February of 2011

    Portable Saw Mill

    Bignasty and jhenderson; I agree shrapnel in logs is a big hazard, regardless of the source, the environazi's are the worst. It does wreck machinery and may injure workers. I worked at a sawmill many years ago and saw some of the carnage. Some use a metal detector to attempt and find all the...

    Portable Saw Mill

    I have never used one, or a chainsaw mill. My first thought after looking at lots of them (I make furniture and do lots of woodworking) is that they are expensive for occasional use (the bandsaw and the other circular saw mills). Seems to me the cheaper (and more work) is a chainsaw mill...

    Oil Change Question

    I go by the EVIC. Change it when the EVIC says an oil change is needed. The EVIC uses a complex algorithm to determine oil changes are needed, better than a human unless a long trip is anticipated and you do not want to change oil mid trip.

    Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Clayton Lake, Maine

    Parker Otto Ackley is a very famous name in the gun business. Probably the most prolific wild cat creator of all time. Ackley improved is the usual term, some have become commercial offerings and he has many followers today. He started the gun school at Trinidad State Junior College (nearly in...

    Diamond Plate Rock Guard

    If you are contemplating thin diamond plate, even the 0.125" stuff will dent with rocks, etc by itself. Resistance to dings depends upon what is behind the plate.

    Ram Recall

    My dealer told me that the parts are on national back-order and will call me when they come in

    Here we go again....Winter Storm Hercules

    Weathermen, the only people who can keep a job when being wrong more than half the time.

    Rating of factory 4" hitch?

    Never heard of a 4" receiver. Two inch square, yes. Every Pickup I have had in that state had commercial plates and they are a bit pricey. Another reason to leave, we did.

    Ram Recall

    I got mine last week.... says "call the dealer after 6 January 2014 for an appointment". I am continuing to drive ours.

    Anyone Using Emulsified Diesel Fuel?

    Sounds like another CARB (California Air Resources Board) boondoggle.
