    Does Race Gas Go Stale?

    It seems to have more to do with how it's stored than anything else. My 200-gallon tank has a vented cap (which I'll try to eliminate soon, since that tank just got filled again), while the cans are completely tight. Ethanol or not doesn't seem to really matter, though. When vehicles filled up...

    Does Race Gas Go Stale?

    About three weeks ago the 200-gallon tank with ethanol free 91 octane ran out. Needed to fill up a couple of small vehicles and grabbed three good (air tight) 5-gallon metal cans from the garage. Put some Star Tron in them, since I've had very good luck with it, let them sit over night and then...

    Who didn't see this coming

    Hey, very much appreciate the offer. I'll likely need all the help I can get. What I'm curious about at this point is if your trunk mounted bypass would work on a TRX...which doesn't have a trunk.

    I ORDERED AN E-TORQUE BY MISTAKE!!! CRAP!!!

    Hmm, let's see here. Choice A: Get the Ram for a good price and enjoy a (most likely) trouble free vehicle. Choice B: Forfeit the deposit, get a Furd F150, and practically be guaranteed to have problems.

    Thanks. I need to edumacate myself on those things. Thought they went under the dash.

    Who didn't see this coming

    Hmm, if that's indeed true all I'd need is the bypass cable. Emailed the manufacturer of the most commonly used one about a year and a half ago (when I got the TRX), but still haven't heard back. Guess it's time to buy from some other outfit.

    POLL - Do you want the EV (MY24+ Dodge Charger Daytona Banshee) offering from Dodge SRT???

    That's good. Those EVs need both positive and negative to work at all.

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    Mine's also far from top of the line. Would've really liked to have a heated steering wheel, but realized that I'd rather freeze a bit every now and then than have to always deal with a touch screen...which is a must for getting the heated 'wheel and seats. Heck, I even ordered it without the...

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    Ah, yes, the Ramcharger. Wish I'd remember how many bags of cement I crammed into the back of one. Plus four people inside. Those bump stops got the workout of their lives. All nine of them, in one trip.

    Or call a transporter.

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    Okay, that's funny. Not so funny is how much that poor 1/2-ton is squatting. Must be some 300 lbs. in the back to get that kind of rake.

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    I don't mind the AWD/4WD. But a lower 2WD sure would be fun.

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    I'd love to have one. But there's no chance whatsoever that they'll make a Gen 5 regular cab. At least not for the US market. There's some weird emissions related rule that makes it tricky for them to have a small footprint (physically, as seen from above). As I recall, a regular cab longbed is...

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    No, they sure don't. That one was my first, and somewhat predictable lesson in 1/2-ton towing. Tried pulling my (empty) 16-foot enclosed trailer. No thanks. Later tried with an empty 16-foot flatbed behind the '14 Ram 1500. Again, a big no thanks. Best (okay, least worst) so far was that same...

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    I still (occasionally) miss my little '05 Chevy regular cab shortbed. Affectionately known as The Garden Pickup. It was set up to deal with corners, and could hang with many supposedly superior cars. But, a low 2WD pickup on wide tires wasn't exactly ideal for around here, so it was sold...

    Ram Shortbed Regular Cab Is Gone

    Agree. I also thought they were long gone. Now I can't remember if I even looked at ordering one in '14, or decided on a Quad Cab for other reasons. A short bed 1500 makes perfect sense, since there's no payload to speak of anyway. And obviously two doors are plenty since nobody uses a pickup...

    There, I fixed it for you.

    Is there a better way to change an oil filter?

    Well, I like to drain the oil while as much crap as possible is still in suspense in the oil. In other words, very shortly after driving the vehicle. I also don't care how much oil comes out of the cooler per se, but want the sediment trapped at the drain out of there. More flow helps with...
