My new Ram

I used the forged rims on my 09 for 3 1/2 yrs and then swapped them to my 13 when I got it. Been on there for another year and still look as new!! They are polished aluminum with some kind of clear coat that protects them even from brake dust. Very easy to keep clean.
The TPMS wouldn't work on the 13 truck so I had to buy new ones....  :o
I still have the 09 sensors, if you need another set lmk

I will try and find the info of the wheel supplier I bought from as they are the OE provider for Ram and hundreds of others...
All I remember ATM is it's in Florida lol isn't getting old fun :slap:

Oh here's a feature you prolly don't know you have lol. Push the unlock remote twice within 5 seconds and on the second button press continue pressure.
You can now remote down your front windows ;)
The longer you hold the further down they go.
Awesome feature on a hot day...

They dropped that feature on the newest trucks :(

Great purchase!   Congrats on the truck!

Yeah, definitely NO to any steel wool on those chrome-clad wheels. It's just chrome plated plastic, anything like that WILL scratch them. Don't use chemicals that are too harsh, either.
If you can get them clean, a coat of wax or two will make cleaning them next time much easier.

I am so damned frustrated.....when am I going to get a brake?

I did my usual Sunday routine....stopped by the store to get the folks some pastries before heading up to the cemetery to spend a few minutes at my wife's grave.

The folks are doing fine when I get there and we chitchat like always. THEN I start getting flak for buying the truck because now they

say they can't get into it. When I first brought it by they raved about how comfy and safe it would be......happy I'm planning for

their future needs blah blah blah.

We go outside and my father-in-law gets in the truck fine but my mother-in-law pitches a freakin' fit!!!!!!!

Sorry for the rant. I know they're old and understand their physical limitations but what next?

people are people, let it go/do the best you can with the situation. As for the Ram, got my 09 in the fall of 12, it's such a great truck!  You will love it!  Mine came with 67K on it, at 91K now.  No problems!  (knock on wood), Hey what intervals do real people change the plugs on these Hemis?

Looks like a set of running boards are in your near future.  Either that, or take their car next time.

Westin black non-lighted running boards arrived today. Install on Monday. They own an old Chebby Cavalier.......I'm embarrassed to tell you that at 6'1" 240#, that car and I are not ergonomically compatible.  :shruggy:

Anytime my friend!

Update.....I just took delivery of some Westin running boards to be installed Monday. These should make
it much easier for the folks to access the truck.......me too when my backs gives me grief which is daily.  :-\
