Tire Question for my Dodge truck

While my truck isn't a sweptline, it is a Dodge Ram (not a Ram!) I am considering replacement tires for my 1997 Dodge Ram. I currently have Goodyear Fortera tires on it and between this set of tires and the last Goodyear tires I had they are not something I would buy again. The last new tires I boug...

Thinning the herd

I decided a few weeks ago, that it was time to thin the herd from two down to one. Since the City of La Porte, and the State of Indiana decided they needed to reach into my wallet and take an additional $40 for each vehicle I own, plus raise the gas tax an additional dime per gallon, I decided it wa...

This week I am hoping to get garage organized so that I can get my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Laramie that is sitting in my brother's garage.

On April 29 I closed...
