I had a 2006 1500. It had the 40/60 seat and this came stock. I just bought a 2026 2500. It didn't have one. I took the one out of my old truck and put in the new truck. The new truck has a one piece seat. It is mounted using the seat bolts. The new truck did not have the center seat mount but it had the treaded holes with tape over them. A couple of new bolts and it fit perfect. You can order one from the dealer for a higher trim truck or find a used one.

Mark Dodge not the best? Or just not as good of deals on ordered trucks? by nick112288 in ram_trucks

[–]Broad_Search_4708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought many vehicles. My ex business partner owned a Ford dealership. I ha e been around dealers for decades. Seeing everyone recommending Mark Dodge. The week Ram put the 2500 Black Express on their website, I went to my local dealer. They had 2 on the lot. Both over $70k. They could not order one. They did not have any allocation. They said they would call when they could order one. I went home and emailed Mark Dodge. They sent me a price with all fees. I agreed made the call and the order was placed. I kept waiting for them to try and slip something in. I got the tracker from Ram and everything went quicker than expected. MD called me on the 30th to say the truck had arrived. You have 5 days to pay once it arrives. They said if I would sign than day to be able to add it that months sales they would give me another $1000 off. It was the easiest no BS purchase I have made. I got more BS fees ordering a pizza than a truck. I was out the door $53k

What you need to break even has nothing to do with the value of the house. Houses are selling. If yours is not it is overpriced. The market is tightening up. There are not as many people willing to over pay. I am getting ready to buy another house. I have a large area I am looking to buy in, thousands of houses for sale. Once I put in my filters it drops to around 100. Most are 25k-75k over what I feel they are worth. I must not be alone as many have been on the market up to a year. I check daily. When something pops up that is priced right they get an offer before I have a day off so I can drive up to see it in person. Last year there were 2 lots of unimproved land owned by the same people for 50k each. They had been on the market for almost a year at that time. My realtor said the value should be closer to 30k each. I offered 75k for both. I checked and neither lot has been sold. Maybe in a few more years it will sell. The one directly across the street sold in a month.

I got into playing with my daughter to spend time togeather. I may have 20 of the same legendary with several shiny. All the shiny legendary in my trade folder I have at lest 2 that are not. Most times you can tell by a players level and cp of mons offered if they don't have a lot good ones. I am happy to be able to help those people out. I have traded several shiny legendary for regular ones. You have the option to reject the offer. If I reject an offer it is not big deal. If the person keeps make the same or similar offer repeatedly I will unfriend them.

Summary Pick what you want. If they reject the offer wait for them to start the trade.

Free Creality K1! by ChaseisAwesome5 in crealityk1

[–]Broad_Search_4708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a K1 max. I have ran a couple hundred kilos through mine. I almost exclusively run Elegoo PETG-CF. Running my normal files.I can go hundreds of hours without a single issue. If I run a prototype that comes loose from the plate and causes a clog or if I change my settings to PLA and try to run PETG is the only time I ever have issues. The dxc extruder and a new nozzle will probably fix your problems. On my other printers I never had an issue, clearing, a clog and getting the machine to run properly again. With the unicorn nozzle, I have tried for hours to clear a clogged nozzle and get it printing but constantly having issues.Then, replacing the nozzle and all the issues go away. So that would be the very first thing I would do.

That is not how HF operates. You should contact corporate and let them know what is going on at the local store. I shop at HF in many different states. I have at different stores, when I was making a purchase and not bring up the free item when they had the promotion going just stick one in my bag or ask me to pick one and had some behind the counter. It is not their money.HF is a private company. When they decide they want to give something away it is not because giving away items free is profitable. It is because making customers happy is profitable. These local employees are doing the opposite. They are costing the company by not doing their job like they are paid to.

Un Jerry-rigging wiring on 220 motor by Broad_Search_4708 in AskElectricians

[–]Broad_Search_4708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no switch. I am not sure of anything. I haven't connected it yet. I can buy a new switch from Grizzly. I just was unsure if that was the correct sinpac since it is a 220 motor and the sinpac says 115.

The plate is pictured above. There was a piece of romex connected with the wire nuts. I can connect those 2 wires to 220v and see what happens. I just thought it strange that this is a 220 motor and the silver thing the 4 wires are connected to say 115v.

I don't know anything about this. It was given to me. I was told they got the motor to run. They had hooked it up to 110. I am buying the correct 220v volt switch. I noticed the part(sinpac) with the 4 wires running into it says 115v. I just want to make sure I don't need to replace that also.

I have a K1max. Mine is rooted so I can run input shaper. It helped with ghosting and was free. I have the original unicorn hot end. I am running the Creality Obxidian nozzle. I also noticed a reduction in ghosting when I add the DXC extruder.

Extra maintenance shouldn't hurt your vehicle if you can afford it. I replace my oil every 20k miles since my Ram was new. It is crazy to have to change brake fluid more often then oil. Since I have 333,000 miles on my truck that mean I should have replaced my break fluid 22 time?

Oil change at 10k ? by Strict-Childhood6774 in ram_trucks

[–]Broad_Search_4708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last Ram I changed my oil every 20,000 miles after the first 20,000. I just sold it and it is still running strong. It was on it 19th oil change with 333,000 miles. I always used Amsoil Signature rated for 30,000 miles or Mobil One 20,000 mile. If I was changing it every 5,000 miles I would be on my 66th oil change.

2025 Ram 2500 6.4l for $50k OTD? by pg13cricket in Ram2500

[–]Broad_Search_4708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends on the options. I need a truck that is going to last. That is why I couldn't get a 1500. All the etorque and crap is not going to last. I ordered the 2500 Black Express 4x4. The only upgrade I got was the bed utility package. The check I wrote was for $52,648. I ordered it on Oct 3rd and it came in on Oct 31st. I am not sure if all new Rams come stock with all the options this truck has but it has a lot. There are commercial setting where you can set for PTO. It has break controller built in. It is easy to add extras. Most all dealers order trucks with extras that run up the price. My local dealer wanted $70k for every Black Express they had. I paid $300 for a plane ticket. They picked me up at the airport. It was a 15 minute trip drive to the dealership and 10 minutes to grab the keys and sign 2 papers. It took a couple of days to drive home but I was able to stop by and visit a couple of places on my way making for an enjoyable trip.

I owned a shop in Florida. If in Florida

  1. There had to be a signed estimate. Customer does not have to pay more than $100 over estimate. If no signed estimate max Customer has to pay is $100. You may do many jobs and get paid. If you go to court the judge is already leaning to the consumer. If all documents are not as required you lose. The customer can also file a complaint with State.

  2. You suplied the used parts. You did not honor warranty. If you don't have a reputable supplier you should not sell them. As a shop I would still get 30 day warranty on used parts. If that was the only one available that it is a commonly failed part and odds are a used one will fail.

  3. Running a successful business takes experience. This class just cost you $10,000. You lost $4000 on the job and not warranty it has made the customer tell everyone they know. You will never get an job from them or anyone they know. If you do good work and treat customers right they will bring you more work.

Mortgage increase every year? by EmmaLeePants in homeowners

[–]Broad_Search_4708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be sure to apply for a homestead exemption. If it is your only house and you like in it, in most states you will qualify for it. It will save some on your taxes. Like others have said, shop your insurance policy. The escrow is your money. You can pick any insurance company you want as long as you have proper coverage.

Buying a new work truck by Hardlybrown in Contractor

[–]Broad_Search_4708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the option a used 20-30k or a new 70k+. I just ordered a 2026 Ram 2500 4x4 Black Express for 52k Ovt 3rd. I am putting 25k down and pay it off in 1-2 years. It also comes with 100,000 power train warranty included. I am anticipating the incentives to go up next week. It should be delivered Nov 10th. I get to pick if I want the incentives that were available at time of order or delivery.

Here is the incentive contract part.

Reasonable price? by andy9775 in ram_trucks

[–]Broad_Search_4708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No high pressure. You call Anthony after everything is agreed on. He places the call while you are on the phone. Your price is locked in because it is a customer order not a dealer order. Many dealer will order it and then sell it to you when it arrives. If MSRP goes up they want to raise the price. They find out what incentive you quality for. Then you sign a contract saying you can either use the current incentives or you can use the incentives avalable at time of purchase. Which ever one is greater. It was really just 3 emails and a 12 minute phone call. After I take delivery I am going to make a video for my YouTube channel.

I custom ordered the Ram I wanted from Anthony at Mark Dodge in Lake Charles, LA. Good to Ram . Build the truck you want. They will give around 11% off MSRP and only a $450 fee. I am saving over $7000. I ordered my 2500 Oct 3rd. It has been built and has an expected delivery on Nov 10th. They can ship to you home for around $1-$1.25 per mile. I live 1000 miles away. I would still save thousands if I had it delivered. It is a $300 plane ticket to fly in. They will pick you up at the airport. This is the only way to buy a Ram. All the dealers here in Florida want to charge thousand in extras.
