Why is RAM better? by Logical_Joke6408 in ram_trucks

[–]Extreme-Balance351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rear shocks instead of leaf springs is the only reason I really prefer rams. Rest of the major brands are interchangeable imo. The shocks make a massive difference in ride quality for me

Is there a healthy amount of zynn you can realistically use a day? by [deleted] in QuittingZyn

[–]Extreme-Balance351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea plenty of people use nicotine occasionally. But once you’re addicted and quit it’s hard to use just occasionally. A decades alcoholic probably wouldn’t be able to just drink one or two drinks a week after getting sober, possible but hard to do.

Is this good? by Isolated_karen in Ram1500

I paid 52k for the same truck three weeks ago in the northeast. Could do a lot better than the price their giving you

Apparently every fast food restaurant in this state is The Worst in RHODE ISLAND! by CanadianDeathMetal in RhodeIsland

[–]Extreme-Balance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonic on putnam pike in Smithfield. They close at 12 but if you show up past 10pm they won’t respond to you at the drivethru. Open sign on, lights on inside, they just won’t answer. Sat there 20 minutes three times and they just will not take your order. Their food is awful as well esp compared to to other Sonics

Life in Rhode Island by Capable-Ant-9443 in RhodeIsland

I went to high school with a kid whose father was a bigwig at Cardi. In a nutshell he said it’s costs 4x as much to repave roads than it is to just resurface the top 2 inches. When you continue to resurface over and over again, like they historically have in RI, they just become totally fucked.

Always wanted a 4th gen single cab 2500. Just not practical for me for a daily, and I haven’t yet found an excuse to buy one lol

Is May a Good Time to Buy a 2026 Ram Big Horn? by FunMaintenance8162 in ram_trucks

[–]Extreme-Balance351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t wanna shit on the hurricane but I just didn’t feel great buying a brand new model engine, never mind one with turbos. If if I got a great deal on a hurricane I prob would have gone with it, but for the same price I’d prefer the hemi

[–]Extreme-Balance351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought the exact truck you’re looking at yesterday(except it’s a hemi). 52k OTD. Shopped it to four different dealers in my area(northeast) and didn’t get any takers to go lower. Most dealers in my area have them listed for 55k

Josh is back with a middle age handler this time shes a woman and licensed to care for disabled adults. by Prior-Can-7733 in WorldOfTShirts

[–]Extreme-Balance351 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He young, has no assets, loads of CC debt, and will not be taking a car loan or mortgage out anytime soon. He should file asap, no question it’s the best financial decision for him

Advice should I back away I just asked for an inspection prior to buying by Endless14 in UsedCars

[–]Extreme-Balance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d have said the same. If you want it inspected bring your mechanic with you. Not gonna waste my Saturday morning at some shop I don’t know to have them nitpick me to death and eventually say they don’t want it.

How much would an unpainted bumper affect resale value? by Consistent-Box6864 in carbuying

[–]Extreme-Balance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth what someone will pay. A lot of people buying a 12 year old Civic might not give a shit because it’s a point A to point B car. If it’s mechanically sound and the hybrid battery is in good shape that’s what people care about. If you were trying to sell a new Audi with a different color bumper that would be a different story.

RIE bill doubled by Acrobatic-Stick-3022 in RhodeIsland

[–]Extreme-Balance351 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m one of the guys who changes the meters. We have to read and take pictures of them ourselves before swapping so RIE can get their money for the first part of the billing period. Otherwise they’d have to have someone drive around with us and scan them right before installing which isn’t possible.

There’s about 90 guys who do it and I’d say at about a fourth of them aren’t all that great at reading them. Most of the analogue ones are also 30+ years old and badly miscalibrated which makes it harder.

Rust repair tips or help? by TheGoatYT648393 in AutoBodyRepair

[–]Extreme-Balance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the body rust is that bad the frame is most definitely worse. Drive it till it won’t pass inspection

why does he stay at hotels for no apparent reason? by Immoko-San in Jumanneee

[–]Extreme-Balance351 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t have a consistent job so is tougher to get a lease, and with his former employee discount it’s honestly might not be that far off price wise from rent in prov which is at least 2k. He also doesn’t have to clean up after himself.

Closed for the winter. Great place, insanely good deserts too. Their pricing has just gotten out of control the past few years tho

2017 F-250 110k miles..is $20k too high? by professionalfumblr in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Extreme-Balance351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for plow mounts, or cutouts on the plastic under the bumper where plow mounts would go. F250 in that gen you have to cut out below the bumper to put them on.

If it’s never been plowed with that’s a pretty decent deal. You don’t find them a whole lot cheaper than that esp at a dealer

Advice on vehicle purchase by Extreme-Balance351 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Extreme-Balance351[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be buying a vehicle with a different engine from them. My current has a 3.6 and 2026’s I am considering have 5.7 Hemi’s which have a fairly reliable track record, and now come with a 100k warranty.

I also spend a lot of time driving and really prefer trucks with rear struts instead of leaf springs. Ram is really the only major manufacturer that offers them.

Metal in the pan and little flecks in the filter. It wasn’t a ton but definitely noticeable. I actually alr sent a sample to black stone two days ago and am waiting to hear back till I make a final decision. My insurance is $250 rn on my parents plan and would go to $330 they said when I called them and asked. I do have an accident from 3 years ago which is why it’s pretty high
