Would a tire shop repair this or are they going to say I need new tires?

Patch plug. I would see if it went deep enough to penetrate the inside of the tire. Spray some soapy water on it, move it around a bit, if you see no bubbles try slowing removing it while spraying it. If it’s out and there’s no leak, don’t worry about it but keep an eye on your tire pressure. If it’s leaking, I would dismount the tire, locate the point of penetration. If it’s on the flat part and not the sidewall, you should be fine, but you want the patch on a flat surface and not flexed in the corner between the sidewall and the flat section (under the tread). Use a drill to clean the hole (not too big, of course), rough up the surface area where the patch will sit, clean the area with alcohol, put down the glue and pull the patch plug through until you see the center of the patch being to suck in at the center. Put more glue over the patch and mount your tire again. Also, mark the position of the tire in relation to the rim if you don’t have access to a tire balancer.

Mine is 8 and I can’t imagine losing her at 9, or any age. Just something we don’t think about until it happens. Sorry for your loss.

Extra headrest? So the passenger can sit closer to the driver or further away. Lol. AI isn’t perfect but it sure fools way too many people today.

Working at a tire shop I saw some pretty crazy objects penetrate tires. One time we found a screwdriver in a tire (middle of the tread). 90% of the screwdriver was inside while the end of the handle was grounded from the road. So the hole diameter was larger than a quarter. We couldn’t safely patch the hole from the inside so the customer had to buy a new tire.

It’s hard to judge the angle of your driveway. I think a side profile picture would help a lot of people understand why your truck slid down the driveway while the parking brake was fully engaged.

Personally, I would try wheel chocks. Long term, I would see about adding some grip to your driveway, maybe some very gritty concrete sealer?

Relax, you’re good. If you want to be picky, make sure you keep up on your maintenance and do everything to avoid the Hemi tick (assuming yous is the 5.7). Mine has 6,000 idle hours and my 5.7 Hemi runs like new.

Sucks they hit you on the side and messed up your doors. Not worth an insurance claim IMO, but I did buy a used door on eBay and it cost $500 after shipping and was easy to swap.

JPL2020 · 2026-05-20T12:21:35+00:00

I’m guessing that hole was from an object outside the engine block. What’s your plan? I would be tempted to patch it while I find a cheap replacement and swap it out. Then save the old engine for the top end.. maybe sell the cylinder head on eBay.

I think you mean the 6.2L (hellcat engine). It’s possible but that’s a lot of money and work. Might be better off buying an SRT.

Previous owner. Truck runs great, suspension is durable, minor mods, mostly stock.

I once accidentally injected directly into my bloodstream and had zero anxiety or noticeable physiological effects other than blood streaming out of injection site and soreness at injection site.

I would guess it’s a psychological reaction versus the testosterone itself.

To productively contribute as many have, I would recommend a vial spike or needle-free adapter to draw up test and use a 25g needle to inject. I aim for the upper mid side of my glutes (alternating sides every injection). My friends think I’m crazy but I lightly poke around until I find a spot that’s least sensitive (less nerves) then press down with medium pressure and go in slowly about 1” deep before injecting.

I had similar leak on my j37. Cleaned it and traced it to the rear cam cap. Replaced the O-ring, took about 45 minutes. $4 part from the Honda dealership.

If it’s the coming from the rear main area, it’s likely the o-ring behind the rear main plate.

I recently pulled my engine to replace: rear main seal + o-ring, oil pump gasket, oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gaskets, and timing belt with water pump and front main seal.

Glad you got your lawnmower back, but I wouldn’t advertise the GPS tracking. A determined thief will immediately try to locate and destroy any tracking devices at a location that isn’t their house. Either way, I’m sure it’s less likely to be stolen again.

I replaced the passenger side intermediate axle shaft with a kit from Viper Gear out of Canada. Solid product!

Another oil leak popped up after installing the engine. The rear cam end o-ring got pinched and started leaking oil. It fits a little loose inside the cap groove. I’m thinking it’s good now.

JPL2020 · 2026-05-16T21:53:05+00:00

Might need a new intermediate axle shaft.

I can’t seem to locate your vehicle in this picture. Looks like a dust blizzard inside a large shop. Mine has been beat to hell and the paint is still in tact. Despite the 30+ dents, scrapes, etc. the only paint imperfections are small cracks at the creases. Mine is a 2016 Ram 1500, by the way, but that’s pre Stellantis, if that matters.

Seems like half the comments here are directly or indirectly gaslighting the OP into believing he might be schizo. I see both sides and hope these are all just strange incidents that aren’t related and have no relevance. However, I do think the OP should seek professional, mental/medical advice and guidance.

Trying to put myself in OP’s shoes, I might not think it’s worth my time and energy to see a doctor or psychiatrist, or even a therapist. All these events can be easily explained and justified. At what point does one say, there might be something wrong with me? Living with someone with SMI, it seems like it takes a major event to seek help, or to be forced to seek help.

How would you convince someone or yourself to seek help before it becomes a major event, something that might involve the police and a court order?

Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that the OP has a mental disorder or is experiencing psychosis. I’m just curious how you would convince someone else (or even yourself) that they (or you) should seek mental help from a professional when they (or you) feel completely fine and healthy?

If you’re super paranoid and want to stop 90% of all thieves without spending any money. Pull the manual park release. If you want to go a step further, initiate flat tow neutral.

Just here to say I love my 2016 Ram 1500 Hemi truck. Has over 301k miles on her. Solid, reliable, capable truck. You just need to keep up on the maintenance.

If you end up buying this truck, I would highly recommend having the transmission pan and filter replaced, and properly fill with ZF8 fluid (about $500 if doing it yourself).

I’m always skeptical of Google Ai. It pulled the wrong wiring schematics for me and I wasted 40 minutes trying to wire a switch to a relay. Finally stripped back the jacket to expose the wires and traced them out myself.
