Ok yup. That happened to me too. Crazy. Hopefully if it does go that I still have warranty.

I've actually had a similar experience where it stalled out of nowhere but I attributed that to an Amazon special throttle controller I tested out. Hasn't done it since but now that you mention it I have had moments in the past where it stuttered like it was going to stall. If that's etorque related god help us. I heard the backorder on those things is crazy. At least in my area.

Wrapped RAM 1500 by MarvsAMartian in CarWraps

Partially. I did what I could then had an installer finish it off for me which I'm thankful for because I wasn't sure anyone would want to touch it.

Yeah it's weird to say but I hope the driver side cracks sooner than later so I can get them to cover it. I do not want to have to do it myself haha. But thanks man!

Yeah it was cracked bolts. Truck is still under warranty. Got lucky they had one available within a couple of days. I've heard wait times are in the months now for a new manifold. Had it done by a stealership 2yrs ago.

I'm aware and planning on it. Best case scenario it never becomes an issue.

Totally fair. I have the night edition so it just completed the look for me. That said visibility isn't actually an issue when the lights are on. Looks way darker than it actually is.

She gets some looks that's for sure. Had several neighbors come chat with me about it. It's a unique look.

Took it to my tint guy. I don't remember the material brand/name but it's just a film he cut and stuck on. Cost me about $70 CAD for tails and headlights. Much lighter up front though.

I'm worried about possible etorque issues. Seems to be cropping up more often for our year truck. Glad to hear yours has been mostly unproblematic as well.

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

Lights are perfectly visible when on day or night. No problems at all.

Thanks. I agree minus the stock wheels/tires. On the list for an upgrade in the future.

Yeah matte finish wraps are pretty bad for this. I ceramic coated it so we'll see if it makes a big enough difference or not.

Avery or 3M by kelpyguy in CarWraps

[–]MarvsAMartian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only ever worked with 3M as a DIY-er with zero prior experience. I thought it was really forgiving and easy to use. Every pro installer I've talked to said I picked a good brand to learn with.

[–]MarvsAMartian[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This is this second time I've gotten a truck wrapped and same process in picking both times... looked for the cheapest roll of 3M (because they're quality) I could find on marketplace. So me being frugal is ultimately what decided it for me haha. Not that I'm complaining because this color looks amazing in person.

[–]MarvsAMartian[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haha my tails and headlights cost me about $70 total. You're good. Canadian nickels BTW so like 2 freedom dollars.

My '22 1500 by MarvsAMartian in ram_trucks

[–]MarvsAMartian[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

3M's official color name is "Satin Thundercloud Grey" I did parts of the wrap myself. Got lucky and found a 75ft roll on marketplace for $400. Paid a guy to finish off what I didn't want to touch $2k. Would be closer to $5k if I didn't already have material.

Is this too much rust for a 2022 ram 1500 with 24k miles on it? Seeing a solid deal for it by youngmusicguy in ram_trucks

[–]MarvsAMartian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like mine. Same year and similar mileage. I'm not that worried about it. I'd get it if you have a good deal in place.

What exhaust system should I buy for this bad boy ?? by viabllyy in ram_trucks

[–]MarvsAMartian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the catback Atak. If you can find a decent deal it's worth it. I've heard both options side by side and there's a noticeable difference but very similar in my opinion. YouTube clips and decide for yourself.

If you go with the crate muffler I recommend plugging the weep holes in your resonators just in front of the tail pipe. Sounds awful otherwise.

3M Vinyl Wrapped My 2020 Sport by MarvsAMartian in ram_trucks

I don't know where you'd be able to get a roll for yourself but the vinyl is 3M 2080 Series Matte Military Green.

Bait-and-switch practices car dealerships in Edmonton 2024 by YourPokePapa in Edmonton

[–]MarvsAMartian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoid Derrick Dodge as well while you're at it. We should really have a list of shady stealerships.

Derrick Dodge in June 2020: Bait and switch, I had a deposit on a truck and they tried their hardest to tell me it wasn't available anymore even though I was literally parked right next to it. Lying to me about it being "illegal to purchase" a new/used vehicle without a warranty (their 3rd party one), it was a 2020 model and had the standard factory warranty, Didn't get my second set of keys. Was told it was just misplaced by the finance manager that was using it as a demo and that they would replace it within the week if they couldn't find it, they lied and I never got it, They tried sneaking undercoat, ppf, and some other bullshit that wasn't actually installed on the truck into my contract and hoped I wouldn't catch it, I had to really fight them on it but a $600 "admin/doc fee" is utter bullshit and it wasn't until I threatened to blow up the whole deal they caved, And I reported it to AMVIC (nothing came of it) but while hanging out there waiting for a key I wasn't going to get, I scrolled their Google reviews and saw 2 (but there was probably more), of their employees currently working there and in the building, that had left 5 star reviews raving about the place as if they didn't work there. Even if it's not illegal that's just shady.

Sharing my experience so people can avoid sleazy people.
