Actual combustion engineer here:

GDI is not the root cause, a bad fuel pump and/or bad injectors probably are.
If excessive fuel supply washes down the oil from the cylinder walls, leakage will increase and with that gasoline will dilute the oil which in turn increases friction in the entire engine leading to catastrophic failures.
What causes the HPFP

Most people got into a Ram because it was cheaper than the competition, and had the Hemi engine.  They skyjacked the prices, and are getting rid of the Hemi.  Shocker that sales have slumped?

I’m going to guess one guy told everyone else it was ok, and that is turning into people claiming the manager said it was ok.

A towing outfit named “Gotcha Towing” couldn’t possibly be an ethically challenged business.

If they have never seen towing like this before, then they must live under a rock somewhere far outside of Charlotte.  I live in Charlotte and it has been a popular topic on the news for decades of how fast towing companies will tow your car if you park somewhere and even look at another store besides the store the

Bring back three on the tree, cowards!

You know what takes up less space? A column shifter. I agree, I dislike the buttons in the current Tahoe/Suburban, but not nearly as much as I hate audi’s shifter.

But they still take up room on the console where a shifter like this doesn’t even need to be. Put it on the dash like the dodges at least. I just hate console shifters in general though. I’d rather have a column shifter and more space for junk in the console 😄

All trucks should have column shifters*

Going pre-approved by your credit union gives you bargaining advantage for sure, and you don't have to deal w/the stealership and their finance BS. The balls in your court then. 

Exactly, get preapproved through your bank or credit union before you start shopping.    Most of the time the dealership is not going to beat a legit bank or CU loan.  Usually only the rare time for new cars they offer 0% financing, which I am not even sure is a thing anymore

Also, if you get approved through whichever bank you deposit your checks at, they’ll have income verified already

But, but, according to their lobbyists, dealerships are there to protect the consumer!

ACDAB (Car Dealers) ...?

So remember, if a dealer says you’re approved, make sure you check to see that you’re actually approved before you leave with that car.

God, dealers are such scumbags.

If we lived in a sane world dealerships would not be allowed to sell financing. It’s a conflict of interest as the best interests of the finance company, the auto manufacturers and the customers are not aligned.

I’d have a Focus in the family fleet now if they weren’t equipped with glass transmissions.

I am going to say a family member’s house. You’re doing it to be nice because you haven’t seen them in a while or it’s just convenient to visit, maybe for a free place to stay. But they are going to either irritate you or want to talk for way too long and throw off your schedule.
