Hiding in the garage after a rough ride home last night. Weather advisory called for 2-4" total. My ass. We had that before midnight. 6-8" down before it was over with. 12"+ drifts on the back roads in open areas covering the north/west bound lanes. In some areas the entire road was covered. Luckily I didn't have any high banked open places. Otherwise we would have had impassable roads.

The old ram wasn't too happy in all the snow. Voltage tanked for about a mile before coming back up to normal. Asked around and found this to be a pretty common deal. Unusual for me considering my alternator is clean and dry and I have a battery blanket. But I have been told that if it goes back to normal it's fine. Some sort of system safety I guess? Kinda sucks when you need your defrost to blast and it cuts to half fan speed.

If I remember properly (not a guarantee), the voltage regulator is in the ECM on those Rams. If it continues to give you issues, have an alternator test done at AutoZone or O'Reilly's or whoever you trust. If the rgulator fails, it's the ECM.

I know there's a love/hate with these trucks, but this thing should be a beast.

Congrats! Santa's Sleigh Red on that one!
Bear with me on this, because if I'm right, this post of mine will be important in about... 15 years! Because; AMC Gremlin? I HATED them when new. Now? I'd LOVE to have a good one. Cadillac CTS V when new? "Ridiculous for Cadillac to try to make a car look like a stealth bomber! It's UGLY!" Now? I drool a little every time I see one (ESPECIALLY if it's a V8 wagon).

New trucks? I'm thinking Decepticon or whatever the other Transformer thing is. I never liked Transformers from the cartoons up to now.

So let's see where time takes me, lol!
