Blackstone - used oil analysis
Thanks for the report. I have been using this oil in my 6.4 for several years now and the engine is quiet and smooth at all operating temperatures but I have not done a UOA. I am pleased with the oil so far and this confirm's that I will stay on this course, at least for now. I rarely have...- BLUKTY2

Synthetic Oil
I am absolutely NO EXPERT so please take this reply with that in mind. I cannot specifically answer your two questions but maybe I can offer a possible consideration or two. Also, I have the 6.4, not the 5.7. I really don't know if this makes a difference. I don't know how avaliable Amsoil is...- BLUKTY2

Replace TMPS When Installing New Tires?
Love your last two sentences! People seem more and more to be just a flock of sheep with no thought process of their own........ Following their "leader". Pathetic.- BLUKTY2

Synthetic Oil
I have been using this SS oil for a few years now after initially using PUP. I have not done a UOA yet and change it at around 4,500-5,000 miles. Currently at around 58,000 miles and the engine is quiet. I don't tow much weight, but carry a heavy camper 99% of the time.- BLUKTY2

Rear Air Bags and Height Adjustment
Adjusting the linkages is what I had in mind all along. I agree with the quick and easy part; I just didn't know for sure if they were adjustable or that this was an option. I don't know if the truck has had this lean since day one, but I noticed it about two years ago. I figured that it wasn't...- BLUKTY2

Rear Air Bags and Height Adjustment
Thank you very much for your thoughts and input and yes, it is a 3500. This is all great advise and I have already checked my front and rear axel weights when fully loaded and excessive weight is not the issue. I did not weight each side, but the bottom line is the right side of the bed is lower...- BLUKTY2

Rear Air Bags and Height Adjustment
After doing a search and not finding the information that I am looking for, I am hopeful that someone with more experience and knowledge than myself will chime in. My 2017 3500 has the factory rear air bags. I haul a heavy slide-in camper most of the time and the air bags seem to do a good job...- BLUKTY2

35w or 55w HIDS
+ 1 on this! Wasted enough time and money on LED's, that according to many reviews, "light up the night!". Might work for some, but not for me (projector housings). -

Synthetic Oil
I just can't seem to break my Amsoil SS 0W-40 habit. I feel that I need the 0W where I live but also need the 40. I don't tow very often, and when I do the weight is only around 1,000#'s or so. But 99% of the time I carry a very heavy camper, around 3,700#'s, probably quite a bit more. I often...- BLUKTY2

Oil Filter Thread
From what I have seen over the years and in my travels ALL Wally Worlds are like this. My wife and I hate going to WW but when we do we typically seem to comment on the class of citizens found in them. Many are down-right scary. We have found that the best time to go there is early on a Sunday...- BLUKTY2

ram forum please educate me on some oem replacement bulbs
I used what were probably the same Westinghouse aircraft landing lights on my vehicles for many years. The last car I used them on was a '82 Subaru that I sold in '92. I referred to them as my "moose lights". They were amazing lights, weren't they? And cheap too, around $12-$15 per bulb iirc... -

ram forum please educate me on some oem replacement bulbs
From my research and experience, the best type of bulb depends on whether you have reflector or projector headlights. I have projectors and initially tried a couple different brands of LED's in both the low and high beams. While they put out a lot of light, the low beam pattern sucked (for me)...
