New 2500
I'm from Monroeville, which is in the county next to Bay Minette, and my mother is from the town right next to Bay Minette. I know it well. :) Hope you spent some time in Gulf Shores while you were there!- nlambert182

2018 RAM 2500 6.7L Cummins P2227 finally resolved
Chrysler products in general are finicky when it comes to sensors. I've seen very few work successfully with aftermarket sensors. On other vehicles I've had success with aftermarket stuff, but with experience of every Dodge/Ram/Jeep product I've owned, I always recommend OEM for these types...- nlambert182

Other 10 Ply Tire Options?
Transforce are considered commercial tires. For Michelin, their Agilis Crossclimate are classified as commercial. Don't get hung up on commercial/regular tires. I've yet to see the real benefit of running commercial tires on these trucks. Any good quality load range E tire is all you need...- nlambert182

Can the 2500 pucks be adapted to the 1500?
I've said all I care to say on it at this point. If you want to be dumb, you have to be tough I guess. I sold my B&W Gooseneck companion 5th wheel hitch to a guy on Marketplace once. He showed up in a 1500 and had installed a gooseneck receiver in it. Planned on towing a 34' fifth wheel with...- nlambert182

Other 10 Ply Tire Options?
My yogurt cup tires on my Ram and my wife's Armada have helped us to slim some weight off the vehicles, and we've picked up about .5 mpg to boot from the weight savings. (joking) These yogurt cups have about 30k miles on them right now and ride like a dream. They tow well, wear perfectly...- nlambert182

Other 10 Ply Tire Options?
Yep. What you're really looking for are load range E tires. They are the 10ply equivalent. Cooper Discoverer AT3s are my favorite. Ran them on my dually and before that, on my 2500. I currently have Michelin Defenders and no complaints on those. My 3500 had Transforce before the...- nlambert182

Can the 2500 pucks be adapted to the 1500?
No such thing as dry weights. Those only exist on paper and in fairytales and change the second it leaves the factory. You'll literally never tow at those numbers. A 1200 lb dry hitch weight is likely well over 2k lbs as you'll tow it. What is the GROSS weight of the trailer? Take that...- nlambert182

Ram 1500 Cab lights -----Poll
My personal opinion (and my opinion only).... cab lights belong on a 3/4-1T truck. I've never liked them on 1500s. I associate them with big diesel trucks, but to each their own. If you like them, go for it.- nlambert182

What is the best DEF/EGR delete kit?
What do you consider rude? Opinions are opinions and it's just text on a screen. There's no way to read inflection, so no need to get upset over text. It could be meant totally differently than how you read it.- nlambert182

What is the best DEF/EGR delete kit?
The ones I'm talking about are 100% zero emissions equipment. This is one example. These are 6.7 Powerstrokes. When they arrived, there is a sticker on the fan shroud that says emissions exempt. They are driven on the street frequently.- nlambert182

Says who? People who crank up the HP have problems later on. I've never met anyone with a deleted truck whose had issues that left them stock, myself included.

He just explained how it helps the environment. There is no argument to be made that it doesn't produce a cleaner exhaust. It absolutely does.

What is the best DEF/EGR delete kit?
Obviously I have no issue with whether or not someone wants to delete their trucks but this is nonsense. DEF coupled with the emission system does provide cleaner emissions. It doesn't hide black smoke. However, it comes at a cost. Reduced reliability due to more complex systems, potential...- nlambert182

What is the best DEF/EGR delete kit?
I've bought kits from Diesel OPS and Tuner Depot. The most recent was TD.

The key thing that is more important than anything is not to turn it up as...- nlambert182

Pre-owned 1500 with all around limo tint
The rear windows should have a factory tint on them that's somewhere in the 20% range. I typically tint my front two windows to match the factory tint on the rear and then do a 70% ceramic tint on the windshield. The windshield tint isn't noticeable and doesn't impact anything at night, but it...- nlambert182

5th wheel hitch install RamBox
2500s have a niche where they fit. My 2500 is perfectly sized for my travel trailer. It's too heavy for a 1500 and not heavy enough for a 3500. My tongue weight hovers in the 1,500 lb range. I am 400 lbs over the payload sticker since it's so low, but totally loaded up ready to camp I am...- nlambert182

5th wheel hitch install RamBox
Agreed. Towing capacity is almost impossible to achieve in a camper because a lot of its weight is static. Much easier to get closer to the tow capacity on a flat bed where you can adjust the weight to reduce tongue weight (or gooseneck weight). I don't care what kind of WDH someone runs or...- nlambert182

5th wheel hitch install RamBox
So your payload is 1,004 lbs, meaning you cannot load more than 1,004 lbs onto the truck above what it came with from the factory. B&W turnover ball underbed hitch is 96 lbs. Paragaon tonneau is 35 lbs. Before you even add any passengers your usable payload is already down to 873 lbs. Let's...- nlambert182

5th wheel hitch install RamBox
If your RAWR is 4,100... about 50% of that will be the truck itself. So.... you're already down to 2k lbs on the axle before passengers, a hitch, or cargo. Since you have a limited, likely less. I'm going to estimate that you probably have a 1,400 lb payload or less in the limited since you...- nlambert182
