    HD rear Coil Spring "Upgrade"

    Hello, Back in December I bought a 2023 RAM 2500 diesel with the Laramie package. I was looking for something to pull our Grand Design Toy hauler. The toy hauler has a GVWR of about 16800 fully loaded. I know I should have bought a 3500 but this was too good a deal to pass up and I'm not...

    What Size Trailer/Camper to Buy

    Yes Clay, that's the one. Back to the Steer wheels.......are you talking about the truck or the trailer. The only reason I ask is that the trailer has two axles and I wasn't sure if you were talking about distributing the weight in the trailer evenly between the two axles.

    What Size Trailer/Camper to Buy

    At the risk of sounding ignorant, what do you mean by "Steer wheel" and "Drive axle"? The comment I made about buying a Class A RV was more tongue in cheek. As was suggested going the Class A route presents it's own set of problems. lol I've been looking at Forest River Travel Trailers, more...

    What Size Trailer/Camper to Buy

    I would like to thank everyone for their input, it's been very helpful. I'm not a novice at towing trailer...........I just don't know anything about how to camp! lol Seeing as I just bought the truck a few months ago, I don't have any plans to trade it in just yet. I'm only planning the one...

    Factory Reset Question

    Hi, I never ended up doing the hard reset. I did a radio reset through the engineering menu but not an actual hard reset back to factory defaults. I didn't want to take the chance of losing my Navigation. I'm sorry that you lost yours but it confirmed my initial fears of losing the navigation...

    Factory Reset Question

    Ricks Ram - I tried both resets that you suggested but neither worked. I don't want to take a chance doing a "factory" reset and risk losing my navigation. I guess I'll have to live with it. lol Thanks for the suggestions though, it was very appreciated.

    Factory Reset Question

    Thanks for the advice Ricks Ram. I have since discovered my radio is the Ra3 with dealer installed navigation. I will try doing the battery disconnect and soft reset and see if that solves the problem.

    Factory Reset Question

    Thanks for the reply. How do I tell which model radio I have? The main reason I want to do a factory reset is because after I swapped out the gauge cluster for the premium one, the navigation prompts aren't showing up on the EVIC screen anymore. It shows the up coming turn and distance but not...

    8.4 update install question

    I just did the update on my truck a couple of days ago. Unzip the downloaded file directly to your flash drive. You should only have two files the "swdl" and the "upd". it's best to reformat the flash drive in fat32 format before you put any files on it. My update went very smoothly with no...

    Upgrading Side Mirrors

    Hello, I have a 2014 RAM 1500 Big Horn. It currently has the plain old heated side view mirrors without turn signals and puddle lights. I would like to upgrade these to mirrors with turn signals and puddle lights. I understand that I would need to have two sales codes added to make them...

    14 express premium cluster upgrade

    Hello, Here's the update on my cluster upgrade. My gauge cluster got to Dominic on Wednesday and was on it's way back Thursday morning. It arrived Saturday. I had him program 75 miles more that my vehicle's current mileage. So today I hit the programmed mileage and swapped it out. The...
