2020 Camping season.....over before it starts?
Our 2020 WINTER season was cut short due to the pandemic. We dragged the Stryker 2916, with the Harleys in the garage, down to MacDill AFB mid-Jan for 3 weeks & slowly worked our way up to campgrounds in GA. & SC. We were at Joint Base Charleston Short Stay, with reservations thru 28 March, but...- DAKSY

Towing: Gas vs diesel debate, 1500 & 3500

Full of all our stuff & the wife's '11 Street Glide & my '14 Ultra Limited aboard...For the ENTIRE trip it averaged 6mpg.

MIL - Tranny Problems
It's AT that dealer. Had it towed in when I could not get it to move. Evidently, they only have ONE tranny repair station & there is a RAM in there for service that was not finished as of last Friday. The service writer said he thought the tranny either needs rebuilding or replacement. It has...- DAKSY

MIL - Tranny Problems
Morning. Stuck at Robins AFB in Ga., after our 2018 2500 64l crapped out. I retired on 21 Dec & left N.Y. on 2 Jan. Pulled the 10K lb Toy Hauler about 7K miles without an issue, but last Tuesday, after what was supposed to be one night stay at this base, she wouldn't go more than 100 feet before...- DAKSY

Towing an RV Trailer
Well, here I am the NEWBY to travel trailering, although I HAVE towed boats & small trailers with building materials. I also spent some time in Big Rigs, although it was nearly ALL yardwork & fuel island stuff. Anyway, my wife (aka The Princess) & I are BOTH retiring this year & we decided that...- DAKSY

07 gone. 18 in the driveway
Ok. Ok. Yeah, I'm OLD, but I actually DO have a job & don't get back to this site as much as I'd like to. Here's a pic at the dealer. We picked it up 18 Nov. & as of this AM it has 2146 Miles on it. It also has wheel-to-wheel running boards & a whole LOT of NY road grime on it.- DAKSY

07 gone. 18 in the driveway
Couldn't take the "Nickel & Dime" repairs on an almost monthly basis, so I made the decision to trade the 07 RAM on an 18. Went from a Regular Cab to a Crew Cab & a 5.7l to a 6.4l. The Princess & I are BOTH retiring next year & we needed something reliable to pull an as yet unpurchased Toy...- DAKSY

Seat Mechanism
My 2007 is a used Utility Company truck & while the maintenance for keeping it running was pretty good, the interior took a beating. Screws into the dashboard for mounting a microphone, heater shroud under the passenger side looks like it was kicked HARD with a steel-toed boot ($215!) & enough... -

Shock recommendations
Hey. 63 year-old RAM Newb here. Already did the intro into the member's forum, & came to the Gen III forum lookin for a little more comfort in the 2500. I realize it's a TRUCK & a WORK TRUCK at that, but I was just wonderin if I can get her to be a little less bone-jarring. Yeah, I could load...- DAKSY

Newbie in here
Thanks for the welcome! I DID change the oil immediately & put in Mobil 1 & a NAPA gold filter. I figured the power company kept everything else up to ***** after talking with a couple of their mechanics. They couldn't have them breaking down on the job, so the PM was a high priority.. Once it...- DAKSY
