Tradesman vs Big Horn
Ok. In the market for a diesel 2500, trading in the 2014 Laramie mega cab, and I already know I'm going to miss some luxuries after trade in, but new Laramies are priced out of my budget. That being said, there is a ton of money difference (average of about 10-15 grand) between the Tradesman...- Darin Heath

What special / secret / normal places do you hunt for a new truck?!?
So this dealership isn't just a local one for you and the others that mentioned it? Great find and I appreciate you letting me know about them, despite what would be an awesome drive. You are right, I did check out their prices. They are even less than trucks sold in the lowest cost of living...- Darin Heath

What special / secret / normal places do you hunt for a new truck?!?
Hey guys. I'm a current and fairly recent owner of a 2014 Laramie 2500 4x4 Mega Cab. It tows great, but its a gasser and I'd like to purchase a newer diesel Ram 2500 (2018-2020) of some kind (not Tradesman) with mileage under 40k. Nothing wrong with my current truck, and I've dumped 3-4k in...- Darin Heath

How could I help revitalize a Ram 2500
Hello Ram experts: Up front, let me admit I am not mechanically inclined, but have done work like belts, brakes, easy to replace sensors, alternators, etc... whatever is easy to learn on your own. Last year I bought a 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie Mega Cab with the 6.4 hemi gasser. I needed a bigger...- Darin Heath

Strange gauge on dashboard, unknown purpose, please help identify
I looked. There is clearly after market struts that have lifted the truck up likely 8 inches above stock, but not the suspension air bags that would make sense for all the parts I found. It's all good, its not hurting anything for it all to be down there, just irratating that none of it seems to...- Darin Heath

I wish you were right. Suspension air bags would have been a welcome surprise for me, but unfortunately there isnt anything like that. The ride coming down I-10 would leave me to believe, as rough as it was on my posterior, that if there was any kind of suspension air bags or help of any kind...- Darin Heath

Ok. I think after crawling around underneath, you guys more knowledgable than I can close the gap. Mind that I embarrasingly have a CDL and should know this stuff better, but the way big rigs do air brakes and the whole braking system is far more simple that the kind of "civilian" style systems...- Darin Heath

I think sir that you may be right. It was clearly a long haul / work kind of truck. They put about 24000 miles year on it. That gauge range makes me think you are right.- Darin Heath

I looked at it while driving back from Phoenix. I didnt see the gauge move. I fear you may be correct that its for something that no longer is part of the truck, but I can't understand why I would hear a hissing air noise when I push the level switch down, and nothing when it goes up. I was...- Darin Heath

Hello guys: New owner of a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie. I owned a 2012 Tundra prior, so my understanding is limited to the simple but reliable Toyota line. I am being overwhelmed by the "fancy" of this Dodge Truck that has lots of bells and whistles. I've only had it a day but curiosity is...- Darin Heath
