Distorted fender flare from Diesel fuel spillage.
Over the years I have overfilled the fuel tank causing some minor spillage. This spillage has caused the fender flair to distort at the bottom.

Trailer not connected?
Just spit balling here but check the back of the plug on your truck. There is a connection where the wiring harness meets the 4/7 way plug next to the licence plate. Just a thought as it happened to me on my 2014 Ram 1500. Good Luck- Grandpa Rick

2016 Laramie Total Electrical Failure – Except Radio Panel (no sound)

The vehicle would just shut down for no apparent reason, ie; no power steering, no power brakes etc. Turned out to be a faulty ignition switch which became a full recall by Chrysler. New switch installed was...- Grandpa Rick

Ram 2500 Hemi vs 3500 SRW Cummins
This was a great write-up and very timely for me. I agree with Skrap's comments too. I am fairly new to towing, (3 years hauling a travel trailer), and my Ram 1500 did an excellent job. Last summer we acquired a new trailer, 8 feet longer and of course a little heavier but still within the...- Grandpa Rick

Longer shank on hitch?
I am unable to drop my tailgate all the way down with my travel trailer hooked up to WD hitch because of the trailer jack placement. Do I need a longer shank ball mount or can I drill a new hole in the existing shank. Not a huge issue, just a pain in the butt.- Grandpa Rick
