Should I take the Honda Pilot or the RAM to haul rock?
This is a full pallet of retaining wall stones (somewhere around 2300lbs). I have since got Airlift 5000's and a dump trailer. I made a number of trips with a pallet in the bed and it did OK (front end was a little squirrely), but I won't do that to the truck again. The dump trailer is the...- JohnnyMac

Camper Towing
One thing to consider is that the hemi's max torque is around the 4000 rpm mark and max HP is around 5600 rpms, so they do generally have to downshift to get into that power band when towing something.- JohnnyMac

OLD GUY NEEDS HELP
I believe that the air suspension has a setting that will set the truck down lower when "Parked" which will make it easier to get inside. Auto folding steps are generally lower depending on manufacturer however not all are. The problem with snowy, cold MN is that the air suspension is...- JohnnyMac

Engine dies while at highway speed
The only thing on your list of new parts that I would think would cause an instant shut down would be the fuel pump, but I don't think it would cause the truck to go into limp mode. Also, have you actually scanned for the codes or are you just assuming that because the CEL didn't come on there...- JohnnyMac

Which tires will not vibrate? 35x12.5r20
Problem #1 right there.... Seriously, you need to wait until you have the alignment completed and the tires balanced before you make any decisions. Also when balancing (road force would be best) have them check for runout. Your "friend" may have hit a curb and dented a rim. If after all... -
Regretting ordering 3.92 on my 22 Ram Ecodiesel and almost debating paying to downgrade to 3.21
Exactly, that's why I suggest the Cybertruck kit for the RAM. I assume you are talking about the latest generation of EcoDiesel? My 2018 was standard with the 3:55.- JohnnyMac

Another tire recommendation thread please.
For my truck, I usually find the tire I want then go find the cheapest place to get it. My wife's Acura had Michelin Pilots on it and they were awesome, so when it came time to replace I opted for a little more aggressive Cross Climate II's (love them). Costco had them in stock and were about... -

Re-paint sprayed-in bed liner question
Looks great! Matches up well. -
Cranks well but will not start
Welcome to the forum. Can you hear the fuel pump running when you turn the key to run (without cranking/starting the engine)? How much fuel did you have when you were on the ramps? May have been at such an angle that the fuel pump was running dry and caused some damage. The fact it didn't...- JohnnyMac

Re-paint sprayed-in bed liner question
Not sure about yours, but I have a lifetime warranty on my Line-X spray in liner. I think most of the bigger names (Line-X, Rhino, etc.) offer that warranty. -

Silly ass question but I got to ask
Thanks for getting back. Hopefully it'll help someone else down the line.
