    Brand oil used for your oil change

    Thanks for the thread. My new to me truck currently has syn 15W-40 Pennzoil in it, and is closing in on a change. Will go ahead and switch over to the Rotella, which I have liked before with other vehicles, and call it good.

    Updating 2010 730n rer to work with iPhone bluetooth to stream music?

    PS, I did a search, here on this forum, and elsewhere, but did not find anything conclusive.

    Updating 2010 730n rer to work with iPhone bluetooth to stream music?

    I just got a 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie that has the 730n Uconnect RER model. I thought because of the Uconnect it would be able to play my music on my iPhone (currently 6). But I guess not. Is there any hack that lets you upgrade the unit to connect via bluetooth like in subsequent models...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Gonna figure out how to upload music to the HDD today, and figure out a good way to add bluetooth to this 2010. Not built in until the next year.

    Thinking I will get one of these for the back. For the dogs and such. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TF4DHGG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AB8J5CCO82BJW&psc=1#customerReviews

    Happy New (to me) Truck Day! I love the fancy retractable running boards with lights. And I just wanted to keep driving tonight!

    Dodge or RAM ?

    Mine says Dodge on the rear badge.

    Hmm. Good to know. Can a guy look that up with the VIN or something to see when/where it was produced?

    Ok, bringing this one home as soon as the financing funds and the deal is closed, and after they put all new tires on it. Pretty happy! Seems to be a clean, well treated truck...

    Dodge or RAM ?

    I am buying my first one, a 2010, so it is a Dodge still. It is the one in my avatar pic, and pictured here: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/mySavedListings.action?sourceContext=RecentSearches_false_0#listing=195926808 PS, Hi there all! I am new here!

    That was kinda what I was thinking. The camper I got from my neighbor he used to use in his older chevy 1500, which was ok, but a bit soggy in the rear on corners, etc. Adding a boat, even with airbags, and I am not thinking that would be the best, especially pulling over an 8,700 foot pass.

    My concern would be both carrying a camper, and towing a boat with a 1500. But might warrant some consideration, considering the cost of used diesel 2500/3500 models.

    Hi folks. My name is Steve. I am currently shopping for my first RAM. I have my eyes on the 2500HD level, Laramie trim level, i6 Diesel. Long or standard bed. Will be carrying a Northstar pop up truck camper and pulling a ski boat. A lighter comp style ski boat, not a big wake boat. So...
