Finally upgraded tires
We lived on a crappy dirt road for 15 years and I ran those KO2's and really liked them. Great traction and fairly quiet on the highway. When we moved here to real paved streets and the KO2's wore out went to Michelin LTX AT2's for the quiet ride. I did like those KO2's a lot though. -
Truck Industry History Question
Hey Phillyrube, I wish they made Crager SS wheels in 20" for our Rams! My 2012 Ram is silver and those rims would look really good old school!- pt1655

Tire help can't make up my mind.
We lived on a crappy dirt road when we had our 25' travel trailer so I put Michelin LTX /AT2 E series and really like these tires. Decently quiet, good traction. Now we live in suburbia and no dirt roads so if I could afford it I would run the Michelin Defender for the little better ride. -
Tires recomended for towing all season
I went to Michelin LTX AT2s when I wanted a load range E tire towing our 5000lb travel trailer. We live on a dirt/mud road and these tires do great in mud, snow and highway. The Michelin Defenders are great too if you do mostly highway or paved streets and they are a bit quieter and slightly... -
Tires
Speaking from personal experience, when we were living on a dirt road in Arizona I really liked the KO2's on my 2012 1500. Very good tire and not too much noise. Here in Oregon we don't even see dirt roads anymore so when the KO2's needed replacing I had Michelin LTX AT2's put on and they are a... -

LT Tires on 20" OE wheels - pressures, clearance, traction, mileage, ride
Great post, thanks for the writeup. I went to Michelin LTX AT2's in the LT size and am very happy with them. But, can you elaborate on the chalk tire method for tire pressure? I run 40-42 psi when not towing or heavy load as Discount Tire recommended, the sticker on the door says 35 psi stock. I... -
Which Rim Would You Choose?
Dogpatch, I too loved the 5 spoke old school cragars. I wish they made a set of 20" in the old style for our trucks! -
Who is 100% satisfied with your seat covers....
Cabela's seat covers here; great fit, 50,000+ miles no wear, excellent product! -
true dual exhaust
Hi, following your exhaust post. My exhaust guy put a cross pipe in to eliminate the factory squashed merge pipe, 2-36" glass pack mufflers and left the rear pipes and resonators stock. My previous setup was true dual exhau with shorter mufflers like Corsa that left me with such a drone that I...- pt1655

Still love lookin' at my 17' truck. Anybody else?
Georgiasport, great look on your truck! I especially like the hood & the grill. Were they expensive and where did you get them? -
Leer Camper shell
I originally bought my Leer topper to help with wind resistance when towing our 25' travel trailer. While it may or may not have helped is open to debate because of wind, load and what not, I think it helped a little. We have since sold our trailer and don't tow anymore but I can't count the... -
To Shell or not to shell, that is the question!
Avantiguy, oh snap! That's funny! I thought you were some young whippersnapper until I saw your age! I hope I'm still driving my Ram at your age! -
OEM Tires
I've got 5000 miles on my set of Michelin LTX's now with no sign of wear. Great riding tire, smooth and dang quiet for an LT tire. We towed a 25' 6000lb travel trailer for years with these tires (this is our 2nd set on this truck) and they are good solid towing tires. Sure a little pricey but I... -
To Shell or not to shell, that is the question!
Looks great. As long as it works for you and you're happy with it, great! The extra height back there has been a lifesaver for me many a time. -
Dual exhaust with x pipe.
Excellent! I had true dual exhaust, x pipe and long glass packs on my Ram for years and loved it. The longer glass packs were mellow and the x pipe really smoothed out the engine. I did lose some low end torque with no headers but it wasn't much. Then I got old and my hearing couldn't take the...- pt1655

You decide
I like option #2 if you're going to use the silver 6.4 badge. If you use a badge with red in it, either #1 or #3 would look good too. I found these "dodge" badges on Ebay and used them for the old school look which most guys don't seem to like but I do. In any case, good move to add a good... -
Guess the damage
Bummer! It doesn't look that bad from a body shop perspective, let us know the quote when you get it. I backed up into my brother's gas station metal pipe in front of the gas pump once. Embarrassing and costly too! Good luck! -
Show them off! Cool stickers, decals, or livery’s you’ve added!
Added these "Dodge" emblems to the front side fenders and grill as well.............. -
Black Ram Wheel Skins
Thanks for the reply! I hope you sell these soon; quite a deal! -
Black Ram Wheel Skins
Hello WhiteNBlackRam, Will these wheel skins fit my 2012 Ram express with 20" rims? If so, I would be interested. Thanks, Pete -
BF KO2
I have the same tires on my '12 Ram; my travel trailer weighs 5000lbs loaded. My tire guy at Discount Tire said to do 45 psi when not towing and 60 psi when towing; I suspect you guys with trailers in the 8-9000lb range should use 65psi.- pt1655

Throttle flat spot
Sounds like you're experiencing throttle lag. Our trucks have fly-by-wire gas pedals; a sensor at the gas pedal sees how much pressure you are using on the gas pedal and adjusts the throttle electronically with a 1 second or more delay built in. There are 2 ways we all take care of that throttle...- pt1655

Fuel tank
I've given some thought to doing that as well for towing our trailer but don't know where to start. Looking forward to some others chiming in..............- pt1655
