    Diesel question

    Which is more problematic, the regular diesel or the HO for the 1 ton? My 6.4 did fairly ok through the mountains but if I start doing more trips through the mountains, may upgrade. Won’t be until next year if I do upgrade. Just starting to do my research. Used to own a 2000 1 ton with a...

    Anyone change out their bed for a RV puller bed similar to the link I’m posting? Looking for a good one to put on my 1 ton. How much a PITA is it to do? Most likely have it installed. Then try to sell my truck bed. Thanks. https://800toolbox.com/rvtow-1/rvtow.htm

    Are the axles on a SRW the same as a dual rear axle? Just wondering if I replace the 8 foot bed with a flat bed that I can change to duals. Thanks.

    Fog lights

    Have a 2021 Ram 3500 tradesman. Didn’t come with fog lights. Whats a good kit that doesn’t cost a kidney? Prefer LED. Wiring will be easy since I won’t have to go through the firewall. Have the accessories buttons on lower part of the dash for external stuff. Haven’t popped out the covers where...

    2021 3500 hood

    Have under 3000 miles on my new 2021 3500. Going down the road above 50 mph, the hood shakes like it wants to come off. Have slammed the hood many times to insure it’s shut. It still shakes bad. WTF?

    How to watch a movie

    My 2021 Ram 3500 did not come with a cd/dvd drive. Have the big screen on this truck. My 2017 3/4 came with the cd/dvd drive and was able to watch a movie on the small screen while parked. Is there software that can be downloaded to enable watching a movie off my iPhone as I did with my 2017 Ram?

    2021 6.4 runs cooler

    Every vehicle I have ever owned showed max operating temperature just a hair under the half way mark. Even my 2017 Ram with 6.4 did this. My 2021 6.4 in my 1 ton shows between the quarter and half way mark. Even pulling my 10,000 lb 5th wheel it doesn’t budge. Did Ram makes these 6.4 engines to...

    6.4 with 8 speed?

    Am at a cross roads trying to decide if I want a diesel or 6.4 with gas. The added maintenance with the cummins and dealing with DEF has me having second thought. Looked at a diesel yesterday, then talked to the maintenance department on service costs. $400 a pop just to service the fuel filters...

    Looking at 3500 diesel ?

    Been looking around locally at 3500 diesels. One thing I have noticed is all of them have 3:73 rear ends. Would have thought at least 3:92's or 4:10's. Seems weird but must be the times. I tow 6-8 times a year camping with my 35 foot 5th wheel (10,000 lbs) so guess 3:73's wouldn't be to bad. Or...

    5th wheel help

    My new 2017 Ram 2500 tradesman came with the holes pre drilled in the bed for 5th wheel and gooseneck. Manual is worthless for information. Have looked underneath. Looks to be just holes drilled. So, if I want a 5th wheel, these holes are just in the right place to install one, correct? Or is...

Have pressed it when going down hill while pulling my camper but doesn't do anything. What is it supposed to do? since I don't have an air compressor on my...

    2017 3/4 ton tire pressure question

    Have a 17 3/4 ton with 6.4L engine. Side of door states 60 psi front, 80 psi rear. Seems odd. Same tires front and back. I put them at 70 psi all around for now until I get more information. Are the 3/4 and 1 tons like this?

    Tire discisions, need advice

    Posted earlier about tires with no success. Little different this time. Looking at Copper Discover AT/3 or Goodyear DuraTrac for my 2014 ram 1500. The cooper looks to be louder with wider tread. Also a little cheaper. The DuraTrac lugs are closer together so think will be quieter. Both have...
