    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    That's what I was thinking that it should be a direct swap. A 2500 is more than capable of doing what I want to do, but if a 3500 pops up that's comparable in features and same price ide consider it.

    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    I just want to reiterate what im asking. Several people have taken what I asked the complete wrong way. I'm not looking at changing anything that would severely change the payload rating. I know if the tires weight 20lbs more, bumper 10lbs more that those would decrease payload 30lb right there...

    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    No. I dont want to TURN a laramie into a power wagon. I want to see if it possible to make a laramie LOOK like a power wagon. I know if, let's say the wheels and tires of a power wagon are like 20lbs more then that would lower payload 20lbs. But I'm not worried about a little bit. Most trucks...

    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    I never said I wanted to do what you guys are talking about. I'm aware changing bumpers doesn't change payload. My original post only mentioned exterior parts like bumpers, grills wheels/tires etc...

    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    I never said anything about changing payload. I said get a laramie that already has the better payload, but is it possible to change the exterior parts to make it look like a power wagon.

    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    I did notice that. But then saw the 70k$ starting price lol I'm sure a used 2019+ laramie with getting the correct parts would be cheaper.

    Will power wagon parts fit on a 2500 laramie or big horn?

    So chances are I'll be looking at getting a 5th gen 2500 within a year or so. I absolutely love the looks fo the power wagon. But seeing how my 1500 has better payload and towing, and that's why I'm considering upgrading is to get more payload. I was wondering if it's possible to get the front...

    Stock wheel load ratings

    Does anyone know how to find the load or weight rating of stock wheels? I have a 20inch rim and am curious if they have a rating (I'm sure they do) and where to find it. I found this pic on the internet. It's the exact same wheels I got. But I'm seeing alot of different numbers but nothing with...

    Fuel injection to carb conversion?

    What problems are you having? Trying to modify the truck that much would probably cost more than you'll want to spend. If your truck has high mileage it may even cost more than the truck is worth.

    2020 RAM 2500 6.4L - Loud tick even after lifter replacement at 19K miles

    I think chances are your 1st lifter that failed ate up the cam a bit, dealer decided to not change the cam, so the problem persisted after putting a good lifter on a bad cam. There's also the chance you bugged them enough and they took your truck, added in some Walmart magic oil additive, and...

    Why is gvwr lower than axle weight ratings?

    So I'm looking at my truck (2019 ram 1500) and it's limits etc... and I noticed my gvwr is 7100lbs but both my axle rating together ar 8000lbs. I can't remember each axle exactly but I do know together they are 8000lbs. Does anyone know why there is a 900lbs difference? Is that just ram playing...

    Tmps and mpg switching to LT tires

    I have a 2019 5th gen ram 1500 with the 275/55r20 Bridgestone alenza tires. These tires are ok until I hit snow. Wanting to go to an LT tire. Looking at discounts firestone destination X/T LT275/60r20. I was wondering about what mpg drop should I expect to see? Cruising at 60mph I get about 22...

    Power adders for towing?

    Oh. My apologies. In your original comment my dyslexia must have kicked in and I thought you said don't go with LT tires lol. But I have been looking at the pulsar. Only thing is all the videos I've seen show that top center screen shows the tune your under. But while towing I use that spot for...

    Power adders for towing?

    How am i likely maxed out? My payload is over 1500lbs. I dont weigh that much.

    Power adders for towing?

    Yeah I know ow what you mean. They are good trucks. Only thing I will say going over the mountains is don't go faster than like 55-60. My father in law has a 2017 rebel 5.7 4x4 3.92 and he was going uphill close to 70 towing 8klbs and ran into coolant and oil over heating. After about an hour...

    Power adders for towing?

    Randy actually brought up something I've never thought about. I understand bigger tires effectively acts like your reducing your gear ratio, but why stay away from LT tires? That's so etching I've never thought about.

    Power adders for towing?

    Oh i'm by no means trying to imply that the 5.7 and 3.92 gears have a lack of power. I just want more lol I'm just not seeing much performance parts that dont take away power below 3k rpms. No I absolutely love my truck and know what I'm doing isn't really even pushing to bad. Just wanting a...

    Power adders for towing?

    What's your tongue weight? Mines only like 750 if I remember right and my payload is rated to over 1500lbs. My trailer is barely using half my payload capacity.

    Power adders for towing?

    I only meant 7-8k depending on how loaded my trailer is. If I know if im at a place with hook ups I'll be 7k but if I'm loaded up full tanks and everything my trailer will be closer to 8k. My truck can pull almost 11500. so I know even 8k is well under my limit and I have no plans to get even...

    Power adders for towing?

    So I have a 5th gen 2019. 5.7L, 4x4, 3.92 axles, 4 door, 6.5 bed. I'm wanting to do upgrades to help it tow better. I tow between 7-8k lbs. Stock I think it does the job fine and am very please. But I would like a little more "get off the line" and "cruising" power so to speak. I know there are...

    Shudder and strange motion while towing.

    The trailer was kinda leaning a little lower in the back as opposed to the front. Getting an adjustable hitch was something I thought about doing. So I guess I'll try that out and see if it helps. But my truck has 125k on it but I did do a tranny filter change around 75k. I do also have a line...

    Shudder and strange motion while towing.

    Let me first start by saying im fairly new at towing. I have a 2010 ram hemi 4x4 crew cab with 3.92 rear end. Can tow almost 10k lbs. I just picked up a pop up trailer weighing about 3500 lbs. I know im way under my limit and power wise it did fine moving the trailer. But I noticed on upshifts...

    Dash/instrument cluster gauge swap

    So I have a 2010 bighorn and the backlights are starting to go out. I pulled the gauges out only to find you cant change the bulbs because they are tiny led lights soldered in the mother board. I dont have the skill or know how to fix them so it seems my only option is to replace it. But if im...
