    Maintenance Pkg

    What's the skinny on the maintenance package for Ram diesels? Is it 7500 miles intervals or 15K? My dash computer says I'm at 50% for fuel filter and oil life, but the dealer printed out a sheet that showed 7500 mile service intervals. I'm at 7200 miles. He said I could look up the...

    Switch from 3.73 to 4.10 or CTD?

    Anyone here that tows a trailer switch rom a 3.73 to a 4.10 geared 6.4? If so are you happy enough with the performance/mileage to keep you from ever going CTD? I luv the 6.4 power as a daily driver, but would prefer a little more low end torque & MPG when towing.

    B&W Companion Slider

    Anyone have this hitch (3405 model) installed with the B&W Turnoveball system? I just had one installed and it is a very slick product. I do have a question for anyone with it though. What do you do to remove the base? I've loosened the pull down bolt & pulled the ball pin handle, but the...

    Ram HD 20" wheel inserts removal?

    Anyone removed and/or painted the chrome inserts on their stock 20" rims? I know there was a thread with pics of what the rims looked like after removal and with some painted inserts, but can't find it.

    Rear defrost?

    Anyone with the rear window defroster option have visible defroster lines in the glass? I allegedly have this option and have a dash button that lights up (also indicated on the climate screen), but it doesn't appear to do much and i don't see any defrost lines in the windows. I have the...

    4-pin trailer connection issue

    Hooked up the new boat trailer to my 4-pin connector and only the brake lights and turn signals work, no tailights or running lights. Anyone know which fuse # to check? I tried F29 (listed as trailer running lights in manual), but it looked perfectly fine. Could this be a bigger issue than...

    Fog Lights/Driving Lights won't turn off?

    So I discovered that when my lights switch is set to the parking lights icon (open O on switch) the fogs/driving lights also come on. I can't turn them off though (for any setting). There's a button on the dash with a picture of a headlight aiming down that illuminates the same icon in yellow...

    Manual Shift button

    Let me start by saying the transmission shifts properly (as necessary) when the selector is set to manual mode. The issue is the dash screen doesn't always indicate the gear change even when you feel the downshift shift. Mostly happens when you manually push the -/+ button to downshift. Anyone...

    Towing report 6.4 Hemi...good, bad, underwhelmed

    Well today was the first real test of my 6.4 towing our 7000 lb loaded travel trailer with 500 lbs in the bed about 140 miles in the MD hills & shorter mountain grades in PA. I gotta say I was underwhelmed. I don't know if it's the poor 6-speed gearing choices in the 66RFE or the torque...

    Line-X

    Added a Line-X bedliner Friday. Very happy with how it turned out. If you didn't get the factory bedliner this is the way to go. I was first appt in the morning at the shop and it took them under 2 hrs to sand and spray. I just went with the Standard Line-X rather than the Premium. It was way...

    Smittybuilt Beaver Step

    Just installed one of these....it's a serious chunk of iron. It fits a bit loose in the 2" adaptor sleeve, but looks cool and is fully functional. I haven't heard any rattle with normal driving either. It sits about 5-6" lower than the bumper step and will provide serious protection if somebody...

    Real experiences towing 3.73 gears

    Ok i'm still having issues deciding if 3.73 will be the right choice. I've got a great deal on a 6.4 Hemi truck with 3.73 gears, but no 100% sure yet. And yes I can order one at $4K more but not at a great deal so thats not feasible. I've read all i can find at RV.net, Ramforumz, trailer sites...

    new here, considering 2500

    Hey guys/gals i'm new to the forum, but considering moving up from a half ton to a pre-owned 2500 Laramie 6.4L 4x4 Crew. The truck has under 25K miles and a build date of 11/2013. Price is right around $40K. Do you see any issues I might run into? Does that sound like a decent price to pay...
