    Yowza!! $1700 brakes?

    Do it yourself and save a ton of cash, My last front brake job cost me less than 600 bucks as I bought the Evolution pads and rotors. These brakes are awsome zero brake dust and I mean zero dust but yours probably would be less as yours is a 1500 and mine is a 3500.

    Add heavy duty coil springs to 2500 RAM?

    I have the Air Lift on my 2012 Ram 3500 Diesel and they work great. I tow a 13k pound 5th wheel and I pump them up to 90lbs and the truck sits perfectly level when towing and when I'm not towing I drop them down to 20 pounds and for a 3500 she rides good.

    Looking for new tires

    I had the Rugged Terrain on a Grand Cherokee and they did last a long time but as they wore down they got really loud. How were yours as they wore down did they get very loud.

    Looking for new tires

    I'm looking to replace the BFG All Terrain T/A K02's on my 2012 3500 Limited. They were a ok tire but less than 27K miles on them I would never buy these tires again even rotating every oil change, they are almost down to the wear bars and have become very loud. I'm looking at two different...

    Camping trip over in a split second

    That really sucks, people today do not pay attention while driving, I have a 53 year old classic car and I can't tell you how many people have pulled out in front of me or have passed me then get just past my front bumper then cut in and slow down or hit their brakes. Some people are really...

    I have the BFG KO-2's on my 2012 3500 and they will be replaced this fall. Not a really good tire great in the snow when new but once they start to wear they suck. I'm looking at the Maxxis Bravo- 771. Good looking tire 50K tread life for just under $200 a tire LT265/70/17's

    Maxxis Tires LT265/70/17

    Going to need to replace my BFG's T/A's K02's with only 25k on them. Never again but they were 100 times better than the Firestones the truck came with, has anyone bought the Maxxis Bravo-771 tires ? They look like a good tire and not really that expensive.

    Traded in my Ram

    Nice looking truck, our Durango is that is the White Tri Coat Pearl and it's beautiful when it's clean and in the sun. I noticed Ram didn't put those junk Firestone tires on it that's, those Bridgestones are a huge improvement over those Firestones.

    2500 - Do I want the 3.73 or 4.10?

    If you plan on going to a heavier trailer some day you will be much happier with the 4:10's, they pull so much easier

    What's better? 6.4L or the Cummins Diesel

    If you are going to order one get the 6.4 with 4:10's. I have a 2012 3500 limited and my nephew just bought a 2500 with the 6.4 and 4:10's and he has more towing capacity and more tongue weight than my 3500 diesel. Granted the diesel has more torque and will go up hills easier than the 6.4 and...

    Got oil changed and dealership didn’t tighten oil plug drained all oil out while wife was driving!

    Just another reason why I never take my truck to the dealership for anything other than Warranty work, I just don't trust them, I have friends that have perfectly running trucks and cars and they take them to the deal for regular service and when they get them back it seems like something screws...

    4th gen transfer case exploded

    This transfer case was designed and built by New Process Gear in Syracuse NY. When we were bought out by Magna international about 6 years later they moved all of the manufacturing to Mexico because the workers who built the best Transfer Case in the world for GM, Ford and Chrysler refused to...

    Ok... everyone has issues with their trucks! What is a good truck today?

    Ram,1500 Eco Diesel. My son inlaw gets around 28 mpg on the highway. Fords are just butt ugly and I would walk before I drove a Ford. The new chevy's are nice looking but don't care for their interior's

    Weighing Down Bed for Winter

    I have a 2012 3500 limited with the diesel and I put 9, 70 pound sand tubes over the rear axle. With the torque of the diesel it's really easy to spin the tires even in 4 wheel. Plus with the stiffer suspension as I pull a 7 1/2 ton 5th wheel the sand bags give me a little smoother ride. The...

    Michelin LTX M/S or Falken Wildpeak AT3W

    My daughter bought the Michelin Defenders LTX M/S tires for her Grand Cherokee Eco-Diesel last fall. We live due east of lake Ontario and 250 inches of snow is the normal. She absolutely loves those tires. She told me half the time she didn't need 4wd last winter. I just purchased a set for our...

    1500 vs 2500

    My nephew just bought a 2500 with the 6.4 with 4:10's and his payload and towing capacity is more than my 2012 3500 Limited Diesel. Go with the 2500 6.4 you will be very happy with the towing performance.

    3500 Limited Towing New 5th wheel

    I had firestone's on my truck from the factory, after 20K miles and two blowouts I now have BFG T/A KO2's and love them. What a difference a good tire makes on a truck. Firestone must have given Ram a very good deal to put them on their trucks because I would never buy them.

    3500 Limited Towing New 5th wheel

    Mtofell your right I had a brain fart ! Did a ton of research on the air bags, It's either Firestone or Air Lift. Firestone sells more just because of the name. They both have life time warranties on the bags but the Air lift looks easier to install. The Air Lift 5000 does have a bumper...

    I have a 2012 3500 CC Limited and just upgraded our 5th wheel camper and when I hook up the back end sags a good 3/4 inches. What is the best way to get the truck level again ? Air shocks or the load leveling shocks or have another leaf spring put in. Any suggestions would be great

    Looking to replace my tires on my 2012 3500 SRW

    Thanks for the reply. I have to go with 10 ply E tires on the 3500 plus towing the 5th wheel. I like the Michelin but some of the reviews I read from people that tow say they feel a little soft in the side wall. That's why I kinda like the BFG T/A KO2's as they have a stronger side wall but...

    Looking to replace my tires on my 2012 3500 SRW

    Thanks, My brother put Cooper A/T's on his truck. Don't remember which one ( AT 3 I think) but after 7000 miles the tire noise would drive you out of the truck. I have Coopers ( CS5'S ) on my cars and love them but after riding in my brothers truck I'm not to sure on them.
