    Unburied it.

    Comfortable tow weight (not maximum) for my 2017

    With that set up you will be 100% over the legal limit of the truck's payload. Guaranteed. I do not feel comfortable with that... A 32'+ 7000lb+ trailer is much too big for a 1/2-ton to tow comfortably. That thing is going to be a big sail and push you around in crosswind conditions.

    Differential type in 1500 Tradesman

    Unless it specifically says "Anti-Slip Differential" on the build sheet, you've got open diffs.

    Waterless car wash..

    Works great if you do it right - I like Optimum No-Rinse, and I'm pretty generous with the amount I spray on before I wipe off. It's a pain doing it with the truck because it's so big though.

    Sport or Laramie

    No it doesn't, comes with a 4-way power passenger seat. And again as stated above cooled seats if you get the leather option. Only option missing is the heated rear seats.

    1 wheel bandit?

    I think you can only do the back... fronts are usually lockers on trucks.

    1 wheel bandit?

    If ordered without the LSD option, then they are both open diffs stock. It doesn't what axle you have, 3.21/3.55/3.92 if the LSD option was not added when ordering it will come with open diff.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I didn't think they did P-rated KO2's in any sizes...? BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2

    Difference between Rebel and Outdoorsman??

    Oops, I mixed up the two - it looks like 2017 models in Canada still offer the Outdoorsman trim level, not sure about USA, but you can semi-make an Outdoorsman by picking and choosing options for the most part.

    Difference between Rebel and Outdoorsman??

    Outdoorsman is an outdoor-oriented package on a Ram SLT, basically it included the protection package (skid plates, etc.), the bigger 32-gallon fuel tank, LT 17" E-rated tires, a slightly raised ride height, LSD, the 44-45 transfer case, and either a two-tone finish or monochrome non-chrome...

    Difference between 3.21 and 3.92 Axle Ratios

    That's usually the case.

    Comfortable tow weight (not maximum) for my 2017

    Basically, all 8-speed 5.7 Hemi trucks have the heavy-duty transmission and oil coolers already installed IIRC. I have the 3.92's on my truck, so 1400lbs payload and 9850lbs towing ratings. Didn't even really feel the ~6000lbs U-Haul trailer that I used to move, even on steep (10%) grades. I...

    Does my truck need winter tires?

    Just to put it in perspective, a set of 4 winter tires - assuming stock 17" size - will cost about $500, and I'm sure the local Craigslist will yield some rims to mount them on for cheap. For me that is worth the money for the extra safety and control I have driving in winter conditions, and...

    Does my truck need winter tires?

    Winter tires (great for ALL winter conditions, not just snow and ice) are always a good investment if you live in a climate that gets below freezing a lot of the time. If you don't want to go to a full-on winter tire, and having to swap them out every spring and fall, think about a 4-season...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    My dome lights don't come on when the door opens now. I guess I'll have to go see the dealer. :(

    Bit of a fender bender...

    Yes, you can set it to not record audio - that's how I have mine set up. OP, glad you are OK!

    LSD confirmation/confusion help

    You have to remember, our LSD on the 1500's are clutch-type - they will not engage without any load. So it acts as an open diff until there's enough load to get the clutch plates to engage and make it act as a LSD. Thus, the "lift it in the air and spin the wheel" test doesn't work on these (or...

    New tire question

    Yes if you're towing that much.

    Wanting darker, but not smoked, tail lights

    Yeah, a couple coats of VHT Nightshade ought to darken the tails nicely.

    Yeah just watch out, you come home and you won't get to drive it! :roflsquared:

    Tire weight for new tires question

    If you have the 3.92s like I do the effect will be minimal. I went from the stock SR-As to stock-sized BFG KO2 that are 15 pounds heavier (8-ply sidewall) and I barely notice the difference day to day. Full throttle is more noticeable.

    Recommend me a tire

    KO2s are surprisingly quiet on the highway. Also very good for year-round, and winter-rated with the "Snowflake" symbol.

    Spark Plug POLL for your HEMI

    Pre-mid-2013 is copper, post-mid-2013 is platinum. Before the changeover the interval on plugs were 30,000 miles. Now they are 100,000 miles thanks to the platinum plugs.

    Do I have a cabin filter?

    20,000mi or 1 year, whichever. I have noticed much less dust, pollen and other airbone particulates in my truck since the mod. I now use a duster twice a month instead of four times a month!
