    2500 vs 3500 Payload

    Not long ago I owned a 2500 and bought a Lance 825 camper for it which is reportedly made for half-ton pickups. One day while reading my truck specs, I saw I was actually overloading the truck with the camper and 2 passengers. It was explained to me that the Cummins 2500 has a lower payload (not...

    Is there a market for used tires?

    I was thinking of asking $300 for all 4. Thoughts? I went as low as $75 for my Subarus tires, and had no interest at all.

    Is there a market for used tires?

    Before I spend big bucks on new tires, I wanted to get opinions on the likelihood of selling the Firestone tires which came on my 2016 Ram 3500. They are size 275-70R18E, and have 500 miles on them. When I bought my 2016 Outback, I immediately bought Michelin tires, and now have ended up with 2...

    2500 or 3500

    I just upgraded from a 2500 to a 3500, and the ride is just a little stiffer but not a lot. When I put a couple hundred pounds of brick in the back, it actually seemed to ride smoother than my 2500 did unloaded. It is my understanding the axle on the 3500 is larger than the 2500 as well. I love...

    Causes of diff bearing wear

    sI old the truck after the dealership stated it had been used to tow something way too heavy which is saying a lot with a Cummins. I am now the proud owner of a 3500 SLT

    Load range E Tires for our trucks

    I am a huge fan of the Michelin Defender line of tires. I had them on my 2015 Ram 2500, and plan to install them on my 2016 Ram 3500. The ride is very smooth, and the tires are quiet. Traction is supposed to be good in wet and snowy weather, although I didn't get a chance to try it.

    Causes of diff bearing wear

    Hopefully, I can pick the truck up tomorrow and will take pictures of the pinion especially. I don't know the names of the bearings, but there were two round donut like bearings about axle size in diameter that were slightly discolored a light blue as well with some mild scoring on them as well...

    Causes of diff bearing wear

    Last week, I took my 2015 Ram 2500 into my mechanic to have a rear limited slip diff installed. To his surprise, most of the diff bearings, and especially the pinion bearing showed signs of severe wear despite only having 23K on the odometer. I purchased this truck used with 19K, and was told...

    Dino or synthetic

    I just purchased a 2015 Ram 2500, and am ready for an oil change. The owners manual states 15w-40 if above freezing, or 5w-40 synthetic if below. My dealer said if I use synthetic, it will damage my engine since it does not get cold enough to warrant it. Thoughts?
