Salt sucks
That sucks man. I would say that you got taken for a ride on that undercoat. You want to stay away from anything that dries and does stay fluid. Moisture and salt get underneath and accelerate rust, especially if you already had a little. You may be able to scrape that crap off and oil it and... -
I have a 2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman want upgraded seats
Probably a big horn. A longhorn would be leather, probably brown or tan. They would probably fit your tradesman, there is little difference between tradesman and bighorn level 1. -
Help with towing. New to owning a dodge
My Dad is pulling that size trailer with same truck just a 22. He’s pulled that trailer all over New Englan with the truck and a 15 Durango RT for a few years before the truck. You have to watch what and how you load it.- AlexC2350

3 alignments later truck still pulls left and right when on sloped road
My 2020 2500 has done this since I got it with 650 miles on it. I’m just about to roll 100k now and it still does it. I’ve never noticed any odd tire wear or anything like that. I did just have to replace the drivers side wheel bearing and I wondered if that added to its premature wear in my...- AlexC2350

Hemi Starter Motor
My starter left me stranded at 50k miles on 2 year old truck. I was away for work 4 hours from home. Is what it is. Battery also went dead around that time.- AlexC2350

Highest towing capacity for the 5.7
These dealers online don’t even really understand that payload and towing capacity differs between models and various options or why it even matters. They almost never post a pic of the door sticker and same with gearing option. It’s very irritating when searching for a truck. The nice thing...- AlexC2350

Startup clatter a week after first oil change...
The last three trucks I’ve had had hemis. 17 5.7 an 18 6.4 and 20 6.4. All three clattered on cold starts on the recommended penzoil. Worse after a short cycle of the engine. Lubeguard worked wonders for the 17 and 18. I’ve had the my current 6.4 on amsoil since the second oil change and it...- AlexC2350

WOW - Rip Off Dealership
You’re right the dealerships will try to upsell everything and tons of people always going along with it. One thing with your truck though is that trans. I’d be changing my fluid and filter on that at 30k religiously. Probably not a flush though. The rest of the stuff can wait. The local...- AlexC2350

How much of a drop for my 3500 hitch?
I’ve pulled my Imagine 3000qb thousands of miles on a Reese hitch with 2” shank and a reducer, zero issue. Also a flat deck trailer. You will want like 8” of drop for that truck to have the flexibility towing different things. Personally I wouldn’t worry much about using weight distribution...- AlexC2350

OEM or Aftermarket wheel bearings
I would’ve loved to use timkens. Just none available anywhere. Both my inlaws retired from timken too.- AlexC2350

OEM or Aftermarket wheel bearings
I’ll install them myself so really I’m saving money still. I have had 295/70 cooper at3 on it pretty much the whole time and plan to stick with them. So that could contribute to them wearing a tad faster than I would’ve liked.- AlexC2350

OEM or Aftermarket wheel bearings
The search was tough, all the best deals were of questionable quality and the known good quality aftermarket ones were unavailable. So I ended up picking up 2 OEM bearings for $720.- AlexC2350

OEM or Aftermarket wheel bearings
Yeah there are definitely more options for 4th gen. 200 a piece for a good quality one I’d scoop it up but it’s seems like they’re either really cheap or pushing a grand for 2. I called my local sanel auto parts and he told me they don’t have any options for my truck, it’s a dealer part...- AlexC2350

OEM or Aftermarket wheel bearings
Thanks for the replies. I’ll look into the SKF. The best deal I found on mopar was 530 a piece. Hopefully can source something decent for a more reasonable price.- AlexC2350
